A good size for an amateur will
require four sashes to cover 1t. be-
feet long. (There are two sashes to
each frame.) With a hotbed this
size you will be able to raise an
enormous amount of fresh vege-
tables and flowers. Do not attempt
to build the frames. for they can be
purchased already made for much
less than It will cost to make them.
Paint the sashes In order to preserve

Of water IL it was put out early

the fire at the start.
Teach children to lie down IL their
clothes are afire and cover them
selves with rug or blanket. This
prevents the air from increasing the
flame. Drag blankets, sacking, or
rugs and lay on the fire in case of
emergency. No fire can exist with
out air. A pail on the porch Is
worth more than two in the yard

think this over. and at least get a

Twill Blood Tell?"
Lubin.)

TARRY DANE meets Rose Le-
- clare. with whom he falls in
love. Harry knows nothing
of his family or parentage.
Concerning Rose he has no knowl-
edge beyond that, like himself, she
is a resident of Philadelphia. and
that she is visiting the college town
with her father. The love affair
progresses and Harry communicates
to his guardian his intention of mar
rying. The guardian at once inter
views Mr.. Leclsre. He tells the
father that Harry is the son of a ia
nous thief. and that. while Harry. SO
far. has demonstrated none of the
criminal traits of his father, he. the
guardian. deems it his duty to inform
the father before he agrees to the
marriage Harry cannot be inform
ed of this presumed. faint in his
blood.
Leclare communicates this inteIli-
gence to Rose. The girl does not be-
lieve in hereditary traits. She tells
the boy that she and her father are
not the wealthy persons they seem
to be. but successful crooks: that
this life is too delightful to her tn
dream of giving 1t up. To prove his
love. he must join her in robbery
which she has already planned to
execute. Harry is Mortified. but his
love prevails over his scruples. They
go to Philadelphia and the robbery
is accomplished. The jewels are en-
trusted to Harry, Rose declaring that
as she Is suspected she dare not keep
them. Whether or not the heredl-
tary faint is shown in the finish of
the play in a series of well-acted
scenes.

W cry few amateur gardeners
" are familiar with the posi-
bilities of growing plants in
hotbeds or cold frames. They i'm
asine that It requires expert knowl-
edge to accomplish satisfactory re-
suits, when in reality very little ex-
perimenting will teach you all there
is to know about this type Of gar
dening.
This is the season that awakens
the impulse to start seeds growing in
boxes to place in the sunny windows
of our homes. Why not prepare
hotbed and gain a start on nature
before the time for planting out OF
doors arrives? In this manner you
can satisfy the longing to dig in the
soil several months before the frost
has entirely left the earth. 1t is al
ways a problem for the amateur to
know Just the proper time TO plant
seeds in the open, and this bit OF in
formation may prove Of help. Peach
and plum trees blossom in an aver
age temperature Of forty-five degrees
in the shade. and vegetable seeds,
Sucn as Deets, CdDDdSc, Cduiillo"cis
lettuce, onions and radishes, will ger
inmate IL planted at this time. When
the apple trees blossom. the tempera-
ture is sixty degrees. which Is the
time to plant tomatoes, beans, corn,
potatoes and vegetables of this type.
Flowers are more tender and there
fore require a warmer temperature,
SO walt until the apple blossoms have
fallen before planting flowers out OF
doors.
The advantage of the hotbed is that
you can have the pleasure of seeing
the plants grow for weeks before
YOU could think Of starting seeds.
To make hotbed successfully
there must first be subframe OF
stone, brick. concrete or material OF
this type, Embedded in the soil to re-
tain the heat. The pit should be dug
four feet deep. and at least foot
larger than the frame you intend
covering II with. The next step Is to
provide proper drainage, and then
the subfrarne Is built. A brick or
concrete frame is the most satisfac-
tory, for both are virtually indestruc-
tible. when using concrete 1t Is

She was almost heartbroken when
she found that she could not get

As you See in the picture she is

Now the attic was Tottie's favor

about the house for a while, and
tried to make some of the beds.
But she kept thinking about the
attic. She went out into the garden
and put oyster shells around the
border, but she Thought about the
attic.
1t wouldn't hurt to just GO up
in the attic. Grandmother said not
TO play there. I'll Just GO there.
The only other place to play is
under the house, and Grandmother
said NOT to go under the house.
So she made up her mind to suit
herself.
She climbed up the narrow stairs
and watched Grandmother ont of the
windows for some time, but she
wanted to look In some of the old
boxes sitting about.
Wouldn't it be great fun to dress
up in some of the old clothes, She
began looking In the boxes and found
some dresses that seemed 20 be made

trunk too many.
Far in a corner sat trunk which
looked as II II had never been opened.
Sic tiptoed over, and raised the lid
very slowly, then gave a meow of
delight which stopped right of
where il had begun.
On top of the old books and dresses
were some of the very toys YOU see

birthday. and she had spoiled Grand
mother Tabby's surprise. In a mo-

she had been too curious. ''Oh,
