oRANDMoTHER's GARDEN.


Grandmother's garden was edged with
box,
And quaint were the flowers that
grew;
Foxglove and fennel and lady locks,
Marjoram, mint and rue;
Fragrant it was with mullen pink,
And lilies of white and gold;
Never was sweeter a spot, l think,
Grandmother's garden Of old.
G. andmother's garden, she loved 1t so!
Rainy the day or fair.
Down the borders she'd always go,
Watching the bloom with care;
Wedding and pruning with skillful
hand,
But gentle; just so. they say,
She reared her children, a goodly band,
Who grandmother blesses today.
Grandmother's garden! If souls re-
am sure that she comes once more,
When deepens the green in the ivy
turn
And crocuses deck the door:
For fields Elysian on earthly bowers
May border; could dull eyes see,
gracious presence amid her flowers,
Grandmother still may be.

Circus Methods of Advertising NO

FOr-AppeaI Necessary.

Suburban real estate operators and
prospective purchasers Of home lots are
coming to realize more and more the ad-
vantage resulting from an attractive ar
rangement and establishment Of home
surroundings. said a prominent local
builder Yesterday ,
To the real estate man it is purely
a matter of dollars and cents His prob
lem is the question OF what expenditure
will yield him the greatest return on
his investment. This involves many
minor problems. but they all resolve
themselves into the question of what
will appeal to the prospective purchas-
er. be he rich or poor. cultured or ignOr-
ant. The dealer has first to decide what
class in a general way he intends to
interest in his property.
The day Of bombastiC advertising is
passing Circus methods OF alluring the
public no longer exert the charm which
they once did in time past The public
insists on being shown in the concrete,
and it is amazing to find to how great
an extent the recent awakening in
logical and beautiful home making has
made its hold on the public taste.
Arrangement Is Important.
To realize a ready sale. therefore. the
developer has to so arrange his property
that il will make an immediate appeal.

A public demand for property once
started is not easily stopped. Purchasers
are much like the proverbial sheep. Ami
NAL instinct leads them to follow a
pioneer or leader. l know one man who
was endeavOring to interest a special
class of purchasers to spend as much AS
81 coo in embelGshing each of a number
Of less than half-aCre lots. Later. after
a ready sale, he remarked, with COM
plaCenCv, that II had paid him. Less

the New Governor of Jerusalem to give
his special attention to assure the Sc

must be supplanted by comedy en-
acted by the innocent children of the

We believe with the men who are
urging uniform laws and an end to
the ease in which they are obtained.
Make time a necessary factor and re-
quire at least years delay before d
hearing on the merits of the case, and
that alone will prevent the mad rush
into court and possibly give the great
majority a nopportunity to ponder over
tEeir acts. The Jewish people now
need stringent laws as well as all 9th
ers who compose the population of
this great country for the protection
of their home ties, which are being
rent asunder by the great evils of di-
vorce.
