INFLUENCE Of WOMEN
What They Can Do Along Civic
Improvement Lines.
SAMPLES OF EFFECTIVE WORK
Cleaning Up School Yards and Gene
teries-Seeing That Streams Are Not
Misunderstanding Children Value
of Public and Private Property.

There may lie country societies for
civic Improvement, but | have never
heard of one. However. | do know
of much effective work done by ladies
to improve surroundings in their com
munities without organized effort, and
every year the wor. is increasing. In
many cases the men claim all the
credit. but the real work was done by
their wives and sisters and daughters.
The pioneers in agtating reform are
just as much workers as the ones who
do the actual work, ard in every com
munity that is wide awake the ladies
have a large share in bringing about
the changed conditions, In one place
where campers or travelling thieves
took possession Of the SchoolhouSc and
tore down the fence to rcplcnlsh their
campfire the men were indignant, but
1t took Il woman to telephone to the
authorities every time that set of
campers arrived and have them or
dercd away. Every man in the neigh
bOrhOud had given toll of corn and
chickens and other property without
taking action. but once the idea of
driving away the intrudcrS became
popular the men boasted Of what they
had accomplished.
In another ncighborhOod the GENE
terry was the disgrace of the com
munity, being ovprrun with weeds and
bricrS and wild grass. The ladies
proposed giving Il dinner to all who
would lend n hand in grubblng out
the wild shrubhcry and weeds, and in
one day such n decided Improvement
was made by sturdy hands that it has
never fallen into decay since. OF
course the men did the work of clear
ing out the place and have since kept
1t clean, but the ladies deserve the
real credit. Another case was that of
obscene writing and pictures on walls
and outbuildingS of n country school
house. The ladies had the objection

that all offenders would he punished

an example of the worst offenders

A young man from town was pre-

When She Laughed.

A somewhat self satisfied, valnglori-
GUS and grumpy English actor com
planned that the noted actress Ellen
Terry continually laughed in one Of
his most important scenes. He had
not the courage to tell her his objec-
tions, so he wrote her letter of heart
broken complaint, In which he said:
81 am extremely sorry to tell you that
1t is impossible for me to make any
effect In such and such scene If you
persist In laughing at me on the stage
and so spelling the situation. May |
ask you to change your attitude, as the
scene is n most trying one?"
Miss Terry's answer was very direct
and to the point, for she wrote: You
are quite mistaken. l never laugh at
you on the stage. wait till l get
home"

Labeled.

A few years ago Miss Ethel Barry
more, the actress, was bcseigcd by Il
number of artists who begged the
privilege of making sketches of her
pretty face. Too gracious to refuse
she freely granted permission in every
case. Among those for whom Miss
Barrymore posed was a young artist
of the impressionist school, who, after
considerable labor. produced CHASTITY
yellow and green portrait which was
supposed by the budding artist. at
least to be a likeness of the actress.
When it was finished the painter
bravcly took it to Miss Barrymore and
asked her to sign 1t and write some
thing or othcr-some little sentiment
above her signature.
Miss Barrymore gasped as she looked
at the wretchcd portrait and then
quickly pulling herself together, smiled
and wrote:
This is not a sunset 1t is Ethel

Why Street Trees Die.

Street trees suffer more from lack OF
air than from any other cause. On
one side is cement walk and on the
other graveled. oiled or paved street.
The trees usually die from an INSULT
cient application Of water, for if plen-
ty were given the tree the soil would
be fairly aerated. When water enters
the soil the air is driven out. and as
the water recedes fresh air takes its
place, so that frequent waterings will
result in frequent airings Another
cause of poor growth in street trees is
lack Of food. The space about the tree
is limited, and seldom Is fertilizer
given or the minimum Of soil stirred.
Trees are unable to absorb mineral
fertilizers except they are taken up
by the roots in solution of soil wa
ter Many fertilizers now in the soil
may be slowly unlocked" by frequent
cultivation. Applications Of other fer
tilizers often hasten the same process.
Keeping thrifty street trees by feed
ing them through the scant area usu
ally allowed in parkways may be
likened to keeping human being in
robust health by feeding him through
straw. Cultivate and irrigate street
trees thoroughly and fertilize little.

IMPROVING HOME GROUNDS.
How to Make Thorn Attractive All the
Year Round.

How to Make Thorn Attractive All the
Year Round.
The trees, shrubs and herbaceous
perennials which should surround the
homes Of the average class Of Ameri.
cans are of especial interest to the ma
jority of people. These should be Sc
lected with the greatest care, and they
should represent the finest taste pos
sible. The number need not neces.
not be too varied or the effect will
be too striking and not in good taste.
One must take into consideration the
species best suited for spring. summer.
fall and winter effects. Too frequent
ly the winter effects are not carefully
considered, and much Of the charm Of
planting is lost. The varied green of
the coniferous trees, and especially the
delicate effect produced when the ever
green's of more delicate foliage, like
the hemlocks and chamaecyparis, are
covered with snow, is very pleasing.
The variation Of color in winter Of the
bark of many Of the deciduous trees
and shrubs should also be carefully
studied in selecting the planting list.
Few If any of the shrubs equal the diff
ferent varieties Of cornus and salix
for these winter effects. The flowers
Of spring and summer the fruits of
summer, fall and winter and the colors
Of bark and twigs in winter should
keep our homes bright and attractive
throughout the year.
Perhaps the home Is rented and the
owner does not care to pay out much
for improvements Of this nature. 1t
is interesting to note the attractive
ness one may add to home Of this
kind with small expense. Vines of
rapid annual growth, like the coboeas
or morning glories. may be cheaply
grown, and these will quickly COW
err unsightly objects or serve as a
screen for the piazza or veranda. The
castor bean plants will give subtrop-
ical effects with comparatively little
expense, and geraniums, petunias. YER
benas or cannas may serve to brighten
and make CHEEKY the home grounds.
