FIRST WORK FOR THE GARDEN
By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

To get both pleasure and profit from a garden one does not need large variety of flowers and vegetables. do the planting and much of the work on a plot of about one acre The prod ucts include asters, dahlias, straw berries, tomatoes, celery, lettuce string beans, etc
 March is none too soon to commence shaping ones plans for the garden A good catalogue from some reliable seedman is necessary. The winter months are the time to study and plan out your scheme of garden My ex- perience has been that 1t is a mistake to try too many varieties of vegeta- bles Of peas. tomatoes and cabbage, select two varieties, one early, the oth- CT late. Of all the other vegetables find one variety suffices.
 Order your seeds early, for by the middle of March one can begin oper- ations by sowing tomato, cabbage and celery seeds in boxes filled with earth.
 Cigar boxes make a good receptacle for starting plants. They are deep enough and good size to stand on the window sill. Two hundred plants can be started in one box. The early cab bage and tomato should be planted first.
 If you are going to try celery it should be among the first started. Do not cover the seed too deep. Follow the direction on the package as to depth.
 Do not get discouraged about re- suits. as celery seed germinates very slowly. Keep the top of the earth al ways moist, and do not look for plants until the third week
 When they do show, give plenty of light, so that they will not be spin ding.
 This also applies to cabbage and

"ROM time to time there have ap- - peared in the newspapers re- ports that the Senussi were
 about to begin a holy war on the allies, having been persuaded to take this action by the machinations of Teutonic emissaries. Indeed once or twice there have been stories of ac- tual hostilities on the part of these dwellers in the desert of Sahara. Gu riosity concerning this great body of Mohammedan people has naturally been aroused, but information about them is not plentiful.
 The following account of the Senussi and Djaraboub, their capital, is part of an article by George Remond published in LIllustration of Paris some two years ago, incorporating the experiences of a member of Enyer Beys mission to the Senussi in 1912:
 Djaraboub is built on one of the hill locks which cover this part of the country. Sidi Mohammed el Senussi, passing through it in 1858, "by order of God" founded little zaouia. This was the beginning of Djaraboub. This holy man was an Algerian, pious and learned, who had done the pilgrimage to Mecca several times. He received hospitality from the tribes to whom he commented on the Koran, gaining thereby great reputation for wisdom and knowledge. Seeing in what state of barbarism and ignorance the inhabi- tants of Cyrenaica lived, he decided to teach them the word of God, and built in the Green mountain the first zaouia, which got the name of zaouia el Beida (the white), taught his dis ciples, and founded a religious order the authority of which extended throughout the country, and has spread today in the greater part of the Moslem world. He died at Djara- boub and was buried there, and his son, Sidi el Mahdi, set up a magnifi- cent tomb in his memory.
 There are now 140 Senussi zaouias in Africa, eleven or thirteen of which itania. the remainder in Cyrenaica and the Sudan.
 The Zaouia of Djaraboub is sur rounded by an inclosure to which five doors give access. The houses, built of stone, are two-storied; each has its own bath. The population is of $50 in habitants; there are neither merchants nor shopkeepers nor cafes, which are to be found in all places where Arabs

You didn't know that quilting was in again; well, where have you been all this time? It is in style again, oh, not only bed quilts but running to motifs on childrens clothes curtains, slip overs, cushions and table covers, too. All this is of the applique variety. But the designs are not the one which have been overworked in the church bazaars and ladies' aids. Instead of the rose designs there are wonderful ones just like those of long ago, dont in the flowers of that date. There are hollyhocks and morning giories in the blues and pnks and lavenders, in which the dainty little Cooley persons were wont to regale themselves The quilt is finished in a bieding from one inch on to wider of a solid color used in one of the flowers. The width of the border must be .. matter of indi- yidual taste
 Can't you fancy the soft pillows, too? They have tho background in soft cream-quilted, too. Grapes and shad- ed flowers are used. What a nice, dainty boudoir pillow one of these would make. Cretonne o. any color fast material could be choser from which the figures can be cut
 Worsted flowers and cross-stitch in colored cottons have been utilized to give the costumes and the coats and hats of small children the quaint touch which seems a special part of their makeup these days. Why not cut two red. plump cherries from solid red cloth or from a piece figured in cher ries, add two green leaves and quilt them closely, then apply them to a little linen or crepe frock belonging to her miniature highness. On her spring hat cluster of flowers in satin or preferably linen, padded thickly, quilt ed and sewed to the straw hat would be smart addition.
 If you say when you read this that table cover worked in this way wouldn't be worth the time and labor with brown Holland linen center or one of monks cloth, then try to buy one already made and feel your hair curl at the price Spring has many dull and dark days on which there is

