than five minutes after the rapidly boil

plan is to have the pot OF water boiling

Hotel salad makers are playing all sorts
Of tricks with their salad dressings this
season. One restaurant has made a name
for its particular salad maker because Of
the unusual additions he beats into his
mayonnaise. A favorite combination is
the mixture Of chill sauce with the may
onnaise and grated cucumber and cucum-
Der Juice give o delicate flavor that makes
the inquisitive salad lover wonder what's
the secret.
A dash Of tomato catsup in French
dressing Is an easy trick to play and the
substitution of a spoonful Of sour cream
for q like quantity Of olive oil is no trou-
bic, provided one has the cream, slightly
soured and icy cold. Cream. both sweet
and sour, figures largely in some of this
summers popular salad dressings, and
an old time boiled" dressing composed
Of eggs. cream. and the usual salad sea-
soning and cooked in a double boiler un-
til of a curtardlike consistency. now takes
its place along with mayonnaise and
French dressing.
The hard cooked yolk Of an egg mashed
to a soft paste with cream, thinned with
tarragon vinegar and highly seasoned. Is
a delicious computation to use in masking
a mold of any cold vegetable intended for
salad. An individual salad of finely
chopped cold spinach. decorated with
hard cooked egg and served with a boiled
cream dressing. Is good to look at and
contains most of the essentials Of q
wholesome and nourishing hot weather
luncheon dish.
Slightly soured cream. beaten stiff, col
ored with paprika and well favored with
tarragon and the usuel seasonings, Is an
other delicious and wholesome dressing
particularly suited TO the salad eaters
who are not partial to oil.

A charming combination Of materials
is sketched here. The sides OF the gown
are lace fiouncing, the top Of the skirt
being fitted by tiny tucks in the plain
part of the lace. The waist and skirt
are of sheer linen lawn, hand embroid-
cred and carefully hemmed with tiny
stitches. The buttons are crochetted
and the button holes are long ovals,
with closely overcast edges.
A girdle of blue satin starts from
each side of the front panel and ties
in a bow, with ends, in the back. The
same satin is used on the edge Of the
skirt and for the oddly shaped yoke.

When you arrive at your summer cot
tage. bungalow, or cabin in the woods.
It seems rather bleak after the well-ar-
ranged home grounds to which you have
been accustomed.
Or, II you live IN the city, when you
go to the country for your outing you
always associate with 1t flowers, plants,
grass, and the trees which make up
what We call the country" And. when
you find the premises bare OF everything
but weeds and rubbish, you begin to
wonder WHY"
The answer is plain. Others ahead OF
you, perhaps for years past. arriving as
you have. in midsummer. supposing that
1t was too late to do anything toward
making a growth of green things. have
let II go at that, and contented them
selves with a lack OF the one thing
which is necessary to make an outing in
the country entoyable-your own grow
ing things. But much can be done to-
ward the identifying of a small place
even beginning in midsummer.
There surely must be at least a small
patch of grass. Lay this out and have
It dug deeply the first thing. There are
two important Things 10 De zone when
making midsummer lawns: put in lime
and good grass seed, and nature Will do
more than her share toward making
quick grass.
Get your seed from a reliable grower.
and tell him Just what you desire It for
and he will mix II specially for you. Tell
him whether the grass patch lies all day
in the sun or whether 1t is shaded half
a day or what portion of the day. You
cannot get good quick midsummer grass
by merely scratching the soil. Dig 1t
deeply, work in a good proportion of
leafrnold from the woods, Il one be near
by, and rake It roughly. Then give X a
busting Of air-slacked lime, enough to
make the top white, and rake it In
while making the top OF the soil fine.
Sow the seed so thick that 1t appears to
color the soil. about quart to ten feet
square, to insure good thick stand.
Rake II in just under the top OF the
soil with the fine rake. and roll or tread
hard. and water with a fine nozzle. and
keep IL moist constantly until II gets
four inches high-or would II you let II.
You can make good lawn in two
weeks in midsummer II you do II as out
lined above.
The next thing to be attended to Is
to set some Quick-growing vines up over

how TO INCREASE
. SUPPLY OF PLANTS
Cuttings for Greenhouses Should Be
Taken Now.

At this time your garden should appear
at its best. The sturdy plants. matured
by the gentle summer showers and sun
light, caressed by cooling breezes. have
matured and blossomed in fullest per-
lection.
The gardener surveys with pardonabls
pride the fruits OF his efforts. aided by
nature. and knows that 1T is fair"
Those who desire to make cuttings OF
plants for the greenhouse or window gar
den should do so now. This Is an easy
method to increase your stock Of plants
and 1t perpetuates favorite varieties
which would otherwise be killed when
frost comes.
Cuttings should be taken when the par
ent plant has ceased to bloom. or they
may be taken when the plant Is in flower.
To make a successful cutting, select
young shoot bearing leaves only, about
three or four inches long. Cut with a
sharp knife just below joint and plant
firmly. one inch deep, in fine soil. Keep
this moist.
VIII Root Under Grass.
Some cuttings thrive best in the shade.
while others demand the sunlight
Cuttings with thin. tender shoots-fuch-
sias. for instance-will root most readily
under glass. Those taken from thick.
fibrous stems like the geranium plant,
require plenty of air.
Two or three leaves should be allowed
to remain on the cutting, for they help
to nourish It into independent growth.
Care should be observed when planting
a cutting that the base rests upon the
soil. II the hole is made with piece
OF stick the cutting should be pressed
gently to the bottom
The soil should be pressed firmly about
the stem and watered we'll
This insures a foundation for the shoot
to take root
GeranIums grow very readily from cut
tings. and II they are taken now and In
serted out of doors in a sunny position
they will soon become plants.
They require a light soil. so sand
should be added to the natural earth IL
1t appears heavy. Cuttings should be
well rooted in six weeks time.
Cuttings may be made from the bril-
liant coleus at any time during the sum-
mer. AS long as the temperature does
not drop below SIS or 90 degrees they are
perfectly safe.
Lovely for Window Garden.
These make lovely plants for either
greenhouse or window garden. The soil
should be light, and when the cutting has
established itself the top should be
pinched OF so that the plants may be
bushy and well shaped.
Pinks are increased from cuttings taken
when the plants are IN full bloom Plant
them in the open a few inches apart IN
light, well-watered soil. These do best
In shady spot
Heliotropes and hydrangeas should be
treated in the same manner.
The old-fashioned herbs-sase. sweet
marjoram, thyme and rosemary-aTe also
grown from cuttings. These should be
stripped OF the lower leaves and planted
In a shady border.
Many other variety OF plants may be
grown from cuttings. and experiments
along this line are most interesting TO
the lover Of flowers.
