Gentlewomen Gardeners and
Garden Parties.
The women who scorn the thought Of
gardening as an occupation suitable
only for those who needs must labor
not because they love the work, but
because their necessity demands IT,
should learn how this beautiful out
door occupation is regarded In Eng
land and other foreign countries, where
gentlewomen take great prize in their
lovely gardens. There is no prettier
costume than the garden frock and
garden hat, both of which will probah-
ly become intensely popular in Amer
lea. Garden fetes are popular in the
old world. One in England at this
time last year was "daffodil fete' in
the grounds of Carbery Tower for the
benefit of one of the hospitals for SOL
diers-another Red Cross benefit.
