nMissinnn Girls

There are number of women just
as there are number of men who
wish to walk from their immediate
stagnant circle out into the very large
world of many currents and many ad-
ventures. Perhaps the growing inde-
pendence of women has something to
do with this movement. If statistics
were available we should not be sur
prised If many LADY tramp" were
practicing stepogr9phy and other cleri-
cal vocations In the business world.

Sufficiently equipped to be self-support-
ing they have cast from the old moor

with all the independence of the bach
elOrmaid. A room, flower boxes, pop

innate and moving theaters in the
company Of other women, no family
ties, no dull household rOutine-per-
haps this kind of life is creating
class of women with which our social
system will be forced to reckon, and
which will rob the missing" of the
glamour of romance, but give them a
position of far greater respectability.-

AMARYLLIS

The amaryllis is an extremely orna.
mental plant with large, fragrant,
beautifully colored flowers. To sue.
cessfully grow them considerable at.
tentiOn must be paid to the condition
of the soil.
The most suitable soil is good loan,
with one-fourth part of leafmOld, or
pulverized manure, and some sand.
AS with other plants good drainage is
very important.
The growing season is from early
spring until about September, when
the plants should be kept cool and
allowed to rest until February. They
require plenty Of sunshine, but during
the Towering season a light shading
tends to preserve the blossoms longer
To the gardener who has not as yet
experimental with this plant, it is
worth try. New delight and interest
comes with the growth of new plants
each season.
The past few seasons have seen
some wonderfully beautiful results in
the growing of amaryllis. Flaming
gorgeous colors have been produced
along with vari-striped effects quite
bewildering in their beauty.

TRY GROWING ORCHIDS
BY E. VAN BENTHuYsEN.

Contrary to the general opinion,
orchids are by no means difficult to
grow to their fullest perfection. An
other prevalent error is that the orchid
is exclusively rich mans flower.
This is by no means true, for many of
the varieties are relatively ineXpen-
sive, and It is possible by the eXpendi-
ture of very limited amount of
money to have a collection of superla-
tive beauty. They require the proper
kind Cf a house, the correct materials
in which to grow them, care in water
ing and temperature and the same at
tent-On that must be given to every
growing thing, but, given these, the
orchid will reward the grower most
abundantly.
Orchids require plenty of light and
air, but must not be exposed to the
full sun. The proper shading of the
orchid house in summer is very essen
tial.
No other flower of the floral king
dom boasts of so many wOndrous COM
binations of form, color, texture as the
orchid. OF all the flowers that have
been given us there is none to COM
pare with the orchid to embellish our
homes with their fresh lOveliness of
form and color, or for personal adorn-
ment.
No other flower so persistently ap-
peals to the refined taste of those to
whom orchids have become a passion,
the exquisite perfume varying from
the faint, delicate fragrance of some of
the dendrobiums to the delicious and
almost Overpowering OdOr of the Ae-
rides and Epidendrums.
Orchids can be grown in pots, pans
and baskets in fibrOus peat, with prop
er drainage. While they require shad-
ing in the summer, dark houses should
be avoided, and the air should be ad-
mitted whenever possible.
Cypripedium is one of the most in
teresting branches of the orchid fam
lily and offers a bOuntiful field of en-
jOyment to the amateur. 1t is COM
posed of many varieties and an almost
unlimited number of hybrlds, of be-
wildering variations in form and color.
They are Of the easiest culture and
bloom in the greatest profusion. This
class is extremely low in price and Of
fers untold enjoyment to the orchid
lover of limited means.
The OdOntOglOssums are the most ex-
tensively grown of all orchids. They re-
quire an even, cool and moist tempera-
ture throughout the year. They are
among the most easily cultivated, and
reward the grower bountifully. The
flowers are fairly bewildering in their
beatty and their unlimited variety of
colors and markings. Many of them
are very lOw-priced, making it possible
to have an extensive collection.

Dietinn.

