gardens should therefore be made at
least six to eight inches in depth,
should be rather broad and of length
to conform to the window opening.
The soil should be rich garden loan or
a compost consisting or rotted sods
and stable manure thoroughly mixed
together and screened through screen
with at least half inch mesh.
Before filing the box a layer Of
broken pots or coarse gravel or clink-
ers from the ash heap should be placed
over the bottom of the box to the
depth of one inch. II the box Is made
air tight, holes should be provided In
the bottom in order that any excess Of
moisture which comes from watering
the plants may escape from the bot

The Phrase "Mere Man."

In his book. "The Pulse Of the World:
Fleet Street Memories" Malcolm Stark
gives what he believes is the origin Of
the expression mere man." A Scottish
doctor, he says, wrote as follows:
The earliest use of the phrase known
TO me is in the shorter catechism,
where it is said, mo mere man since
the fall is able in this life perfectly to
keep the commandments" The phrase
taught on in Scotland and was prob,
ably brought to England shortly after
the union. The only difficulty in the
way of this theory is that it allows
barely two centuries for the English
mind to see the joke.
This last sentence is indeed carry
ing the war into the enemy's camp.

The French system of rural credits
Is described in report made to
the st. Paul Commercial club by a
subcommittee of the organization
rural credits committee. The report
is one of a long list to be made to the
club, from which rural credits sys-
TEN suitable for the United States
will be formulated and probably sub
mitted to congress, with q petition
that the system be established by
law. The report of the French sys-
TEN sets forth that the French gov

oHE-p1EcE FRocK OF D1GK-nED DESIGN.

While there are few extreme styles
shown among the collection Of one
piece frocks for Autumn. the majority
OF them are made along dignifled lines.
Checks continue fashionable and are
used effectively for informal frocks.
The model shown here is in two tones
of brown, trimmed with revers OF plain
brown tafreta and vest OF white
organdy. The upper edge OF the vest
Is heInstitched ltNN
To reproduce the model in medium
size requires 3A yards 54-inch ma
terial, with y yard organdy or all-over
lace for the vest and Y yard taffeta
for the revcrs. MG
Much sewing of seams Is saved by
the proper arrangement Of the pattern
on the goods before cutting. For in
stance, the back gore of the skirt is
laid into position first, on fold of the
material. This is followed by the round
collar, in case high neck finish Is pre-
ferred, and the belt sections. The last
section to be laid on the fold of the
goods is the back Of the waist
Next, taking the skirt, arrange the
front gore on a lengthwise thread, plac-
ing the upper edge of the pattern as
near to the back gore as possible. Next
to the front gore is the sleeve then
follow the front Of the waist and the
pockets.
The single small "o' perforations on
the shield indicate the two styles Of
neckline now fashionable, so that by
cutting along either line the home
dressmaker will be able to select the
finish that best suits her.
Serge, gabardine, wolfe, chiffon pop
lin and whipcord are admirably suited
to the development Of this model.
Frock lines are particularly pleasing
for the Fall and Winter Seasons. Semi
fitted lines of all kinds are good and
are more in evidence than ever before

tensions to being "well-dressed' must
