OWN THEIR OWN GREENHOUSE
Leading Municipalities Are Beautlfy-
Ing Their Streets With q Profit
to Themselves.

Tree planting campaigns are being
carried on in many cities Of the United
States. resulting in profit and attract
iveness to these cities. In ST. Louis,
for instance. the estimated value OF
the 66,500 trees and shrubs turned out
In two years by the two municipality
owned greenhouses was Sl2,721.70.
The original cost and maintenance ex-
penditures amounted to $4,000, leaving
a net profit to the city Of $S.721. For
merly the park department was
forced to buy the trees they set out.
In Philadelphia. the Fairmount Park
commission. which has supervision Of
over $4,000 street trees in the city,
Is planning to turn many treeless
streets into shady avenues as a step
toward conserving life and health A
tree-planting campaign in Baltimore
in 1914 will be extended to the plant
ing of 1,500 trees, and during the win
ter all the dead trees in the city will
be removed. 1t Is estimated that by
planting seedlings the city will in the
course Of three years save many hun
dreds Of dollars each year.

Assures Thorough Training.

AS6uTC0 IHOIodSu
This seems rather a drastic idea,
but one can understand 1t. The Dun
can idea is that the body, and also
the mind, must be slowly but very
surely trained.
Little by little the pupils arrive at
a right way Of moving as well as
right way of thinking. They become
thoroughly strong and healthy. they
learn how to walk and run and jump
and dance. They learn how to appre-
ciate the beauties of nature-espe-
cially the beauty and subtle charm
Of flowers.
BY the time they become profes-
sional dancers they are as we'll trained
In all essentials as we're the Greek
women OF olden days. 1t Is a really
fine idea and everyone wishes the
scheme the success 1t deserves.
1t is little way from Greek dances
to Greek draperies. And the latter
become more and more fashionable In
Paris, where evening gowns are con-
cerned. Some Of the new evening
corsages are plated and draped IN
imitation of the famous Greek statues
at the Louvre and immense trouble Is
taken to obtain the correct "ligne."
Mold Garments to Form.
Some OF our Partisan dressmakers
go 80 far as to damp the fragile
muslins and then to mold them on the
forms Of courageous clients, but the
average woman OF fashion Is satisfied
with cleverly arranged imitation OF
the genuine article. Silk yelling and
Indian muslin are the two favorite
materials for such gowns AZ these
and the plaitings are OF the accordion
order. only finer. At reception
given by Countess de Casteja several
remarkably effective Greek dresses
were worn in conjunction with pow.
dered peruques.
One notable costume WAS composed
OF lemon.yellow silk yelling and there
were little garlands Of silver and
roses outlining the bust and waist.
The skirt and long tunic were both
closely plated and beautiful silver
sandals were worn over feshcolored

silk stockings. The hair was pow.
dered and drawn to the back OF the
head, where a bunch Of curls was sup
ported by a diamond comb.
This sounds like a fancy dress, but
It was worn at an ordinary reception.
1t is becoming very much the fashion
to adopt a sort of semi-fancy-dres for
ordinary evening parties. The young
Duchesse Dues inaugurated the fash
ion by giving series OF powdered
hair" and "colored-hair'' dinners last
autumn. Now every one adopts pow.
der and patches and colored wigs are
becoming quite ordinary.
Charming Millinery Models.
Two new millinery models Of con.
siderable charm have attracted atten-
tion recently. A little Lewis model
Is quite original In design. 1t is
shaped like a large saucer, and en-
tirely covered with fiat white silk pop
pies The narrow brim is composed
of leaf green chip, and there Is q
high mount in black horsehair.
This saucer hat, covered with flow
ers, ranks among the novelties Of
the season. They must be worn In
q jaunty way, rather on the side Of
the head, otherwise they look rather
ridiculous.
Altogether admirable was Flu.

The shape Is highly original, and the

Gratifying Prouress.

The current decade Is remarkable
for the generality Of the movement
among American cities In way of de-
veloping the public service equipments
and the improving of living condi-
tions. This march Of progress is not
an unreasonable reaching after Wis
ionary things, but is only In keeping
with the increasing populations and
the expanding wealth of cities. In
most instances the betterments are
based upon the perspective view
upon the consideration that the city
must grow. and that this growth must
be prepared for-but the betterments
are needful and are not being pushed
before the need for them has devel-
oped.

