THE WINDOW GARDEN
BY E. VAN eENTHuYsEN.

Give the windows at which plants
are to be kept little attention at this
season. Go over the sash, and make
sure that the glass in it is well fas-
tened in place by putty. If any panes
are loose, reputty them. See that the
sash fits the frame well.
These little crevices are the ones
through which a great deal of cold
may come when the temperature drops
below zero and there is stiff wind
blowing.
1t is an excellent plan to fit the
windows of the dwelling with storm
windows--storm sashes. Not only for
the benefit of the plants, but the hu-
man occupants as well.
At windows protected by storm sash
plants can be allowed to stand against
the inner glass, on the coolest night,
without injury, as the air space be-
tween the two sashes is most eff
Gent non-conductor of cold.

HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS

Protection is the prime requisite for
increasing the number of birds in an
area, and the results of protection are
in direct proportion to the amount
given.
Besides insuring birds against every
form Of persecution by human kind,
we must defend them from various
natural foes. The most effectual
single step is to provide place for
the birds free from the eats
Although considerable number Of
our native birds build their nests on
the ground, the majority place them in
trees of shrubs, either in holes or on
the limbs or in crotches.
Shrubbery and trees for nesting
sites, therefore, are essential for max
ing the place attractive to birds, and
a double purpose is served if the kinds

One glance as they enter the dining

There is no romance in walking home
from church with youth whom she
remembers seeing once upon time
with a jam-besmeared face and knick-
erbockers sadly in need of patching
at both knees, to say nothing of ell
bows out Of his jacket, and freckles.
People seldom forget a ludicrous pic
ture of that kind.
A girl who has known boy from
the cradle UP, knows pretty well what
he is going to talk about before he
opens his lips. There are few, if any,
subjects he can introduce which she
is not quite as well informed about as
he is. Ii he attempts to talk seriously
to her there is no responsive chord in
making, uphill business.
Let handsome young stranger
come to town, and the interest of all
the marriageable maidens is aroused
at once. They ask of each other 'who
is he, and they cogitate over whether
he is married or single. If he is for
tunate enough to secure an introduce
ton to one esteemed family in which
there are young girls, his social sue
acess is assured. Little affairs are Civ
en- for him that ne may meet the most
desirable girls In the community. Ey-
cry door is thrown open to him and the
young women vie with each other to
\ make his calls pleasant and them
selves pleasing. If he is fairly good
c0nyersationalist the girls vote him
splendid company" his flattery fall
ing upon willing ears.
He has no difficulty in cutting out
the dlflident town beau. He can dance
like professional, sing in a way, that
makes feminine hearts futter, put a
world of meaning in a lingering glance,
or clinging handclasp. He selects the
prettiest girl to make love to, but she
must have the wealthiest of family.
The poor but lovely young girl he
passes by. He has no taste for love

In his moving that his betrothal to the
weafthiest girl in town is announced
in few weeks after he has met her,
the young man who has known and
loved her all his life, but had not tho
courage to propose marriage, begins
to sit up and take notice. He wonders
what the girls in the home town of
this paragon think of him and if he
is as popular with them. After a per-
sonal investigation, he discovers the
man bears too sporty reputation in
his home town for the young women to
extend him an entree into their homes.
That a girls fair name would suffer
if she were seen talking with him,
or accompanying him to any place Of
amusement that he will work only I'M
til he can accumulate few dollars
with which to try his luck here and
there heiress hunting. It is kindly
impulse which prompts receiving an
agreeable stranger into ones home on
friendly terms. If he proves worthy
of every confidence, well and good.
When he asks for daughters heart
and hand, it will not do the least bit
of harm to do little investigating,
quietly. If he bears an excellent rep
utation in his home town it's big
feather in his cap. If he is all that he
purports tosbe, he viii court investiga-
tion, instead of showing resentment at

Shall precede my trust
Are hirtations dangerous? That de-
ponds less on how it begins than on
how it ends-whether the affections
have been stirred, or-only friendships
waves have been ripping from merry
breeze.
There are some women, happy Of
heart, fun loving and sensible, who
could be brought into contact with
the most pronounced, fascinating
lady killers without experiencing an
extravagant heart throb. There are
others who were never intended, pre-
sumably, to have beau who had no
matrimonial intention, because they
were sure to fall headlong in love al
though the man in the case stopped
carefully at the crossroads OF mild
Irritation.
Such young women are really more
to be pitied than censured, for the
reason that their feminine intuition
mas led them far afield, as it were,
leaving them unable to decide as to
just what value to place on his whis-
pered words or the lingering clasp Of
his hand.
All women will tell you they go on
their summer vacations for the sole
purpose of gaining the benefit derived
from a change OF scene and air.
While this IS. true, it is also quite
true. that the majority OF winsome
maidens are not averse to finding at
the place they have chosen for recrea-
ton an agreeable, unattached young
man who will also help them pass the
vacation days pleasantly. It he pays
a bevy or more of girls the same
amount of attention, fayoring one not
mere than the others, he is simply
very agreeable new acquaintance. If
he singles one girl out, talking, walk
ing, golfing, yachting, dancing With
her almost exclusively, the busy
bodies will be burning with curiosity
to discover whether it is real heart
affair or only a Irritation.
Unwise is the girl who attaches more
Importance to his attentions than his
conversation warrants. Pleasant com.
partnership is one thing, tender senti.
ment quite another. The girl who is
only intent upon very slight fiirta-
ton should not lead young man on or
allow him to, believe that his suit
would meet with acceptance should
he propose marriage. Men have hearts
quite as susceptible to the tender pas
sion as those that beat in women's
bosoms. Where one or the other has
mo future intentions he or she
should not monopoIize entirely the So
ciety of the other.
Filtration is u dangerous game.
Frankly acknowledged friendship.
simply that but nothing more-is al
ways wisest and best in the long run.

Roofing

takes ITS place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by The General
is tae result of long experience. Ii produces
roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and dricr.

chemists are constantly employed to refine,
