memorize word for word so that if they were
captured no discriminating papers would be

how they held back mob at the points of

they knew nothing about firing them; how
sometimes the shots flew so thick and fast in
the streets of Petrograd that they, with the
other pedestrians, dropped fiat on their faces
so that the bullets would pass over their
heads, but, unlike the other pedestrians, thew
did not lie quiet, but crept along as they had
been taught to do when on scouting duty

"You see," Rita, the elder, will explain,
"they couldn't trust the soldiers, because it
hard to tell to which faction thew be-
longed, and they were so ignorant that they
were easily swayed by every street corner
speaker, but Kerensky soon found that he
could depend on the scouts, both boys and
girls, to remain loyal, so he called on US for
all sorts of important work."
"And were you never afraid?" asked.
''Never" they answered in unison. and
then Vera added: eve were too busy to be
afraid. 1t was all too exciting No one ever
molested us. Sometimes when we had i'm

by soldiers, who would ride on the running

to shoot any who tried to stop US. but

ground and borders each side the path add
greatly to the beauty of any vegetable or other
garden, and are possible in laying out even

When in fruit, it is almost equally beautiful,
although less snowy, and the vines never get
really shabby during their long season of leaf
age. Prune out the old wood vigorously after
bearing to give vigor to the young canes, and
hoe out the suckers and keep the hedge in
bounds.
row of gooseberry bushes also makes
beautiful boundary line, although affordng
less privacy. A connected row of staked toma-
toes, carefully trained and pruned is also
very ornamental as we'll as useful back
ground. Dwarf tomatoes, pruned and staked,
are an effective foreground planting.
For the entrance, couple of cedar uprghts
or birch poles with branches not too closely
trimmed, set each side the path, two or three
1eet apart, and connected by short poles at
the top, afford a sufficiently picturesque sup
port for climbing roses if space is afforded for
,lnprcductive vines Scarlet runner beans
with their graceful sprays and vivid glowing
blossoms, make lovely trellis cover, and the
resultant crop is good, used either as string
or shell beans. The combination of these
scar,et runners and a sprinkling of light
coored morning glories (not enough of the
latter to steal too much nourishment from the
beans) is enchanting
We use dwarf zinnias extensively for path

are especially neat and trim. Their abundant

A Chinese Citizeness
In the heart of Chinatown dwells the second
OF my new acquaintance, a seventeen-year-
old Chinese girl, whom will call Mary Dav.
Rumors had reached the Liberty Loan Com
mlttee Of campaign organized by society
of American-born Chinese girls called ''The
Daughters of China" In search of it's little
leader mounted four flights of narrow, dark
stairs and knocked at door on the top floor.
1t was opened by Mary Day, in white silk
klmono, and inside the four children and the
mother, all in Chinese costume, were drink
ing tea about a table
Mary Day explained that her mother, who
kept her head hidden behind her sleeve
throughout my visit, had been eighteen years
in New York, and could speak but four
words in English; "yes,'' "no'' and call right"
and that she had been outside the house only
about half dozen times and then in closed
cab to attend a wedding or funeral
That is the custom for the Chinese wom-
en-" the daughter explained. "They are so
different from US Americans. My mother
likes US to these Chinese clothes in
the house, but we are real Americans.
My brother is Boy Scout. He sold great
many Liberty Bonds last winter, didn't you,
Willy?" And from the depth of red silk
kimono came the answer from an almond
eyed ten-year old, in the toughest of Bowery
accents:

If space may not be afforded for the zinnia

of our most valuable vegetables and winter

too many. Regularly thin them to keep the
row trim and even. A double row may be
planted if wished either close together or half
yard apart, the intermediate space occupied
by row Of beets, the foliage producing an at
tractlve color effect.
Curly kale is one of the most ornamental
'foliage plants" l know of, and row may be
planted to screen irregular and shabbily grow
ing vegetables. 1t is very hardy (the flavor is
improved by light frosts) and valuable also
as addition to late crops. Endive is
also pretty and very hardy border plant.

salad plants are gone except the late lettuce

ornamental and attractive, should not be

kept moist set in squares.
Chives make lovely edges. The beds in one
old garden in Concord, Mass, are edged with
its vivid green spikes and dull purple flowers
with charming effect. AS, however, a plant
or two produces all one can possibly require,
space for its use in this way cannot often be
afforded. The rich green fern-hke foliage Of
parsley also makes beautiful edges or borders.

TO RAISE PROFIT TAX WANTS PEACE OFFERS
| GERMANY WILL NOT REFUSE
REASONABLE" PROPOSALS.
Admiral Won Hintze, Foreign Secre.
tary, Authority for Statement,
According to Dispatch.

London, Aug. 15.-Germany will not
refuse any reasonable peace proposals,
according to Admiral Won Hintze, Ger
man foreign secretary, said a Reu-
ter dispatch from Amsterdam.
The dispatch quoted the German
foreign secretary as saying:
There can be no question of the
refusal by Germany of reasonable
peace proposals."
Discussing the recent speech of Pre-
mier Lloyd George, the German for
eign secretary was further quoted as
saying that "had the allies serious
peace intentions they could have ap-
preached Germany through authorized
persons"
Ever since Germany began to suffer
heavy defeats on the western front
1t has been reported from time to
~~.e that the central powers were
planning 'peace drive"
The reports were strengthened by
advices from Copenhagen telling OF a
great council which is to be held at
German great headquarters.
The two kaisers and many minis
ters and diplomats are taking part, ac-
cording to the Copenhagen dispatches.
1t was recently reported that Ad-
miral Won Hintze had left Berlin to
confer with the kaiser.
