PLANNING FLOWER GARDEN
REQUIRES CAREFUL STUDY
Bedding Plans Are Only Effective When Certain nd
Foliage Are Used-Fibbon Beds Are
of 0

A very brilliant combination Is
made oy filling the center Of circu
lar bed with calllopsis, rich yellow
and maroon. and surrounding it witt
white and pale yellow phlox
The contrast between the dark, ricf
yellow Of the calliopSis and the softer
shade OF the same color in the phloz
is charming.
II arouher color seems advisable
use pink phlox. This harmonizes
beautifully with the stronger tones ol
the calliopsis.
The center Of circular bed can be
filed with scarlet saliva, with mas
turtiums as border. The contrast
between the fiery scarlet and the rich
tones Of yellow and orange and sui
phur found in the latter plant, is ex
ceedingly lovely, while the peagreen
foliage Of the nasturtium affords just
the right amount Of that color to
bring into strong relief the blossoms
Of both plants. Such bed any one
can make with very little trouble.
A charming hedge is made by plant
ing scarlet SALIVA in a row as a back
ground, then row Of white nicOtiana,
with blue ageratum as border. Here
we have the patriotic colors Of our
flag effectively combined
The blue of the agcratum and the
scarlet of the saliva would prove a
rather violent contrast If planted next
each other, but separated by the white
of the nicotiana, their aggressiveness
is toned down in such manner as 10
produce a pleasing effect.
A beautiful hedge is made by using
zinnias in the back row, then calliop-
sis with white phlOX as border.
Ribbon beds can be worked out
with good effect by using different
colors Of the verbena in rows. Such
beds are most pleasing when near the
house or close to the path, where they
can be looked down upon.
But in order to carry out such de-
signs with this flower, 1t will be neces-
sary to purchase plants Of each
color from the florist, who grows them
from cuttings. Seedlings are quite
sure to bring plants Of all colors com
mon to the family, therefore, are not
to be depended upon where it is abso-
lutely necessary to have each color
in its proper place.
Those who have old plants Of gera-
mum, which have been kept over the
winter in the house, can utilize them
in the summer by planting them out.
OF course the effect will be most
pleasing If the pinks and sCarlets and
crimsons can be kept by themselves,
Try combining them with such an
nuals as white phloX. yellow calliop-
sis, white nicotIana, or, in the case OF
pink sorts lavender ageratum
II you have odd plants of Madam
Salleroi geranium, break them apart
and use the cuttings so secured, for
border purposes. Each cutting will
be almost sure to take root.
Put them in the ground where they
are to grow, about eight inches apart,
pinching the soil firmly about the base
of each. In six weeks time, they will
have made fair showing, and by
midsummer they will have grown to-
gether in most attractive row of
green and white This IS one Of our
best edging plants

Flower Keeps Its FRESHNESS.

A common South African flower
possesses the valuable property Of
keeping fresh for TWO months or more
after cutting. 1t is white star of
bethlehem, producing a compact
spike OF flowers on a st.C, erect stalk
Is inches or two feet long. The flow.
ers are OF thin and papery tissue, all
white except the yellow authe-s. 1t
can be sent over as a cut lower from
South Africa to England, and tLen
lasts for weeks in wa,er.

One of the prettiest sets we have
seen is a faithful copy of madam's.
The color scheme Is lobster pink,
which has taken the place of coral,
and the trimmings are silver embroid-
cry and Bruges lace. The trig little
toque is quite the smartest shape we
have seen. 1t fits the head snugly, but
has a decided turn to the left side Of
the brim, which gives 1t the effect Of
being much larger. The crown Is
made of the lace over pink or lobster
colored chiffon, and the visible part
of the brim is faced with wonderfully
done embroidery made more ornate
by the addition of white or white and
colored jewels. From the right side
Of the ridged crown (the shape Is typ

All Sorts Of Trimming.

Ni OOI 10 VI iIHIlUiHS'
The trimmings are exquisite. Wild
flowers and old fashioned garden flow
ers vie with each other on the same
hat Natural colorings of artificial
flowers are given little attention. AL
most any shade that blends with the
tone of the hat or gown Is considered
smart. A new idea that Is taking we'll
is the use of beads applied directly
to the straw, and If the fad continues
there Is no telling to what spectacular
lengths it may run. Boad trimmings
of all kinds are also seen on some OF
the best hats. The mingling of big
the moment. Rambler and moss roses
together with the tiniest of button
roses formed the trimming OF one OF
the picture hats shown this
season. Another model Of the same
dimensions had for its trimming a
wonderful combination of poinsettias
and camelias with weeping willow
foliage In It's natural shade OF soft
green. Lace is also much used In
millinery, though more in the makeup
than in its garntshments.
Home Dress.
Natter blue mercerised poplinette
makes a smart and quite inexpensive
dress In this style. The skirt has a
wide band of material at foot, put on
with q wrapped seam; silk-covered
buttons trim left side front breadth.
The bodice is trimmed up left side
with galloon and buttons, galloon also
outlines the round yoke of lace.

Greatly Varied Question.

