CARE OF THE FLOWERS
BY HELEN WATTS M'VEY.

Burn all ripened weed seeds.
Remove all roses before the petals
fall
Keep all seed pods off of plants in
tended for bloom.
Tree-peonies are gross feeders and
require deep, rich soil.
Encourage sturdy growth and pinch
off all struggling, branches.
Too rich soil encourages growth at
the expense of bloom.
Rambler roses should be trimmed
moderately as soon as done Towering.
If dry weather sets in, do not neg
lect to stir the soil and mulch.
This is important.
Half the plants which refuse to
grow for amateurs are starved to
death, or killed by kindness.
Adjust the knives of the lawnmower
to cut within two inches of the roots
Of the grass.
When watering plants, do not force
the water against the plant; let it fall
in the form of a shower
Do not neglect to mark the wild
flowers NOW which you wish to
transplant later in the border.
Stir in about the roots of the tea
roses a little finely powdered bone
meal.
Pick the blossoms of pansies, mas
turtiums and sweet peas every day.
If allowed to seed they cease to
bloom
or, oh
caladiums, etc., a thick mulch of
strawy barnyard manure and plenty
of water insures success.
Pinch back the tops Of the scarlet
runner; see that all climbers have
support, and watch for insect pests.
Stake the tube roses, gladioli, dab
las and other plants likely to be
blown down by the wind or broken
by storms.
Lily and other bulbs are apt to split
up into small bulbs if the drainage is
clogged, or the soil kept too wet
Keep the chrysanthemums in a
shady place during the summer, water
regularly, pinch into shape, prune and
train. Keep the plant free from in
sect pests.
To root an ivy geranium, make a.
hole under the leaves of the large
plant, set the slip about three inches
deep, allowing three joints to be IN
der the soil, and they are almost sure
to root
Give liquid manure only when the
ground is moist; the roots cannot alb
sorb the fertilizer when in want of
water; hence, the giving of fertilizers
during drought often results in the
death of the plant.
In time of drought, if water enough
to soak the ground is not to be had
regularly, it is better to give none to
most plants, as in that case plants

The "ReStfuI Lunch"

A custom observed by many employ
ers is that of serving the seamstress
in the middle of the afternoon with tea
or coffee and crackers or sandwiches
or, in the summer, with cool drink.
This attention as well as the "restful
lunch" is sure to be appreciated. In
bad weather or even on pleasant days
if the family carriage or the motor is
at the door or is not being used, it is
easy to have the coachman or chauf-
feur take the tired seamstress to the
nearest subway or elevated station or
home as the case may be.

will adjust themselves to prevailing
conditions
II surface waterings are given dur
ing dry weather, the surface roots
will start to receive it, and when it is
withheld these roots will die and the
plants suffer thereby.
If you wish to allow some especial
ly fine flower to produce seed tie
string around the stem so you will
know which one it is and remove all
other flowers as they fade.
In trying to save seeds of many
plants, tie a little cheesecloth bag
over the seed pod just before it ripens,
so the pod, when opening, cannot scat
ter the seeds. Many plants, how over,
do not come true" to seed
When the leaves of tea roses begin
to turn brown, cut the branches we'll
back and remove all leaves; healthy
new shoots will come out and the
plant will take on new life.
Do not allow the roots of plants
plunged in the border to strike
through the drainage hole into the
earth. Lift the pot occasionally and
turn around. See that they have suf-
ficient moisture and conditions suit
able to their best growth.
Cut away any old wood from the
roses and stimulate the roots. Guilt
vate the soil and enrich with wood
SCOT, old rotted COW manure and
mulch with litter and lawn clippings.
Give plenty of soapsuds about the
roots, but not on the foliage.
Do not neglect to SOW seeds of
perennials now; the sooner the better.
They should have gone into the ground
in June. Seeds of perenniais germi-
nate more slowly than those of an
nuals, and should be given time.
For the window-box and veranda
there is no plant better than German
or parlor ivy. 1t will keep it's dense
foliage until hard freezing weather
sets in. 1t is practically drought proof,
a rapid and satisfactory grower, with
beautiful foliage
Keep down the green fly, caterpil-
lars, bugs, worms by the liberal use
of insecticides, plenty of hand work
and untiring diligence. Today's vic
tory may only precede tomorrow's de-
feat if you lay down your arms.
If you have no chrysanthemum
plants, go to the florist and get half
a dozen. Set them in pots, keep
shaded for a few days, then plunge
the pots in the earth in some out-of-
the-way place, leaving an inch of the
pot out of the soil in order to water
the plant; turn the pots every day or
two to prevent the roots striking
through into the earth through the
drainage hole.
A layer of coal ashes under the pots
will prevent this, and also prevent
worms getting into the pot. Give the
plants a weekly dose of liquid ma
nure, applying only when the soil is
we'll wet; water freely and keep clean
of insects

CHAPTER <.
The Turn of the Tide.

