rouge on their cheeks. but over that,
instead of applying white or pink face
powder, they rubbed OF a powder made

Iamela refused and accepted these
bids for the latest thing in sensations
in the most erratic manner No one
could fathom just why she said, ''No,"
and much less why she occasionally
said "Yes," The mystery only added
to the demands for her company and
the Nays soon began to show an over
whelming preponderance over the
Ayes. Why? Simply because 1t was
not in the power of any of the host
esses to call up the moody girl and
say: my dear, we are going to have
just pork and beans for dinner tonight.
Won't you join us? Mr.. Robert Her
vey Randolph said he would drop In
for pot-luck."
Yes; every time Pamela had accept
ed an invitation, it was in the rapidly
waning hope that Mr.. Randolph, be-
of these very people, would appear
and come into his own. Could she
have surmised that on two separate
occasions the knight errant of her
thoughts had actually seen her in her
most ravishing bibless evening tucker,
had driven her to two familiar doors,
taken her money with averted face
and without inspecting the "clock,"
and had passed on to some quiet stand
to dream over her new glory and read
the latest batch of ads crying for news
Of the whereabouts and welfare of self
could she have known these appar-
emily insignificant items in the daily
life of the great city, she would have
wept her lovely eyes out twice over.
Such being her state of heart, i'm

tailed word for word the following con-
versatiOn which he had participated in

Miss Thornton had she been sitting
back in a ladylike manner, but at the
moment of the cabs collision with the
imperturbable curb, she was otherwise
occupied; in short, the glass being q
bit frosted. she was standing up and
trying to peek through the speaking

flew open with the shock, she also flew

With a cry of, "Oh. missi" the

still on hands and knees, she locked up

starter. Come back here an sign up

In the meantime, which wasn't
much more than the twinkling of an

dashed down the steps of the Poppy
club to the assistance of the loyeliest

tent on getting there first with a re-
mark-any remark; does he owe you

The effect was electrical. Miss
Thornton assumed freezing dignity.

COVER CROPPING
THE VINEYARD
(By Welch Grape Juice Company

(By Welch Grape Juice Company
1t is an established fact that vine
yards are permanently paying propc-
sition only when they are thoroughly
cultivated, regardless Of what other
good practices have been carried on.
But a good supply Of humus is also
essential to good vineyard production.
Due to the necessity for cultivation,
the only method we have of securing
this humus are by the use Of barn.
yard manure or cover crops.
In many cases the cost of trans
porting the manure is prohibitive. In
such cases the grower must rely on the
covercrop alone for his humus produce
ing agency. From past experience
with his soil the grower must decide
what it needs in order to know what
cover crop will be most beneficial. We
can only make a few general state
ments for guidance in this matter.
Heavy soils generally need OPEN
ing up, both for air drainage and to
give the roots a better growing bed.
A cover crop known to thrive on this
land, which will make a rank growth
before freezing is the one best suited
here. Rye is extensively used in the
Chautauqua grape belt and has proven
very satisfactory for this purpose.
The best practice is to drill the rye,
rather than to sow it broadcast. The
reason for drilling is to keep it out
of the grape rows where it is difficult
to turn under and to keep down next
year. -
When it is known that nitrogen is
lacking, double purpose can be
served by the cover crop. Any
leguminous crop which will make
good stand is advised for soils de-
ficient in nitrogen. Cow-peas have
been used extensively in the Ozark
region for orchard covering cropping
and are equally suitable for vineyard
use.
The cover crop that is killed by
fall frosts should be sown so that it is
heading when the frosts strike it. A
cover crop that survives the winter
should be planted so that growth is
stopped for the season just before
the crop starts jointing.
Rotation of cover crops is advisable,
Rye is often used one year and cow
horn turnips are planted the next
A double cover crop is very highly
recommended. This practice is car
ried out by planting cow-peas during
the first part of July. They are
turned under during the latter part
Of August or first of September. Then
the vineyard is sown to rye, which
makes some growth in the fall and
more in the spring before it is turned
under. The rye is recommended for
soils that wash badly during the
winter.
The practice of using cover crop
may be regarded as insurance. A
vineyard may show no great improve
ment in enc year but the supply of
humus is being kept up and the soil
/ is being constantly put in better
physical condition.
The turning under of cover crop
results in the upkeep of the supply Of
available plant food, in keeping the
soil open and increasing the area for
root development, in overcoming un-
favorable seasonal conditions by MAX y
ing changes in soil temperature
gradual, in stimulating growth carry
in the season and insures larger and
better crops.
