Pretty Spots of Green.

Did you ever see, in the cindered
stretches that border most railroad
approaches to large cities. neat little
plots of green and growing things
Sometimes these plots will take the
form of a diamond shaped bit OF green
with a small tree growing in the CEN
ter. Sometimes a grass border will be
used to break the monotony of the
neatly raked cinders. Sometimes shrubs
or Towering plants will be planted.
Whatever the bit of green Is, it is
refreshing to the eye and spirits And
sometimes it appears in a seemingly
impossible situation. Unshaded, open
all day to the glare Of the hot sun, I'M
shielded from wind. constantly swept
with dust and cinder-laden air, one
wonders how it is possible to keep
these bright spots in perfect condition.
Systematic care is what the railroads
give to these green and growing plots
Sufficient water, a fair start without
weeds and good stock produce results
without great expenditure of labor And
observing the same conditions, anybody
can develop green plots to make the
summer pleasanter. On a temporary
wooden structure which holds the crane
used in some extensive excavation work
in New York city there Is a little
shanty for the Waterman; and by its
door he has a barrel, filled with good

| Novelty in evening frocks is recog-
nized in unique touches rather than
decided innovations. Many designs ap-
pear to be something entirely new at

trimmings or an eccentric touch of

uEGuestionably modern and modish de-
sign.
The skirt, il may be seen, is quite the
simplest of modes-straight breadths,
evenly gathered all around the waist
In this case the material happens to be
a very fine cream colored wolfe with
a scalloped and simply embroidered
border. The usual swiss or batiste en-
broidered flouncings can be used equal
ly we'll, provided an extra sheer and
delicate quality is selected. To break
the length of the skirt, two Serpentlne
rutfies of the wolfe. finely pleated, are
applied about it's width at the hip line
and the knees. The ruff1es are about
five inches deep and the spaces between
the undulations are filled in above the
ruffle by quaint little wreaths of pink
roses.
The bodice consists largely of very
deep girdle of orchid faille made over
boned lining. There are short, pulled
| sleeves of wolfe, with the scalloped
edge outlining the decolletage and the

The Water Garden.

Most persons who love flowers have
longed at some time for water gar
den, but very few attempt to create
one.
There appears to be widespread
impression that water lily growing is
an expensive pastime and one that re-
quires considerable skill. AS matter
of fact Il very charming little water
garden can be made with the aid of a
tub and a garden hose: and the lilies
are not difficult to grow. If you have
only small space. few tubs or haiI
barrels sunk into the ground ABOUT
three quarters of their length viii lur-
nsh the easiest beginning. Put these
in the sunniest spot, and plant hass
and other moisture loving plants
around the edges. Fill two-thirds OF
the depth of the tubs with rich SOIL.
Three parts loan and one part well
rotted COW manure is a good mixture.
Cover the soil with half an inch or
clean white sand and turn in the
water.
After the tubs are filed with water
let them stand for two or three days
until the water is warmed by the sun
to the same temperature as the air;
then set in your lilies. After the roots
are in the tubs be careful that the
tubs are kept well filled with water
as evaporation is rapid
HARDY water lilies, callas. sweet
flag, water poppy and water hyacinth
are good plants with which to begin.
For the margins of the tubs flower

Economy in the Laundry.
| have heard recently of several young
brides who started out with the inten-
ton of doing their own laundry work
for the first year, at least For girls
who have not been accustomed to

The inexperienced woman must lay
out the laundry work very systemat-

All unnecessary labor should be elm

towels for the silver, but hot water
and drying racks for the china and
glass and rolls of absorbent paper for
the pots and pans will eliminate the

or grass linen will save materially on
tablecloths, if you use them at lunch

Towels are another item that can be
managed economically for the woman
who has to do her own laundry; race

equally well all purposes and it does
