much care or little, it will do it's very
best to bloom early and often, and it
will succeed most remarkably well.
Did you ever know any persons who
did not like the perfume of the Sweet
Pea? We do not, and we are sorry
for them if there be any such.
In variety of tints the most fastidi-
Gus can be suited. as there are 40 or
so different shades aid mixtures to
choose from. They range from deep
pansy purple through all shades and
mixtures of blue and red, to the purest
vivid white. The colors are not mere
ly surface colors. They are deep
eolors that actually live.
The proper way to grow sweet peas
to their greatest perfection is to dig
a trench foot wide and foot deep,
as early as possible in the spring. Fill
in six inches with rich, loose loan and
plant the seed three inches apart and
one-half inch deep after soaking them
in water. AS soon as the seedlings
are six inches high fill in with earth
around them until only two inches Of
the plant shows. This treatment will
insure more extensive root develop
ment and more resistance to drought.
Fill in from time to time until the
bottom of the trench is level with the
land. Furnish support FOR the vines,
either woven wire, branches, or a
fence, and they will run up several
feet.
Be sure that you pick all of the
blossoms as soon as they are perfect
and the plants will bloom from early
summer until frost. If allowed to go
to seed the plants will promptly cease
blooming.
The Sweet Pea might we'll be our
national flower. May it bloom for'
ever.

Sweet Peas.

No flower is more generally beloved
than the old fashioned Sweet Pea. It
was dear to the hearts of our great
grandmothers and their great-grand-
mothers as we'll, and for no telling
how many generations back Of that.
It belongs to a large family whose
scientific name is taken from the Pc
culiar butterfiy-like form of the bios
SONS. The garden varieties of green
peas, string, wax, navy, pole and lima
beans and the ornamental beans, are
It's first cousins. Some of our most
valuable field crops, notably alfalfa,
red, crimson, alsike and white clover,
are first cousins once removed, and
every wild flower that has the butter
fly blossom is more or less distantly
related.
Really, we have immense cause to
be thankful for many members of the
leguminous plants. AS field crops
they form the finest kind of hay and
pasturage, and they are the only cul-
tivated plants that possess the power
Of transferring nitrogen from the air
to the soil. Without them it would be
practically impossible to keep our soil
productive.
In the floral field, this family is not
so numerously prominent as some
other groups, but the Sweet Pea
makes up for any shortages in num-
hers by its rare merit.
No flower viii grow better under as
many varying conditions as this one.

TransmisslbiIity of Genius.

The sale of relics of Robert and
Elizabeth Browning by executors of
the estate of their son, the late Robert
Weidemann Barrett Browning, which
began May 1, again calls attention to
the fact that the child Of union so
richly lowered, from the literary
and artistic standpoint, failed to show
traces Of the genius of either parent.
He was an artist, but did nothing ex-
traordinary. 1t would almost seem
that genius not only has a way OF
sonnet times consuming It's possessor
but also Of consuming itself, as far
as the immediate offspring are con-
cerned. At any rate, the evidence az
to its transmissibility is still lacking
although, of course, there are plenty
of facts to justify a belief as to the
transmissibility Of special talents.

Garden in Hot Weather.

When hot weather visits us the fate
of most gardens hangs in the balance.
At this time, the garden needs our
care more than at any other and we
feel less like giving it the necessary
care. The weather is hot and the air
is still, and hammock in a shady
nook looks better to father than any
Man With the Hoe" tableau, especial
ly after hard days work Remember
that the kind of weather that gives
you very tired feeling, makes the
weeds grow rank and bold and dries
the garden soil until it is almost wa
terproof.
Probably you feel that you don't
need the exercise nearly as much as
you did in the spring, and probably
you are right; at the same time it will
do you good if you take it properly,
and you cannot afford to have the
garden go to pieces just when little
work will pull it through in grand
shape.
Get up half an hour earlier than
instead of waiting until the tired even
tide or trying to lump it all into
weeks end job. A little daily work
in the cool Of the early morning will
send you to your regular bread-and-
butter job feeling many times better
than that little extra sleep would.
Gone is that brown taste-gone the
dead-alive feeling that the long sti-
fling summer night brings.
Nature is at her loveliest while the
dew is on and half the fun OF garden
ing is getting close to nature. Do your
gardening before you are tired out and
enjoy it to the utmost.
We have previously told you what
to do for the weeds, which, like the
poor, are always with us. Unlike the
poor, however, they need no assist
ance, but the strongest possible re-
sistance, because they are altogether
too we'll able to fend for themselves.
Cut off their heads, cut off their
feet, burn their middles, and do it be-
fore they have any offspring. Then
start in and do it all over again, be-
cause they resurrect mighty fast If
given the slightest opportunity.
Keep the soil surface in dry, pull
verified, NEEDLESS condition, and never
let it harden. Pull the weeds out Of
the rows, where the hoe cannot reach
them, because they do more harm
here than between the rows.
If the garden shows lack of moist
ure, it must be furnished, and the best
way to do this is to irrigate at night.
This is better than sprinkling, be-
cause the water soaks in deeper and
evaporation is much less at night than
in the daytime. A thorough soaking
once a week Is plenty and the soil
should be- cultivated the next morn
ing to hold the water.
This, then, is the time when soil
full of manure is appreciated. Il
holds more water and does not bake.

HER "BEST FRIEND"

Mrs. Jason Waters daughter, Miss
Ellen Nixon Vain, now the Baroness
Jacques de Meyronnet de San Marc,
is the chatelaine of one of the beauti-
full homes of Paris, and by reason OF
her own charm and the distinction of
her husbands family she has won
high place In exclusive Partisan so
ciety.
There are many who will recall the
beautiful wedding in the Church OF
the Redeemer at Bryn Mawr, when
the lovely Gertrude BerWind, daugh-
ter of the wealthy coal family be-
came the Baroness Bocklin Won Book
linsau. This was an unusually i'm
portant matrimonial event, for the
baron's family is one of great emf
nence in the kaiser's domain. The
young nobleman at his wedding gave
evidence of the much-discussed Ger
man "thoroughness," by replying to
the clergyman's various questions in
the marriage ritual in so loud and
firm a voice as to be heard in all
parts of the church, circumstance
which caused many to smile, since it
afforded so marked contrast to the
usual TREMENDOUSLY whispered answers.
Two Sisters Marry Nobemen.
Two sisters, Mary and Clara, of the
famous and wealthy Roberts family
whose classic-looking home at Nine
teenth and Walnut streets is such a
JOY to those who love the simplicity of
the antique, married noblemen of
much distinction. The former is the
Marquise dEskens de Frenoy, now
living in Paris, while the latter, who
died last September. was the Countess
Goffredo CALI an Italian, whom she
met while he was consul to this city.
Miss Myra Dick is another Philadel-
phian who chose a Frenchman of title
for husband, and now as the Mar
quise de Breviaiere d'Alaimcourt she
occupies a high place in the social life
of her adopted country. Then there
are the Baroness Won Friesen, who
was formerly Miss Florence Smith,
and the Countess Georges Ginoux de

daughter. Miss Elizabeth Cochran
The Count and Countess Traugott
Won Bethusey Hue live in medieval
state near Breslau, Germany, and It
will be recalled that their wedding
ceremony was carried out with an
elaborate regard for ancient family
traditions. The countess was a Miss

Another of the leaders in the group
of titled American women now dwell
ing in Paris is the Viscountess Jules
Henri de Sibour, who is a daughter Of
Charles W. Bailey of 21st and De Lam
cey streets, and who takes an active
part in Partisan society.
Mr.. and Mrs Alfred c. Harrison's