The question Of hats is varied one.
This season there are hats for every
body, and prices to suit the purchase
er. There is no end to oddities in the
new models, and almost everything Is
shown from jockey, witch and clown
shapes to the traditional helmet, cav
alier, empire and Victorian styles. All
these and many others are fashioned
of coarse straws, tagal and hemp
| braids The coarse straWs are so eX-
Ceedingly coarse that little trimming
| is required to make the finished hat
becoming, Many such models are
trimmed with a severe little bow or
chou made Of satin or velvet and
placed in some unusual position. These
and other styles are ideal for wear
with tailor-made costumes, while the
Victorian styles seem to be the only
thing for the quaint little summer
frocks Of prints and border effects.
Among the novelties is shown a
piQuant model labeled "Watteau."
! The shape turns up defantly at the
back, and Is heralded as one of the
most popular shapes at the French
Riviera where smart summer fashions
annually receive their christening A
number of the becoming dress hats
have brims of shrred tulle with
spring flowers trimming them the en-
tire surface. The facing very often is
,f Nd t. % oh
mousseline; sometimes over a con-
trasting color. A stunning hat shaped
on the order of the mushroom model
was made in direct contrast to con-
ventionalties. Instead of the flowers
being on the top, they were employed
as the facing to the underbrim, while
the top of the chapeau was left COM
paratively plain, with nothing but a
bit of shirred chiffon over the crown
and brim. The flowers under the
brim were simple field daisies, and the
effect was novel and wonderfully be-
coming.
"Poke" Effect Is Good.
The close fitting hat la mode, as
shown In its best form, has acquired
a decided poke that Is equal to quite
ravishing effects II worn over pretty
face. The smartest of these models
are perfectly fiat over the front OF the
head and the back has variety of
ways of extending the hair and ears.
A fetching poke-toQue of this order
seen the other day was made OF
striped black and white satin braid
with broad front expanse OF plain
black hemp. The only trimming con-
sisted Of a huge bow of black and
white striped velvet ribbon edged with
bright green. At the sides were two
rather large cobochons of Jet, and
across the top of the crown is another
Jet ornament running from front to

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
GAINS SWEPT AWAY.
Acute Weakness With Heavy Losses
in Yesterdays Market

New York, Sept. 1S.-Acute weak
ness once more developed in the stock
market today. The neagre gains cof
yesterday were swept away before an
attack which, as the session progress
ed. became increasingly severe, and
inflicted some hayev losses. Adequate
support was entirely lacking. Trading
was nervous and unsettled. 1t was a
matter of debate whether the move
ment represented principally short sell
ing or further liquidation of the char
acter which was the predominating in
fiuence through the long decline
Union Pacific'S decline, at the low
price Of the day, was within fraction
of four points, one of the most severe
drops of this stock during the summer.
Missouri Pacific aGd New Haven lost
the same amount. and both of those
stocks, as we'll as New York Central,
sold at their lowest prices since 1908
A number of prominent issues incIud-
ing Reading, Southern Pacific. Cana
dian Pacific, st. Paul and Amalgamat-
ed Copper, lost two points or more.
The list of new records for the year
embrs ced a large measure of the lead
ers. The market rallied briskly before
the close, under the influence of short
covering, regaining part of the day s
losses.
The depression in several railroa d
stocks was attributed to some extent
to doubt whether the dividend rates
would be maintained. This was espe-
ciallN true of New Haven, which also
was affected by tie unfa.vora bic anuu-
al report of the Boston and Maine, one

News from the iron and steel ira de

FIRST ACADEMY PRACTICE TODAY
Football Squad Will Be Out-New Coach For N. F. A.
This Year-Campus Not In Shape To Play Games
Another Field To Be Used.

For their first football practice OF
the season, Captain Albert Gebratb
and the Academy gridiron squad will
be out this afternoon, since they need
all the time there is to get ready for
the opening game of their schedule on
Saturday, the 30th. Last season the
eleven closed the season with cham
pionship record, and the prospects
should be good to repeat again this
year.
ernoon they will have a new coach at
the head of affairs, and they will also
be under the necessity of finding a
new place to play their games, be-
cause of the present condition of the
Academy campus after the filing in
and Ievelling off that was done during
the summer.
F. NJ. Leonard, a Colgate man,
whose home is in PittSfeld, Mass, is
the new coach, succeeding NJ. w. Ault-
man. who was the teams expert guide
last year, but is now taking course
at Cambridge university England,
Coach Leonard was captain and catch
err of the Colgate varsity baseball
team of 1911, also playing some foot
ball While in college, and will be an
able director of athletic affairs for the
n. It. A.
Another field for playing the games
must be found this season, and there
has been some talk that the state hos
pital grounds might be selected, but
Principal Tirrell said on Wednesday
evening that this had n9t been fully
decided vet. Due largely to the dry
season, the grass seed that was sown
on the Academy campus after the field
was levelled off did not sprout, during
the summer. and has only just begun
to grow, so that playing now would
spoil all prospects for a good turf
next spring for baseball.
Two or three good heavy men are
said to be among those who have en-
tered school this fall, and with six or
seven of last years champion team left
make the prospects look good for the
production of a team that can give
any opponent a good argument
Theodore Haviland, who was elected
assistnt business manager, becomes
manager for this season, as Manager
Woodruff Sullivan has not returned to
school. Among the games on the
schedule after the season opens with a
local team on the 30th, is a game at
Storls with the second team of the
Agricultural college and a game here
with Hartford High school
When the candidates get out today
they will do their practice on the lot
at the upper end of the campus, back
of Principal Tirrelrs residence
