Buttons That Last.

Use white lace buttons on thin
dresses and blouses. The eyes cannot
break, there are no shanks to pull out
and, above everything else. they can
not be wrung off in the clothes

thing that perplexes the average
housewife, who must always replace
buttons after the return of the weeks
washing. These buttons are not new
on the market by any means. but they
are not as universally used as they

The man holding the important
office of attorney general in Prdsi-

Wickersham, was stranger to the
American public until the aR-
nouncement of his selection
brought him to notice. al
Up to this time he was known BY
those who knew him at all as the

a slight variation he applies the
principle in this case. SO that 1t
would read. "Set corporation law

THE FLOWER GARDEN
NO. 1-PLANNlNo THE GARDEN.

Don't plant more than you are sure
you can take care of all season.
With this point in view, it may
be found profitable to draw a rough
plan Of your garden on paper.
Mark the location of walks, trees,
shrubbery, unsightly fences or
buildings. Next decide how to
make the latter lend themselves to
the display of vines and tall plants
in a manner to form a harmonious
setting to your garden.
Carefully read the description
and cultural directions that the
seed catalog gives and pick out the
vines and tall plants you will want
for each place marked. Select
those that will grow quickly this
year. You can also plan for per-
manent vines and plants by grow
ing perennials or biennials be-
tween those YOU have selected.

The planning of flower garden
should be done before the ground

houses, decide what you will need
and place your order so that the
seeds can be put in on time. Many
Of the desirable varieties succeed
