jewel receptacle, can one imagine any
thing datntier than glass dish which
has lid and is supplied with a rose
colored cushion on which to lay any
brooches in use, chains, pendants and
the like? Glass candlesticks are nice
with rose-colored candles and shades
the latter covered with lace.
Quite the newest idea is to paint a
piece of glass for washstand or toilet
on the under side with blue, pink. sill
yer oxidized paint-what you will. The
color shows through very prettily.
A small coterie of women in society
following the example of a fashionable
painter, are having black glass doors
to wardrobes and the like; but the
black glass is transparent, such as is
used for spectacles.
The highest polish is always kept on
the black glass. Even black looking
glasses are the vogue. The effect OF
black, glass over the quicksilver is very
curious.
Certain it is that colored dresses
jewels and ornaments in the room are
reflected in a surprising way.

and cocoanut to celebrate the festal
games of almost every nation, for In
the school rooms of Hawaii the chill
dren of the whole world meet.

Nearly all the nations have a day
set apart for a childrens festival
While this is not true of the United
States there are many local occasions
when the children reign supreme, such
as the baby parade at Asbury Park,
N. j. In Japan there are two great
days for the children, one being the
boys birthday celebration and the
other is similar affair for girls. At
Nice, France, there is carnival set
apart for the children when the whole
town gives itself to festivity. Italy
has a springtime festival Of flowers.

A PRETTY COLOR EFFECT

A chance mixture of lavender and
pink sweet peas in my garden year
or so ago made me so enthusiastic
over the color combination that l re-
solved to devote most of my energy
the next year toward having pink
and lavender garden. The prepara-
tIons necessarily began then, in May,
for 1 intended that perennials should
have large share in the result, writes
Leila b. Boynton in the Garden Mag
azine. During all the summer months
l was busy sowing and transplanting
first aquilegias, then hardy asters,
Canterbury bells and pinks. In the
fall hyacinths and Spanish iris were
set out and the sweet peas planted Tor
fall growth. 1 was fortunate enough
to have received as a gift some light
blue-almost Acknowledgement iris,
and had already planted in my garden
quantities of the pink and lavender
ivy geranium.
My garden bloom began in Febru-
ary, and continued to October, mix
ture of bulb blossoms, ANIMALS and
perennials, varying from light pink to
rose and from lavender to blue. The
German iris was the first to bloom
during February, and, since had
taken special care with the roots in
transplanting, gave a mass of gorgeous
color. At the upper end of the garden,
at about the same time, blossomed my
hyacinths. Some of them were disap-
pointing but in general they well re-
paid their planting. In April the pink
and lavender sweet peas began to
bloom and continued through two
months without ceasing. In May there
were pinks in the border some of the
beautiful new hybrid aquilegias, and
in the corners and in all vacant spaces
the lavender centaureas. Though my
Canterbury bells were really too blue
for this garden they were quite pretty
in themselves.
A little later, against the back
ground Of Ivy geranium, pink poppies
rioted all down the border. July
brought my first planting of gladioius
In both the chosen colors, and with
them camellia-flowered balsams. The
latter 1 had potted at first until l
could choose the shades and then
transferred into the border. With my
asters, the next blooms to appear, l
had marvellous success. Hours of time
were devoted to them before they
reached perfection, but the results
were worth all labor By the choice of
early and late blooming varieties they
were present in the garden for two
months. In September were the early
pink cosmos and the hardy asters, and
then last of all, in October, Lady Len
nox, the finest cosmos grown, reach
ing, when unrestricted, ten or twelve
feet of height.
With but little expense and not an
inordinate amount of labor my pink
and lavender garden bloomed for me

NEW BUNGALOW BOOK

Facts, nothing but facts, is the key
note of the 1911 edition of Ye Planry
Bungalow book, but the facts are told
in an interesting, convincing way, with
plenty of illustrations.
In the first eighteen or twenty pages
the bungalow is considered In all its
forms, each type being taken up in de-
tail, and the arrangement material and
construction fully described. Photo
graphic reproductions of all the special
features-buffets, mantels, wainscot-
ings, cabinets, sleeping porches-give
the reader thorough conception OF the
modern house, no longer the modest
California bungalow, but the American
home of today, for such has 1t become:
The remainder of the book Is devoted
to the exposition of over 100 homes OF
every size, each with the actual cost,
floor plan, exterior view and coplous
notes on the materials and finish, IN
side and out, showing exactly what the
prospective home builder may expect
for a home of any given cost.
The book is the largest on the mar
ket, containing over 1870 pages. IL is
printed on excellent paper, with an
attractive cover, and beautifully as
sembled and illustrated.

