Using situation.
The whole point of sunken garden. the
reason Tor Its existence, is to afford shelter to
Plants which otherwise might suffer In such
a garden one should find the earliest snow
drops, the Christmas rose blooming in De-
cember, gay-colored berries lingering until the
latest moment as If loath to fall If there
were border planned to give pleasure to the
eye from January to December if the sunken
space were filled with iris, SO that from the
earliest Florentine to the last Japanese va
1lety one looked down on sea of color. there
might be some reason for its having been
built into Hudson Park. But as it is -!
What could one do with it," asks the New
Citizen, with the dug out space the masonry
and the water?"-
Father Knickerbocker," she says at last.
this is silly sunken garden, but rip out that
bit OF balustrade, fill in this place with water
and you'll have a corking swimming pool!
Gut the two opposing grass banks to per-
pendicular wall, make the lower end slope
gradually, and have sand beach for the
children. See if it isn't more popular in the
nelghborhood than this useless nondescript!"
1t is possible Father Knickerbocker might
take up the idea. 1t is certain he never
thought of it.
Besides" she continues, "that basin filled
with water would make your elephantine con-
crete portico look better. And for heavens
sake get some color in the place! That play
ground is as colorless as ja-no wonder
the children find vacant lots on Seventh Ave-
rue more inspiring- Make a garden bed
alongside the fence and put vines there, Bit
tersweet, wstaria. roses, clematis, trumpet
creeper, japanese Enonymus for the winter
or even scarlet runner beans"-
But the expense!" objects Father Knicker-
booker.
"Expense!" excaims his consort "Thc
school children next door can take care of the
garden, and I'll give you a dollar for tho
seeds! Besides, how much did you spend for
all that masonry that is of no use at all?"
but such things aren't done," protests
Father Knickerbocker. "You can't mix up
parks and school gardens and swimming pools
that way. Your place is in the home anyway
in spite of that fool legislation that gave you
VOTE Man is the oak and woman the ivy
You should depend on my wisdom as on my
strength"
"Quite so. And the ivy's business is to mark
deficiencies and veil defects and to make
useless stump LOOK green and promising. while
apparently cinging to it for support Say
nothing, Father Knickerbocker, but do as
ask, and you'll find yourself getting credit for
plenty of things where there was Only blame
before. All I want is to see that the children
get the pool"

ing IL between Clarkson and Leroy streets
TO feminine eye Hudson Park looks like
creation in concrete, or as if some one had
offered a solution of the following problem:
b is contractor. Given friendly admin
lstration, how much concrete can he put in a
park 200x300 yards and get away with it as
necessary expenditures"
Tall iron ratings spaced by heavy concrete
posts, and never sign of vine to soften
them, inclose the park The east end of it.
next the Clarkson Street school, is given over
to playground, perhaps 100 feet square,
barren ground and rows of swing apparatus,
the latter practical enough, but as unbeautiful
as an elevated trestle.
The parks chef d'@uure is the massive
pillared concrete portico or summer house
which surmounts fountain and forms the
heavily Fashioned east wall of what one might
suppose was a sunken garden in the mind of
the architect.
This summer house is about as large as the
one on Riverside Drive at 122d Street, but
more massive The Riverside Drive summer
house overlooks the river, and from it one may
watch the passing boats, look across to the
green line Of the Jersey shore and see the
sunset reflected in the ever-moving water, it's
colors changed and made iridescent by the
swell of a passing steamer-in short, "There's
reason" But this pillared summer house
in Hudson Park, with it's heavy balustrade,
overlooks an excavation some 200 feet long
and $50 feet wide. 1t is an elaborate lookout
place with nothing to look at!

What the Architect Thought,
But Didn't Do

And If there were a sunken garden in the
mind of the architect, it stayed there The
massive steps descend to a small wall foun-
tain, now empty of water. A long narrow
basin, terminated by low balustrade scpa-
rating two panels of grass, fills the bed ut the
excavation. And that's all the garden there is.
The soil is evidently poor, for the top layer
has been removed, and the grass has needed
coaxing.
A tall fence of wire netting surrounds the
excavation to spare the grass from profane
Feet, and especially to circumvent the small
boys who used to slide down it's sloping grass
sides to the concrete path.~->a feat which the
feminine citizen views with mingled sorrow
and admiration: sorrow for the ruin of small
trousers and admiration for the ingenuity

''The Honor System is considered

An illustration of the dangers en-

Etiquette

When telephoning, do not begin
your conversation with the question,
WHO is this?'' Speak word OF
greeting and then ask for the person
you wish to speak to.
J-Crackers or waters should not be
broken and dropped into ones soup.
The soup should be taken into the
spoon by dipping the edge farthsst
from you, and filing the spoon half
full. You then sip the liquid from the
side nearest you; and this edge of
the spoon need not be dipped in the
soup at all. A small piece is broken
from the wafer with the fingers and
paced in thIe mouth at frequent in
tervals while you are slipping the
soup. If soup is served in a bowl or
soup plate, it must be transferred to
the mouth only with the spoon; If
served in a cup, you may drink 1t
from the cup after the first few sips.
ANY LIQUID should be taken into the
spoon and transferred to the mouth
in the manner just described above

To save both candles and table

IMPORTANT FACTS
ABOUT USE
OF Meal!

People repeatedly ask two questronE
about corn meal when the subject is,
brought to their attention as a food
saving measure.
First. Why does corn meaI=costsot
much?
Second. If we have an abundance
of this cereal and the allies are short
of food, would not it be just as well
to ship them corn meal instead OF
wheat flour?
The answer to the first question is
now appearing in the price of corn
meal itself-this staple was abnormal
in price during most of the 1916 crop
year, because our corn production
was short. AS it takes two or three
months for the new crop to come to
market and be handled by nlillers,
lower prices based on the 1917 crop
were not expected to be apparent to
the consumer until about January,
1918.
AS to- the suggestion that we ship
corn meal instead Of wheat to our as
sociates in the war, the following facts
are submitted:
They are already mixing corn meal,
potato starch, rice flour, barley -four,
and other substitutes in their bread.
In Great Britain the percentage Of
other cereals is at least 20 per cent.
by law, and may be as high as SO per
cent. Throughout Europe today white
wheat bread is practically unknown
Apart from Italy, there are few mills
in western and southern Europe with
equipment to grind corn for human
food; and even if equipment were
aEsiE2hle, millers in those countries
LACK experience in grinding corn
meal. 1t has been suggested that We
might make the corn meal in this
country and ship it abroad, but that is
open to the objection that corn meal
is very likely to spoil in transit. Italy
uses a considerable proportion~of corn
meal in regular diet but other coun-
tries do not understand making corn
preparations, and hot breads are not
part of the European diet. Just now
the wisest course in winning the war
is to send every bushel of wheat that
we can save.
