BEsTOW THOUGHT ON GARDEN
Promiscuous Planting of Flowers,
Trees, and Shrubs Is Not to Be
Recommended.

The main planting Of any country
place should be of trees and shrubs.
Flowers should be used as decorations.
They may be thrown in freely about
the borders of the place; not in beds
in the center of the lawn. They show
off better when seen against a back
ground; this background may be TO-
liage, a building, a rock or fence.
Where to plant flowers is really
more important than what to plant.
In front of bushes, in the corner by
the steps, against the foundation OF
the residence or dollhouse, along a
fence or walk-these are the places
for flowers. A single petunia plant
against a background of foliage is
worth a dozen similar plants in the
center Of the lawn. Too many flowers
make a place overgaudy. Too much
paint may spoil the effect of a good
building. The decoration of yard
as of a house, should be dainty.
The open-centered yard may be a
picture, the promiscuously-plan
yard may be a nursery or forest. A
little color scattered In here and there
puts the finish to the picture. A dash
Of color gives spirit and character to
the brook or pond, to the ledge of
rocks, to the old stump or to the
pile Of rubbish.

The Etiquette of Weddings

THE bride, Of course, chooses the
Il day and the hour for her we'd
| ding. Only two days in the week
have been set aside as inappropriate
for weddings, and they are Sunday
and Friday, and in spite of the old
rhyme that libels Saturday as mo day
at ALL" it is as popular as any other.
Almost any hour may be chosen, but
custom has established the hours
from eight until three as correct, and
in the Anglican church high noon is
favored. There are many evening
weddings, Notwithstanding these old
established hours, and many that are
celebrated in the afternoon later than
three o'clock. There are too many
things to be considered in fixing the
hours to make hard and fast rules
concerning them.
The Home Wedding.
A home wedding is simpler than a
church wedding but the rules govern
ing the duties of the brides parents,
same. The rooms of the home, to be
used at the wedding are usually cleared
of small pieces of furniture and
prettily decorated with flowers and
foliage, and a home allows the eXer-
else Of individual taste in this regard.
Greenery is usually massed where the
bride and groom are to stand, and
when the ceremony Is finished the
bride and groom turn to face the
guests and receive congratulations. If
a wedding breakfast is served table
for the bride and groom, their par
ents and their attendants Is set, and
others for the guests. Or, the maid or
matron Of honor and the best man,
with all the other attendants may be
seated at one table and the bride and
groom at another, with their immedi-
ate relatives. At wedding reception
the parents Of the bride first receive
the guests and the parents Of the
groom may stand with them, or the
latter may stand near the bride and
groom. The best man and ushers make
the presentations to the bride and
groom, and the brides attendants are
grouped somewhere near her. Re-
freshments are served at wedding re-
ception just as at formal "at home"
The bride cuts the first piece Of we'd
ding cake. White boxes, containing
pieces of wedding cake and marked in
gold o. silver letters, with the COM
bined initials of the bride and groom
are given to lie guests as they leave.
When the bride leaves the guests,
to dress for her wedding journey, her
maid of honor usually goes with her
to take care Of any commission the
bride may have for her, and the best
man stays faithfully by the side of
the groom. AS the bride comes down
he stairs she losses her bouquet to

been chosen for the maids. but her
dress is made differently in order to
make distinction, and dignified de-
sign is chosen for it. Often the attend.
ant of honor uses the color worn by
the maids in the foundation of her
gown, yelling it with lace or some
other diaphanous Overdress. Or she
may wear the same color in different
material as when the maids wear tat.
feta and she chooses georgette. But
in any case she defers to the Judgment
of the bride.
A beautiful gown for the maid OF
matron of honor is pictured above. II
is made Of lace, point desprit, with
bands of georgette and lace bordering
the three flounces that make the skirt
The bodice has the same inserts and a
band of narrow ribbon about it in adj
dition. This narrow ribbon reappears
below the crushed girdle of georgette
in a sash tied at the left side, and the
chances are that it is repetition OF
similar decoration on the maids
gowns. Small half-wreaths of little
chiffon roses are enchanting in this
gown and they are suspended from the
sleeves, at the front of the girdle anG
at irregular intervals on the flounces
One might look far without finding q
lovelier dress than this.

The Corset VOGUE.

Corsets, the real foundation Of style
and of grace, are particularly inter-
esting this season. The uncorseted
figure is not fashionable and affected
by only small percentage of the
smart women of Paris. But cOrsets
that give an easy, graceful, supple ap-
pearance are decidedly in vogue. This
means that corsets Of tricot are the
proper thing-the smartest models are
cut long over the hip-and short above
the waistline and are lightly boned
If boned at all. One new model re-
Gently seen has only the front steels
and the small bones at the lacings in
the back. This Is an American cor
set and adequately fits the figure re-
quirements of the young American
woman.

try the yards are covered with fine

1t is said New Englanders are so

not use rakes in gathering the cut
grass after mower goes over it. In
stead they sweep the cut grass away.
They assert that rakes tear the roots

Those Who Sell Goods on
Credit Have Become Great
Nuisance and Cause Much
Annoyance to Them.

Some of the farmers of this sec
ton have determined to put stop
to the tricks of trade of the peddlers
who travel around from farm to farm
and sell all kinds of junk, such as
pictures, cheap watches, clocks, jew
elry of all kinds, patent medicines,
musical instruments, ETC., to the
hands employed on the place, take
mortgages on the stock, cows and
hogs, which are really not the prop
erty of the tenants, and when the
harvest season comes are very annoy
ing about making their collections,
producing their mortgages as evil
dence that the trade was made IN
good faith, and then demand their
money.
No one except those who are sub
jected to the annoyance that is
brought about by the agents have
any idea of the eXtensiveness OF
their operations. The articles when
they offer for sale are always hlgh'
but that does not make any DIFFER
ence with the tenants if they are al
lowed several months in which to
make payments. Immediate posses
sion is what they covet, regardless OF
the prices which they will have to
pay when the crops are gathered:
Notices have been posted by some OF
the large land owners forblddlng
trespassing on their lands of any de-
scription, which they hope will have
the effect of keeping off traders and
trafickers who seek to make an easy
living by retailing on credit the artl-
cles above mentioned at prices that
will insure them big profit.

in his bachelor quarters in Bridge
port. In other words these two,
though happily married, have parted
and now are working out Utopian
ideals of their own in order that they
NAV Give happily ever after. -,
Ever since she could push a pencil
across a sheet of paper or get any
kind of audience for her ideals Nina
Wilcox Putnam has been a fiery
evangelist for the econmic lndepend-
ence of women. She argues that clean
romance hasn't a chance in the world
because marriage implies that woman
is dependent on her husband for sup
port. So she proposes to work unaer

her husband is working under ldeal
conditions in Bridgeport.

weekend at "The Christmas Trees

port and enjoys a novel lark with her
husband in his bachelor quarters: The
couple maintain rooms in New York
city. where they keep all their dress
clothes. There Mr.. and Mrs. Sander
