1emporary Park PLANTING,

1t is often advisable in park plant
ing to set out secondary set Of trees
for immediate effect, these to be cut
out later For this purpose nothing
surpasses the eucalyptus, for if well
watered the first year the trees will
provide for the second summer shade
sufficient for picnics and like gather
ings. In the third year they have
formed a young forest, providing shell
ter sufficient for any purpose, besides
giving a decided park-like effect to the
tract Not later than the fifth year
they should in part be removed. and,
this policy continued with. by the
tenth year not one should be left. If
the fundamental planting has been
skillfully done a single decade Of
growth should give some good shade
and permanent landscape effects.

Natalie Of the
Neighborhood

Copyrighted, 1908. by Associated
Literary Press.

Neighborhood House was Natalie's
charity by Inheritance. Her mother
had founded it and had met the def
ciencies in it's exchequer from time to
time. Natalie was not sentimental, but
her mothers pathetic anxiety about
Neighborhood House during her last
illness had touched the girl, whose life
had been devoted to the pursuit OF
pleasure.
Why Natalie should turn to the
NeighborhOod House in her hour Of
hurt pride only Providence could e1-
plain. To her the working girls toward
whose comfort, education and pleasure
her checks had contributed might as
we'll have been in Persia or China, so
little did she know them In a vague
sort of way she thought of them as
moles who came out Of their holes at
night and blinkingly, even DULY, en-
joyed such pleasure as women Of her
kind provided for them.
So when she came upon Maggie Con-
molly face downward in the pillow of
a coy corner on that hot June Satur-
Gay. when all the rest Of the Neighbour
hood girls had gone picnicking, she
stood looking down upon the fearful
one with strange. brooding eyes.

across a dark landscape, she saw the

She wanted Tom, the other tall,

Novel Tree Preservation.

A subterranean tree may be seen in
front of the Elmhurst grounds in
Kansas City. 1t is giant elm that
grew in the primeval forest before
Kansas City arrived. When the street
was graded and a fill of six or eight
feet made on the adjoining property
it was decided to save this fine old
forest tree. Therefore an areaway Of
brick was built around it and an iron
grating inserted at the top. So the old
tree still stands at its former level, but
