Miss Agatha Browne was thirty-tve

when she was girl-that could easily

her face. her soft, clear skin, and the
gray eyes which even her detractors

enough 90 that the plant roots are
well spread and the crown Of the plant,
the point where the roots and the
stems join, is just above the surface
of the soil. Cover the roots deeply,
and tread the soil firmly around the
plants. Pick OF the blossoms and dead
leaves and keep the blossoms OH the
plants during the first season 10 as to
conserve the energy of the plant and
get 1t well established. Be careful not
to allow the roots Of the plants to be-
come dry before they are placed in
the ground. 49, ..
Some Of the plants are perfect and
can fertilize the seed, while other
plants in the same bed do not produce
pollen. hence require pollen from 9TH
er plants to produce: fruit For this
reason 1t is a good plan to set one
row Of perfect plants for every two
rows Of the imperfect plants, although
this rule admits of q great deal of
variation.
AS soon as the plants are set in the
ground, water them well to bring the
soil particles in close contact with the
roots, and then either cultivate the
ground between the rows or cover it
with straw to prevent weed growth.
The cultivation is much preferable
during the first season. However,
many successful growers find it ad-
,visable to cover the ground with
straw until after the fruit is harvested
from a bearing bed, as It not only
prevents the growth of weeds by
shading them, but it keeps the ripen-
ing fruit from being covered with mud
when it rains during the picking sea-
son.
The plants should be set about 10
inches apart in the row. and the run
ners, or vine-like tendrils, must be
kept back with hoe the first season.

STYLES IN CHILDREN's COATS
Severe Simplicity Will Be the Ac-
cepted Idea for the Models Of
the Coming ceason.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, simple tailored styles for every
day wear are receiving the most at
tention in children's coats. Such gar
ments are shown in serges Bedford
cords, whipcords, poplins and fancy
mixtures. The collars, cuffs and revers
are usually of silk, ratine or cloth in
some bright color. On the dressier
numbers lingerie collars and cuffs are
employed. In most instances these
are made detachable, Sc that they can
be easily Numbered. Belts are a fea-
ture Of many Of the best selling
models. Frequently the belt is seen
only In the back section. When the
entire belt is used it is placed several
'uches below the waist line and is
made of satin. silk or velvet. Plain
or crushed broad velvet belts are con-
hidcred particularly smart and are
used with excellent effect on bright
colored coats in red, Wilhelmina blue,
tan and rose. Sashcs are also being
used In d similar manner. These are
frequently in black or OF the same
shade as the coat itself
