MONEY CAN'T MAKE A GARDEN
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN

If one had all of the money in the world and no artistic or practical ideas to go with il, he could not produce a garden worth while. I am struck with this fact while looking at some of the new landscape work at the rich es- tates that make the Eastern coast q fairyland.
 The accompanying illustration will show case ill point Here is garden where money enough has been spent to buy farm. Yet the figures are stiff and grouped with about as much art as the man nsed who first put fig ures in multiplication table. Regu- lar. stiff and awkward. the costly bits of work are placed just like so many pawns on chessboard.
 That is just what one does not want. Better take a handful of natural rocks and n barrel of moss and ferns and mix the combination with a sense of arrangement than to waste thousands on decorative scheme that only holds up to pity the poverty of the mind which cannot do with much what thou- sands actually accomplish with little.

After reviewing coats made for the small girl it seems that they range through as great variety of mate rfals, and almost as great variety of styles, as coats for grown-ups. All the soft, Woolly goods. several fur fabrics and pushes. velvet in various eolorS, and all-fur coats promise a season of rich and comfortable out door Wear for the little miss.
 It k q fad of the season to have a hat er bonnet and tiny huff made of the same material as the coat. From top to toe almost everything small ladies wear is of one kind of cloth. For trimming, narrow bandings of the Shorthaired and least costly furS are used Shocking and shirring play important roles in making coats of wool yelours, Bolivia and similar cloths, and they are at their best on velvet. But coats of fur-fabrics or plush. like that shown in the picture. must he made on the planest lines.
 AIl-fur coats of white rabbit with caps and muffs to match make the most captivating sets imaginable. Baby Bunting's father spends his time to good advantage when he manages to clothe his small daughter in these

They have added cultures with loops of hair to other high and stately styles, and are showing others with small putfs and several short curls pinned at the crown of the head in the back. for those who like lower hairdress.
 Among high cultures there is one design in which band of waved hair Is wound about the head like a wide band of ribbon. near the forehead. It allows few orderly waves and ring lets to escape about the face, and the back hair is arranged in puffs at the top of the crown. This is an unusual and very finished-looking hairdress.
 A similar coiffure is shown in the picture In this design all the hair is waved and the front hair is combed back over q foundation which raises it at the top of the head. At the back cluster of curls is pinned below the crown and q band of waved hair is brought across above the nape of the neck. It will be seen that ornamental pins are an essential part of this cOif- fure-they finish and support II.
 The eOiffure at the left is much sim pier. All the hair is marcelled for 1t and combed toward the top of the crown. It is finished in a small coil

Excitement Caused Death.

A fatality ef uncommon occurrence took place off Buchie (ScotlanB har- bor some days ago, and the matter WAS afterwards ventilated in court through t prosecution instituted against q Sol= dier for attempted suicide Many peo- pie witnessed the affair, among others lad of tender years named McWil- Hams.

Tal.inn "Census" of Birds.

The United States biological survey is now making its third annual count of birds. with fhe aid of volunteer enu- merators all over the country. Each enumerator undertakes to count the namber of breeding pairs of each spe- cies fNnd on selected area of 10 to so acres. and the count actually con sists rn an enumeration of the male birds found in the couree of few carly morning reconnoissanceS. From the figures thus obtained estimates are made of the bird population in the va r,ous sections of the country. This year the survey is making special effort to obtain statistics from the semiarid desert and mountain regions of the West, and also from the fruit districts If the Paefie-e coast and the South Atlantic and Gulf states.

A DOC FOR THE GARDEN
ByLiMA R. ROSE.

When q theatrical manager has Il new play, long before he brings it to the chief city where it is to he pro- dueed, he tries 1t on the dog" That means that he takes the production to some small place and lets the actors see what effect the play has upon real people. If it works in the little place, the manager brings it to the big city. Maybe he finds some defects that the little town made evident and they are corrected.
 The same idea is q fine one for low CTS of the garden. Make trial gar den. Pick out some little spot which has intensified soil and the best con ditions. If you intend going in for any particular culture. try q little of it in the trial patch. Maybe the trial will show just how to make corree- tions which will avoid a heartache in the larger planting. A little time spent in testing the possibilities of a flower or q plant before making any The climatic and soil conditions are not the same in any two sections.
 The greatest expert on big cannon in the United States was recently asked if he could not tell by figures and theory everything about big guns.
 No he said. T want it to come out of the gun"
 That theory Is fine one to use in matters of the garden. An ounce of real experience is worth ton of the ory-and. besides. it increases the joy of having actual knowledge of the wonderful things that sun. air and soil will do with seeds and plants.

snowy skins Rabbit is frankly rab- bit this year, and costs money, at that. There are fascinating coats of white hroadcloth trimmed with band ings of brown fur, and they are quaint replcas of models made for grown people.
 The coat shown in the picture is a practical model of brown plush very durable and warm. It is so simple that there is almost no reason for q description of it. It has q turnover collar and cuffs of the same material as the belt. The belt slips through straps at the sides, and odd silk but tons provide the means of fastening
 Now that the waved and puffed and otherwise elaborated eoifure has come back, hairdressers appear to be work ing under the spur of new inspirations.

CABBAGES AND A KING
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN

When the WalruS, in the time-hon- ored verse. called attention to the fact that the time had come to speak of cabbages and kings, the beast did not have any idea that the time would come when there would be any actual relationship between the two. Now kings have come to know the value of the cabbage while the value of the king has taken somewhat of slump In the opposite direction.
 This story deals with an Oil King and cabbage crop Midas, with his fund of gold; Croesus, long mentioned as q marvel of money, and the other owners of large kingly chests were but ordinary pikers compared to John D. Rockefeller. He has in one vault in the basement of the produce ex- change in New York more hidden wealth than all of the old kings put together.
 Yet he has lively interest in rais- ing cahbages.
 His interest in this direction is valu- able to all of the persons in the eoun- try who have garden plots because it is q lesson in the economy of space, and a tip from the richest man in the world as to the value of using every spare spot for raising something from the soil
 What he sees in New York is equally possible on the most remote hillside in America, and it is for this reason I am ebouTipn x+n,1 ,,io+,r, the Oil Kings cabbage patch and tell ing you how the man with the greatest store of wealth wisely refuses to let chance to raise even a tiny crop be wasted.
 When I say cabbages, I do not mean that the patch is confined to this one thing. It is only one of many. All of the garden products that can be used in tiny space are utilized, and around the edges, to work in little art along with utility, there are flow CTS.
 The Rockefeller cabbage patch is located in the yard of the world-fa- nous Rockefeller institute at Sixty sixth street and the East river, New York city. It is in this remarkable institution that the wise men of sci enee try germs on monkeys and dogs so that they can learn how to save the lives of babies and grownups. Many of the greatest discoveries Of science have been made in the big building
 But when the master of the millions came along he saw something beside the germs and the mysterious re- searches of science in the vicinity. It occurred to him that the germs had nothing to do with the yard about the place, and that no amount of bacilli could interfere with putting the open ground to some use.
 So he ordered that the women and children in the eongested. poor neigh borhood be given chance to raise vegetables on the unused yard. The or der brought about transformation. Now on any day one may see the woman with the hoe at work on the garden that fringes the skirts of great learning. She is not bowed by the weight of centuries like Edward Markham famous Man With the Hoe" She is happy in the chance to make a better table for her little
