BY Mary Lee.

of lettuce leaves, with a little French
dressing poured over all.
The Suburban Lawn.
1t has been said that to cover a
lawn space with a hardwood floor
would be cheaper than 1t Is to keep
the same space covered with grass in
good condition. And this Is not far
from the truth. Our climate is not a
good one for developing lawns. Grass
needs great deal of moisture.
The climate Of England. cool and
damp. is ideal in this regard. and the
English Bowling greens and lawns
that have had generations of care are
green from early spring until late
autumn. Here the hot, dry summer
and protracted long droughts make
beautiful lawns impossible unless a
and irrigation.
The little suburban lawn patch that
is so green and pretty In the spring
usually becomes dry and yellowed
eyesore under the scorching sun of
midsummer.
Less Of lawn and more of bushes,
trees and flowers are to be preferred
for the suburban lot. SO that such
grass space as there is may be kept
up properly. A very small green
sward, adequately cultivated, Is far
more beautiful than a larger space
that cannot be properly watered and
cared for.
This is the time to attend to your
lawn. Bonemeal and wood ashes in
equal quantities constitute a good
spring fertilizer. II there are bare
spots in the lawn, spade them up. add
manure, and SOW grass seed as quick
ly as possible. A pint measure of
seed will cover $50 square feet of new
ground. The soil should be rich and
well pulverized. Sow the seed when
| the ground is fairly moist-not wet
and roll after seeding. If you are re-
seeding only. less seed will be re-
quired; but thick sowing is desirab
Where dandelions have sprung up
they should be carefully cut out from
| the roots. and as these make excellent
| greens for the table you should be
| able to arrange with some boy to take
| them out for the money he can get
| by selling them.

Every One Admires This
Good-Looking Woman,

Wherever you go you hear peo-
pie comment upon pretty woman
and it is really beautiful hair
more than perfect features that
gives the appearance of charm,
youth and beauty.
ANY woman can merit this
praise, for beautiful hair Is only a
matter of, care. Just as plant
needs attention and nourishment
SO must the hair have care and
nutriment to make it grow long,
thick. soft. fluffy and lustrous. The
scalp must be free from dandruff.
and the hair roots properly nour-
ished. as nature intended.
Partisan Sage. which is deli
cately perfumed and easily applied.
Is just what is needed 1t tones
up and invigorates the roots of
the hair and furnishes the neces-
sary elements to make 1t grow
long, soft. abundant and full of
life
One application Of this scientific
tonic removes every trace Of dam
drum and cleanses the hair of dust
and excess oil.
Why not start now to beautify
your hair by using Partisan Sage,
the great tonic treatment? 1t Is
inexpensive and easily applied at
home. 1t can be had from O'Don-
nell's Drug Store or any drug
counter. and will surely work a
miracle even If the hair Is dam
druny. oily. faded. streaked. dull
and lifeless.

DESIRABLE SIMPLICITY

There is much sound reasoning in the
plea for simple diet. And in spring,
especially, every housekeeper should
make an effort to simplify the diet of
the family she caters to. For in spring,
when an abundance of fresh vegeta bles
begin to come into the markets, when
the system Graves refreshing, rich and
spicy foods are a mistake. In the win
ter they seem sometimes necessary;
certainly they appeal to the winter pal
ate But the very fact that the spring
palate Graves crisp and fresh foods
shows that the heavier ones are out
of place at this season
For breakfast. fruit should always
form a part Of the spring diet Oranges
and apples are not SO easy to get at
this season, and berries and other sum
mer fruits are not yet here. but prunes
steamed figs and dates, cooked apples,
stewed rhubarb and occasionally good
oranges can be found Fried ca kes
spring dietary. Crisp buttered toast
and light mullins are in keeping with
the season. Eggs and broiled bacon
should take the place of meats
Fish should be used frequently for
dinner in place of meat, and one fresh
vegetable should be served at dinner
every day-tomatoes. spinach, young
carrots, green onions. sliced Bermuda
onions young cabbage carefully cook
ed, stewed lettuce, asparagu tboiled
creamed), radishes, string beans, boiled
onions. and any other fresh. green
vegetable. Salads of all kinds should
be eaten frequently Salads form ideal
spring luncheon dishes. and as differ
ent salad can be devised every day for
a month without much trouble, they
need never grow monotonous Fish
faxed and mixed with French dress
ing, minced green pepper and celery,
tomatoes garnished with celery. green
pepper, diced cucumber, crumbed eggs.
olives, radishes, nuts and green onions,
cold cooked cauliflower, asparagus.
spinach, carrots and string beans
dressed with French dressing and
served on lettuce. and cold peas, corn
cut from the cob. and other later vege-
tables with lettuce. and such other
greens as endive. kale. chicory and
water-cress are all delicious salads.
Fresh fruits should form the spring
dessert as often as possible. Gelatin
desserts, custards and water ice or ice
cream are other light desserts that are
far preferable to heavier puddings and
pastry that pass muster in the winter
time.

Satin Used to Temper Serge.

