He Decides That All Fat Women
Should Be Made Into Soap.

bondage as when the rain ratified against
the easements OF his apartment and the
wind whistled for assistance from the
bullying sky.
Humming merry tune, he opened the
door Of his abode and strobe boldly into
the living room
oh what a sight for gods and men was
there! The room was stripped of its furni-
ture and the floor had strange carpet
ing of white linen, which the Boss dis
covered later was composed OF sheets over
I'm one corner a lady in bedraggled dark
blue bathing suit was lying prone, but
struggling to turn over as laboriousy and
fLtilely as the wheels of a Broadway car
on creased rails ...-"
And the Boss knew that he had not
laughed so long and heartily in twenty
years.
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean,
roll!' he quoted from his skinny classics
as soon as he could speak
But the dark blue ocean" had scrambled
suddenly to its feet and run from the room
When she emerged she was draped in the
most voluminous of the Boss bathrobes.
Funny. isn't it?' sneered the lad!
lawfully funny! I'm trying to look like
pagoda person since you say you don't ike
them. And now you come home and laugh
at me! What did you marry me for II you
don't like fat peope2"
She forgot that at the time OF thea cere-
mony she weighed 1906 pounds
II don't care how fat | am and I
wouldn't try to roll over that floor again

do it-you're too stout"
well, I'll just show you
And suro enough. the conjugal jeer &C
complished IN half minute what the
ladys efforts had failed TO bring about all

She did roll over, bathrobe and all, but
IL was not n romantic spectacle.
Say" said the Boss, hurriedly, don't
roll any more. You don't need to. / was
only kidding you about your weight Please

Gardeners Must Keep Soil Soft to Make Plants Flourish

that roots strike down, and the way must
be prepared for them. For from four to
six inches is none too deep to turn the dirt
over, pounding or crushing 1t, at the same
time TO render 1t soft.
Working is never to be done when the
soil is wet; that is, after a heavy rain, for
II will only be turned over in Jumps, and
dry that way, with an extra hardness be-
cause the sun will bake It. The dryer the
dirt the better will It work, but, OF course
no careful gardener allows her land to be-
come too powder like. II rain does not
come to prevent this condition hose must
be used, but she must beware Of watering
too freely. The moisture must go on IN
fine spray and slowly. Better continuous
spray for five minutes than heavy sous
ing for two. The latter will make the SOIL
settle hard. and do more harm than good
The test Of gardening Is whether or not
one Is willing to work with It, and the
true lover OF a garden regards the fatigue
as half It's pleasure. For IT Is only by
getting right down 20 the soil, literally,
that good results will be obtained. and a

Work, work again, and keep on work
ing" is the advice OF an expert gardener
For plants and shrubs Will flourish as under
no other conditions II the soil Is worked
fine. II it is hard and lumpy, tender roots
cannot strike out and make growth and
the tops will be weak. The same is true
OF vegetables. The loan is always to be
kept fine, which means soft, for once It
is packed successful results are impossi-
BILE
Before planting any seeds the soil should
be reduced to powder. The finer the seeds
the more apt they are to be discouraged by
any impeachment and the less likely TO de-
velop. Nasturtlums, whose seed are large,
are naturally sturdier and stronger than
petunias, for example, but even the former
will do better when soil conditions are
congenial.
Therefore It is necessary before planting
to work more than the surface mex
perienced or lazy gardeners scratch the
cop a little with rake or hoe and think the
preparation finished,

The Boss Of the Establishment
BY AMERE MAN.

II see," said the Boss of the Establish
ment, that a Chinese prince who recently
left our shores said that women should
be broad and curved like a pagoda. Say,
he must have been pleased with some of
the prize beauties he saw around town
here, l read, the other day, that any
woman who has lived in New York for
five years and gotten enough to eat, is
forty pounds over weight"
Really" replied the Boss wife in a tone
of Icy detachment, II suppose the oriental
ideal woman is like a pagoda dwindling
to a peak at the top. And I'm sure you
agree with It. Branless women are so
much less trouble"
Agreed with it?" snorted the Boss
why, 1 think any woman Weighing more
than 100 pounds should be made into soap
Fat is absolutely fatal to beauty-also
to brains"
The Boss wife glared But the Boss, I'M
dsmayed, proceeded
Keeping in condition is such a simple
matter that only the seven deadly sins
prevent a woman from being Venus at
sixty"
"A Venus!" shifted the Boss wife with
perhaps an unconscious glance at her own
outlines Nobody wants Venuses today
they re lar 100 nlppS. Inc more a
woman looks like a tadpole the lovellcr
she's considered to be. But" she added
curiously what have the seven deadly
sins to do with slenderress? Do thcy"-
and for a moment she seemed 10 hover
on the verge of crime-"do they make one
any thinner"
NO" the Boss answered acridiy. Two
of them are responsible for her over
plumpness. Their names are Gluttony and
Sloth!"
The Boss's wife glanced meanIngly in the
Boss direction.
THE Greeks" she observed learnedly,
believed that 1.-The seat of the soul was
in the stomach. What a lot of psychics
the New York men must be! / suppose
the man who wrote about the windows OF
the soul didn't realize that they were bay
windows"
you sound like a graduating thesis!
When did you leave high school?" inquired
the Boss But you are getting away from
the subject. Women are the exclamation
points of life, and you know the more an
exclamation point looks like a streak Of
lightning, the better"

Very we'll" answered the Boss, with
strange amiability. I'm teach you. The
answer to the conundrum Of the woman
workshop is dieting Turkish baths-exer-
else. or course some exercises are better
than others There's rolling, for instance"

You make epigrams almost as easily as
you make fat" the Boss answered point

Then all these remarks you've made arc
PERSONAL" she exclaimed, Il had no idea
of It. When woman weighs 1876 it's DIFF
fcult for her to realize she's a hippopot-
anus, but ! suppose you know best"
And to prove it she treated tho Boss OF
tho Establishment as If he were a pc
cularly obtuse IIottcntot for the rest of
the evening.
The next afternoon found the Boss

woman who attempts to- have a garden
without being willing to bend her back
should not undertake the task.
In planting seeds in border, or lines, the
greatest regularity is obtained by making
little trough TO receive the seeds. Ac-
cording to the width desired, the, 5Epple-
ment varies for making them. For a Nude
border the rake may be pushed back and
forward to twelve inches, or more. Wher
only a fine line is wanted, the rake Aandle
dragged alone firmly, makes a satisfactory
trench. The rule for planting is twice the
depth Of the seeds. but this, like everything
else in gardening varies.
When seeds have been a week or more
in the ground and the weather Is little
too chilly to be good for seedlings It is
a wise precautlon TO cover them. This
insures their making a better root growth,
while the top is retarded. and so kept from
possible frost. Such plants are much
sturdier when developed,
