Then there is the problem of clothes.
Styles change during spring days, and

designers are still a bit doubtful about,
are only for the tall thin woman. For

all these supply her lack of contour
But the short squat figure cannot
stand them Or only in very much

the new long line straight dresses are
becoming to every figure but the ex-

style can be worn by these if the skirt
is broken by a long tunic and an IN

THE AMATEUR GARDENER BE.RALD,s DAILY ADVICE FROM WASHINGTON THOSE
 

Spinach is oool weather crop. sSys. today's bulletin from the Nation al Emergency Food Garden commits sion in its cousse of gardsn tnstruc- ton for readers of the Herald. This means you must plant 1t early if the hot weather Of summer is not to come along and make your. spinach gc to olseed befors 1t has justified its occupancy of good garden spa,ce.
 It h, however. the best, tho most popular and the most prolific of all the garden plants grown for greens. The taste for sre6ns n strongest in the early spring and sla4e fall and wins ter when green ve9stablAs gre hard to got, 70 that spinach its right in with this demand
 spinach likes rich soil to force its luxurient growth. If you have any fertilizer to use in your garden. be sure to put some in tho spinach bed. Particularly the plant likes nitrogen. and those who can afford 1t can im- prove their spinach crop by scattering . little nitrate of soda between the rows.
New Britain herald., 1917-05-02

The plant also demands plenty of water. doing best in cool. damp weather, Hot weather and dry soil
 For spring planting buy round seeds of spinach. The other variety of spinach seeds is the prickly kind. and. it is most suitable for fall. Plant ing in mild climates. Plant the seeds thiclkly an inch deep in rows, foot apart. An ounce of seed is enough for 100 feet of row.
 Usually it is not wise to thin Spinach out by pulling the seedlings. As soon. as the plant has formed a rosette of well-developed leaves 1t is ready for use. Then by pulling the mature plants, or cutting them 7 off with a Knife just below the surface of the ground, you will give the ones that were crowded a. chance to grow large and keep up the supply. The first plants will be ready for use about . month after the sowing. and the crop will continue to mature for about 20 days.

Geraldine Farrar In "Joan the Woman"

Woman which will be presented at the Lyceum theater three days. start ing Monday. May 2, with matinee daily.
 Joan the Woman" stands super eminent in power of story, in the lesson that it teaches for good. in pa triotic feeling and in everything that pertains to the making of a great educational spectacle.
 So gigantic is it's scope that 1t Is all that human mind can do to grasp it in. its entirety. Geraldine Farrar brings Joan of Arc back to life. She lives as one of us. and one can almost hear her speak, so vivid are the scenes in which she appears.
 ':Joan the Woman" does not want for thrills. Never have such battle scenes been seen on the screen before. and 1t is doubtful if they will ever be surpassed. Never has an audience been so swayed by any photodrama, and the spasmodic bursts of applause came like volleys from a nest of ma chine guns.
 There were few heartstrings that were not tautened in the moments of pathos in this production, and many tear-filled eyes when the last mo- ments of Frances wonderful heroine were, shown.
 This photodraraa is like . living page from history, but, though based on the doings of ancient times, 1t spells many a lesson to be needed by we moderns. It teaches that nothing can be gained without self-sacrifice. It teaches also that the humblest among US can become useful and rise to greatness if we only will it. But,
 
 spect for the power and hearts of womankind who can rise to the high est pinnacle of success without the aid of men. Popular prices will pre- vail in this city for the first time, 15c and 25c.

Why do things that other people do which don't really harm or con- cern us sometimes bother Us 50 much !?
 For instance. have . friend who almost always takes a peep at the end of book while she is reading it..
 Now of course that doesn't hurt me any, no skin off my nose. as the saying goes.-and yet 1t irritates me beyond words to have her do 1t. She Looks at the End of the Story.
 It Is such foolish thing to do, such a pleasure-destroying trick. Here she is reading the book for the sake of the development of the story q know that all books are not read solely for that purpose but the ones she reads are), and she throws away all the element of surprise and mys- tery in looking at the end.
 Again. it troubles me to see people who have machines and do not use them. except when every condition is just so. I do not refer to people whose going out would mean that I might go too. It would be obvious that should mind their staying in. I mean people whose cars never have or never expect to be in. It maddens me to see them spend hours polishing and fussing over their machines. when they might be out in the blessed sunshine
