Of the thirteen fires during June
credited with having caused an esti-
mated property damage, by far the
most important was the Salem con-
tlagration, which Is figured to have
destroyed property valued at $13, OO0,-
600. Among the other large fires in
June were these:

The fire underwriters will in most
instances show a decided loss on 1914
business even if the latter half Of the
year gives simply a normal loss ratio.
Almost every stock company loses
something at least in the Salem con-

trinkets. etc, which II is necessary to
have nearby when dressing. There Is now
fad of covering them with filet lace
upon which are quaint English designs
resembling the real darned lace. After
you have made or purchased the silk
covered boxes, cut pieces of filet lace to
ft. and proceed to whip them over the
silk. The seams may be whipped to-
gether at the edges, and the effect is
most attractive. The silk. of course,
forms a splendid foundation for the
stitching OF the lace To the box. Some
times a silk cord is used about the edge
OF the lid to conceal the joining OF the
pieces of lace. II the room is blue. the
boxes should be covered in blue silk:
IL pink. the boxes should he covered

lows the color to show beautIiuny
through the lace, and altogether makes
fascinating bureau boxes. Sometimes
narrow strip of tiny pink roses is placed
about the edge of the lids instead of the
silk cord.

the wild SOW bread Of Italy. The bulb
grows TO an enormous size and the plant
is as hardy in the middle Atlantic States
as IL is in Europe. The exquisite bloom
and evergreen foliage are OF singular
beauty. One bulb in my garden in the
District of Columbia showed over a hun
dred blooms during its long Towering Sea-
son. The leaves lie fiat on the ground
like a mat OF ivy. The parks OF Eng

is interesting. The seed vessels on the
flower stems turn spirally downward and
return to the soil to form new bulbs.

the bost desirable OF the quick growing
kinds is the koelreuteria panlcullata, love-

cal in effect, with great masses Of yell
low wistaria-like blossoms suggesting the
English laburnum. The seed pods in late
summer hang like clusters OF hops, their
pale green color forming a delightful con-
trast with the dark foliage that surrounds
them.
The halesia tetrap is most lovely for
the lawn. This-the silver bell tree-is
wrapped in a cloud of bloom from which
extend golden stamens like the abuti-
Ion in miniature. We have a specimen
over fifty feet high with a trunk two feet
in diameter. II is a glorious sight III
May. The bloom is so profuse that the
young foliage is quite obscured. There
is a dwarf type that is also valuable for
the lawn.
The cross vine (bignonia Capreolata)
is the most graceful of all vines. 1t is
evergreen in the District OF Columbia and
its bronze, leathery foliage is most decor
ative on porch and pergola. The blooms,
large crimson throated golden trumpets,
hang in clusters. Sprays Of the vine
trailed along the picture rods and across
the lace curtains make lovely frieze
for interior decoration in the Christmas
season. The stems are tough and the
leaves OF great endurance.
In small gardens one is apt TO give too
much space to rambler roses. There can
be substituted for them with advantage
