done by women right here in Chi
cagO. In one of the suburbs. espe-
cially. a whole group of gardens
bears testimony 20 this interest
These gardeners are not. most Of
them. owners OF large estates. but
Of little garden plots. They are real
~ fortunate. too. They select the
flowers and plan their own gardens

comes from tending ones own gar
den, going among ones own flowers

growth. their sweet faces. learning
their traits. and accustoming them
to ones ways
In this suburg. these women are
I banded together in an association.
They have, each spring, a garden
market where they have on exhibit
ton and for sale all kinds of seeds
the newest garden utensils. garden
aprons and hats. and where they
may exchange ideas and experiences
! They meet. high and lowly. in a
democratic way Should YOU meet
these owners of old fashioned gar
dens on the train, you would hear
them chatting about flowers. The
idea is spreading to other suburbs.
Around Chicago are some OF the
most beautiful. rare gardens In ali
the world. Their owners are most
generous i'm sharing their treasures
There are clubs formed 20 foster this

and girls with the old fashioned gar

Nothing in modern existence can

An Architect for Birds

Bird cages TO harmonic with the
homes in which they are to be
placed and also 10 make suitable
houses for the birds that are TO live
in them. are being made by a wom-
an artist in New York and, although
they are beautiful "jeweled" affairs,
they are also practical and perfectly
adaptable for ordinary use for real,
live. ordinary birds. This artist feels
that the common plain wire or
wooden cages are quite out of place
in a handsome and artistically deco
rated home. Moreover, the bird it
self shows off TO much better ad-
vantage when his immediate sur
roundings are in harmony with the
color scheme of his own feather cos
| tune.
one of the handsomest of these
new styles in bird cages is round
and is constructed on the foundation
| of an ancient Japanese cage. a brok-
en- one, found by the artist when
rummaging about the quaint prem
| Uses of a dealer in antiques. The base
of this is of Japanese bronze lacquer
which resembles goldstone. iulaid
with lotus leaves in gold and bronze.
The dealer insisted that this cage
must be at least a century old.
Upon this beautiful foundation.
the artist built up a superstructure
of wire so treated as 10 harmonic
with the gold and bronze base. Two
or three small vase-like ornaments
Of white jade adorn the wires and
the door is set with small piece Of
ivory, exquisitely carved. Within the
cage. the perches are OF cherry
wood. natural color and rustic fin
ish. for more realism; two of them
being so cut as TO hold two green
jade cups for water and seed. The
swing is a ring Of ivory. The top is
finished off with big dark blue ball
mounted in brass, surrounded by a
string Of pink coral beads with a
japanese pendant at each side.
Another cage. also made 10 stand
upon a table. has a base Of glass
which. because Of the skillful way IL
is painted. looks very much like por-
celain. This is blue and white, shad-
ing from a deep blue at the corners
of each of the four panels TO white
in the center where a Chinese fruit
design is inclOsed in conventional
curves Of deep pink. The top is Of
solid metal. colored green like mala-
chite The bars are of wire. dull
gold. toned 10 harmonic with the
metal. 4 section Of the bars on
each side is ornamented with pink
coral and Satsuma beads OF dull
gold. The Chinese motif and color
ing predominant Throughout the
cage. Small Chinese vases adorn the
corners. but the real receptacles for
1ood and water are concealed be-
heath the lower panels OF glass. The
cage rests on a Chinese framework
Of black and gold. The long swing
is made of hard wood-cherry-
is suspended by rope of copper,
also made by the artist. In fact. the
artist does all the metal work her
sci. and il is quite unique. The rope
is adorned with three or four 80 'NH
gold beads. The perches too. are OF
cherry in natural finish The top Is
of hand-hammered brass. set with a

I that lives in il finds his home most
becoming to his pinkish breast and
blue wings. And, in spite OF such
apparent gorgeOusness. the cage may
easily be kept clean; and the more
soap and water the better. says the
/ builder. who is convinced that never
before has a bird had a home like
this.
An oblong sage, representing an
old lantern in shape and coloring,
has a base of brass, so treated with
blue and red and green in a sort of
! impressionistic style as to give the
effect of light reflected upon old
brass. The upper part is of copper
wire with copper chains. set with
cOlcred Chinese beads, red and yell
low amber, dull green. gold and fig
ured, at each of the four corners.
The swing is a ring made from an
elephant tusk, toned green and
brown and mounted with carved
ivory monkey sitting on a green ball.
The cups are real Chinese cups, one
Of brilliant blue china, the other
copper colored. The sand drawer is
pulled out by copper ring, set with
a bead. The perches are all of hard
wood in natural or rustic finish, the
rough places smoothed down. This
cage is TO be suspended by a copper
rang and a black cord set with green
beads at intervals. A little greenish
yellow canary has acquired this at
tractive home.
Another beautiful bird mansion is
round with a base of red Chinese
lacquer with bronze leaves and flow
ers The wire work is of shaded

notice what wonderful luster and
coloring one can get by painting on
brass. Above the base, the cage is
adorned with bands of copper rope,
strung at intervals with colored Chi
nese beads, interviewer with the
shaded wires. Three Chinese cords
Of bronze gold are suspended from
the base. The circular swing is made
of cherry wood like the perches. and

Odd Veranda Decoration

A well known hotel in Marble
head, Mass, has large brass dial
set in the floor of one OF its veran-
das, on which are indicated the
points of the compass and also the
directions in which several import
ant cities lie and their distance
away. 1t shows, for example, that
Montreal lies TO the northeast APP
proximately $40 miles away that
London is almost due east 3.7S5
miles distant. and that 942 miles to
the southeast is Bermuda. This I'M
usual decoration in the floor OF the
veranda, says Popular Mechanics, is
source of much interest TO the
guests Of the hotel, who come from
many quarters of the globe.
