When gallants fought for gallant

A PERENNIAL GARDEN

pencil or a pointed stick. These little
burrows should be about four lnches
apart and the depth must depend upon
the size of the seed which Is to go into
them. The very finest seed Is to be but
barely covered. 1t is temptation to SOW
the seeds too thickly, but there Will De
enough thinning out to do in any case,
for which reason 1t is well to be a little
parsimonious with the seed. A comfort
able way to put in the seed Is to use a
board the width of the bed, upon which
one may kneel while at work. If the
board is placed above each row as soon
as the seed has been sown. 1t will help
firm the soil. something which should De
done in some manner, whatever plan may
be followed.
Next the bed must be watered and anna
tours often find it something of prob
lem to apply the water without washing
out the fine seeds. Florists use very
fine nozzle or rose. as 1t Is called. The
streams from the average watering pot
are too large and instead of using it in
the usual way the novice will do we'll to
lay a strip of burlap or old bagging over
the bed and to sprinkle the water on that
until it is thoroughly wet down and the
water trickling through. No harm is done
If the burlap is left on the bed through the
day until the seedlings appear, but 1t
should be removed at night. There must
be no covering after the plants are up, or
they will grow spindling. 1t is desirable,
though, that they have shade. especially
in the middle of the day.
Once the seedlings are well up. they
must be thinned in order that each plant
may have room to grow without being
crowded. When the plants are three
inches high they may be transferred to
the quarters which they are to occupy
permanently. The earth around them
should be wet several hours before this
work is to be done, so that plenty of soil
can be taken with the roots. Then the
roots will not dry out and the growth Of
the little plants will not be grealy re-
tarded. All this does not involve as much
labor as one might ina CINE from reading
the directions. and a supply Of plants will
be obtained which would cost several dol
lars II purchased in the spring.

A Hint on Your Housekeeping.

Dear Miss Roberts: I though perhaps
some Of your readers might like to know
how I and my girl friend have managed
our living expenses for the past year.
"She Is about my age, twenty-five, and
we started in to make our living together.
We both left our homes to come to the

but we never liked 1t. and last year we
decided to try setting up housekeeping
for ourselves.

hall bedroom apiece and meals that were
fair but not thrilling, as my friend put it.
board bill on the occasions when we were
asked out anywhere
I'VE hunted around till we found two
communicating rooms of a good size on
the top floor Of an old house. They were
unfurnished, but there was a bath. on
the floor below, which We were allowed
to use, and the rent was only $40 q
month for the two.
I'VE were lucky in having a friend
who sent us q bed she had in storage,
The rest of our furniture was scarcely
to be seen tho early part OF the expert
ment We had small kitchen table
which we covered with q piece of zinc
and on which We stood the double-burner
gas cooker: two chairs, another square
table, curtains of cheap white stuff, and
a woven rag rug together with a few
thing we could not pay for in cash, but
we saved hard each week. with our eye
on some treasure We wanted
NOW We have q really lovely place.
though 1t Is extremely simple. OF course.
our friends have given US some things.
