+ a girl finds that she is apt to have
a severe headache after a long automo-
bile ride the chances are ten to one
that the trouble is with her eyes. She
probably is more near sighted than she
realizes and the strain of trying to see
every object on the horizon through the
glass of her goggles is IA greater tax on
her optic nerves than she knows: inns
girl should at once consult an oculist and
have written out for her prescription fol-
eyeglasses to be- fitted ia her motor Cog
giles The relief will be instantaneous.
Practically every one has some slight
eye defect not necessarily so serious as
to make obligatory the wearing of glasses
continually but when automobile glasses
are worn the extra strain of seeing
through even the plain glass is almost
sure TO acccutuate any previous trouble.
Even slight astigmatism will be kept in
check by use of regular prescription
glasses in the goggles, while for a girl
troubled with short sight the pleasure of
her motor trips will be doubled The
glasses will act as opera glasses and will
enable her TO see just so much more of
the world about her.

Whether the garden itself has hedge
around it or not, each separate bed must
have its border of low growing plants
Box is generally considered the best Dor
der of all, but here we come again to the
question of expense, for box is now very
scarce and costly; but if the girl who is
planning her gardeR need not consider
the cost nothing is more charming than
to settle the question of borders by hay
ing the whole thing of box.

plants in a garden that it would be inn
possible to say that any one way is best.
About the only actual principle of ar
rangement is to put the tall plants be-
hind the low ones. This can be done by
putting the high ones in the middle of
the beds and have them graduated in size
out to the edge. Or, if the garden is
enclosed by shrubbery or a hedge, the
tall plants will look well placed against
the hedge, with the lower ones in front.

crete This border of bricks rises a little
above the path. The next step in making
our garden is to dig up the earth in the
beds, that is, loosen it thoroughly and
turn it well over. Manure it thoroughly
also, and then we may say that the me-
chanical work is done and everything is
prepared for the flowers, which are, of
course, the really interesting part of the
work.
There are so many ways of arranging

| If this costs too much, or if she prefers
flowers to the plain green, there are sew
eral very low plants that make beautiful
borders. Sweet alyssum is one of the
best. Its fine lace-like white flowers
give a good effect with any kind of
flowers and if it is cut back often it
i will bloom all summer. Oher good plants
for borders are ageratum, lobelia, Glove
pinks. candytuft and summer oxalias; the
latter has either white, pink or lavender
flowers and a beautiful clover-like leaf.
1t grows from bulb. Where the flower
borders are used it will be best to
vary them according to what colored
plants are to be put in the beds. A white
border can be used on the whole garden,
but some of the colored ones would surely
clash occasionally with what they en-
closed if only one color was used.
T there is a centre bed it generally
looks we'll to fill or nearly fill it with
high growing plants. Some of the most
effective are holyhocks, larkspur, lilies,
yucca, japanese iris and summer hya-
cinth Or the centre bed can be gipen up
entirely to roses Rose bushes, in whatever
part of the garden they may be placed,
must have bed to themselves. All kinds
of roses may be in the same bed, how
ever, and in arranging them the best
plan to follow is to put the tea roses in
front. for the latter keep on blooming
| all simmer when other varieties have
stopped, and a rose bush not in bloom
is not especially ornamental.
Another flower which requires special
place to itself is the sweet pea. Sweet
pea vines must be planted in straight
rows where they will get the full sunlight.
Plenty of fertilizer must be put in the
ground before planting them, and when
the flowers begin they must be picked
every day to keep the plants blooming.

IN the beginning, to make the paths,
the earth should be dug out about a foot
or a foot and a half deep, the excavation
running to a point in the centre, This
space should be filled in with stones or
rough ashes and if some lime is used it
will help to prevent worms. The best
results are obtained by putting rather
large stones at the bottom, somewhat
smaller ones next and ashes or gravel
near the top. When we come to the sur

Walks Centring at a Sun
Dial.

