SENATOR SCOTT
At WHITE HOUSE
Does Not Believe the PreSi-
dent Will Go on the
Stump.

Senator Nathan Bay Scott. of West
Virginia, was an early caller on the
president this morning, and, upon leaV-
ing the White House said he did not be-
neve that the President would take the
stump, and that he believed the Presi-
dent was right I'm his decision not TO
do
Senator Scott accompanied Governor
Hughes on his recent experimenting
tour through WSet Virginia, and in
formed the President that the people OF
his state, as well as Maryland, We're
JaNOrdbly impressed with the New York
Hughes as one Of the most valuable
assets, from a experimenting point, OF
the Republican party.
Senator Scott said that as soon as
Internal Revenue Collector w. +. Glass
cock could wind up the affairs OF his
Office, he would send in his resignation
10 the President, although it had not
been asked for by the Executive, de-
spite the insistence Of one Of the West
Virginia factions that Glasscock should
resign, inasmuch as he had been named
as candidate for governor.
Representative J. Van Netchen OlcOtt
of New York discussed the political
situation with the President this morn
ing.
and Hughes will be elected, and that
both OF them will carry New York
State" he said. Il said that, and
mean it Hughes will OSe a few thou
votes, but the vote Of the conservatives
and the church Democrats will entirely
outweigh this"
Mr.. Olcott said thai the President
had complimented the campaign work
now being done by Governor Hughes,
and had said that he was one of the
best speakers in the Republican party
Mr.. OlCOtt was uncOmmunlCatlNc
when asked to comment upon the re
ported dissatisfaction existing in some
quarters as to the management Of the
campaign by Chairman Hitchcock. he
said he had been about campaign head
quarters occasionally, and that so lar
as he observed things were running
EmOthly, nd that MI. Hitchcock had
an unlimited capacity for work. He had
no criticism to offer, he said.
The President was informed by Rep
IesentaJive Calder and Michael j. Dady.
OF Brooklyn. who also called during tire
morning, that Hughes and Taft would
carry New York beyond a doubt. Kings

geraniums, as well as nasturtiums or
sweetpeas, IL there are string supports
for their tendrils. The camella is the
August flower, and chrysanthemums must
be relied upon for September.
Boundary wall flower gardens would
best be raised In foot-deep wooden boxes
three by two feet in diameter, preferably
painted shamrock green, as that tint ac-
cords well with foliage hues and does
not fade from the effects of the sun
and rain. The bottoms of the boxes
should be perforated in order to dis
charge superiuouN moisture, and, of
course the plants must be tended regu-
larly and any wilted leaves or blossoms
cut Off.
Every city denizen may not have wall
to beautify 1t, but all may lay claim
to at least one window ledge upon which
to set the miniature garden. Such boxes
should be long and narrow, but not
too shallow. The wisest plan is to have
a carpenter make them from measure
ments suited TO the window. and so ar
ranged that they will project slightly over
the housewall.
Small boxes for the window garden are
planted with ANNALS, and among the
best flowers for this purpose is the stock

fragrance of violets and win bloom for

and blues, but for spring nothing Is
better and more hardy than the hyacinth,
with tnts similar to those of the aster.
Pansies are pretty for June, and mig
nonette is one of the most satisfactory
of all the early season blooms, although
Its tints are far from vivid.
Maidenhair and dogsear ferns are ex-
cellent box filters, but these should be
used only when the window is shaded,
as they wilt speedily beneath the SUMS
caressing rays. If 1t is not convenient
to keep ferns shaded or to refill the win
dow garden at brief intervals, the cheap
est and easiest way is to have 1t filed
with foliage plants which will endure
through the season, and even during the
hottest weather will look reasonably
healthy. But by far the safest method
of procedure when arranging for wall
garden of this character is to consult
local florist, who will be familiar, pre-
sumably, with the climatic effects upon
out-of-door flowers and able to advise the
proper plants for each month.
The outside of the window garden is
quite as important a consideration as Is
the hlling, for unless the arrangement
be a slightly one the landlord viii be
liable to file his objections to it. One
of the best methods of concealing the
rough front and sides of the box is to
cover 1t with pine bark similar to that
used to decorate Adirondack lodge
porches and furnishings. Dark, oiled
cloths which shed the rain are sometimes
used with good effect, and there are
many ornamental tin castings which, how
ever, must he periodically repainted to

ceedingly ornamental considerable gilt

Our window-gardeD treatment, which
has been greatly admired, consists wholly
of geranlums set in similarly hued boxes
against a gray stone wall. This lends a
strikingly vivid effect TO the house and
brings out the best points of Its archi-
lecture, many of which would have been
overlooked had the boxes been of duh

frames. On another house of the old

Diversity of Tucks.
Nuns tucks are a fayorite treatment for
the skirt portion of the demi-trained one
piece models. Usually from four to six
tucks are employed, according to the
height of the wearer, the lower one run
about six inches above the broad hem, and
the uppermost between the knees and the
waistline. Sometimes a group of narrow
tucks forms a border between the hem
and the first broad tuck, and occasionally
rows OF pin cordings are set between them,
but the simpler method Is far and away
the more effective. Pin tucks usually
shape the princesse gowns at the belt
line, thus forming the panel effect from
waist to knees In one stunning little

slashed under-arm seams are joined TO-

similar bow joins the fronts at the busts
