Decoration Of Lawn


To the Editor OF the Won ans Page:
Dear Madam am puzzled over
decorative scheme for my lawn. I have
a very pretty lawn, high near the porch
and slopng gradually to the walk. l
have it edged with privct. My neighbor
did the same, so we have not divided
our lawns and both look wide and
pretty. I have planted two boxwood
trees in handsome boxes on the stone
rests that end my porch. My father
sent me a tree that smells like a pine
tree, yet it is not one. as its needles
are very soft. Is it n cedar tree?
placed it about n foot from the porch in
the center of the lawn. Now I want
to get two very small pine trees and
place them on the lawn. But l also in
tend to get a rose climber on each side
Of the porch. Would the pine trees be
out of place, then? I have seen very
expensive homes having almost forests
on their lawns not larger than mine.
have heard that these trees interfere
with the growth of the grass. Is this
true? What rose climber shall J have
pink or white? The color scheme of my
porch is gray. black and rose carried
out in the painting and cretonnes.
What articles should be placed on an
upright piano, also on n sectional book
case! Aren't square tables more stylish
for dining room than round ones :?
do they use mahogany in the living
room or reed furniture? I mean ali
the year round. Mrs. X g
The question about the trees on tho
lawn could be answered better by a
florist. When you buy the rose climb
er, ask him about the grass being hurt
by the number Of trees on the lawn.
l do not think that this hurts the grass
at all, but l cannot speak definitely
on this matter. Perhaps the tree that
you have is a hemlock. The hemlock
needles are very soft and of blush
green. | think the pink rose would be
very pretty on the porch with the pines
on the lawn. Why don't you have pink
on one side of the porch and white on the
other? 1t is better not to put anything
except, perhaps. a pile of sheet music.
on top of an upright piano. for a bowl
or vase or anything of that kind is
sure to rattle with the vibration of the
piano when it is played. Hang pic
ture on the wall directly above the
piano if it seems to look bare. Ma
hogany candlesticks at each end of the
bookcase and clock or a pretty bowl
in the middle look very well. or you
might put short row of books in the
middle, with fancy bookrests at each
end. The shape of the table in the
dining room usually depends upon the
size of the room and the family. A
small table is usually round, but a
! larger one is better if it is square. A
round table also look better in a small
room. Either mahogany or reed furni :
ture is used all the year round in the
living room. but mahogany is better
investment. as it lasts so much longer.
Reed breaks easily and gets soiled.

Have a Rainy-Day Picnic
When the Weather Fails Riddles

CUPPOSE it rains the day you are
~ going to the picnic. The children
will be much disappointed. So. you
mothers. make a new kind of picnic.
BY telephone, or in other ways,
reach all the children who were to be
at the original party and ask them to
call at your home about 2 o'clock.
Before the guests begin to arrive
it is necessary to have on hand some
inexpensive blank books and cover them
with bright green paper muslin, if pos
sible. Print on each book "Our Pic
mic.
As each child comes, give it book.
Draw up chairs around a large table,
on which there are boxes filled with
postcards, advertisements, Illustrations,
etc. from old copies Of magazines.
There must also be several pairs of
scissors and bottles of mucilage.
The first point for the children to de-
eide is the place for the picnic. If
they decide on some place in the coun-
try, as no doubt they will, each one
must search the picture pages for some
country scene. When he has found this,
he cuts it out neatly and pastes it
on the blank book cover just below the
title.
Next, they must choose the convey
ance in which each would like to go
to the picnic. Choice will range from a
donkey to a row boat and from q motor
car to chariot. These conveyances
the children paste on the first inside
! page of the picnic book.
! After this they decide what to take
with them-tents, hammocks. baskets,
boxes and things to eat. About these
things every child will have different
ideas.
These are also pasted in the book.
Later they hunt for interesting
things to be seen on the way or after
reaching the picnic grounds.
When each child has finished his book
he must tell story about his picnic.
Last. but not least, the mother
spreads the cloth on the carpet and
places on it all the good things to eat
This is to be done in real picnic fash =

Europe this fruit is universally es-
teemed, and while it forms part of
the hors d'oeuvres Of the epicures'
tables, it will also be found as part of
the substantial dishes that are within

the leaf and a scaly whitish gray un-
derneath The flowers are small and
grow in thick clusters The fruit is
oval in shape; it is first green, then
deep purple and finally black, when
ripe. An olive tree, owing to the
abundance of its fruit, is a valuable
possession to its owner.
The olive of commerce is gathered
before it is ripe; it is first stepped in
lime water to neutralize it and then
soaked in brine; it is then ready to
export. For expectation olives are
packed into immense hogsheads.
Many delicious and attractive ap-
petizers and dishes and sandwiches
may be prepared from the olive.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shsnpoos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
sifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleansss thor
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dit and
dandruf.
