MRS. BOOTH BELIEVES
in FLOWER GARDENS

Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth, of the
American Volunteers, believes in flow
ers. She writes:
my flower garden is my greatest
rest when 1 have zone through deep
sorrow, when I pass through anxiety
or when through ire d-out nerves 1
have become sleepless. my garden has
been my greatest blessing. 1t is the
one place on earth where l al re-
gain and find true heart rest. Both
my husband and ! in the summer
time spend every spare hour working
lin our garden.
II need hardly tell you that the
hours are not many. A day or two
days a week and then sometimes not
az much as that, but they are won

II think that it is foolish in the ex-
IRENE to talk Of the raising Of flow
ers as an unpatriotic pursuit. wish
you could have seen how my daugh-
ter, the president of the Girls Nation

garden this summe and fall stripping

were cutting MOWERS for these boys.

For later cucumbers the seed may
be planted in the garden sold. when It
warns up. Sow rather heavily as the
beetles will be apt to kill Off half or
more. Later on If they come up too
thickly, you can thin out.
They need plenty of room, and
should be three to four feet apart,
with three or four plants in each hill.
The fruit may be pulled when
small for picking. Harvesting the
fruit before n ripens maintains a

Asparagus.
This crop is one Of the most endur-
ing and satisfactory vegetables. 1t can
be grown on almost any well-drained
soil. but will do best on a deep sandy
loan. There is little possibility of
having the ground too rich, and liberal
applications of partly rotted barn
yard manure should be made before
the plants are set. The seeds Of as
paragus may be sown during the
spring in the rows where the plants
are to remain. and the seedlings thin
ned to stand IA inches apart in the
rows.
1t is usually more satisfactory to
purchase t~wo-year-old roots. as con-
siderable time is saved in this way.
AS the asparagus bed is a permanent
feature OF the garden. it should be
located accordingly. Before setting
the plants the soil should be loosened
very deeply. either by sub-soil plow-

BUILDING QUERIES
AND SUGGESTIONS

]. A. FL have a six room house,
not modern. worth $4,000. l need
more room. and desire a modern
house. Will it pay me to spend ST.
600 on enlarginE and ~remodeling?
Answer-It depends. largely on
your intentions and circumstances. If
you intend to continue to occupy the
house indefinitely, and the improve
ments are therefore for your own
use, and if you can finance this out
lay and could not conveniently f.
nance a larger investment, such a
plan may pay you. If your property
is for sale SO large an investment in
;remodeling would probably be unwise.
In most cases, IL the financial part Of
the proposition "a be handled, it
will be more profitable to sell the old
house and build a new one. You
can then plan to suit yourself.
b. l.. M.-Whati Is the best type Of
heating plant for a residence?
Answer-There are 30 many points
in favor of every good system of
heating that we cannot undertake to
give advice as between rival systems.
1t may be said, however, that for or
binary residence heating hot water
good hot water plant is satisfactory in
a residence of n size. Warm air
plants are found satisfactory by many
home owners. In a residence Of mod
crate size the warm air should be
conducted to each through
proper conduits. and proper provision
must be made for return circulation.
Some Of the smaller types Of pipe
less furnaces are reported to give
good service in small residences.
NJ. M.-What is the best width for
ia residence porch?
Answer-Obviously this depends on
the size and form Of house. For the
small residence, with etraight front.

Real Loyalty Demanded

The internment of DR.. Muck and Mrs.
Kunwald has intensified the public's
desire to know just where our various
conductors stand on the subject of the
war; Dr. Muck and Mr.. Kunwald are
alien enemies, and they never made any
concealment of their sympathies. But
there are other we'll known musicians
whose positions are still little
nebulous, even though technically they
may not be classed as enemies. The
Boston Symphony Orchestra is about to
choose another leader, and if New York
of our New England Athens-and, after
all, the Boston Orchestra is our ma
.tian's brightest musical gem and there
fore to be as jealousy guarded by New
York as it is by its more fortunate
sister city--it is to be hoped that
it will choose leader whose 10y
atty to the cause Of civilization
both is and always has been un-
questioned. Such a leader certainly
can be found. Indeed, such a leader
must be found For conductor to
wave baton in Boston, even if it is
for "The Star-Spangled Banner" while
his heart turns fondly to Munich or
Berlin, is not what we call loyalty to
civilization. America to-day has no
place for patriotic camouAage and
Boloism, musical or otherwise.
On the subject of the Philharmonic
Society, an interesting little book has
just appeared from the pen of the able,
accomplished, indefatigable James Glib
bons Huneker Mr.. Huneker gives a
short sketch Of the society's history
and long table Of the works per-
formed since 1892. The book is entitled
"The Philharmonic Society Of New
York: A Retrospect" What Mr.. Hun
eker has to say of the modern orches-
ira deserves to be quoted and remem-
bered. 1t is said in true Huneker
style:
"The unit in modern music is neither
the voice nor single instrument, nor
yet the music drama, with it's am
bilious attempt at synthesis of the
seven arts, but the orchestra, many
voiced, unity in multiplicity. Without
the pomp and splendor Of grand opera
devoid of such Fictitious concomitants
as the fashion and favor of the hour
the orchestra can interpret in less
than an hour the tragic intensity of the
music drama combined with the formal
severity Of the symphony 1t is at once
cor del and vor popuh From Bach
TO Debussy it can sing or suggest. As
intimate and lyric as the bird, the or
chestra is also the Jupiter Tonans Of
the musical Olympus. 1t can thunder
and blast. 1t can sigh like Romeo
and, as in magic mirror, it can show
Us fairy landscapes, and the darkest
crannies Of the heart. The human soul
liz dark forest; Tschaikowsky's music
eliminates both soul and forest. as
stravinskis fireworks light up the
the sky Of che world. The orchestra is
the latter day epic in action"
Who but the adorable James Gibbons
huneker could have written this?

Nine. Eua Gaufhier
To Sing Four Ne1u
Songs by Or1sfeira

AT her last recital of the season in
Aeolian Hall tomorrow evening, Nine.
Eva Gauthier, the young Canadian
singer, will again offer a programme Of
unhackneyed music, and, as on her
former programme, will introduce sew
eral unknown composers and a few
novelties by a composer whose songs
will on this occasion receive a first
hearing. These are the four Empress
sions," written especially for Nine.
Gauthier by Leo Ornstein.
In speaking of concert programmes,
Nine. Gauthier declares there is no
reason why the same songs and arias
should be resorted to time after time
without change, when there is such a
vast store of material at ones disposal
at the expense OF little research
work, not to mention the everAowing
tide of new works which are constantly
appearing.
I'm making up my programme" says
Nine. Gauthier, "the difficulty l find
is that l want to sing too many new
things. l grow so enthusiastic over
the material at hand that my pro-
gramme grows about three times its
normal size. | have to weed out and
eliminate, and sometimes | have to
cut out various things that | wanted

proved very popular with the audience,
and knowing it to be suited to your
own voice, there is the desire to sing
1t yourself.
However, there is an interest in
seeking out new things that cannot be
denied. New songs are brought to me
constantly, and when l hear of an in

anything that l could sing. At my
