PEAS AND BEANS.

No garden 10 complete without
peas and string beans. The only diff
ference In the two. botanically. is
that peas are hardied and a cool sea
son crop, while warmer weather IL
required by the moro tender bean.
Atmospheric nitrogen goes into the
making OF both. and II any amount
Is TO be grown IL IL advisable to use
a fertilizer containing this quality.
Garden peas are easy TO grow.
They do best In spring rather than
In the hotter months and also
thrive IN fall from late sown seeds
Even before freezing weather is
past peas may be sown. They
should be planted from three to Ave
inches deep. The pea Is one thing
that will thrive best in soil that
IL not too rich. A strong soil tends
TO make plants run to vines and de-
lay the crop. Servings may be made
at intervals OF six TO. 10 days
throughout the growing season TO
obtain a continuous crop.
For the early crop the dwarf va
rieties are Ideal. In handling the
taller and later kinds the grower
will do well to practice pinching in
the excessive growths. This as
sures a larger and quicker yield.
Two or three civilizations during
the growing season are usually sui.
ficient peas. They can be sown from
six TO eight inches apart In rows.
The plants should be from three to
four inches apart In the rows. II the
dwarf varieties are grown. each
plant will tend to support the other.
But N the taller kinds are attempt
ed. chicken wire between rows will
prove excellent support.

New Cake Covers.

While there Is no immediate need
for cake covers, the present is good
time TO prepare them. since one has
more leisure now than In warm
weather. Odds and ends OF lace for
making the covers can be picked up
cheaper now than when fly time ar
riyes and the protection becomes
necessary.
The octagonal has been the popu-
lar shape for many seasons. but this
year round frame with a dome top.
something like a bird cage. has made
it's appearance. II is a change from
the old shape. but I do not think II
is as pretty. Besides. II reminds one
entirely too much OF the tarlatan
bird cage cover put on TO prevent
the seeds from dropping through.
There Is a wide band OF lace set
around the frame and another wider
strip Joined to the top OF the first
band, wide enough to reach the top
OF the frame. which. by the way. il
best described as being bell-shaped.
Then the free edge OF the lace Is
gathered and drawn together very
closely under an ornament placed in
the center. This can be ribbon
rose, a rosette. artificial fruit, or
whatever the sewer pleases. The
cover itself is always OF white lace
and preferably filet, probably for the
reason this lace has loose mesh.

TODAY'S
HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS
THE TEA WAGON
BY MARY LEE

IL your family is small. and you
are doing your own housework, or II
you wish TO save your maid some
steps, let me tell you Of the advan'
tages OF the tea wagon. You have
seen them advertised. and perhaps
have regarded them a. merely ex.
pensive adjuncts TO the afternoon
tea. not at all necessary in your
simple domestic economy.
I dined recently al a small studio
apartment where the bachelor maids
do their own work. and noted how
smoothly their domestic arrange
ments progressed because they ran
on wheels--the wheels OF the tea
wagon. whereupon II seemed TO me
that the possibilities OF the tea
wagon had been overlooked.
When dinner was served the des-
sert was set out on the tea wagon.
which was a spacious affair. with
two large shelves and two smaller
shelves between the others at the
back and front When the dinner
proper was finished the tea wagon
was drawn up. the dessert taken OF.
and all the other dishes were piled
on the wagon and wheeled aside. No
one had to move from her place
while the change was made and the
plan obviated the uncomfortable
feeling that sometimes affiicts a
guest when the hostess is forced to

BY JESSIE ROBERTS.

Lately a young woman, she is not

OF man prominent In civic and SO

We are not interested in the ad.
vice. What does interest US, all of
us who are business women. is the
fact that one young woman. working
at her own idea and starting in the
smallest way, has succeeded In max.
ing an income bigger than she cares
for.
Her starting point was the fact
that she could cook well. She com
bined this gift with the intelligence
to recognize the value Of fad--a
good fad--the growing interest in
fcod values, in the proper proportion
of calories and the other constitu-
ents Of nutrition. She opened a
small, laboratory kitchen. Her menu
vas arranged according to the
amount of the different scientific
contents in the various foods. You
could get exactly the right amount
OF calories or what else you wanted
by glancing over the menu. In add.

STRAW BE RRIEs.

The backyard gardener may
prepare this year for strawber-
ries next year. Plants can be OBJ
tanned from nurserymen and set
out late in the season. On the
small grounds they are placed
every foot In rows two feet apart.
Planting can be done with
spade. trowel or dibble. The
plant should be placed so the
bud Is just above the surface.
During the first season the run
ners and blossom stalks should
be removed. The second season
gives the big crop. although good
plants will produce heavily In
the third year. Large growers
grow corn between the straw
berry rows the FIRST year. In the
winter the bed must be covered
with a straw mulch TO the depth
OF two inches between two rows
and one inch over the plants.
