Athens under French Rule.

London, Oct. 2l.-Vice Admiral Du
Fournot, commanding the allied fleet in
Greek waters, has assumed complete con-
troll of the situation at Athens and has
taken drastic steps to prevent further

the eye of the French commander, who
approves all police orders. Nopolice Of

without his sanction.
The vice-Admiral received these pow

CONSIDER THE LILIES
BY /. NJ. BENNINGTON.

The time has come for the annual
shipments of japanese and European
lilies to reach America, and some
thought must be given by prospective
producers to the things that must be
done In order to get results from these
pretty and valuable plants.
In the first place, the amateur should
he reminded-it Is not necessary to
tell the trained professionalism this
hig country has many degrees OF ell
mate. In many sections Of the land
the ground will be frozen before the
bulbs can be received, much less
planted.
A little forehanded p%recnutlon will
serve to avoid the trouble that the cold
brings. Manure, old bagging. or any
other sort of recognized covering
which will protect the ground where
the bulbs are to be planted. will act as
n reception committee and keep the
ground ready TO receive the bulbs.
After December ! II Is generally rus
tomary 10 defer the planting until
spring, but there are many sections
where such delay Is not at all neces-
sary.
Among the beautiful types that nre
listed among the late im%portations are
the white lily OF Japan. or Llllum
Auratum Nirglnale Album. II has @
quisitcly pure white flowers, which as
sumo very large proportions and dis.
play n sulphur-yellow band through
each petal. The Lilium Auratum Wlttel
also has immense flowers, and Is very
tall and fee of bloom. The color Is
creamy white, with a yellow band to
afford relief.
The variety listed for this season Is
so great that II would take II wealth
of detail to tell all about the beautiful
flowers. And while speaking of lilies,
| am reminded of the value of the
Chinese type. From II couple of plain
little cuttings that were picked up In
n dingy little store In New York's
Chinatown. n New York woman has q
most attractive house ornament.
The sprouts were simply put In a jar
Of water and placed owe the mantel
and nature did the rest. The lilies have
sproutcd and flourlshed indoors with
out the slightest care, save for the oc'
caSional renewal of the water, and
their long, green shoots give a refresh
ing relief to the Oom whore they are
now perslstently adding to their beauty

She finds It necessary to look him over
every morning before he leaves for his
office, lest he should appear there In
his pajamas some day.
ON the day that sire entertained the
members Of her club, Mrs. Jones took
great pains to purchase the bridge IA

"Now," she said in the morning, as
he was about to leave for the day, ''do

matter until he reached the office. Then
his eyes lighted on the string his wife
had tied about his finger.

vors." Half an hour later, as he was
opening his mail, he came across a let
ter from his wife.
Don't forget those favors," II read,
land be sure to pay for them"
HIN, that's right" muttered Jones
abstractedly. Il did nearly forget
them"
Shortly after receiving the letter, his
wife called him up on the telephone.
"IIaye you bought those favorsi' she

At noon he left the office, TO be gone
the remainder of the day. Al six o'clock
he walked up the stoop of his house,
tired but happy in the consciousness
that his days work was over.
At the door of the house his wife met
him, In IA plainly wrathful mood.
"Wretched man !" she cried.
Jones surveyed her In amazement fol-
n moment. Then an awful thought
pierced his mind.

In the making Of a garden wall. AL
most all of the lovers of the garden
have at some time cherished the de.
sire to have II rock garden. 1t Offers
an appeal and Il field that seems to be
Irresistible.
The beauty of the rock garden pros
pcct Is that one does not have to de-
pend upon natural assistance to pro-
vide one. Almost any point In the gar
den where u retaining wall is needed
or possible, affords the opportunity I,
decorative effect.
The toughest field stones, Of the kind
that n farmer uses for II dry wall,
may be utilized. The larger the stones
the better the chance for getting the
desired effects. Up to the sizes from
two to three feet In length, the more
bulk they have the better because t.ey
offer greater resistance to the alterna-
tive elements Of thawing and freezing.
As u primary proposition the gar
dencr wants to cut his bank On u slight
slant, and then begin laying his rocks
with a backward and downward angle.
NhiN hiin mas b''it w - ~"
large stones should be nicely fitted to-
gcther. Over them lay IA covering OF
rich soil, made from leaf mold or loan,
or, If no such soil Is possible, prepare
wcll.rotted manure instead of the leaf
mold. Put about half an inch of the
covering on the first rocks and pack
well to prevent it from falling out.
The roots of the plant should then
be pressed lightly into the soil, using
care that they be made firm and
steady. The next step calls for more
soil. 1t Is essential that the stone
should be well set and so anchored as
to make IT safe from slipping.
From this point on the process Is
one of repetition. As large or rs small
a rock garden as one wishes may bc
made by repeating the laying of rock
and the covering with soil and plants.
II one wishes to provide Il water

A few lengths of old farm tile will do
for the task. The line Of the tile should