There Is tendency to substitute a
soft quality of faiIle for satin. but the
latter fabric holds it's own if we can
Judge by the number of French models
that are being copied everywhere. The
employment of silken material in
combination with serge makes the
frock possible for warm climate.
Every one does not wish serge suit
or frock thin and light as it sounds.
for our springs are not equabl in any
part of the states and there are days
in April when serge blouse is uncom-
Portable.
Another reason for blouse of thin
fabric is it's comfort under a jacket and
the ma ajority of models that inspired
the new American clothes have short
coats to go with the one-piece frock
built up of satin or silk and serge.
The sketch gives striking example
Of how much style can be accumulated
in one gown by clever manipulation of
the two fabrics. The model was Great
ed by Georgette, one of the youngest
and prettiest of the French artists,
who wears such good-looking clothes
herself that no one follows her lead
with hesitation.
Wherever she appears in public
there is little group of persons fol-
lowing at safe distance, sketching
and memorizing. This gown, given
here. is deservedly popular, because it
Is practical and artistic.
Ingenuity at Waist Line.
The Georgette frock has a blue serge
Evening star., 1915-04-06

skirt fastened from knees to hem with
large buttons at the end Of V-shaped
gusset which is used to fatten the
front width. The slim bodice is mill
tary and the silk cord and buttons are
placed above the waist line. The nov
city in belts is worth copying. It Is
used on several gowns this season and
promises to be one of those minor de-
tails that are popular.
There are two patent leather belts
quite narrow and fastened in front
with small silver buttons. Above this
is band of braiding to give that DOM
mating effect of a bolero jacket.

BLACK SATIN AND BLUE SERGE.

NEW YORK. April 5.-The combna-
! ton of blue and black. like that of
blue and white, never fails to please
women. 1t remains in the best of
taste throughout the decades as fash
ins swing to and fro.
Throughout last winter it was ac-
cepted by the majority, who speedily
learned that the days of riotous color
ing were over; at least they were tenn
porarily suspended. All the world was
painted in somber shades and the dress
of women reflected the general tone
Such departure from the proceed
ings of the last three years was on the
whole better condition. Strong color
like the pen, is mighty in the hands of
the great. but it leads to much foolish
ness In the hands of the ignorant.
This spring we watched with a good
new fashions. which would proclaim a
continued reign of Somber colors or a
squirt into brilliant colors. The house
of Callot made this squirt. but it was
Paris and therefore we can look ahead
with confidence. knowing that blue.
black, white, beige, gray and mauve
are to be the colors offered to US.
The only departure is made in even
ing clothes. Here the Bourbon in1u-
ence. toward which we seem to be
tending, is very evident. We are>play-
ing at being shepherdesses at Trianon; !;
we are trying to look as though we
had been done by Watteau; we are

you prefer China silk. It consists
merely Of a shallow bodice Joined to
slightly gathered skirt. Over 1t the
first two long tunic fiounces are gath
cred, making the skirt really double;
the third fiounce that completes the
skirt length Is only rufiie gathered
to the under slip.
The corsage is very simply shirred
around the top and the sleeves are
diminutive puffed ones. shirred and
looped down over the bare shoulders.

pose is chantilly or shadow.

II black happens to suit you. it can
be used In evening gowns as attrac-
lively as any color that ever grew or
was invented. In fact, there are some
women who consider black the color
for a handsome gown. though, OF
course, 1t IL hardly youthful.
Many of the black net and lace frocks
are particularly bewitching since they
look less somber in their diaphanous
transparency than do opaque silks and
velvets. Even in youthful evening or
dancing frocks. black net. tulle, lace
or chiffon is often most successful.
AS an example, the one here illus
trated is all that can be desired in the
way of effective simplicity. and indeed

that at this juncture an invitation
from Germany to the United States to
enter the field, is a much more serious
matter for Germany than would be an
invitation from Germany to Italy and
Roumania combined.
One of the ablest bankers in this
country says:
eff Germany can brighten the United
States by a transatlantic sub marine
warfare we deserve to be frightened;
l. we permit our defenses to interfere
with the defenses of others, we had
better think before we commit suicide;
but if it comes right down to business,
it is not our navy yards and arsenals
that will do the work, but the credits
we can vote by the billion.
France today would undoubtedly
like to borrow half billion at five per
cent in the United States. If we had
to go to war, l think that she might
get billion here at four per cent very
quickly, and get it direct from Uncle
Sans treasury"

scored two in the sixth and one in

ninth it began to look like Fleet was
going to be shut out but on account
o. Brooks wildness and timely hitting
two runs were scored by Fleet After
earning two runs Fleet filled the bases
with two out. 1t was at just such an
opportune minute that Harry Stearps,
second baseman, stepped up to the
plate. Oh for hit! But Stearns was
not equal to the occasion and was
tossed out at first by Brooks. The
batteries were: Brooks and WesthaI
for Flat Rock, Dull and King for Fleet,
This game was the third and decid-
ing game of the series and was fought
for very hard by obth sides. Schuess1er
