Grow Flowers Win v~eoetabIes.

There is no reason why flowers and
vegetables should not be grown to-
gether. 1t is difficult to draw the line,
anyway. The dahlia, now one of the
o popular flowers, was originally
planted with the intention of using
the tubers as a potato substitute. The
scarlet runner bean, grown by the
acre on the farms of England, is most
often used In America as a climbing
vine around the house; In fact, there
are many persons not aware the beans
are good to eat.
The ideal garden is n which com
blnes flowers, vegetables and fruit.
Such a garden should have a place on
every farm and back OF every sub
urban home. Oftentlmes the vegetable
plot can be surrounded with a border
planted on two sides with small fruit
like raspberries, %currants, gooseberries
and grapes. and on the other two sides
with annual and perennial flowers.

"EASr GAY, GLAD AND YOUNG"
Her Aoe-old Optimism Stands as 4
Barrier Against the Materiaiism
Of the West.

1t Is strange, n very strange, hat
of the many who visit the East, so few
go in search of the spirit hat informs
1t. They recognize the beauty. the tor
rent of light and color, the setting Of
the marvellous drama, the mental, So
cial and political problems all, all
ave the one thing that is life, and that
in Its dying, If 1t dies. will take the
worlds hope with 1t.
For the East is the barrier set
against the materialism of the West,
writes l.. Adams Beck In Asia Maya
zine. She still believes; she lays her
hope and her life at the foot of her
affairs. With the gods she is at home
not in fear, but at ease-a child who
laughs and plays In his fathers house.
We call the East old. 1t is her eternal
youth that is the wellspring of hope
for the world. 1t is We who are old,
weary, disillusioned, who have drunk
the cup to the dregs and found 1t bit
ter-our women grow as hard as our
men our very children are cynics.
But the East is gay and glad and
young. Life has Its sorrows, but she
knows the wisdom of sorrow. She
does not speak of death-his truer
name is onward.
Sin is but n phase in the march OF
development. And for dogma-the
East is lenient. She says with Bahram
Mira: Truth is n bird that flies so
fast that the eye of men cannot follow
IT, and so high that 1t is lost to sight
