at the end OF the garden are also archL
tectural necessities, since the ter
race ends here.
The proximity OF the garden to the
house has made It necessary FOR tho
architect TO treat IT as continuation
of the dwelling. so the lattices for the
vines against the wall, the arbor, the
benches, all these carry out the color
scheme OF the house. On the top
OF the upper terrace is the kitchen
garden.
Here the architectural treatment 10
of wholly different kind from that
demanded In the rocco garden There
are no straight paths. no egergreens
cut into the form OF chickens or less
easily identified animals. The only
solution OF the problem OF a garden
perched on the side of steep hill was
through Its architectural design.
Such garden bears almost as close
a relation to architecture us the house
itself. II Is the skill Of the gardener
| combined with that OF the architect
that brought about 80 interesting a
detail as the foundation and pool
standing under the silver poplar tree,
II is improbable that design with
it's details 30 closely related as are
the details of this house and garden
should be the work OF more than one
hand. The situation is different In the
case OF the average country house, and
the New York architect who puts up
country house does no more than
settle on the general plan of the
garden--what position II Is 10 hold
In relation to the house. what Its size
should be and something about Its
general character, Even his decision
on these points Is likely to be In the
nature of a suggestion. for the land
scape gardener is the final authority
Some New York architects have
certain gardeners who do all thei
work and cooperate with them Oh
plans. Yet in this case the architec
assumes no responsibility for tn
work, allowing the practicG! gardene
to have all the credit as well as tn
blame in case the owner Is not pleased

IN Butte, Mont, they love money
/ well, but they love love better.
q Miss Montana Largely was born
in Butte. Her father was an associ-
ate of Senator Clark in the early days
of the big copper camp. He became
one of TIE financial kings of the north
west, and his daughter, named AFTER
her native state, was beauty and
social favorite in Butte.
During her school days Miss Mon
tana gave her heart to Ray MacDon'
aid. a young Scotchman from Canada
Ray was poor. but that did not make
any difference to Montana, She loved
him.
When her father was killed In his
bank Miss Largely was sent east TO be
educated. Her mother hoped and be-
lieved that she would outgrow the girl
ish attachment for the poor boy. AT
school in the big eastern college the
Butte girl was as popular socially as
any other rich and winsome girl. She
had many admirers and would-be low
ers. Some of these were rich and
famous, but they could not touch her
heart. Always she remembered the
youth back In Butte who was c'erking
in a cab office at $50 month.
This summer, when she went back
| TO Montana, her fathers estate was
divided, and Miss Largely received as
her share just s27 less than million

two she had more than million. She
was one of the richest 19-year-old girls
In the west.

HOUSE AND GARDEN
ARC PROBLEM AS
SOLVED IN GERMANY.
A House That Was Built on HILLSIDE
and a Garden Laid Out to Match
It, with Similar Details
In Both.

New York City.-Whether the archi.
lect or the landscape gardener should
supply the plans for the garden OF the
new house is one OF the questions
raised during the recent revival OF IN
terest in gardens. Az rule, the
formal rocco gardens are much less in
teresting to the average owner OF
country estate than the less formal
kind, since they are out OF place eN'
cept In connection with elaborate
houses.
Even the smallest garden OF the reg
ular rocco style requires also a house
of some architectural pretensions be-
longing to the same period as the gar
den. Illustrations of the incongru.
ity arising from failure to OBJ
serve this rule are seen in many coun'
try houses to which the owners with
more recklessness than taste have add
cd formal rose gardens. When these
houses are plain white colonial struc'
lures the incongrulty is particularly
disturbing.
When the garden Ia far away from
the house the case is different. 1t is
when the garden is regarded as part

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
hined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world mas ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailmant, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and heros of the
field Lydia T.. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and efiica-
cious than any combination otdrugs.
lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for Woman's Ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 5l5 NC. St,
Louisiana, Mo, writes:
Complete restoration 10 heulIh
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women Am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer
ing with the worst forms OF female Ills:
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times 1
could hardly walk. About two years
AGO wrote Mrs. Pinkhnm for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold 70 suffering
women"
What Lydia +. Pinkham's Eege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
