MANY DEFINED PRINCIPLES
 IN PRUNING FRUIT TREES
Adapted Forming of Distinct Systems
 

The shape. however. should be largely determined by the natural character istics of the tree. Low-headed trees produce the best results in many To- calities- They are able to stand heavy winds without injury, the fruit is near CT the ground and makes harvesting crop and all orchard work much easier, and the trunks are not so like ly to be injured by sun-scald.
 If one-year-old trees are set out, the pruning the first year will consist in cutting the top back to within eight cen or twenty-four inches of the ground. The cut should be made just above a strong bud. During the first season three or four branches should be permitted to grow; the others rubbed of soon after the buds ex- pand.
 In the spring of the second year, if more than three or four branches grew during the first summer. they

PRETTY PRESENT FOR FRIEND
Embroidery Scissors Holders One of the Most Acceptable Gifts That
 Can Be Made.

If you can do even the simplest sort of crocheting, you must make your self and your friends one of the little crocheted silk embroidery scissors holders. These consist simply of cork, crocheted around in silk every where except the top surface. and with a crocheted string or handle to which the scissors are attached. Then when they are not in use the points are stuck into the cork and they are out of harms way.
 An accompaniment of this, not quite so new, but very useful. is a tiny glass medicine vial without lid, crocheted all over very finely. Into it are dropped broken needles and bent pins, and they are far safer there than thrown carelessly on the floor or in the wastebasket- When the vial is full slip of the silk-a little drawing string at the bottom permits this and empty 1t. burying the needles in the earth or throwing them into the fire.

VIA THE AIR
 ROUTE
By STACY E. BAKER

Success is prankster: Eben Jones. lured by her smile, stopped on her threshold, and she pelted him with lemons.
 Eben believed in the old adage: Hitch your wagon to a star" He started for said star on several occa- sions, substituting faulty monoplanes of his own construction for the out of-date wagon. Eben was an inventor.
 For a long time the little workshop wherein the sky scooters were evolv- ed was the hub of many pilgrimages made by the prim New Englanders who occupied land adjoining the Jones farm. Eben's continued failures, how ever. bred contempt. Gradually he ceased to be even the subject of dis cussion Thereupon Success again grinned and whispered fair promises in the ear of the believing youth.
 Eben Jones was nothing if not opti- mistic. Cheerful faith in his fellow man gleamed in the blue eyes of the young fellow. and his lips were always smiling. Even when Farmer Smith compelled him to pay for the fruit tree, the laden branches of which he had unintentionally wrecked by fall, the smile remained.
 Jones always expected falls. He flew skyward prepared for them. A rubber company manufactured in quantities a pneumatic safety cushion of his own devising and in which he arrayed himself at each ascension. These were not easily punctured, and they broke the falls. Only once in the days of his experimenting did he break bone.
 As the curiosity of his neighbors de generated into contempt, Eben began to achieve results. His craft flew higher. and he learned to have a mod est control over them. The principal flaw to his scheme of flight was his motor. This had nerve-harrowing way of stopping when the plane was just on the border of cloudland and compelling its owner to slide earth ward. As a coaster, Eben's machine was a record breaker. Generally things happened when it struck the earth. But it always kept its balance, and when the baking motors rested,

GROWING HERBS
 IS ESSENTIAL
Nothing Can Quite Take Theis Place in HouSeho1d-SeedS Of Annual Sort Should be
 Sown Early.
By R. G. wEATHERsToNE0

No garden can be considered co1,. plete that does not include a goodly variety of herbs, for nothing can quite fill their place in the household.
 The seeds of annual sorts should be sown early, but of the perennial var ieties (and many of the best are that) the seeds sown in midsummer will produce strong plants that may be freely cut from the following year.
 Make the soil rich, mellow and fine before sowing the seed When the seeding plants are large enough they may be transplanted to the border beds, or the fence-row where they can grow undisturbed year after year.
 When the roots become large they may be divided and new plants start ed if more are wanted. though two or three plants of one variety will fur nish all gOod-sized family will need, as the leaves should be cut several times during the season.
 The leaves should be cut when full ly grown and before the plant blooms, choosing clear, dry day for the work. Spread in a cool. shady room to dry, as drying in the sun or by the fire spells both color and flavor.
 When thoroughly dry powder the leaves by rubbing between the hands and store away. in'tight cans or boxes

Rv R. " FISHERY

It Is known that heavy pruning of che tops of fruit trees in winter or during the dormant period has tend ency to produce wood growth, or cause the trees te grow larger. This is due to the fact that when pruning IS done when the tree is dormant the plant food which is taken up by the roots early in the spring is concen- Irated into a smaller portion of the top and results in the very rapid growth of the parts left. Weak trees are often forced into vigorous growth by heavy top pruning which is done in the winter or early spring.
 When vigorous plants are given a heavy winter pruning water sprouts are often produced, because there is more plant food sent up from the roots than the top area can use, re- sulting in the growth of dormant la teral buds.
 Heavy pruning of the top in the summer or when the tree is in an active state of growth has tendency to check the wood growth, causes fruit buds to form and sometimes results in the growth of water sprouts. The wood growth is checked because when pruning is done when the leaves are performing their function of assimi- lating plant food a large portion of the area which is making plant food is removed and the supply of pre- pared plant food is checked, thus causing a decrease of growth over the whole tree.
 Heavy root pruning cheeks the growth of wood by cutting of the supply of moisture and crude plant food This results in an. increasing number of fruit buds. In sections of

