START A BULB GARDEN.

J Last August. Just, as war was Dc.
clared. Holland had thousands and
thousands of bulbs ready for export.
| War and garden-making do not &c
very well together. and so many oi
Hollands thousands of bulbs were left
had much of the burden Of the wal
to bear last winter. So now an appeal
has been made to US all to buy bulbs
for most of our bulbs come from
Holland, and Holland needs our sup
port.
| Why don't you combine plea sure for
yourself with the feeling that you are
helping the prosperity of thrifty lit
| tie Holland and start a bulb garden
Get the order for your bulbs in right
| away and then in September get to
work to make your garden.
The beauty about n bulb garden Is
that 1t can be largely left to itself
after 1t is planted That Is to say, II
does not need the careful wedding and
tending that other sorts of garden
need. And another thing. bulbs will
| flower in place too shady for a per-
ennial or annual flower garden, for
bulbs flower early. before the leaves
are out, many of them. and the shade
| is not dense at that time of year.
Some bulbs will increase in size
from year to year. Some need to be re-
| newed every year or two. And half the
pleasure of the bulb garden will come
from learning the habits of the diff
ferent bulbs.
For instance. narcissus and dafYo-
dis OF all sorts increase in size with
time. Therefore they make a good bulb
Tor naturalizing. If you have a grove
Of trees where the grass is not kept
cut short. plant narcissus bulbs and
danodils of all sorts in it. Clump them
about the tree trunks, or sprinkle
them carelessly here and there. They
Will be lovely however they are plant
ed. And by the second year they will
look as natural as the dandelions or
violets that grow in the grass and
their clumps will increase in size.
When the leaves have turned yellow
the grass and the leaves can be moved
or cut without injuring the bulbs
Bulbs are lovely. too. in the hardy
border. for they come. many of them.
before any of the other flowers. II
you plant carefully you can have a
whole garden of bulbs-from snow
drops and scillas in the very early
spring. through the long list of early,
medium and late jonquils and daffo-
dis. tulips and narcissus and anem-
ones. to the iris and lilies of vari-
Gus sorts. The lilies will keep this
bulb garden Towering through Au-
gust.
1t is necessary to dig the soil deep
for bulb garden. 1t should be well
drained, and If your drainage is poor,
it is worth while to remove a couple
Of feet Of top-soil and dump in a layer
of sand to help the drainage. Then
no fnn hoc nd 1,-hA ~,
ing the bulbs put a handful Of sand
in the bottom of each hole you make
before dropping the bulb in.

Nothing exeites more criticism than
woman with her face all daubed
with face powder in her desire to
hide faulty or an aging skin. In
stead of using powder, which clogs
and enlarges the pores, it is far better
to use good face lotion that will
improve and permanently benefit the
skin. By dissolving four ounces of
spurmax in nalf pint of hot water
you can make an inexpensive lotion
that will do wonders as 4 skin white

moves all shininess, sallowness, and
roughness. and gives the skin a
smooth. velvety tone, while it does
not rub of easily like powder, nor
does ii show ON the skin.

Mrs. Kiham.

Mary Kilham, who was born August
l., liza, was one Of the pioneer mission
aries Of England. She spent her early
life in Sheffield. England, and was for
the first part Of her life a member of
the established church of that country.
But in her teens she was much attracted
to the Wesleyans and every Sunday
morning attended their early service,
later attending, her own church. At the
age of twenty she openly Joined the sect
with which she had long been in SYM
pathy. At the age Of twelve she had to
shoulder the responsibility Of being at
the head of the house, for her father
and five brothers. owing to her mothers
death. Two years later her fathers
death left her homeless, and she was
sent to a boarding school. where she
made rapid progress.
At the age Of twenty-four she was mar
ried to Alexander Kilham, as his Sec
ond wife. He was the founder Of one
of the Methodist sects. His death. eight
months after his marriage. left her a
young and portionless widow. She was
not long in finding a way to earn her
own living and opened a day school
which proved very successful. She spent
all her vacations at Epworth, the rally
ing place of the Methodists or Wesleyans
Within a few years Of her widowhood
Mrs. k1lham met members OF the So
ciety Of Friends and was 80 drawn to
their teachings that she became one Of
their number. She continued her teach
ing after this but she devoted all hsr
spare time to philanthropic work. An
organization started by Mrs. Kilham
about this time, The Society for Bet
tering the Conditions Of the Poor" serv-
ed as the model for many similar Or
ganizations later on.
Gradually Mrs. Kilham's interest IN
foreign missions increased, and in 1877
she devoted much of her time and
energy to reducing the unwritten Ian
guages Of Africa to print so that natives
of Africa might be instructed in Christi
anity. Finally. Mrs. Kilham decided to
go out to Africa herself and sailed to
Sierra Leona with another missionary
and three native sailors whom she had
met in England. In Africa she estab-
lished schools and taught Christianity.
Three times Mrs. Kilham went to
Africa from England. and the last time
with permission from the English gov
ernment to take charge of all children
rescued from slave ships by the Eng
lish. In order to accomplish this she
established schools. Her good work was
cut short abruptly as the result Of
stroke of lightning while cruising from
one point In her mission field to another
Mary Roberts Rinehart, the prominent
magazine writer, was born in Pittsburgh
thirty-nine years ago today. She start
ed life as a trained nurse, married a
physician, and then began her literary
career.
