The thorough stirring up Of the es-
tablished alfalfa field with the spring
tooth harrow will not only destroy
hordes of small weeds just getting a
start. but will make the surface soil
more mellow and thus conserve the
moisture. The field may look sort of
sick when the job Is done. but it takes
something sitter than a spring tooth
harrow to kill an alfalfa root that is
all the way from quarter of an inch
to an inch and half in diameter.

The planting of tree is often an en-
tirely unselfish act, for the chief value
Of it along the line Of both fruit and
shade reaches a maximum when the
one who planted Is has gone to his re-
ward. 1t is SO with the trees that used
to mean SO much to us as children. and
1t may be true Of the trees We plant
now. which will furnish fruit or shade
for our children and their children.

pretty sentiment this year by actually
setting out tree or trees. The plant

There is little question that the high
cost Of living today Is traceable to
quite an extent to the high prices that
have to be paid for the necessaries of

new PARK ASKED
In THE NORTHEAST
Commissioners, However, Report
Bill introduced by Senator
Sutherland Adversely.

IteratinE their belief that the acquisI-
ton Of land for park purposes in the Dis
trict should be provided for in current
appropriation bills Instead Of IN separate
measures. the Commissioners late yester-
day Afternoon transmitted to Congress an
adverse report on the bill introduced by
Senator George Sutherland. chairman OF
the Senate Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds, for the establishment
OF a park at the junction Of MARYLAND
avenue and Fifteenth and II streets
northeast.
Instead OF the acquisition Of the land
provided for in the bill the Commits
sioners urged the purchase Of the Mount
Hamilton tract, one OF the parks recon-
mended by the Mcmillan Park Commits
sion. and requested by the Commissioners
m their annual estimates for the next
fiscal year. The Mount Hamilton tract
Is located on Bladensburg road about half
a nile distant from the land named in
the Senate bill. II Is admirably situated
for park purposes In the opinion OF the
Commissioners and the members OF the
park commission
The Commissioners believe that the FIJI
teenth and II tract is far inferior to the
Mount Hamilton land. They sav that il
Is comparatively low and is varied in
contour. The estimated cost Of the
Mount Hamilton tract Is only Sp,UQu
while that OF the other park Is Sl00,OOU
The bill however. provides that as much
as $4,000 may he spent for the acquisi-
tion Of the Fifteenth and II tract and its
conversion into a. suitable park.
The estimates OF the Commissioners for
the fiscal year 1913 include items for the
establishment Of FIVE parks. all OF which
have been highly recommended for ac-
QUESTION by the Mcmillan commission.
The Mount Hamilton site is one Of these
PARKS.

SILK PETFTCOATS
MADE AT HOME
Will Have Better Fit and Last
Longer.

When a woman goes to select a
ready-made petticoat or moderate
price, she will have great difficulty in
finding one that will fit without con-
siderable alteration.
For that reason 1t is best to make
your silk underskirts at home, or have
II you make them yourself. 1t will be
possible to have two Petticoats for the
price Of one welI-made bought one.
MessaIlne is the most popular petit
coat fabric: but 1t is also possible to
purchase a soft-iinished taIeta that
wears very well.
Four and oue-half yards Of yard
wide material will be sufficient to
Ike an amply full skirt, trimmed in an
attractive manner with a flounce or sew
eral rows OF quilting. Cut the petticoat
over a gored skirt pattern; FIVE. seven,
or nine cores will be found easy TO make.
Take care when you lay the pattern
on the silk that the perforations mark
ing the straight edge OF the pattern
are placed on the straight Of the ma
terial: otherwise you will have trouble
in making the skirt set properly.
II the pattern Is too long. lay a fold

each gore before cutting out the ma

Adjust the waistband and stitch il in
place before you finish the hem; then
IT will be easy to get the proper length.
A two-inch hem or facing goes,on next
and the trimming last.
Either dounce or quilting must be
cut on the bias.
Five inches wide when finished is a
good width for a .fiounce and two
inches for quilting. The hounce is
hemmed on one edge and gathered into
narrow heading when sewed on the
skirt. Quilting must be hemmed on
both edges and shirred or box pleated
through the center.
Some women prefer quilting with a
pinked or fringed edge. This can be
done at small cost in a department.

WHAT PARIS SAYS
ABOUT NEW GOWNS

Evening frocks are now fashioned from
soft satin, ohsrmeuse- chiffon. plain. and
embroidered nets and exquisite supple
cloths of gold and silver.
Very charming are the fine white silk
marquisettes finished with deep border
Of plain white satin. Nets embroidered
in gold. silver, and copper threads are In
high favor for landings on skirts and
the fashioning of at least a part OF the
corsage.
An evening frocks are made on long.
graceful lines. Many show the sharp
two-pointed trsin-Others show the one
point train. A distinctive feature on some
of the models is the trimming on one
shoulder OF the corsage and the absence
Of all oruameutation on the other.
The vogue OF the tunic is responsible
for the combining OF different eolors and
materials on one, gown with happy and
charming results.

seats for them. leaned over the chill

The woman addressed gave me a with
