pEOPLE who make it their business
 to find fault with the rising gen. eratton tell us that modern children have no manners. They are allowed znors freedom than is good for them and are encouraged to talk openly and simply before their elders. Their tastes are consulted and their wishes consid- cred in a way that must surely be morally and mentally hurtfuT to them.
 Now, there are two sides to every question, and in this case there is much to be said in favor of the abused mod fewer prim little tricks than his grand father possessed, but it does not fol- low that he is less courteous,
 The maligned American child whose pertness has been skitted in hundred comic papers and bewailed in as many serious tracts is really not such a bad little person after all He may be rath- CT forward for his age. but at least he is simple and fearless. It never occurs to him that he need blush or giggle or writhe himself into knots when he meets strangers. He marches through life with his head up and his shoulders squared. taking things pretty much as he finds them and lending for himself with a large amount of common sense which is often disguised by a careless manner.
 The shy, tiHnid./ awkward boy of the past generation compares very unfa- yorably with this specimen The mod ern child is not nuisance to the adult who meets him for the first time. Ii Is not always necessary to make con- versation for him You do occasionally meet one who seems capable of enter taining himself in a rational manner And this state of greater ease between children and adults is largely the re- suit of the greater freedom which peo-

eyes. The effect of this color is not deathlfke. as might be imagined. but it gives the skin an indescribable tinge of lavender that is rosy, yet far. too, from pink. With this new complexion and the fashionable gray hair Paris is going beyond itself. As in the time of Martha Washington, the white or gray haired beauty now rules.
 B1onds do not adopt the gray wig, or, at least, those with gray or hazel eyes do not. The gray hair looks best with the black or brown eyed heroine, and, as a matter of fact, only such co1orfngs in Paris adopt the wig. The wig is anointed, then waved lightly.

 freshing dessert. As in all des- serts calling for cantaloupe, only those of the finest flavor should be used. Cut the melons lengthwise. in halves or thirds. according to size. Remove the seeds and spongy tissue. Fill each with slices of fresh peaches. Decorate with two or three maraschino cherries and the Hqior in which they come before serving.
 Occasionally when fec cream ts served with these melons the pulp 1s scooped out, diced and favored and then returned to the shell with the cream and other garnishes. The vari- ous davors are in that case more likely to be amalgamated if one considers that desirable. Usually the havors in such sweets are better for being kept distinct.

HAVE you bought your new faH
 complexion yet? You had better get busy, for you won't be able to wear your last seasons one. as styles in skin colorings have changed completely, says a Paris correspondent.
 In the afternoon women who follow the modes anoint their faces not with white or cream powder. but with yell low paste, which makes them look like Indians once removed. The skin is not red, and it is not yellow eithers but a dark rich color is the result, and, real ly, after becoming accustomed to it. one grows to find the white face faded

This complexion came to stay at the Grand Prx, one of the great French race meets, where women wear their newest styles in froclxs and comp1exious- Since this meet half the women seen in fashionable attire wear the yellow skin. It is becoming to both bIonds and brunettes. though especially to the latter.
 Tn the evening the saffron is not the complexion desired. for under arti- hcia1 light the color loses it's clearness. so violet hue is used. This tint, like the others is fascinating, and conpli- ments are returned. for the violet looks best on the woman of 1ightish hair and

USEFUL NOTES ON
LATE GARDEN WORK
After Crops Are Removed All Old
Vines. Plants and Weeds
Should Be Removed.

II is a very good plan TO mulch the
rhubarb plants with a lot Of corn
stalks or coarse grass This will pro
tect the plants during the winter, and
also keep weeds from choking the
plants if kept on after cultivation IN
the spring.
Unless great care is taken IN the
selection of homegrown seed. it is
wiser to buy them of a reliable seed
rouse
After the crops are all removed
tom the garden, rake up all old vines,
plants and weeds OF every descrlp
uon. and burn them.
Soma people say that It is better
to allow the old vines and even the
" ecds to rot on the ground in the
tall. but we think it better to clean
up thoroughly and use stable manure
to supply the necessary humus
II weeds are allowed to lie in the
garden over winter, the seeds viii be-
ready for business in the spring long
before it is time to plant vegetables
# celery is TO be brought into a
storage house for the winter, cut the
tap,root, lift 1t from the ground, and
then with a strong knife cut off the
branching roots and most Of the
earth
Ii the garden Is to have heavy
coat Of manure, why not apply it
now? Manure should be put on be
fore the ground is turned over. In
che spring a good disking or work
with a spade will put it in fine condi.
dtion
Rhubarb should be removed from
the open garden with as much dirt
clinging to the roots as possible They
should then be placed in two or three
inches Of soil. and the spaces between
the roots filed up with soil vel
sprinkled, and left to mature in com
parative darkness A kerosene lamp
set on the floor in the cellar, will
supply all the heat necessary. E

Tho peach fruit spot first appears

eighth to oEe-quarter of an inch in dia-
meter and is generally round. 1t then
has a very dark, almost black center
around which ia dark brown ring,
and the outer margin of the spot is

The upper portion Of the peach as
it grows on the tree, seems TO be af-
fected more than the lower portion.
This shows that very likely the spores
come from the branches above those
upon which the peaches grow. The
trouble is always worse in closely set
orchards where shade is dense. and it
i also found to be worse il the center

to the more moist condition found in