Word About Spring Hats

For between-season wear satin and straw combinations are fashionable. In the best models only a very small quantity of straw is used. and that is of rich color. From all indications styles in shapes will be very varied. Very high effects will continue in new forms, accomplished mostly by judicious arrangement Of trimmings.
 Straws of high luster or glazed eff fleets will be very pronounced and in rich dark ColorS. In contrast to the richly colored glazed straws will ap- pear fine hemps and felts in light pas tel shades. Something new is the use of knitted silk or cotton such as is used in making sweaters. These fab rics are used both in plain colors and in blazer stripes.
 Bangkok sailors and fine milan ef- fleets are smart, and there is host of styles in leather, knitted silk, novelty woolens and the new serge and silk combinations. Trimmings for this type of hat are very simple but rich, in- cluding novelty ribbon bands, chenille or silk embroidered flowers, fruits, birds. small unique feather tufts or novelty jeweled buckles or orna- ments. Some sailor shapes have rip pied and dropping brims. There are also high-crown sailors with minia- ture brims turned sharply at the side. hs we'll as new variations of the tri- corne and high-back turban.

tomatoes. All of them will grow long, thread-like stems, which will be too weak to support themselves, unless given plenty of sunlight. The celery plants can remain in the cigar box much longer than any of the other plants that have suggested for house planting. They grow slowly. The to- matoes and cabbage will soon need larger quarters.
 AS soon as the fourth leaf is under way, they should be planted into flats Mine are about two feet square and three inches deep. 1 nailed them up myself, and any other woman with 8 few boards, saw and hammer, can do as much. Once made, they will be good for several seasons. Do not fill with earth to the top.
 By the time the plants are trans planted in the flats there will be many days when they can be placed outside for few hours. This should be done whenever possible.

rounded their life. These people, na. are the allies of no one, but wage a. furtive guerrilla warfare with all who invade the inhospitable Sahara sands of their domain. They are the buc- cancers of the trackless sand, forever at war with all civilization and it's re- straints.
 Masked Tuaregs are Berber nomads, a white desert people, whose country is probably the most inaccessible on earth. Even before Egyptian civiliza- tion began to leave coherent records of it's history the Tuaregs, or Berbers, were long established along northern Africa. The great Arab invasion of the eleventh century displaced them from their possessions upon the sea- coast and drove them into the savage area of the interior desert, where. with their hands raised against all who come into their painless country, they have maintained themselves through the intervening centuries. despite lack of water, sandstorms and lack of farm ing land. requisitioning by force of arms from the Arabs and Egyptians, to the north and east, and from the blacks of the Sudan, in the south, such necessities and luxuries as their cheer less portion of mother earth cannot supply them.
 There are five main tribes in the Tuareg confederation, and they in- habit the desert from Tuat to Tim buktu and from Fezzan to Finder. Their homes are reared in the heart of arid wastes, where vast solitudes, un- natural heats and unmarked distances shroud everything in uncanny mys- tery. They are masters of an area half that of the United States in ex- tent Of this 1,500.000 square miles of territory scarcely 5000 acres, or less than the area of New York city, is cultivated land. This scanty farm land is only maintained by an enduring struggle with the drifting sands. These fierce adventurers, who have forced the great desolation to yield them a support, number 300,000 or more, according to estimate, and they have made themselves feared by the natives from the Mediterranean to the tungles of central Africa.