CoPENHAGEN'S FRESH FISH

When a person buys fresh fish in
Copenhagen he really gets 1T. More
than that, he gets uncontaminated
! fish. The sewers used TO empty into
the sea at the nearest convenient
points. Now the sewage Is collected
into a main trunk line and carried two
lsilometers out to sea before 1t Is re-
leased.
Thus there Is no longer any contain
ination of the harbor or the sea front.
This not only puts an end to the NUS
ances that used to arise. says the Ian
Get, but enables boats full of live hsh 10
/ come close to shore and right into the
town by means of the salt water canals.
In this manner at least the smaller
] fish are kept alive until the moment
they are sold. Any number or wooden
boats are pierced with holes and filled
with fish; these boats just float on the
surface of the water, and the living fish
| Is taken out of them when wanted.
But as every one cannot go to the
waters edge to buy fish there are
water tanks on wheels, and the live nsh
are brought to the doors of the peoples
houses. The principal fish market was
built by the municipality and Is let to
wholesale fish salesman.
| 1t is a delight to see how clean and
| bright these premises are kept Inere
is no spreading the fish on slabs so
| that dust and dirt may settle on them.
Very pretty tessellated tile tanks are
filled with running water, and here the
smaller fish swim about. The larger
| fish, such as cod or halibut, are too
cumbersome to keep alive, and are
therefore placed In the cold storage
| rooms.
Not only are the fish fresh, but they
are generally very well, sometimes even
artistically, cooked. AT Copenhagen
the domestic servants trade union has
instituted a school where members OF
the union are taught how to be clean
and neat, how to sew, to wash ana
starch, and above all how to cook. A
little restaurant is attached to this
school, where anyone can have cheap
meal, thus giving the pupils an oppor-
tunity of exercising their art.
| The trade union, while insisting that
| a good servant shall earn from 70 TO 80
| kroner Ga krone equals Is 2d) a month
and pay half krone subscription TO
| her union, does at the same time en-
deayor to render her fully competent
| to accomplish her work. Also by pro-
yiding sleeping accommodations 1t helps
to prevent servant girls falling into bad
company or suffering undue hardshlps
! when out of employment.
In the same way there is an old
frigate moored In a canal close to the
most fashionable center of the town.
Here there is a school for ships cooks.

CALIFORNIA RAISINS

Within recent years the trade in
raisins has developed to large propor-
tions in California, and the growers
attribute their success very largely to
the fact that they pack their product
under vigorously clean conditions.
Raisins of foreign growth, particularly
those imported from Greece, are motor
iously dirty, as are also other fruits,
such as dates and figs, says the
Youths Companion. II examined
closely before using, these imported
products would seldom pass muster
with the careful housekeeper. This
one thing has made the California
fruits great favorites, as they are also
equal, or even better, in quality than
most of the foreign products.

FERTILlZlNG THE GARDEN
How does your garden grow?

How does your garden grow?
The chances are that you will an
swer this question by saying your gar
den grows as we'll as your neighbors.
The chances are equally good that
neither you nor your neighbor makes
your gardens grow as well as you
might.
The truth is that the average farm
garden is given only about one-fourth
as much fertilizer as the crops would
put to good use.
This may seem like strong talk, but
it is true The city market gardener
uses fertilizer in way that would
| make a farmer anticipate bankruptcy
in the immediate future, yet city mar
ket gardeners are not the kind OF
people who waste money.
The quantity of fertilizer which
would be enough and to spare on an
average farm crop Is just good be-
ginning for a truck patch.
For many generations our garden
crops have been grown on soil which
has been largely made up of manure
and other fertilizers, and they have
acquired appetites such as ordinary
| farm crops never have.
They are every one gross feeders
and the more we feed them the more
tender and larger the plants grow.
If manure which has been rotted by
composing or lying in the barnyard
| is scattered over the surface OF the
| garden between the plants and hoed
| in as the crops are cultivated, 1t Will
become Immediately available, as the
rootlets of the plant will begin to feed
| on it as soon as it becomes damp, and
they will make wonderful progress
in growth If they have plenty Of this
| kind of Iced.
Have a bag of complete commercial
fertilizer where you can get at It
'handily and keep scattering little or
1t among the garden plants all sum-
mer.
| A tablespoonful worked around a
! hill of Strawberries or around a rasp-
berry, currant or gooseberry bush Will
| cause the plants to grow amazingly
and bring them to perfection so they
will be ready to produce heavy crops
! next year.
onions. radishes, beets and all the
vine producing crops respond at once
| to these little feeds of fertilizer There
| is not much danger Of getting too
| much or Lne eleiHeIiIS iAto eiiO ooA a.
| 1t Is put on a little at a time.
| It is impossible to use too much
stable manure which has been rotted.
| but one can get too much of some or
| the commercial fertilizers around
| plant at one time.
The best way to use any fertilizer is
to scatter 1t on the surface and I'M
mediately work it into tn esoil.
The rains will wash the fertilizing
elements down into the soil, where
the roots can get at them.
If YOU do not believe in midseason
fertillzing just try fertilizing q few
rows, leaving the remainder as check
rows, in order to note the difference.
Tf the season is not very dry one
you will find that feeding fertilizers
to the garden is very profitable.
Keep some kind of crop growing in
the garden the entire year. If nothing
else is done. SOW wheat, rye or a vetch
on the vacant places to keep weeds
from springing up and maturing seed.
weeds ripen in very short time If
| they are allowed.
