within purview of the eight-hour law,
because they are officers, and not la
borers, the state supreme court has
directed that Mayor H. r. Albee, ar

more than eight hours a day, be re-
leased from custody. Incidentally the
court held that, were it conceded that
policemen and firemen were laborers
the law had not been violated, for
neither toiled more than eight hours
a day.

with tile, these houses are attractive

tivity with the expansion in industrial

features of the situation. Somewhat

purchasing power of the people and
confidence in the future is gradually

nature that prices in certain finished

Humaniziing Garden
Americans by Living More in
Their Gardens Will Gain
Increased Happiness.

TT HE garden in England is so
4 much part of the home that
the intimate and personal note,
which we might do well to observe,
enters into it forcibly. We need not
necessarily, as is the custom there,
shut out the unobtrusive gaze of the
passer-by by the thick hedge or high
wall, but at the same time it is wise
to arrange the garden in a rather Sc
cluded part of the estate or part of
the plot attached to the summer cot
tage.
An idea worth borrowing from the
English is their custom Of having the
long French windows opening from
the main living room Immediately
upon the lawn, where chintz cushioned
wicker chairs and convenient tables
carry into the garden the living room
effect.
The individuality which so asserts
itself in the English gardens every
where is obtained through allowing
each member of the family to exercise
some special preference as to arrange
ment, color variety of flowers, or per-
haps liberty to experiment with a
unique fad or fancy. This may result
in an unusual border, small cement
pool alive with goldfish or a minia-
ture fountain.
Let the children of the family have
the same chance that English parents
give their little ones. Encourage in
dividuality, give them a plot of their
very own and let them do with it as
they will. Call it the "Children's Cor
ner." Encourage them to plant old
fashioned flowers, which are almost
sure to bloom. unsupported artistic
talent may show itself when the time
for picking and arranging the differ
ent colored flowers arrives.
If Americans gave more time and
thought to the family garden life; il
they played games and drank tea with
their children in their quiet, peaceful
home gardens, as the English do, the
results would be worth while In the
increased peace and happiness and
/ poise of the entire family.

Spring Chicken, Panchard.

Cut a spring chicken weighing one
and a half pounds into four pieces.
Saute in butter and chicken broth to
which sliced onions, parsley, thyme
and bay leaves have been added, first
sprinkling the chicken with -four. Cook
twenty minutes. Then place the
chicken in a deep dish. Add to the
strained gravy two leaves OF gelatine
and little heavy cream to thicken it.
Basic the chicken with the thick
gravy and when it begins to cool pour
over it a thin layer of chicken jelly.
This is a very cold dish.
