MIDDLE AGE is BEST
THAT REALLY is THE HAPPIEST
TIME OF ONES LIFE.
Strength, Wisdom and Experience All
Combine to Make IL Moro Inter
estlng Than Youth, With
Its Selfishness.

To be middle-aged is to be despised.
All young creatures wonder what We
have to live for. Poets and novelists
are agreed in contemning or ignoring
us. Youth is wonderful and beauti-'
full, and old age has its mild wisdom;
but middle age Is a desert that no
one cares to explore. French novel
lists will take an interest in women
up to 40 II they are sufficiently care
full of their appearance and sufficient
ly careless In their morals. After that,
pouf! va! And l do not see that
English novelists greatly differ in this
particular. Mrs. Oliphant alone has at
tempted to create interest In the wom-
an OF middle age, but only TO COM
miserate her innumerable cares and
anxieties or to depict her sentimental
jealousy of the blossoming time of
young girl.
Youth, with all its reputation for
Joy and interest. is really usually full
of sorrow and boredom. When we are
young We expect SO much of life. we
are absolutely wrapped up in our
selves, SO completely selfish in our
ideals of happiness, that the disap-
pointments and disenchantments are
always correspongingly bitter and
deep. You expect everything-you
get perhaps little, perhaps nothing,
OF what you expected. The world does
not hasten to bring Joy and interest
and love to your feet, and you lie
down to weep and despair, and cry that
the times are out of joint Youth very
the giving itself. 1t expects every
thing and gives nothing, and it is
therefore constantly unhappy.
Middle-aged people are, or should
be, still strong and full of life; and
all the energy that used TO go into
dancing and chasing balls begins to
be used for something outside them
selves; 1t may be for an idea, It may
be for persons, or for the community
at large. Women have an immense
fund OF energy, which, IL switched off
themselves, where IL may do mischief,
makes them tireless and invaluable
workers. What man will do consci-
entiously, for duty's sake, woman
will do for the sheer pleasure of It.
Middle age, In short, has found out
that the blue bird was at home all the
while; that the effort TO be of use to
others IN every day life is what brings
happiness. The effort to reach hap
piness through being amused, excited,
loved, through power. through sue
cess, is essentially the effort of youth.
When people have learned to take
back seat, to love other people, and
to work for them, they are happy
and middle aged

with the stronger tones, as there is
lack Of harmony between them.
Asters can be planted in rows OF
white and lavender, with very pleas
ing results, provided the same kind is
used In each row.
Ribbon beds would become monot-
onously tiresome If we were to con-
fine ourselves to them, therefore 1t is
advisable to have something else for
a change.
Next to them the circular bed is
easiest to make. l would not advise
too many colors.
Have the center of one color, say
lavender, II asters are used, then a
row of pale pink, with white in the
outside row.
This arrangement OF colors can
be varied to suit individual taste.
II sweet-alyssum or white candytuft
is used as an edging the effect is
heightened, as these plants bring a
mass of foliage and bloom down to
the ground. and hide the tall stalks
OF the asters.

PRUNING HOOK IS HOMEMADE


The pain of scratches and picks
comes readily TO ones imagination as
he thinks of pruning the raspberry
bushes or other bush fruits, especially
where he has not had good tools for
performing the job, says the Michigan
Farmer. The work is SO miserable
that 1t is generally left undone. The
illustrated pruning hook will help to
overcome many Of the undesirable fea-
lures connected with cleaning out of
the hills on these fruits. The hook
is used for cutting those canes that
can be hooked, and for this purpose
the inner edge of the hook is made
sharp, while the spud is for ampu-
tating such canes as happen to stand
close to another that Is to be left or Is
otherwise situated that the hook can
not be used. The spud cuts the cane
nearer the ground than can be done
with the hook. Both are, however,
very necessary for a complete imple-
ment. Besides It's use In cutting, the
hook Is convenient In pulling the
pruned canes from among the stand
ing ones into the row where they can
be gathered and taken from the plan.

of the handle of a short-handled fork

Certain Kinds
Foliage Used-Ribbon Beds Are

very brilliant comDlnauon ls
made by filling the center OF circu-
lar bed with calliopsis, rich yellow
and maroon, and surrounding 1t with
white and pale yellow phlox.
The contrast between the dark. rich
yellow of the calliopsis and the softer
shade of the same color In the phlox
Is charming.
II another color seems advisable
use pink phlox. This harmonizes
beautifully with the stronger tones Oh
the calliopsis.
The center of a circular bed can be
filed with scarlet saliva, with mas
turtiums as a 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 pea-green
foliage OF the nasturtium affords just
the right amount of that color to
bring into strong relief the blossoms
of both plants. Such a bed any one
can make with very little trouble.
A charming hedge is made by plant
ing scarlet SALIVA in row as back
ground, then a row OF white nicotiana,
with blue ageratum as border. Here
we have the patriotic colors OF our
flag effectively combined.
The blue of the ageratum and the
scarlet of the saliva would prove
rather violent contrast II planted next
each other, but separated by the white
of the nicotiana, their aggressiveness
Is toned down in such manner as to
produce pleasing effect.
A beautiful hedge is made by using
zinnias in the back row, then cailiop-
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 10 the family, therefore, are not
to be depended upon where 1t 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 or
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 a fair showing, and by
midsummer they will have grown to-
gether in a most attractive row OF
green and white. This is one Of our
best edging plants.

Personally I am not much of an
admirer of carpet or ribbon bedding
or the designs" which the enthusi-
astio amateur gardener frequently at
tempts, but is pretty sure to abandon
later In the season, because he discov-
ers that designs work out unsatis-
factorily In ANNALS.
The fact is, carpet bedding plants
are only effective when certain kinds
they can be kept within their proper
limits by shearing and pruning. while
the ANNALS have too much sprawl
to be tractable and very few kinds
give a sufficient mass OF bloom TO
produce the desired effect.
We are likely to think that because
a plant has yellow, red or blue flow
ers, that it will prove effective wher-
ever these colors are desired, but we
lose sight of the fact that the flow
ers will be SO few in number and so
far apart that there is seldom any
solid color effect such as Is necessary
in properly working out patterns.
This being the case, only the sim
pier designs should be attempted with
ANNALS, and only such effects aimed
at, as can be produced by contrast in
which harmony plays an important
part.
Ribbon beds are easiest of all TO
make. Very pleasing ones can be
made with pink, pale yellow, and
white phlox. planted in rows. II
darker colors are preferred, the scar
let and crimson can be used. always
combining them with white to give
