The making OF a vegetable garden is an
exceedingly interesting matter, and 1t re-
pays one amply for trouble taken. First
of all, the growing of the vegetables
themselves is fascinating, and all the
time one finds new things to learn.
Moreover. the vegetables can be turned
into money, for there always will be a
demand for homegrown stuff. The
housewife is constantly in need of fresh
vegetables.
For the making of vegetable garden,
one really ought to start in the fall and
carefully prepare the ground with a
good manure. The soil should be thor
oughly dug, the manure laid on and al
lowed to stay all winter. This should be
done before the ground is frozen.
AS a fertilizer use ground bone or
bonemeal and wood ashes combined
with manure. Many people like to have
a combination vegetable and flower
garden. and this does seem an attractive
arrangement, because the study of both
vegetables and flowers is an inexhausti-
BILE matter
The planning out of the garden should
really be done on paperi lettuces and
radishes, for instance, being sown half
and half in one bed, while the second
and the fourth beets.
1t is good plan to have the front beds
planted with flowers, for these screen

smart air to the garden
Nasturtiums always look well and give
a garden a very gay and cheerful APP
pearance, They climb over everything,
too, and have delightful habit of COW
erlng all sorts OF unslghtly spots, even
rubbish heaps.
Scarlet runners are also beautiful and
make a gorgeous splash of color, while
others that might be mentioned are
phlox. seablosa, verbena and nicotiana.
Late corn should be planted after the
lettuce and radishes are out, and then
more lettuce. corn salad or endiye after
the beans are out. In this way the veg
etable garden keeps one very busy and
affords constant occupation. Naturally,
one wishes TO have the land in use all
season.
If radishes and lettuces are sown in
the first row they may be followed there
by the sowing of middle-season corn
Similarly when the early beets are out
OF another row, they may be followed by
caulihower or eggplant.
The bed in which tomatoes are grow

tween the tomatoes, so that all available
space is fully utilized. The tomatoes will

A RECENT newspaper case Illustrates

Although the wife had really built up
her husbands business through her own
ability, for Ave years he consistently ILL
treated her.
Finally the lady summoned up sufficient
strength Of mind to take the case to
court, whereupon the husband. who had
been suffering from bad attack of pro-
fesslonal jealousy. due TO realizing that
his wife's brains we're the better of the
two, was commanded to make an allow

his child, who, of course was left in

herself and was pretty successful therein.

Another gown-the only one of its kind
az the price-is made of sheer organdie,

imaginable. The skirt is alarmingly
