1t is full time to beautlfy the city front
yard Most residents with the small area
possible to devote to floral culture in a
city front yard do not want to spend too
large sum on their display, and the
following suggestions are offered to
cover their limitations, and yet provide
attractive and colorful combinations at a
small outlay. The most expensive COM
bination will not cost more than S5 for
all the plants bought From the data
householders can adapt something to suit
their tastes and purses.
A perennial bed is very desirable. The
plants are hardy and need only a tri-
fling covering of coarse manure, or even
leaves for winter protection. The one
illustrated will give constant succession
of bloom, and cost very little All of the
plants we'll rooted and ready to bloom this
season can be purchased for from 10 to
10 cents each.
The flags or iris will give very early
bloom and the foliage will be good look
ing all season. The rudbeckia or golden
glow will bloom profusely from August to
frost. The campanula or bell flower will
be stately In bloom through the summer
months, Coreopsis and galliardla are con-
stant bloomers well nigh to frost Column
bine will afford early bloom, and the pret-
tily shaped foliage will be attractive In
the foreground after bloom is over Along
the edge pansles can be planted as a
border, If desired; but these must be
renewed each season. The distances and
the order from porch outward are indi-
Gated TO fit In with heights later attained.
Flags are next the porch. Early spring
bloom can be ensured in this perennial
bed by planting bulbs next fall along the
dotted lines half way between the rows
Nearest the porch put hyacinths, tulips
or double narcissus. Working outward
can come double narcissus, single dafro-
dis and poets narelssus All these can
be purchased at 25 cents dozen upwards.
They can be left In the ground all winter.
The iris are planted one foot apart
Campanula and rudbeclSia one foot from
each edge, then two feet Coreopsis and
galliardia one foot from edge, then l u
feet apart. columbine. one foot apart. The
hardy border can be scaled TO smaller
areas, but the distances should be kept at
least one foot apart
Bulbs should be planted from a foot TO a
foot and half apart. ~.
The various combinations suggested are
designed for locations receiving the light
from the east or the south. In case OF
western or northern exposure rhod0den-
dons. begonlas, columbines and fuehsias
win all flourish
If an evergreen effect Is desired, rho
dodsndrons can form the foundation.

A FRENCH woman whom 1 know, one
"A of the most modlsh and exquisitely
gowned women l have ever seen, requires
two hours in which to dress. One-half of
this time Is given over to her hair and
hat-40 minutes for the coiffure and 20
justment of her hat and veil. Suffice it to
say when she is finished her toilette is ir-
reproachable.
Now the average woman has not two
hours to spare to the important function
of getting into her clothes properly. In
deed, even IL she had she would regard Il
as profllgate squandering of time, and
rightly so. But / quote the incident of
the French woman to show the Importance

ranged hair and becomingly adjusted
hat is to tho ensemble of the woman who
would make the most of herself.
And as for the veil, though 1t is one of

1t had better be forgotten altogether than
to be slapped on" with an indiscreet re-
gard for loose ends that flap out in the

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Six Days Session Sees Slump of S5 to S6 Bale-This Week Situation Will Depend on Way Growers Handle Cotton.

New Orleans, Sept. 10.-There was a notable reaction in the cotton mar ket last week, and at the lowest levels reached on Friday prices were 108 to 1l9 points, or $5 to $6 a bale down from the close of the preceding week. and III to l73 points down from the highest levels of the season. recorded two weeks ago. Heavy liquidation of the accumulated long interest in the contract market, coupled with consid- erable hedge selling, were the reasons for the decline. Stimulating the sell ing movement was the freedom with which spots were traded in over the belt.
 On the final two sessions of the week the market displayed much healthier tone, as the result of it's cleaning out and the weekend cover ing by shorts who wanted their profits, brought records from the decline. The close was at a net loss for the week of 91 to 112 points, the October option showing as it did throughout the week the widest loss. This weakness on the part of the coming spot month was due to rumors of heavy tenders of new crop cotton against it.
 The lowest levels were reached fol- lowing the Census Bureau report of S50,032 bales ginned to September l.
 This week the situation probably will depend largely on the way grow CTS handle their cotton. If the new crop is offered freely the tendency on the part of the speculative elements will be to sell future contracts.
