ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENT
OF FLOWERS IN HOME
BY E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Dark corners of a room need light
Ing up, and light-colored, brilliant
flowers never look so we'll as when
standing out against half light. Ye!-
low is an exquisite bit of color for
such n corner.
Let all the flowers and foliage for
home decoration be fresh, and how
ever simple their form, they are love
ly, not only as graceful objects but as
suggestive of something more beauti-
ful still.
Avoid fantastic colored or shaped
vases. The simple beauty of the flow
ers is lost in such a holder. Clear
glass and the soft greens of Bohemian
make are most useful receptacles. Let
the lines of the vase or bowls be
simple and flowing and however cheap
the substance of which the vase is
made we shall not err.
Strive to produce the effect Of the
aower when growing, and the error
of cutting off the lovely gray-green
stalks of daffodils and cramming them
into a fat dish, or putting a handful
of violets in a tube specimen glass
will be impossible.
There are many little contrivances
nowadays that help wonderfully in the
attractive arrangement of flowers. The
little Japanese frogs with holes in
their backs that sit fiat in the bottom
of a bowl and hold out primly and
gracefully a few precious stalks Of
bloom are to be had for a few cents
and are well worth all they cost.
With such an arrangement three or
four daffodils with their golden glow
can bring a bit of sunshine into a
dreary room and add a beauty that an
armful of exquisite roses crammed
into an ugly vase could never give,
Color harmony in flower arrange
ment should be well thought out, not
only with regard to the relative posi-
ton of one flower with another, but

KEEPING WEEDS OUT OF LAWN

II cne gets good set Of grass in
tha beginning and keeps the ground
fortified by Il coatiag Of stable ma
nure or commercial fertilizer every
ipring there will De little trouble with
weeds II the lawn is kept properly
moved.
Some clsfm that there are weeds
that cannot be clipped with the lawn
mower We have found this complaint
true where the revolving mower was
used, for 1t will bend and not cut wiry
stems as Of crab grass and some other
troublesome plants.
The only way of getting these Is by
clipping of with mower that has
sickle similar to hay mower. The
guards of these machines raise up the
stems and the sickle cuts them off
without mashing down or pulling.
There is no need of using the hook
so much II one is careful when get
ting a mower, to get one that cuts
ahead of the wheels, and as wide as
the extreme distance apart Of the out
side OF the wheels.
This will not leave the strip along
the borders that is mashed down by
the wheels.
Moles do great deal of damage, but
may be run out by frequent rolling, or
may be trapped.
These may be destroyed by pouring
into the ant hills a tablespoonful Of
carbon bisulphid. stopping the hole so
the fumes are confined.

CHAPTER u.
For the Fatherland.

Henry Streetman turned and stared
after GeOrgy with raised eyebrows.
A blind man could not have mistaken
the animosity that the girl felt toward
him But that did not trouble Henry
Streetman. He was not a person
whose feelings were easily hurt
He had hardly strolled to the center
Of the room when the butler reap
peared and paused just inside the
double doors that led into the passage.
"Close those doors" Streetman COM
manded. quite as if he, and not Sir
George Wagstaff, were Brewster's
master. And while Brewster promptly
executed his order, Streetman himself
stole quickly to the door that led, as
he knew, to Miss Willoughby's dress
ing room. He stood there, silent, for
few moments. listening. And then he
returned to the waiting butler.
"What news. Herr RoederY he in

suddenly become metamOrphOsed. His
manner of a most correct English but
Ter had fallen Off him like a cloak.
And now he saluted his interrogation in
fashion Enthusiastically military-and
German, at that. 1t was as If the fell
low had two personalities.
Streetman came nearer to the fell
low and bent his cold eyes upon him,
"You have searched Sir Georges
desk?" he demanded.
81 have searched everywhere" !"
Brewster-or Roeder-declared, still
standing at attention. An onlooker
could not have mistaken the fact that
Streetman was the buffers superior
in rank. "But | can find no trace of
any papers about the navy such as
you described"
Have you tried his Officer" his con
federate ventured.
Henry Streetman nodded.
without result" he replied, some
what gloOmily. But somewhere he
must have a copy of the admiralty
instructions to the feet. These would
be in his department; and we must
know at once what orders have been
given to the ships at Spithead-where
they are going when this review is
over"
The spy. Roeder, saluted again.

ogetically.

ly. And then he motioned toward the
double doors that led into the hall.
"See il anyone's coming" he said.
Roeder-or Brewster-opened the
doors and peered down the length OF
the passage.
mo one is in sight; and hear moth
ing" he reported.
"Now lock that door" Streetman
commanded, pointing toward the one
behind which he knew that Miss Will
loughby must be dressing.
The butler regarded him in alarm.
"Pardon, mein Herr-but Is it
safer" he ventured. "She is a wOm-
an"
"Do not be alarmed" Streetman re-
assured him. Miss Willoughby is
easily handled She believes that I
work for the French secret service"
"Then she is fool" his subordinate
declared.

NO, no" Sreetman protested.
I'VE must not criticize the tools that

TO the telephone In a corner OF the
room Picking up the instrument, he
paused and turned 10 the butler with
look OF amusement "Sir George
Wagstaff-Slr George OF his majesty's
navy-would be rather surprised II he
knew that from his house we were
communicating with our friends, the
Germans" he observed.
"Ratherg his henchman responded,
with a CLEAN Of humor in his eyes.
"Now lock that door, Streetman
ordered once more. "And now to re-
port to headquarters again" he ex-
claimed, when the butler had turned
the key noiselessly in Miss Wlllough-
by's door. "Hellol City, 1926" he
said IN a low but distinct voice.
Meanwhile the butler hovered near
by.
"YOc think. meln Herr. there will be

began speaking into the transmtter.

ing the number by which he was
known in the German secret service.
"Yes! We have no news OF the Eng

Very well! Goodby"
He PIT down the instrument, and
look Of annoyance as well as per
plexity was upon his face as he
wheeled about
what is It, meln HerrY his com
panion asked in an anxious voice. as

conjunction with Streetman, and he
was quick to detect signs Of trouble
upon him.

without fail, the destination Of the

He cast a quick glance toward Ethel
Wiloughby's bOudOiF. so, Miss Will
loughby, you have some work to doH'
he muttered. to himself more than to
his confederate. "Now, unlock that
door!" he ordered. "Ah! that Is done,
and we were not interrupted" he said
in relieved voice, when the deft
Brewster had once more succeeded in
turning the key silently in the lock.
To expedite his prowllngs about the
house at all hours of the day or night
Sir Georges butler had seen to 1t that
such things as hinges and locks
whether upon doors or desks-were
well oiled. 1t was his genius for de,
tails of that sort that had led to his
assignment to his present duty.
Henry Streetman dropped upon
Miss Willoughby's setuee in an ati,
tude of relaxation that revealed some,

but inharmonious effects can be avoid
ed by observing a few general rules.
Now that flowers can be secured the
year round, the problem having been
solved by the gardeners, after years
of probing, some sort of bloom should
have daily place in the house. The
intimate association with such lowell
ness gladdens the heart and quickens
the senses and inspires all that is best
within us.
