Street Costumes and Tailored Suits

THIS is tho undecided weather which
l. sends a woman through the stores
with a view to remodelins her last
years spring frock of blue serge or
taffeta. 1t is easy to find profusion of
charming styles in many of the shops.
and the most attractive thing about them
is the fact that combinations of two ma
terals-chiffon and serge, taffeta or
Gabardine-are great help to the homo
dressmaker.
A stunning little street frock is made OF
navy blue tatleta, with somber trimmings
in sand-colorcd faillc This was made in
a modification of the Puritan style, with
a narrow little coatee OF blue, with a
broad Puritan collar of tho sand color.
The bottom of the coat was made in n
peplum, with a slashed edge, piped with
the sand faille. Small buttons up the
front of the bodice were the only trim
ming. The skirt was very full and the
hem was made of more of the faille. laid

VULNERABLE POINTS
Are Men Vainer Than Women?

livery human being has his or her
IL particular falling for no one in
the world can lay claim TO perfection.
And vanity is, perhaps, the greatest
weakness and the most vulnerable poin.
Of all.
There Is no such thing in the whole
world as n human being totally without
vanity. Are men vainer than women?
goes the question. And many women are
only too willing and ready to answer in
the affirmative
It must be conceded that man Is cs-
sentialy vain creature. His vanity
takes a different form perhaps from the
particular brand peculiar to woman, but
II is very much in evidence all the same.
Where personal appearance is concern
ed, the average man certainly does not
appear to be quite so vain as woman.
But the only difference is that men don't
give themselves away in the whole
hearted manner women do. You don't
catch man, for instance, gazing sdelong
into every shop window he passes during
his peregrinations down the street. He
hasn't the time or the patience for
that sort of thing. But all the same, the
average man is remarkably concerned
about his personal appearance. 1t is n
subject of sufficiently grave import for
him to spend quite n lot of thought upon
It. And II you ever wish to really Of
fend some creature of tho male species.
the surest way to do so is to let him see
that you don't altogether approve of his
particular turnout OF the cut of his hair,
or. in fact, of some particular thing In
his personal appearance.
The girl with brothers can appreciate
this statement thoroughly. Has she not
suffered from the vanity of these self
came brothers times without number?
Has she not had to endure many, many
crosses in the form of agonized moments
spent in waiting until those brothers have
duly tied their ties and brushed their hair
and prinked before the looking-glass in
manner that would have maddened
saint7 The vanity of men Is a trying
proposition for a girl to tackle anyhow,
but the vanity of mere brothers is some
thing that could we'll be dispensed with,
as every sister knows full WE'LL
There are so many different types OF
vanity that it is difficult to distinguish
each one. It must be conceded that a
certain form is more of a virtue than a

The Garden in May

THE garden in May should be a place
i full of beauty and delight. For May
is Towering time, and the true gardener
revels in the richness of scent and color
around. In fact, there Is no pleasure TO
equal the pure JOY which the gardener
has when he sees the result of his labors,
and the plants and flowers a mass of
beauty on every side
OF course, there will he many disap-
pontments, but then in this world there
never are pleasures without disappont-
ments. Plants newly set sometimes act like
human beings. They suk and refuse to
bloom. Often it takes quite a year or so
for them TO get established after being
transplanted. Others become diseased,
take on species of blight, and no amount
of tending and watering will do them
any good.
To think out definite color scheme is
always good plan for the garden. 1t
isn't always easy to adhere to, for chance
seeds of another color will get I'm and
flourish so trumphantly that one hasn't
the heart to weed them out To manage
the color scheme of a garden Is delight
full but difficult matter If a strong color
effect is desired, from dozen to about 30
plants of each variety should be there.
One must also study each plant inti-
mately For instance, If you wish to
have one bed entirely blue, you must keep
careful record of the date of bloom of
each plant. Under normal conditions they
appear each year promptly to day
Often. however. the season is late or cold
rainy weather defers their growth for II
week, or a hot, dry season forces them
along. All of these things must be taken
into account by the garden enthusiast.
Many amateurs are worried over the
question as to how to make things grow
near the house on a hot, dry, stony soil
A stone wall about three feet high built
south or west or southeast of n bed
shades the roots of the plants from the
suns too hot rays, and In its cool shade
evaporation does not proceed as rap
idly as in the open, and so the soil of

ToR several days after Bluey Black
IL bird started the quarrel with Tommy
Sparrow by wanting TO run the whole gar
den, Tommy and Billy Robin left him in
peace. Maybe If we let him alone" Billy
had suggested when Tommy told him
about Bluey Blackbird wanting all the
worms in the garden for himself, "he will
get tired and want company. Then he
will see that TO have company he must
behave himself He must be generous
and kind"
Tommy had agreed that that might be
a good plan; so they had left Bluey
Blackbird alone with his gory-and the
garden!
But after week of solitary grandeur,
Biuey Blackbiyd showed no signs of
mending his ways. He never called good
morning to his bird neighbors (as all
other birds did. he never invited anybody
to come and get worms in the garden.
"I think we've waited long enough for
him." said Billy finally. "T think the
only thing we can do is to drive him out
OF the garden. Birds as selfish as he de-
serve no consideration"
So Billy and Tommy talked the matter
put Bluey BlackblTd out of the garden.

modest robin, II think he ought to eX-

they flew down In the garden. Good
morning. Bluey Blackbird." said Billy po-
litely Cthey had agreed to give Bluey one

OF the plants which flower in May thA
columbine Is particularly attractive. This
is a hardy perennial and comes in every
variety of color and combination. Ths
tall stalks carry flowers which take ths
form of spurred cups. They are much
sought by bees and do best in rich,
sandy loan. The seeds should be sown
when they are ripe, and transplant the
seedlings where they are to remain, Civ.
ing each a space of nine inches each
way. The Colors vary from pale Lavender
to every tone of pink and red.
The forget-me-not is another NAV
flower and comes in white, sky-blue and
pink. 1t may be planted among hyacintha
or tulips, which will be out of bloom by
the time the forget-me-not is budding
The forgetme-not should have a rich
soil and a sunny position; when oncs
established. it reproduces itself freely
from self-sown seed.
In the month of May the Ily-of-the-
valley hourishes, too. 1t should have a
light, moist soil, enriched with leaf mold
Many people make the great mistake Of
thinking that this plant requires shade,
and it is, therefore. too often given
north exposure or United in a deserted
corner of the garden. This is quite
wrong idea. 1t should have lots of sun
and a warm shelter.
The Iceland poppy needs a good garden
