AN EVENING Off
BY LOUISE OLIVER.


Priscilla laid Geralo junior in his
crib, tilted the bottle to just the
proper angle and snatched soft lit
nc t-Aakerchief out of her belt just
"a time to prevent 4 very bitter tear
from dropping down on to the wee
pink cheek on the pillow.
Gerald senior had Just gone out,
slamming the door as most males do,
considering the same fitting finale
for a marital row. This was their
first quarrel, and Priscilla felt that
the earth was shaking under her feet
She slipped into kimono and sat
down by the window. 1t was not quite
dark, but the street below was very
quiet; so was the little fat-just a
soft, contented sound from the crib in
the corner. The silence added to her
loneliness. OF course little Gerald was
the dearest. sweetest, most precious
darling in the wide world, but after
she had cooed and kissed and patted
and rocked all day, to say nothing of
the ceremonious bath and airing in the
peramhulator, she felt it her privilege
to associate with people of her own
age, after baby had settled himself to
sleep al night; preferably Gerald
senior, but--and this was what the
trouble was all about-he had drug
store, and no one could be trusted
with the precious prescription factory
from a. m. until II p. m. daily but
himself Priscilla was left to amuse
herself as best she could
Suddenly someone threw up win
dow in the building next door and
strains of music came floating over
to her. She raised her own window
in order to hear better 1t was a
waltz, and, looking up, she caught a
glimpse now and then Of passing
dancers.
Gerald junior was sleeping now. She
took away the bottle, covered him
snugly-and then she went to her
desk. Long ago she had tucked away
an engraved card somewhere in a
pigeonhole She found it under the
baby's weight chart.

FOR THE WINDOW GARDEN
BY PRISCILLA PAKE.

All the hardy Towering shrubs may
be started by roofing cuttings, and this
should be done early so the plants will
be well established before the cold
weather. Such plants started from
cuttings will bloom much more quick
ly than those from seeds.
For roofing oleander cuttings, split
the stem little way and push a bit OF
cotton between the parts, then place
in a bottle of water, hang in warm
shady place, sheltered from the wind.
Wrap black paper or cloth about the
bottle to exclude the light, and bide
your time. Replenish the water, if
necessary.
Acacia lopantha is one of the most
beautiful, fernlike plants, is easily
started from seeds, and will "show up"
beautifully when only a few months
old. The flowers will appear the Sec
ond or third year, under good treat
ment. The plant requires plenty Of
root room, will grow to be quite a
tree and is long lived.

beauty given by proper arrangement.
Ornamental shrubbery can be effec'
lively used and the successful cultiva.
tion of this shrubbery depends upon
the simple principles of ordinary gar
dening: First proper preparation OF
the ground-which is merely digging
or plowing foot or two deep and
seeing that there is supply of fer
tile soil. properly drained.
A good dressing of well-rotted stable
manure spread over the surface of the
bed and dug in will achieve wonders
The second point of Importance tc
consider in planting is whether yor
want to have done with the work once
and for all or whether you will care
fully tend the plantation for the nexi
few years. The ideal way is tc plant
little thickly-that is. to plant few
more than can later ON be comfortably
accommodated upon the space, and tC
thin out in succeeding years as the

PERENMI.ALS AND HERBACEOUS
PLANTS
BY E. VAN RENTHuYsEN.

6y Es VAIN BEN SEiNs
There is no class of Towering plants
more desirable than the hardy peren-
malls and herbaceous plants, like the
hydrangeas. the peonies, the holly
hooks, golden glow, spireas and iris.
These plants require but little at
tention, and for those who have not
much time to devote to, the, garden,
there is no class more desirable.
Most of them will do well in ordi-
nary soils and flourish under condi-
tions unfavorable to the satisfactory
development of ANIMALS,
The ANIMALS should be left to those
who are here this season and away
next. For the permanent residents
it is we'll to consider the merits Of
this class of plants. eaa
The cultivation of a collection of
hardy plant is urged in preference to
ANIMALS because the latter class will
not prove satisfactory unless good
deal of time and labor are expended
on them.
One of the prime arguments in fav-
or of the perennials is-that once es-
tablished your plants are good for an
Indefinite period. Your garden does
not have to be made every season.
About all this class of plants will
ask of you is that in the spring the
plants will need to be worked about
and freed from the grass which will
encroach upon their territory, If al
lowed to do so, the soil will require
fertilizing, and once in three or four
years the old plants will be bettered
by division of their roots.
A great many of these can be at
tended to in a day, and the work is
much easier than that of making beds
and pulling weeds. Il 5ae4
One of the best perennials is the
hydrangea. The coloring is beautiful
and it lends itself to massing and is
lovely in all its stages. from the first
tender green. through the pink and
rose stage on to its russet coloring in
the fall.
The hollyhock is another favorite.
It comes in wide range of colors-
white, rose, crimson, maroon, and soft
yellow-it is a profuse bloomer and
does we'll in almost any kind of soil.
Double hollyhocks are mostly in
favor these days, but the single ones
are well worth the cultivation. Cut
off the old f1ower-stalks, as soon as
the buds on them have developed,
and quite frequently new stalks will
be sent up late in the season.
In this way one may have. holly

