The immense quantity Of false hair
required for producing an up to- date
couture leaves no room for any addi-
tional adornment, so that the puffs,
curls, braids and knots may be desig-
mated as the garnitures instead of the
ribbons, combs pins, etc, that are
usually considered the legitimate hair
ornamentation. The only accessory
that is at all pronounced is the ba-
rette. and the variety of these is le-

GARDENER MUST
GUARD SEEDLINGS
FROM SUNS RAYS
Only With Great Care Ca,t New
Crop of Pcrennials Be
Saytd.

For the next four weeks the sun
WIFI be the greatest enemy to be COM
bated IL a new crop of perennials Ia
to be saved. Yet this is the season
when seeds Of many kinds should be
put in that they may make a growth
before frost. The object of this Is that.
If they are sufficiently protected not
to be winter killed. perennials will
bloom next year, thereby saving a
season.
The most inexperienced gardener
has only TO consult catalogues now
to know what she may SOW to make
her place bloom next summer. but it
takes little experience to know how
best TO protect the seeds go that they
will develop properly. They require
moisture to terminate and protection
from sun.
These two requisites are met with by
covering the grounds or seed beds with
boards. The seed is lightly sown and
the soil hrmed down by patting with
the hands. 1t is a mistake to do this
so gently that the seeds are not sur-
rounded by soil, for then they have
no opportunity of growing. Neither
are they to be dug In too deep, or
the soil made 20 hard that delicate
tendrils cannot break through
general rule for planting is to put
seeds double their depth, and to pat
the soil firmly. but not hard. Az soon
as this Is done the ground is to be wet
with the rose sprinkler or a water
ing pot, and then boards are put down
over.
termination may take anywhere
from one week to ten days, or two or
even three Meeks--DurtHs- that time
the soil is to be kept damp, but not
wet. and this Is not difficult If very
fine spray Is used. 1T will probably
not be necessary to wet the soil every
day. but the boards may be raised at
any time to see what is the condition,
and as soon as spraying is done the
boards are returned. This Is repeated
uEtil the first leaves break through
the surface. After that boards would
be fatal.
Nevertheless, the seedlings need
shade, though they must have light
