PLANT EVERGREENS FOR
SHELTER AND ORNAMENT
Foliage During Winter Makes Them Efec
Windbreaks-By William j. Green, Horti-
cuIturist Forester, Ohio.

windbreaks are established. This is
no small incentive for planting, wheth-
er viewed from the aspect of senti-
ment or that of economic advantage.
The birds will many times compen-
safe for the consumption of fruit and
grain by the destruction of pernicious
insects which are becoming more and
grower.
For screens, to hide unsightly OBJ
jects or to secure a degree of privacy
to the home, evergreens, because of
persistent foliage, serve the purpose
at all seasons. Used for this purpose
they may be planted in straight or
curved rows, to suit the boundaries or
in almost any manner, so that the pur-
pose sought is realized. Very often,
where a row of trees may be essential,
in order to make serviceable screen,
the object can be quite as we'll at
tanned by grouping and by mingling
harmonious deciduous trees with
evergreens. For a formal screen a
dwarf or half-dwarf species is best,
but by shearing, or close clipping, even
such tall growing trees as Norway
spruce can be used. The hemlock is
admirable for the purpose, and there
are a number of species and varieties
of arborvitae, retinospora and juniper
which are good.
An evergreen hedge is but a close
Nv cliDned screen and the same SDecies
can be used for both. A screen needs
some pruning to prevent openings and
to keep the trees in somewhat SYM
metrical form, but a hedge should be
clipped once or twice each year, the
first early and the second time in

NOVELTY THAT is ATTRACTIVE
Hammock Cover Devised by Girl Of
Original Mind.

Really the greatest novelty that has
been seen this season is hammock
cover; it is backed by lots of practical,
good, common sense, too. Many a
hammock, faded and detected looking,
is perfectly strong, without break
and altogether too good to be dis
carded.
The cover that an ingenious girl has
devised is of natural linen; a piece is
cut to fit the top of the hammock,
while to this is scanned on both sides
valance about the depth IF the dis
carded fringe.
This valance had upon it a semi
conventional design, stenciled in full
green and yellow, the whole outlined
in brown heavy working cotton. The
lower edge of the valance was raw
eled and the fringe knotted. Pillows
were covered to match-a design with
the same motif and treated in the
same combination of colors being stem
ciled upon each.
The result was not only artistic, but
eminently practical, cool and Clearly.

which have to some extent supplanted
the suits of these materials. These
separate coats are, many Of them,
quite elaborate, but they need not be
50, for, as shown in the illustration,
it is quite possible to have them en-
tirely untrimmed, save perhaps for a
few bands of braid and some buttons,
fancy or Otherwise, as the taste of
to individual wearer dictates.
The model here shown is an ex-
tremely desirable one. 1t is almost
universally becoming to the figure, for
it's long lines give height and slender
ness, while the possibilities of fullness
in the fronts take from the too fiat effect
which sometimes mars the beauty of
pOngee garment. This fullness,
which is due to the two plaits in the
shoulder into which the material is
laid, may be held in all the way down
on coat, which is to be worn by a
stout woman, while for :. very slender
one it may be let out, as shown in the
cut. and then caught in again just a
little above the waist line.

tached, and proceed with your braid
ing. If you want a square scalloped eff
feet on the upper section, cut it in
square openings. absolutely even in
shape and size, face on the under side,
quitting with braid, and then inside
OF each square or scallop braid an ac-
curate geometrical pattern.
This may be a diamond, each sue
cessive line of braiding making a
smaller diamond until in the center you
have just knot of braid. Or you
can interlace or cross your braid. Or
you can trace small Greek key or
wall of Troy pattern inside each of
the squares.
The bodice must be similarly braid
ed If you have diamonds or braid on
the skirt, outline your chemisette or
yoke with smaller braid diamonds
with two or three fine lines of braid
running on either side. If you use
an interlacing or crossing pattern,
then trim the bodice with buttons
made of the cloth and criss-crossed
with the braid.