From time immemorial the history
Of the popular hero has ever been the
same. To king and patriot, to the
favorite girl at school and the small
boy who is leader of the gang" to
politician, to preacher, to actor and
author, comes first worship then
eclipse. The great Napoleon did not
escape this common fate; and the pub
lie idol who was kissed only yesterday
for his gallant deeds is scorned today
for having permitted the kissing. Oh.
caprice of the human heart! Oh, cry
of the race for the unaccustomed!
From that first anniversary Of his
entrance into the home, Abraham felt
his popularity decrease-in fact more
than decrease. He saw the weather.
vane go square about, and where he
had known for three hundred and
sixty-five days the gentle, balmy feel
Of the southwest zephyr he found him.
self standing of a sudden in a cold,
bleak northeast wind The change be-
wildered the old man, and reacted on
his disposition. AS he had blossomed
droop in the shade. Feeling that he
was suspected and criticized, he began
to grow suspicious and fault-fnding
himself. His old notion that he had
no right to take a woman's place in
the institution came back to his brain,
and he would brood over it for hours
at a time, sitting out on the porch with
his pipe and Angy.
The old wife grieved to think that
father was growing old and beginning
to show his years. She made him some
tansy tea, but neither her persuasions
nor those of the whole household could
induce him to take it. He had never
liked "doctoring" anyway, although he
had submitted to it more or less during
the past year in unconscious subservi-
ence to his desire to increase his popu-
larity; but now he fancied that where
once he had been served as a king by
all these female attendants, he was
simply being "pestered" as a punish
ment for his past behavior with Blossy.
All, with it's surprising ending that
had been humiliating affair; and he
felt too that he would be long in for
giving Mrs. Darby for not having con-
fided to him her actual Intentions.
Now he was afraid to be decently
courteous to one of the sisters for fear
that they might accuse him of light
dalliance again; and he scarcely ever
addressed the new member who came
to take Blossy's little room, for he had
been cut to the quick by her look of
establishment when she was told that
he belonged there.
In his mental ferment the old man
began to nag at Angy. Sad though it
is to confess Of hero honestly loved,
Abraham had nagged little all his
married life when things went wrong.
And Angelina, fretted and nervous,
herself worried almost sick over
fathers condition, was guilty once in
a while out of the depths of her anxi-
ETY. of nagging back again So do we
hurt those whom we love best as we
would and could hurt no other.

driving up to the front door came to
Abe's ears. Still Angy made him no
response.
"Angy!" he raised his voice in pite-
Gus pleading. What mattered if the
sisters gathered in the lower hall
heard him? What mattered if the
chance guest who had just arrived
heard him also? He had his peace to
make with his wife and he would
make it. "Angy!"
She flung the door open hastily. The
signs of the tears had not been obliter-
ated, and her face was drawn and old.
Straightway she put her hand on his
arm and searched his face inquiringly.

she whispered. abe, yew made mis-

his arm around her and, bending,
brushed his lips against her cheek.

ingly, II didn't mean no harm. | can't

Before Angy could make any reply,
Blossy called to the couple softly but
insistently from the foot of the stairs;
and Angy, wrenching herself free,
fastened down the steps, for once in
her life glad to get away from Abe.
He lost no time in following No mat
ter where Angy went, he would follow
until all was well between her and him
again.
But what was this? At the landing.
Angy halted and so did Abe, for in the
center of the sisters stood Blossy with
her Sunday bonnet perched on her sill
yer-gold hair and her white India
shawl over her shoulders, and beside
Blossy stood Capt. Samuel Darby with
a countenance exceedingly radiant,
his hand clasped fast in that of the
aged beauty.
"Oh, hurry, Sister Angy and
Brother Abel" called Blossy. I'VE
were waiting for you. and I've got
some news for all my friends" She
waited smilingly for them to join the
others; then with gesture which in
cluded every member of the household.
she proceeded: "The pink tea, want

celebrate the anniversary of Brother

her right SO coy glance that Samuels

apples. Il left the tea a trif1e early

beside Angelina, rooted in astonish-
ment, while Blossy continued to adj
dress him directly. "You gave Samuel
so many good recommendations, dear
brother, that when the time ap-
preached for his June visit, l felt that
l simply could not let him miss it as
he did in December. Last year, on the
day you entered, he was here through
no desire of mine. Today he is mere

included the entire home in her glance,
we'll come back little later to say
good-by. Now, we're on the way to
the minister's"
The pair, Samuel tongue-tied and
bewildered by the Joy of his finally
won success, moved toward the door.
On the threshold of the home Blossy
turned and waved farewell to the COM
panions of her widowhood, while Sam
uel bowed in a dazed fashion, his face
still red as 1t was bhssful. Then
quickly the two passed out upon the
porch. No one moved to see them
off. Abe looked everywhere yet no
where at all. Not word was spoken
even when the carriage was heard
rolling down the drive; but the sound
Of the wheels seemed to arouse Angy
presently Abraham became conscious
of tcuch-a touch sympathetic, ten
der and true-a touch all-understand-
ing-the touch of Angy's hand within
his own.
