in black are applied to the malines on

crown is soft, without supporting

made waterproof. it is thoroughly

They slip through the little openings
in the hemstitching that finishes the

proving its usefulness in the finish of
edges, where it often replaces mar
row hem or takes the place of button
hole stitching.
The vestee and collar combination,
either open or closed at the throat, is
cooler looking than even the open
throated waist worn without it. Some
Of those made with a high collar are
left unfastened at the throat and turn

cause these small accessories are so

Two Of the vestees and collars

fasten with tiny pearl buttons that

LITTLE GARDEN NOTES
Always Use Very Best Seed OBJ
tainabIe for Every Crop.
Scatter SCOT Around Stems Of Plants
as Slug Antidote and for Plant
Food - Cultivation Kills
Weeds and Admits Air.
By ELMA IONA LocKE)

E0dS WALL SprOuL at 10 u0SF0eS.
Always plant the best-not the
cheapest seed you can get for every
crop.
The garden should be near the
house and surrounded with a good
woven-wire netting fence to keep the
fowls and other garden pests out.
II the garden must of necessity be
on a stiff, clayey soil. mix all the
coal ashes and sand obtainable with
it; they will mellow it up wonder
fully.
A hard crust over the soib prevents
the rain and heat from entering. AL
ways keep the surface of the soil
loose.
SCOT is a good and safe fertilizer
for nearly everything. Scattered
around the stems of plants, making
the soil black, acts in the first place
as q slug antidote and in the next as
plant food.
Bonemeal is excellent for vines
and fruit trees, and three or four
ounces may be applied to the square
yard.
AS soon as a crop of any kind ap-
pears above ground it needs cultiva-
tion, both to kill the weeds and to
admit the air to the roots of the
plants
It is useless to plant beans until
the ground becomes warm. If they
come up and they are chilled they
turn yellow and never amount to any
thing.
Lima beans, Telons and other ten
der vegetables may be advanced two
or three weeks by starting them in
pots or bits of inverted sod in hot