Wardrobes, it is everywhere the most
striking feature of midsummer modes.
Cloth and silk dresses are encrust-
ed with it. vests and vestees are al
most solidly braided and thinnest of
fabrics, like habitue silks, mulls, all
over laces, batistes and nets, are fairly
weighed down with it.
In a way this Is rather fortunate
form of trimming for the home dress
maker, for if she masters the some
what simple art of braiding fatty and
without puckering the fabric beneath,
she can secure very elaborate effects
at little cost On the other hand braid
lily applied or carelessly combined
with other trimmings will ruin an
otherwise effective costume.
The new braids come in all widths
and weights and weaves, from the
finest of wash soutaches to the most
marvellous of silk braids interviewer
with lace or hand-embrOidered motifs
on silk.
The novelty braids show most elab-
crate patterns ard often three or even
four colors in combination. Much tin
sci thread is also shown in the newer
braids intended for trimming silk or
net frocks, while the wash braids are
combined with heavy. washable laces.
Incidentally, all wash braid should
be shrunk before it is applied to tub
frocks. Otherwise the trimming will
probably shrink and the fabric will
not, thus giving the entire gown the
appearance of having been drawn out
Of shape by the application of the
braid.
Soutache braid either matching or
harmonizing with the fabric is first
aid to the home dressmaker, and if it
is to give best results a simple pat
tern must be chosen and carefully out
lined by the use Of perforated paper
or accurate measurements with bast-
ing thread.
For instance, perhaps you are max
ing a circular skirt with a shaped
fiounce above which you want braid
ed pattern. If the material is silk or
linen, shape your founce, haste it
under the upper section of the skirt
which is to be braided on the edge,
and hang the skirt perfectly.
Then rip off the f1ounce section,
marking clearly where it is to be at

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as if
they we're going to fall off, SO we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest we'll; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had a clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

During the entire cycle of the seasons
they may be made to accentuate and
brighten an infinite variety of colors
in plants, from the humblest flowers to
the gorgeous naples.
Every country home should have its
shelter belt of evergreens. Wind
breaks are not meant for the sole use
of extensive orchardists, as was once
thought, but should be so commonly
planted as to protect every home ex-
posed in the least to the ravages of
wind and storm. The saving in fuel
alone will defray the cost of planting
material in a few years time. Nor
need one wait dozen years or even

midsummer. Arborvitae, retinosporas
and jumpers bear clipping or shearing
best of all, but spruces, frs and even
pines are quite tractable under the
knife early in summer before the new
buds are fully formed, provided the
young growth only is cut.
An evergreen hedge should always
be kept wider at the base than at the
top. otherwise those portions of the
foliage which receive insufficient light
perish and unsightly dead spots ap,
pear 1t is useless to attempt to
start an evergreen hedge in the shade
of a tree. If one is in doubt as to
the propriety of planting an evergreen

Evergreens are of peculiar value
both for shelter and ornament At all
times they furnish barrier to wind
and cold, and the remarkably pic
turesque forms assumed by the adult
specimens of many species add much to
the attractiveness of a country homo,
especially when their boughs grace
In winter, when other trees are desti-
tute of foliage, these majestic trees
lend to the scene an air of animation
which mitigates in large measure the
severity and desolation of the season.
If tastefully intermingled with other
trees and shrubs about the home they
give warmth of verdure and variety of
outline unattainable without their use.
That many of the evergreens can be
successfully grown upon thin sandy
soils is. an additional argument in
their favor.
At the base of evergreens occasional
touches of color, such as are afforded
by beds of petunia, Gamma, SALIVA or
other bedding plants, are highly ef-
fective and satisfactory. Owing to
their vigor of growth and ease of
culture clumps of many of the peren-
NAL plants are exceedingly valuable
adjuncts used in this way, and if left
undisturbed, they will increase in
size and beauty from year to year.
Foxglove, platycodon, hardy phlox,
larkspur and a host Of others, from
which selection may be made accord
ing to the planters fancy, are avail
able for the purpose. In fact, ever
greens form most excellent back
ground for a great variety of charm
ing hues in flower, fruit and foliage.

Hang the skirt, then haste near the
edge. Turn the loose hem and haste
on braid then stitch on the braid with
a big stitch and it can be easily ripped
in case it wears out. This stitching
will not show on the right side. After
the braid is on the hem can be evened
and the skirt finished at the bottom.
This saves sewing braid on by hand.
