PLANT TREES AND SHRUB
 BERY
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN

By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuYsEN
 Looking over your grounds this spring. note the effect of your plant ing If the place lacks trees and shrubs, plan to make up the lack this fall.
 Don't forget some ornamental trees and shrubs. Plant them in groups or sng1y, but always leave open space for grass.
 Cut-leaved birch is favorite tree for planting on the home grounds. It is pyramidal in shape with dropping branches.
 The Japanese naples are very beau- tiful, small trees in hush form with vivid coloring of the cut leaves.
 Many shrubs are more beautiful in foliage than in flower, and some of them carry their fruits through the winter in bright eolors.
 In setting trees or shrubs, make hole wide enough so that the roots can be spread out, avoiding twisting and crowding as much as possible. Work the soil in about the roots. leav- ing no spaces, and packing firmly.
 Avoid planting trees between the house and the street in such a manner as to hide the view from the windows and doors. To obstruct the outlook is very annoying to those confined to the house. Trees and shrubbery should be placed so as to form a background or setting for the dwelling.
 Young trees should be carefully watched and the open spaces in the ground about them, which have been made by the wind swaying the trees, should be well firmed down.

Use of Stratified Trees.

The trees of stratified growth. shelves, verticels, whorls or whatever you may call these peculiarities, are not to be indiscriminately planted. Nearly all the arauearias and many frs and spruces have this growth. These may be used where the lines of buildings near by or in the background, are mainly horizontal, for then har- mony prevails. A hilly or cliff back ground showing terraces or stratified outcropping of rocks would also har- monize with such trees, as would broad sketches of plains, but rounded hill and undulating mountain range do not invite such trees. Sharp and jagged peaks, however, would admit of such, especially those of spirelike tips.

Roses, VioIets, White Carnations and Lavender Lilac.

With every season come new styles tn clothes and hats and shoes. The florists are realizing that new silhou cites in nosegays are as much in de mand as the correct line in the new frock, and to meet the exacting de mand as the correct line in the new Debutante Bud, they yearly turn out new arrangements in floral effects This season sees the closely bunchee little nOsegays our grandmothers usee to carry. These are carefully sur. rounded by paper lace to protect the gown.

SOME HINTS IN SEASON

Spray, when the apple blossoms fall; when the chalyees close, 1t will be too late.
 Saturday is good day for gen. eral brushing up of the grounds around the house. Sundays rest will be enjoyed all the more.
 Encourage the swallows to nest ir the barn by making holes through which they may enter. These birds are great insect eaters.

Garden Pictures.

We allow geometry to interfere te
 much with gardens, large and small, and parks as we'll. We must at the outset have design, but the design should be early subdued and hidden by the proper use of plants so that natural charm Is dominant and we see things as they are in nature, with con- fiicting geometric design quietly ob- scured by natural charm of flower, bush and tree. Then shall we have pictures that attract all and offend Tone, if the builder has planned alright.

MISS PATTON'S INVESTIGA-
TIoN.-In regard to the dance hall
expose which is being run in. the Chi
cago American, l wish to give my
view on the subject. Last week Miss
Florence Patten was assigned to in
vestigate what occurred in the VIC
ious dance hall on Saturday night.
Miss Flo Patten paid visit to the
Pilsen auditorium, SokOl hall and
Carpenters hall, on the South Side.
To make a long story short, since
Miss Patton has been assigned to
these halls she sure has cut some
ice. She describes our dance halls
as being equal to the Barbary Coast.
She claims that young couples are
given permission to shake it up"
and to put on wicked dances regard
less of the manager. She also claims
there is quite a bit of shady work put
over while the law sleeps. Miss Pat
ton claims she was shocked when
she saw how the girls were masked
and the way they smoked cigarettes.
Miss Patton's stories are quite
true, but she has drawn to the public
a picture of conditions that are quite
out of the ordinary. If the Chicago
American, the worlds greatest labor
crushing sheet, is trying to find out
where the bad conditions exist, let
them SEND Miss Flo Patton up to the
Lake Shore drive. She will find the
conditions up there fare worse than
any of the public dance halls.
She will find that the sassiety
danes can smoke and get so stupid.