HOME GROUNDS BEAUTIFUL

While in the North, East and middle
West it is impossible to achieve tho
beautiful effects possible in the South,
there is much that can be done to
improve the appearance of the
grounds around our homes.
The huge palms that grow so won
derfully in southern California and
lend beauty and charm to the southern
home are not for US in their exotic
prodigality of growth. But, a lesson
can be learned from the planting OF
these huge palms. The accompany

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About the Food

When there's no relish to food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do
any good then is the time to make a
turnover in the diet, for that's Ma
ture's way of dropping hint that the
food isn't the kind required.
For a number of years l followed
railroad work, much of it being office
work of trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest; and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and res
taurants, together with the sedentary
habits, were not long in giving me dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble which re-
duced my weight from 205 to l6O
pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more ate the
poorer l got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much / had eaten.
Then commenced trial of Grape
Nuts food, and was surprised how a
small saucer of it would carry me
along, strong, and with satisfied appe-
tite, until the next meal, with no sem
sations of hunger, weakness or dis
tress as before.
81 have been following this diet now
for several months and my improve
ment has been so great all the others
in my family have taken up the use
of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfac-
tion and much improvement in health.
Most people eat hurriedly, have
lots of worry, thus hindering digestion
and therefore need a food that is pre-
digested and concentrated in nourish-
ment!"

hooks until late in the season.
Seeds planted in May, June or July
will give one dozen Of plants from
which flowers may be expected the
following season.
Great clumps of golden glow or
rudbeckia make an exceedingly rich
show of color. For weeks it is solid
mass of golden blooms, and for cut
ting we have few better flowers.
The spireas should be more extern
sively grown. 1t would be difficult to
find more exquisitely lovely flower,
with its great plumelike panicles of
airy, pink bloom.
The iris should always be given a
place in the amateur gardeners col
lection. 1t must have somewhat
moist location. The Japanese and
German varieties have remarkable
colorings.
Perennial phlox should be in the
collection and ought to include doz-
en- of the most distinct varieties. This
is the geranium of the outdoor gar
den. 1t grows easily and is a profuse
bloomer.
Hardy pinks are good. readily OBJ
tainable and easily grown. Unless you
desire immediate effects all the kinds
here mentioned will bloom the second
season from Seeding plants.
Now is the time to think of your
garden for next year and if you have
been restoring to annual planting try
making permanent beauty spots.

Hawaii COTTON
FUTURE MAY BE
AIDED BY u. S.
Department of Agriculture to
Turn Attention to Eradicat-
ing BoII-Worm

Hawaii's promising cotton industry
struck disastrous blowsseEera years
ago when the boII-worm began a
series of ravages that could scarcely
be checked, may revive again through
the efforts of the department of agri-
culture to eradicate the pest from
those sections where it has found foot
hold, as well as to prevent its further
spread.
According to news from Washington.
the rules and regulations in regard to
the Importation of foreign. cotton lint.
which were discussed at conference
in Washington on April 20, have now
been promulgated by the Secretary Of
Agriculture The regulations are sub
stantially those which were submitted
for the consideration of representative
cotton merchants and manufacturers
at the conference. The date when
they become effective, however, has
been changed from June l, 1915 to
July 1, 1915, and the regulation re-
quiring fumigation at the port of en-
TRY has been omitted for the present.
The purpose of these regulations is
to prevent the entry into the United
States of the boil worm, which, in
those countries where it has gained
foothold, has proved to be one of the
most destructive of cotton pests. 1t
is frequently found in the cotton seed,
and as some seed is almost invariably
mixed in the lint, it is not considered
safe to permit unrestricted importa-
tons of the latter. The new regula-
tons provide for the entry of foreign
cotton under permit. limit the sale and
delivery of such imported cotton to
mills which have obtained license
for its use, and require these mills to
adopt certain measures in order to
obtain their licenses.
Fumigation of cotton at the port of
entry will probably be required The
regulations on the subject, however,
the extensive experiments now under
way to ascertain the effect of fumiga-
ton are known.

| cheney of the treatment as a means OF

to Hilo Bay The peculiar rig Of the
vessel made those people who have
been around Java waters Immediately
think of steamers of the same kind
that often can be seen among the east
ern islands, trading from one to the
other. The vessel slowed down for
pilot and then came up the bay to
anchor. She was found to be the Ma
verick, and Los Angeles is claimed
as her home port. Captain Nelson is
in command.
The vessel has mixed crew of
Mexicans, Marshall Islanders, Solo,
mon Islanders and Javanese. The Of
ficers are white and the captain
claims that they are all American citi-
zens. He added, when questioned,
that his ship is from Mexico and that
he cleared from the port of San Jose
del Cabo on April 81 The vessel some
time ago stood off the port of~Los An
geles, according to the captains story,
but did not enter. A boat went ashore
and transacted business at that port.
