UNIQUE GARDEN BOOTH
FOR A FAIR

A BOOTH that made an unmistak-
able hit at an outdoor fair was one
dedicated to gardeners and gardening.
The stall was built In square shape and
was covered with verdant colored dem
i'm to suggest a greensward- The top
was massed with bushes, and tiny toy
trees were glued upright TO the denim
here and there. Around the booth ran
a sanded walk, along which visitors
passed to make their purchases This
walk was marked out with bay trees
and box bushes with garlands of green
stretched from one to another OF them
The fair aids were attired in green
with bewitching sunbonnets, although
any other appropriate dress-for in
stance. a flower costume-could be
substituted.
On each OF the four counters OF the
quadrangle things of use TO the gar
dener were sold.
On one there were garden tools, wa
tering pots. insect remedies for plants
and other useful accessories In the art
OF horticulture On another side seeds.
bulbs. clippings and roots we're dis
played, ticketed at moderate prices.
The novel idea adopted for still an
other counter was that Of growing pots
OF various kinds. all interesting to the
kitchen-mint. for instance. fresh and
green chives. parsley and other pot
herbs while the fourth side was. OF
course. given over to growing flowers
IN pots.

Three abdominal bands made OF soft
white flannel eight inches wide and
twenty inches long. These should not
be hemmed. but the edges may be
notched.
Three soft white wool or cotton and
wool shirts. The latter are the more
desirable. as they are not as liable to
shrink as the all wool shirts. These
half wool shirts may be obtained in
several weights. but usually a medium
weight is best
Three white flannel skirts. These
take the place of the pinning blanket
No other petticoat is necessary. al
though some mothers prefer to have a
white cotton skirt which may be trim

Six white cotton slips should be pro-

neck and sleeves may be finished with
