Powers and Chase scoring on Kelley's
hit. Kelley crossed the plate on a pass
ball, Barrows and Daniels walked and
were sent home by pretty drive for two
bases by Anair.
B. A. hit Barrows freely in the fifth but
only succeeded in putting two men over.
Ward was substituted in the sixth and

THE FLOWER GARDEN.
Plans For an Artistic Arrangement of
Beds and Flowers.

1t is just as important for the woman
who would beautify her home to con-
slider where to plant as what to plant
Never plant flowers in a round bed
Plant in long beds in front of shrub
berry where the flowers will have a
background of green foliage. Plant
the tall flowers at the back, especially
those with brilliant colors, like cannas,
hollyhocks and the like. Instead of a
big Gamma bed in the center of the lawn
string the cannas out two or three
plants deep in front of tall shrubbery,
preferably back in the yard. Plant
smaller and more delicate flowers near
the front and put some sweet scented
varieties near the porch and the win
dows of the living room.
Little triangular beds in the sharp
corners of the walks are good unless
you already have roses planted there.
Above all, watch the color scheme and
do not put clashing colors together.
Do not plant flowers at all unless
you are prepared to take care of them.
Starved, sick, discontinued flowers cry
out for help to every passerby. If you
will consider carefully the questions of
suitable soil and proper fertilizer and
choose varieties which fit your loca-
ton you can have a flower garden
which will richly repay every hours
attention that you give to it.

Crochet Mats.

When one has a polished mahogany
table care must be taken to protect its
surface from heat and moisture. Even
when a heavy material is used under
the tablecloth it is hardly sufficient
protection. One can buy asbestos
mats, but they are not dainty and soil
easily. Better than these are mats
crocheted from macrame cord. These
can be made either oblong or round,
according to the shape Of the dish I'M
dpr which they are used. If only
stiles are used on a bare table indi-
vidual mats can be made to place IN
der these doilies at each place.
