several establishments which joined
in the Fashion show today, notably
among the improvements being the
addition OF the s. J. Courtney q son

capacity Of this popular establishment
The addition OF the new room not only
greatly enhances the facilities Tor

larger stocks and additions OF sew

stock now includes everything for q

departments. TO begin with, the new
backgrounds in the display windows
have improved wonderfully the ex-

has been paneled in Ivory WOODWORK

done in ivory and black blocks.
On the second floor there are new
wardrobes for garments on the east

triples the former capacity and not

GERS to make 1t suitable for vegetables.
Then comes the consultation with
the family to Determine the sorts of
vegetables the different members like,
and which, therefore, they personally
will be Interested in raising. Contine
your selections to the standard we'll
tried sorts. Finally, and this Is most
important, is the conference between
the garden force and the housewife
as to what vegetables are really worth
raising in the back yard. It will hardly
pay to raise In small space potatoes,
corn. cucumbers, squashes or melons,
which occupy large area In proper
ton to yield and which can be bought
cheaply in nearby markets.
In general. the aim OF the backyard
gardener should be to raise those veg.
etabIes which are either expensive or
In which the flavor and quality de-
ponds Importantly on absolute fresh
ness. Peas and string or lima beans,
to be at their best, should be cooked
almost Immediately after they are
gathered. Peas kept even for day lose
their delicate bloom and sweetness.
Consequently as much space as posi-
BILE should be devoted to such vegeta-
bles. and other vegetables In which
freshness does not count so important
ly should largely be used as filters to
keep the ground at work Effort also
should be made In a garden to have
special vegetables, such as okra. of
which the family is fond and which
are difficult to obtain in local mar
kets or are commonly high priced.
The housewife probably will want q
little bed Of parsley, chives, or other
herbs, not because they are expensive
to buy. but because OF the conventcnce
of being able to pick sprig just
when II is needed.

BELGIAN PRIMATE
Great Reception Is Accorded Cardinal
MERCER Upon His Arrival in
Italian City.

Rome, Jan IA, C7:10 p. m.D-Cardi-
nal MERCER, primate OF Belgium, ar
rived in Rome today and was received
at the station by the Belgian minis
ters accredited to the Vatican. by Sir
Henry Howard. British minister to the
Vatican, Monsignor Desanpere, papal
master Of the chamber, and large
number OF residents Of the Belgian
colony. A large crowd of Italians also
greeted the cardinal, crying Viva Mer-
cier, Viva Belgium accompanying
him along streets to the Belgian COL
lege where he is stopping.
In the municipal council Prince CO.
lonna, mayor of Rome, and several
members of the council welcomed the
arrival of Cardinal MERCER in Rome
and greeted him as the man repre-
senting the tragic and heroic history
of civic virtue of unshakable faith"
The speakers also expressed sympathy
with Belgium "mOmentarily crushed"
and admiration for the Belgian army,
the Belgian people and for King Al
bert and his queen.
What l have done was simply my
duty Cardinal MERCER told the rep
resentative OF the Associated Press to-
night, while the people of Rome, COM
prising all classes, received him in a
triumphant manner such as no cardi-
nal of any nationality has enjoyed on
entering Rome since the fall of the
temporal power.
Cardinal MERCER intends to remain
in Rome for fortnight but does not
wish to be interviewed, not because
he gave any official promise in this re-
gard TO the German authorities, but
because he considers that he is bound
by honor to keep silent. In spite of
this he spoke in high praise of the
American generosity in helping the
destitute Belgians and Of the immense
debt OF gratitude felt by his people to-
wards America. The situation of the
unfortunate nation, the cardinal eX-
planned. was not so terrible now as
Immediately after its occupation.

ing to their homes and resuming work.

probable end of the war Cardinal Mer-
cier exclaimed, long yet, perhaps