Dieting Is the pastime of those who
are physically unfit for more active
recreations. 1t may be enjoyed in
doors or out, and though it is not so
vigorous as football nor so exciting
as hunting wild game, yet it has many
thrills. Perhaps its most tense mo-
ments are at mealtime when one
reaches a high pitch of excitement at
sight Of some thin soup and two hard
crackers. One becomes in fact so ex-
cited that one is obliged to hold tight
to the chair. 1t is particularly ex-
citing to realize that one is likely to
fly into a frenzy at any moment and
eat everything in sight. The scales
are almost Indispensable to dieting, al
though, for that matter, they are al
most indispensable to a fish. However,
30 be anything at all, diet must have
a pair of scales. 1t will amuse you
to see that every time you are about
to step on the scales you think per-
haps you have lost a little weight

The great outdoors should claim some

The great double peony-like poppies,
with fringed petals of crimson, and
pink and white, and almost purple
are worthy plants.
Nothing is easier to grow and moth
ing blooms more profusely than the
aster. 1t is rich in color and few
plants bloom so late. Some of the
new varieties closely resemble the
chrTsanthemum. The flowers last for
fortnight if the water in which they
are placed is changed frequently.
Petunias grown in masses, are won
derfully snowy and they bloom until
frost kills them; ii good many of the
old branches are cut away in August
the plants are induced to renew them
selves by this treatment.
The ten weeks stock and the gilly-
flower, dear to our grandmother's
heart must have a good word. The
gillyfOwer is a late bloomer Novem-
Der weather often finds in its prime.
Its flowers produced in spikes, are
deliciOusly fragrant, and well adapted
for cutting.
Any or all of these flowers given
space in a bit of ground will produce
harvest of blooms and will go long
way toward making SUMMER the dis
position of the woman who plants and
cares for them.

TELLS OF A CLEVER COLLIE
Robert Louis Stevenson Reeites In.
teresting Tale Of Dog Which Knew
His Masters Step.

In one Of his books, Robert Louis
Stevenson writes Of his friend, John
ToOd, shepherd who had spent his
days herdlng sheep on the Pentlnnd
hills, In Scotland. Many talk these
two had together ms they rOnmed the
hillsldes with the dogs and sheep, and
John had endless stories Of the days
when the drove roads, which now lie
green and solitary, were busy thor
Oughfares, thrOnged with drOvers and
their beasts. or sheep dogs John has
much to tell, and here Is one of his
stories as Stevenson tells It:
"Oncc,' he writes, "when John had n
specially clever sheepdog, he had
bought some sheep in Edinburgh and
on the way out, the road being crowd
ed two were lost. This was re-
proach TO John, and slur upon the
dog; and both were alive 10 their mis-
fortune. Word came, after some days,
that farmer about Braid had found n
pair of sheep; and thither went John
and the dog to ask for restitution.
But the farmer was hard man and
stood upon his rights. How were they
markedP he asked; and since John
had bought right and left from many
sellers he had no notion Of the marks.
Very WELL said the farmer, then it's
only right that | should keep them
Well said John, it's fact that |
cannae tell the sheep; but If my dog
can, will ye let me have themT The
farmer was honest as well as hard,
and, besides, / daresay, he had little
fear Of the ordeal so he had all the
sheep upon his farm into one large
park, and turned Johns dog into their
midst. That hairy man of business
knew his errand well he knew that
John and he had bought two sheep and
Ito their shame) lost them about BOr-
oughmuirhead; he knew besides .
that they were come to Braid for their
recovery; and without pause or blum
der singled out, first one and then an
other, the two waits. And the
shepherd and his dog-what do | say?
the true shepherd and his man-set
off together by Fairmllehead in jocund
humOr, and smiled togither' all the
way home, with the two recovered ones
before them"

New War Appliance.

A newcomer into the family of war
apparatus is the motorcycle-carrying
airplane. A special platform built
between the planes, just outside the
body of the airplane, carries the mo-
torcycle. The addition of this machine
greatly enhances the effectiveness of
the airplane and affords a quick means
of land travel in case of a shortage Of
gasoline or disability Of the airplane
engine. If the aviators who We're lost
in the Mexican desert during General
Pershing's expedition had been
equipped with motorcycles thei rreturn
to headquarters would have been a
matter of only a few hours instead of
three days wait for the searching
party.

friends are awaiting your coming. To
sit in a dark corner while bright life
is everywhere about you; to brood
over sorrow, a slight privatiOn,
when a multitude of good and gener-
Gus and hopeful deeds illustrates the
daily life of the world; to rage at
the limitations of your own estate
when you can make your spirit SYM
patheticaly master of everything-this
is to declare an indOlent and wallOwing

Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. J. H. wATsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work in
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality of the. kidneys and, also
free the blood from noxious elements
we must pay special attention to q
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to eliml.
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in a bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than Iithia
and that it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.
