Usino Hedues Profitable.

The hedge 10 ons of the most valu-
able landscape assets that we have.
and at the same time one OF the most
abused. Tremendously popular twenty
years ago. 1t fell rapidly into 'disuse
about the same time that the front
yard fence began to be abolished. The
ornamental hedge is beginning to
come back to Its proper field now. and
we trust that 1t will be more generally
used. in Its proper place.
The formal hedge. particularly the
evergreen hedge. has not place on the
small lot. 1t is as much out Of place
as six two-story Ionic pillars in front
of portable bungalow. And that
means that hedges Of any kind are In
bad taste on most small lots.
II the house itself is not close to the
sidewalk. or 1t is desirable to use a
hedge on a small lot because of un-
usual conditions. use a low. informa,
hedge such as barberry or Japanese
ounce.
The great field of the hedge is as
a beautiful boundary partition on large
grounds, or as a screen to furnish pri.
vacy and shut out disagreeable views.
In such locations the evergreen
hedge cannot be surpassed, because II
is equally effective in winter and sum.
mer, its life is from fifteen to twenty
years, and 1t forms an excellent back
ground for deciduous planting.
Use American arborvitae for the
lower hedges and hemlock for the tree
hedges. The effect ia somber and the
view from the house will be bright.
ened by planting few Colorado blue
spruce and line of red barked fiow.
ering dogwood against the hedge.
More graceful and cheering effects
can be secured by putting in Califor.
mia privet, barberry or Japanese
ounce, and they are fully as satisfac-
tory in their own way.
For screens nothing. can surpass
hemlock or some of our beautiful de-
ciduous shrubs. such as the hardy
iilacs and syringas.
In moist, cool regions, such as pre-.
vail along the coast line of New Eng.
land, the boxwood plant is almost uni
versally used. and 1t makes hedge
as smooth and solid looking as a bank
of turf.
flRntinB directions vary Win tne
season, the soil and the plants used /;
hence we cannot cover them all in this
article.
Hedges may be planted successful
ly at any time of the year that the
ground can be worked, but spring and
fall are the best times. lie sure to
fertilize well and plant thickly enough.
About SIS worth of plants will make
an ordinary hedge 200 feet long.

DANNY COSTUME MUCH LIKED
Short Wraps Of Delicate Fabrics Have
WorthIIy Engaged Attention Of
Fashionable Women.

The little wrap known as the man
telet" has been adopted by Paris with
an enthusiasm not surprising when the
beauty of the models is seen. They
are combinations of lovely line and
color and In the supple moire, benga-
line, silk tapestries and brocades they
give a decided decorative note to an
afternoon or evening costume.
The short bolero with position
back Is one of the favorites. although
longer mantelets give more protection
and for that reason should appeal to
women who desire utility as well as
beauty.
The kimono sleeve seems to be ia
vored above all others. coming in ell
bow, three-Quarter and full lengths. 1t
is finished with deep cuff In most In
stances. The dropped armhole is used

a variety of cut and draping are inn
portant features. One collar of soft
silk is draped over the shoulders and
caught in under cabochons or orna-
ments of cord. Another collar at the
back completely covers the back in
the for-l of a draped hood of soft
moire that is weighted down by heavy
tassels.
Cutaway lines in front are used.
These give good freedom in walking
and allow manteau to be longer at
the back than at the front.
Blue. taupe, gray and mixtures In
colors are the shades most favored.
These harmonic with any color In

These mantelets have earned niche

the topcoat. which will never be dis

CRAZE NOW FOR LAVENDER
Has Wonderfully Caught Fancy Of
Those to Whom Money 10 an OBJ
Ject Of Little Moment.

There is a perfect craze for laven-

Gus tastes and the money to indulge
them are using dressing table sets of
lavender enamel. picked out with
white, gold or silver. and scarfs. pin
cushion covers, handkerchief and
glove boxes of lavender satin yelled
with shadow lace dyed to match.
Women who possess a similar love
for lavender but have not the means
of purchasing It in enamel and tne
lace, furnish their dressing tables

The Roman pearl buttons are ap-

All sorts of fabric buttons are being
used, even the old-fashioned serge
covered buttons. There is a demand
for the button covered with hand
made lace for use on lingerie gowns.
The buttons are practical as well as
dainty. for they are washable. They
are made over bone foundations, an
Improvement over the wooden molds
formerly used. Buttons crocheted
with a novel knot stitch save bright
floral decoration in the center. Upon

suits in your campaign to protect your
own family from impure milk is to
thoroughly investigate the source of
supply and see that the milk comes
from healthy COWS, and is handled
in such way that 1t reaches you
within twelve hours after milking that
1t has not been warmer than so de-
grees since milking, and that there
has been no possible chance of dust or

Milk, when taken from the COW In
the proper manner. is as clean as any
article OF food that we have. The
sooner it reaches the consumer and
the fewer hands it has to pass
through, the smaller the opportunity
for foreign matter and disease germs

SUMMER HATS LARGE
SMALL HEApeEAR NOT TO BE A
FEATURE OF SEASON.
Advance Designs Shown Are PIetur-
esque In the Extrsms-Fiat Trim
ming 10 to Be the Prevailing
Rule for Coming Fashions.

Now that the milliners are begin
ming to show their bef6wered and
lacy midsummer models. the woman
who feared that the vogue for the
small headgear of spring would be
carried over into the summer. finds
that such is not to be the case. The
midsummer hats are large. graceful
and picturesque, to accompany the
prevailing styles in summer frocks.
Stiff brims are not factor in the
newest designs. On the contrary. the
more flexible. even fioppy. the brim OF
the midsummer hat. the more will 1t
conform to fashions decree. The
brim should droop at the front and
lack, rather than at the sides. The
wide-brimmed models. fatty trimmed.
with their low crowns encircled by
flower wreaths. are reminiscent of the
quaint hats worn by the grandmoth-
ers of this generation In their girl
hood days.
Flat trimming Ia the rule on large
hats. Grace. rather than audacity.
seems to be the ideal of the modish
milliner, and. therefore. one sees
fewer of the upstanding Numidie and
aigrette trimmings so popular this
spring. They are replaced by flow
ers. plated tulle. swathed lace and
softly knotted ribbon, the traditional
adornment of the midsummer hat.
Roses have come into their own
again and the big. rose wreathed hat

the summer. A charming model Of
this sort has been sent over from
Paris to add Its quota Of grace to 4