1t slid much as a batsman strives to glide to first base.
 Eben, happily exultant in the sky. one day after his contrivance had be- gun to act more like a real sky clip per, felt the throL 1ing motor sudden ly stop, and with a resigned sigh he adjusted his gliding appliance and started down the invisible hill He had come farther than usual. When he struck sod, his machine, following the time-honored custom, cheerfully scraped along for some distance like misguided ice yacht, and when the youth finally emerged from the debris It was to confront a most indignant and astonished young lady. His eyes told him that he must have ploughed around in what had once been a flow CT garden
 He turned to the maid standing with a bouquet of freshly picked flow CTS in her hand and essayed a Ches- terfieldian bow. Inasmuch, as his pro tecting raiment remained unpunctur- ed, he appeared like a caricature of the Pickwickian fat boy, and his grace of movement was lost to the irritat- ed damsel.
 You have ruined my garden" she complained.
 And my machine, too." added the inventor. "As for the damage I have done, will pay you for it. always do. I have a reputation in these parts for prompt dealings. I am Eben Jones. Perhaps you have heard of me?"
 q have not" snapped the indig- nant damsel.
 Her rage was becoming.
 If you will just sum up your loss in dollars and cents," intimated the youth, ignoring the verbal buffet, T will pay you at once"
 Eben had plenty of money. He had come to this out-of-the-way place from New York to experiment. He had the money behind him to pay for the havoc wrought by his grounded gid CTS.
 "T can't sum up my loss.' as you term it," answered the girl. T don't know what my loss is-in dollars and cents. only know that you have scraped up several beds of flowers.

should be cut out, making the cut near the main stem and parallel tc it. The remaining branches should be cut back to within three or four buds of the main stem, making the cut just above strong bud.
 In the spring of the third year all but three or four branches are cut out, including the terminal branch, and the others are cut back to within three or four buds fthe stem from which they grow, the idea being to produce three or four well developed and well situated twigs on each branch each year. and having the branches so placed that the tree will grow into a symmetrical form and be open enough so that the sunlight can get into the center of the tree, thus adding much to the color of the fruit By cutting each seasons growth back to within a few buds of the last sea sons growth the tree is made to grow much stockier than it otherwise would.
 The pruning after the third year is very similar to that given in the third year. Three or four twigs are selected on each growth, the others cut out, and the remaining twigs cut back. All cross limbs or limbs thai are too close together, or that rub together should be cut out

Dainty Bedroom Slippers Should Be a Standard Article for Every
 day Use.

A dainty pair of bedroom slippers may be made from two lapped sec tions of shirred three-inch ribbon (the length, of course, depending on the size of the foot) attached across the front of a lamb's-wool sole. This forms the toe and instep portion.
 The sides and back of the slipper are formed of a straight band of rib bon, lined with satin and sewed to the sole. If desired, it can be stiffen- ed with bristol board. Powered taf- feta ribbon is best for this purpose. but it should not be too f1imsy.
 A drawstring passed through the upper edge of the sides may be tied in bow in front, or the upper edge may be finished at the sides and back by two-inch wide portion lined with the satin in contrasting cover DOT tion, turned down like a collar and caught by a few stitches or a baby ribbon rosette.

Bedroom Wall Papers.

Some of the cut-out borders are charming used with simple, almost plain, side walls, and chintz or ere tonne curtains carrying out the design of the border. Then again. if the wall spaces are large, 1t Is sometimes inter esting to divide them up into panels. either with simple ribbon or flower borders or with floral crowns and borders similar to the one illustrated The panelled rooms. however, have the disadvantage of seeming to re- quire little more elaborate furnish ing than those in which the walls are treated simply. They seem to de- mand Sheraton. Heppelwhite, or Adams furniture.-Harper's Bazar.

IN SPITE of all the jibes flung at
 womankind for her fickleness as to
 fashions in headwear, there are some sorts of hats that are always worn and always in style, or able to defy the passing fads of the moment. Among them are the small toques de signed for elderly matrons and others who affect inconspicuous and good styles. the walking hat, dear to all women, and the big picture hat, with broad brim of graceful flowing lines which Is the rose in the rosebud gar den of hats every season. All the styles vary a little from time to time. but hardly enough to identify them selves as belonging to a certain year.
 Three pretty and becoming hats for matrons are pictured here suitable to almost any season. The variation of the English walking hat, with brim faced with velvet, and turning up at the left, is finished with a very ample drapery of silk. The arrangement of this drapery gives the impression of shape turned up at both sides. as in the regulation walking shape. Such a hat needs no additional trimming, but may De d0dpueQ 10 young WearerS by the addition of a smart feather, or it may be elaborated for anyone by tuft of ostrich half plumes One must look far for more elegant hat or model so universally becoming.