BASIS FOR HAPPY MARRIAGE
Writer Gives Reasons for Assertion
That Friendship Plays Most
important Part.

That there should be such involved
discussion and 80 many amazingly
contradictory theories about the cause
of the failure Of marriage is surpris
ing.
The plain fact Is that marriage is
beginning of history. This is so true
that Homer tells us the women of an
cient Greece reckoned their ages, not
from the birth date, out from the wed
ding day. A good many husbands in
this twentieth century are a good deal
more certain about the number Of
years their wives have lived sinC g
marriage than about the summers ano
winters they have numbered before
they became wives.
Failure to recognize the difference
between romance and history causes
failure of marriage. Romance is all
play; history Is serious business;
courtship Is pie; marriage is potatoes
says the Mothers Magazine. The
comedown from pie to potatoes some
times overstrains matters seriously
But, if this crisis Is safely passed, an
other awaits.
Love is the spice Of life, but friend
ship Is the nourishlng food, without
which life, except to unusual individ
uals, becomes burden. The marriage
which is all spice and no food soor
gives one, or frequently both of the
parties thereto acute indigestion
When the ecstatic emotions Of the
honeymoon have fled marriage must
find some other subsistence or it can
not thrive. And the only satisfying
food is friendship.-John Horace Lock

Dainty Arrangement Of Flowers.

Have enough flower holders so that
flowers may be put in every avail
able space until the flowers are used.
A fiat bowlful of nasturtiums on
big reading table, brass jar or daisies
in corner on the floor, tall, straight
glass vase holding coreopsis on the
tea table, two little vases with an.
nual larkspur on the mantle shelf and
a few white or yellow rosebuds in a
bud vase on the writing desk-this
sort of arrangement of flowers pro-
vides a treat to the eyes. The dis.
covery of one dishful of flowers after
another is interesting, and the flowers
help make up for the lack of drapery
and curtains usual in summer rooms.

FEDERALS HAVE
175 CONTRACTS;
READY To OPEN
Schedule Committee Meeting To
Be Held in Chicago Early
in March
By James Clarkson.

~HICAGO. Feb. 21.-It's always
calm after storm. Charles
w Murphy, Cub boss, wasn't
even at his office yesterday after
noon. consequently there are no spicy
interviews for your approval to-day.
Ban Johnson, the American League
eader was at his Office, but had alb
solutely nothing to say. The Fed
leaders were about and smiling. but
we're unable to spring any sensations.
It was. indeed, rather quiet day on
the baseball beat" but since the
scribes with the Cubs are sending IN
their interesting chatter the dear
baseball public will not want for news
pertaining to our great national pas
time.
James A. Gilmore, leading man with
the Federal League, was the only
baseball mogul we could find in Chi
cago yesterday who was willing to
talk. Murphy, as stated above, went
home at noon and failed to show
again during the afternoon at his Of
fice. He declares that he is now out
of the limelight and that his place has
been taken by his sterling young ath-
letes No tears will be shed over
said announcement.
The Fed boss informed us that he
now has 175 ball players under con-
tract. He refused to mention any
names, but as the ball clubs are now
reporting at their training camps the
fans can very easily get line on the
Feds. The National and American
League players who fail to report to
their respective managers may be
placed in the suspicious column" All
you've got to do is to check the play
ers off as they report at the spring
camps. Those who fail to report may
be regarded as Federal League posi-
bilities.
Mr.. Gilmore also told us yesterday
that the schedule committee of the
Federal League would assemble in
Chicago some time during the first
week in March. Now that the Ma
tional, American and Association
schedules have been announced, as
well as the international League
dates. the Fed schedule makers may
proceed with their work.
1t developed yesterday that one Ct
the Cubs young pitchers, ]. ]. O'Con-
nor was held up by highwaymen the
other night and shot in the back dur
ing a scufhe with the bad men.
O'Connor is a former University Of
Illinois athlete and last season per-
formed for the Terre Haute club. He
was signed by the Cubs last fall. The
report has it that while walking home
the other night on the South Side he
was approached by footpads, who de-
manded bunch of money. The lad
hadn't been given any advance money
and couldn't comply with the request,
whereupon, it is said he was shot in
the back Now he won't report to the
Cubs.

with the Barons last year, is a free
agent and might look well in Chap
mans role.
1t seems Dilger was knocked out by
appendicitis last year. underwent an
operation, was given his release
with pay from the club, however),

played some great ball there this win