thousand inhabitants He had four artesian wells made, one of which, near the mosque, is 135 meters in depth, and supplies the whole town; the three others are in the gardens. Sidi el Mahdi had an active mind and was curious of novelties. He had twenty gardens planted outside the town, and had them surrounded by walls; and 20 rose gardens around the mosque. Dates, pomegranates, olives and various kinds of vegetables were planted in these gardens. Water is abundantly supplied by the wells. Out side the walls of Djaraboub can also be seen five mills, also erected by his orders, but they are no longer in use, and are falling to pieces.
 Sidi Mohammed el Mahdi is still the most venerated and popular figure of Cyrenaica and the Soudan. He is al- ways being quoted or asked for help. About 1896 he left Djaraboub, uneasy on account of the proximity of the British, not liking that of the Turks, and took refuge at Kufra In 1902 he was either killed or wounded in an encounter with the French somewhere about the Kanem frontier; the faith full say he ascended to heaven, from whence he will return some day to make the prophets standard, united to that of the Senussi, triumphant throughout the world. The greater part of the Djaraboub population fol- lowed him to Kufra, but Djaraboub has kept its character as the sanctu- ary of Senussism to such an extent that any member of the sect who has
 made a pilgrimage to Mecca without having made one to Djaraboub cannot

MATERIAL FOR SPRING

The new jersey cloth has some thing of the feeling of the sweater. and while the larger part of it's use may be confined to life in the coun- try and in small towns, there is good reason to prophecy that it will find it's way in the streets of the great centers,
 Brown is one of the colors that the dyers of the new jersey cloth evi- dently like, for some very smart suits or 1t have appeared. Brown has not been among the fashionable shades for several seasons. We have quite ignored it, although we have given a warm slice of our affections to it's pale sister, beige. Probably the welcome accorded the leather tones has sug- gested to the dyers the introduction of real brown. The reason, however, is negligible factor in the condition. The fact remains that brown as well as gray are colors to be reckoned with from now on.
 There was so much distate on the part of the fastidious ones for fur by the time the new year arrived, be- cause of it's lavish use in women's ap- parel during the last six months, that everyone thought it's day was done; and yet, here it reappears in a variety of capricious ways. For instance, one of the Palm Beach hats of striped blue and white linen lawn is edged with fur, and Poirets idea of combing skunk out to make it look like fringe and using it for trimming has started an entirely new develop ment in use of peltry.
 He first brought this out on a Brit tany gown of purple and white striped silk and velvet, and then the milliners took it up for the new straw hats.
 If you want to employ some of your leisure time at home in arranging fur instead of embroidering, you might try your luck at achieving a Poiretesque result with an old piece of fur and a thick comb.

Among ribbon trimmings for hats are colored velvets, narrow failes and wide taffetas. Among distinctive trim mings are richly colored straw flowers and fruits which can be appliqued fiat ly on the hat. Dull beaded flowers in new colors and designs are also much used. Soft dull rose shades are espe- cially handsome. Glazed fruits in black mounted on slender silk braid stems, and black apples with beaded blossoms are especially effective Nov city pins and buckles in jet and pearl are used. Malines and metal and hair laces will be used for high trimmings. In ostrich feathers the small richly colored tip and ostrich bands will be worn.

congregate. It ie large convent or sanctuary; the population consists chiefly of pious people who ask the Senussi's permission to settle down there with their families. They thus form part of religious order are not allowed to leave the town without the sheiks permission, and spend their life in prayer. The tribes send a cer- tain number of their children to be taught the Koran in a school adjoining the mosque. They must supply their own food and requirements; that is to say, when they first arrive they bring with them few bags of barley, which they set against the wall of their little room, blanket and mat There are also 80 black slaves who tend the mosque, the tomb and the gardens-for there are gardens.
 Great Mosque of Djaraboub.
 One large mosque, an extraordinary erection in this desert, consists of a rectangular court, 35 meters long and 30 meters wide, and bordered by ar cades. These give access by doors of sculptured wood, brought from h. dia, of fine workmanship into nave of columns seven meters high, covered by rounded ceiling, then into a chapel with cupola (the "Turbe"), where is the coffin of the founder of the sect This wooden coffin is GOV cred with stuffs, and rests on a large marble slab, and is surrounded by wrought-copper railing into the inside of which one gets through a door adorned with silver plaques. An in- scription shows the genealogy of Se- nussi from the prophet Mohammed, his ancestor. A passage behind the chapel contains the tombs of women. Near one of the doors, under the ar cades, is the tomb of the maternal grandfather of the present Senussi. At one of the angles of the court a nina ret rises, and on one of the sides above the arcades are the private apartments of the Senussi and an open gallery with three columns, where he spends the day, prays and gives au- diences. On another side are the bath, the school and the cells of the pupils