- HE girl who has never had
garden of her own has no idea
what she is missing. The pleas
ure to be found in managing your
own garden is a very great one
and grows rapidly with increased
knowledge on all subjects relating 10
flowers and their care. Many owners of
gardens really enjoy doing all the work
themselves if the garden is not a large
one. But even when a gardener is kept
who does all the hard work the owner
will have much greater enjoyment i'll her
flowers if she superntends it all herself
and decides on what plants she will have
and how she will have them arranged.
Individual taste counts for a very great
deal in flowers, and there is such enor-
nous variety of taste and of ways of
planning gardens that the same garden,
managed by the same girl can be quite
different in different years, and that in
spite of the fact that many plants are, Of
course, perennial and, once started last
for many years.
The girl who has a country home, or
VINO lives outside OF the city ana mas not
yet started a garden had better begin at
once. The very first thing to do, after
settling where the garden is to be placed,
is to plan its shape that is, how it isl
to be laid out The beds should be rect
angular, with their corners, where theI
paths go around them, little curved.
A round centre bed may be used if the
owner likes that shape, but really fancy
or fantastic forms are always a mistake;
their effect is most unsatisfactory and,
even if one thinks she likes them at first,
she will surely be tired of them very soon
and wish she had kept to palmer shapes.
When the general outline of the garden
has been planned, the next question toI
take up is the paths They should be-
three feet wide and slightly arched in
the middle, about one inch higher there
than Mt the sides This allows water to
run away easily and prevents its settling;
and a wet or damp path makes most uu-

SELF CONSCIOUSNESS
Virginia Wyatt Suggests to Young
Girls a Cure For This Failing.

Girls a Cure For This Failing.
We hear a great deal nowadays
about self consciousness in young
girls, and pages of warning against be-
ing self conceited are printed in the
newspapers and magazines. Most OF
this advice is excellent, and those to
whom it is serviceable should abide by
1t.
There is a species of self conscious
ness. however, which requires alto
gether different treatment. 1t is caused
by shyness instead of self conceit and
frequently results in great unhappiness
for it's victim. 1t is indeed misery to
be conscious of embarrassment. No
one better realizes the truth of this
than she who is afflicted, but she does
not know how to rid herself OF the
burden. Too often she falls to wage
n form of successful combat. Be-
cause she is shy she shuns every per-
son with whom she Is not familiar and
every place In which she is likely to
betray her weakness. In time she be-
comes ~hopelessly submerged by her
unfortunate self consciousness.
Very naturally the only cure for such
a condition Is self forgetfulness, which
is easy enough to prescribe, but not SO
easy to follow. The only way to ban
ish yourself from your own thoughts
is to fill them with somebody or some
thing else. One young woman Of my
acquaintance cured herself of her
dread Of meeting strangers by the fol
lowing original method: First she Sc
lected from among her friends the one
whose self consciousness was as trou-
blesome as her own. Without making
a confidant of any one she Their pro-
ceeded In the attempt to cure her
friend of her distressing af1iction. This
she did by deyoting all her energies
to the entertainment of her subject
whenever they appeared together in
public, coming to the instant rescue In
any situation likely to prove embar-
RAISING to her. She found that while
she was engaged in this novel enter
prise her own shyness took wings and
left her capable and self reliant. She
did not succeed in curing her friend,
but in making the attempt she effected
a perfect cure of herself.
Then there Is the girl who underval-
ues herself. Perhaps. she is in the
hopeless minority, but she actually ex-
lists even In America, whose young wo-
men have the reputation abroad Of be-
ing fully cognizant of their self
suficiency. She is the girl who dis
trusts herself and her capacity, who
has made herself believe that she
lacks the necessary equipment to hold
her own among those by whom she is
surrounded. 1t is a ~distressful condi-
ton, and it renders its victim prae-
tically helpless.
Now, one does not care to urge on
any one the advantage of being either
