 "Oh, Kitty, I am so sorry" and l laid my cheek down upon it.
 Yes, it does look ugly, doesn't it? Lend me that rose colored scarf of yours, dear, and I'll wind it around that arm so that it won't show We must hurry and dress"
 l was quite excited at the thought of going to one of the more or less famous Hollywood parties When we arrived and Kitty pointed out to me- one after another, the names of the men and women of the screen and after each she tagged their salaries or their peccadillos, naturally l felt that at last l was one of them.
 As a rule, the women who are in pictures are more beautiful in She flesh than on the silver sheet There is nothing so cruel, so absolutely ruthless and relentless as the camera Some people have said that the cam era can not lie but it always lies one way or another. You never see an actor on the screen as he really is Some of the most popular men on the screen-men who are acclaimed for their good looks are very ugly off, and some very pretty women get

VIRGINIA MEETS JULIAN THORN.
 DYKE

There was something queer about Kitty's premonition of coming disas- ter. At the time I thought it was a realization of how utterly impossible was any happy outcome for her in her love for John Storm.
 As she said: Somehow I feel the worst is yet to come," her face fairly grew grey and pinched.
 To change the subject I asked quickly: Was John Storm at the studio today?"
 No, dear, and I was glad of 1t, especially as Julian had his big scenes where, in a frenzy, he stabbed the man I was about % marry"
 Isn't that a big part for a man, Tony Melville picked out of the street?"
 That's Tony all over, you know As soon as he. found that Julian had been an actor he enlarged his part and put in all this extra stuff. Julian touched me for money enough to buy two suits of clothes and just after a shot he looks quite presentable. His part as now written brings me in contact much more with Julian than I wanted or expected. Once, when he came near he clutched my arm.
 Look" and Kitty pulled up her

their contracts for the way they look in the managers office and not for the way they look on the screen.
 Tt would almost ,seem." Bruce Walters observed, "as Though there was something diabolically personal in the camera It shows such preju- Glces and such favoritism. One of the most charming girls I know in the profession. a hard worker and one who has beauty and ambition, failed simply because the camera would have none of her. And yet anyone meeting her face to face would say: What splendid subject for moving pictures.
 was very much interested in Bruce Walters conversation and only awoke with little start when Kitty said: ''Virgie allow me to present to you Julian Thorndyke."
 l looked up quickly. A young man growing slightly bald with very bril- liant dark eyes, an unnaturally white skin drawn over his cheek bones bowed to me without smiling.
 His lips were scarlet and thought to myself uncomfortably that he had roughed them.
 Miss Dalton tells me that you are her pal, Miss Winston'
 
 just what that word pal means, Mir. Thorndyke. l am very fond of Miss Walton. We live together, you know"
 He looked at me most intently and I felt a little chill run down my back.
 How do you like moving pictures, Mir. Thorndyke?"
 Not at all. After this picture I am going to take Miss Dalton back on the stage. She has told you, I presume. that we had an act together a few years ago."
 My heart stopped, for, as he said this, the red lips curled in sardonic smile over cruel, small, uncommonly white teeth and then-as though his lips had suddenly dried. the tip of his tongue came out and moistened them.
 I was reminded of snake as he did this. Will you dance. Miss Wins ton?" he asked perfunctorily.
 ''No. I don't dance well enough to try it with men I know so slightly" Then I will cut in on Kitty" he said. And tiny bit uncertainty, if rapidly, he walked toward Kitty, who was dancing with Bruce Walt CTS.
 Unceremoniously he drew her into his arms. Her face changed. Fear blanched it and she lost her step again and again. I could see that he was demonstrating with her. Finally, just as they reached me, l heard her say: T can't dance with you, Julian. Honestly l can't. My feet won't trek"

ket last season a long, gray melon. What is it. as I want to try about an acre? w. C. Decatur, Ala.
 A.-Irsh gray Is the variety. The quality is splendid, but land must be good to produce large enough for market.
 Q.--I have about an acre Irish po- tatoes six inches high that appear to have some form of blight. Some thing must be done immediately. What would you suggest? B. K, Hanceville, Ala.
 A. Mix eight or ten pounds of dry Bordeaux powder to 90 gallons of water and spray about every 10 days. Arsenate of lead. if you wish to con trol bugs. could be added at the rate of two to three pounds to the 5O- gallon mixture. This treatment is sure shot for potato blight and the increased yield will certainly pay you for the trouble.

Lazy Way Growing Tomatoes
 Like rheumatism, nearly everybody has sure remedy for curing all the ills attending the growing of to- matoes. Most gardeners have their own pet way, and there is generally merit in all plans insisted upon and it's not the purpose here to give any new plan or remedy, but 10 call attention to the wonderful success of what might be called the lazy mans way. Prepare well fertlzed hills, four feet apart each way. Plant about q dozen seed to each hill, cul- tlvate and leave all plants until about five or six inches tall, select the best looking plant down te one and pull up all the balance. Keep well cultivated, but don't prune or stake up. Tho vines in time will literally cover the ground and be alive and still bearing when frost comes in No- vember You may expect some of the fruit to rot, but if worms arc kept down with some suitable insec- ticide, you will be astonished at the tremendous yield. Keep the weeds pulled out.

 Q.-How much lime would you use on a garden about 50 by 50 feet? H. A. Ensley, Ala.
 A.--Broadcast on top of the soil 25 to 50 pounds and best not to cover, or at least very lightly.
 Q.-What is a good remedy for rust on blackberry vines2 A. r. l..
 A.-Dust well with common sul- phur is often effective. Spraying
 with solution of copperas three pounds te 50 gallons of water Is good. and if three pounds of dry lime sul- phur be added to this mixture, better results are accomplished. X weak so- lution of Bordeaux mixture. say a ta- hlespoonful of dry Bordeaux mixture to a gallon of water, should not hurt foliage and would doubtless prove ef- fective.
 Q.-I have some fine apple trees
 that are bothered every year with scab or mldew, What would you use C. B. K, Albertville, Ala.
 A=-Mix three 10 four pounds of dry lime sulphur into 30 gallons water and spray thoroughly The same , quantity of copperas may be dis
 solved and poured into the mixture. which makes 1t even more effective. | Use while fresh made and keep well stirred. This mixture Is also good for rust and various forms of mlldew on l other plants.

QUESTIONS AND AN" "bhs
 Q.-I spent lot of money in bav- ing shrubbery put out in January and while all of it is alive, 1t is making no growth. Can you suggest help? Mrs. w, Columbus, Miss.
 A,-Work into the soil around each plant a good mulch of well decayed COW manure or good, rich black soil or leaf mould. This not only fertil- izes the plants, but attracts and con- serves heat and moisture The soil has been too cold for rapid growth of most plants.
 Q.-Some of my fruit trees. roses and grapes set out in March nave never sprouted Are they likely to sprout later? Mrs. B., Ashvil'e, Ala.
 A.-Cut off down about even with the ground, work around them, and some may yet throw out growth from the roots or stem underground.
 Q-Is there more than one variety of Rudbeckia? Mrs. T.
 A.-There are six or more culti- vated sorts, the most common of which are known as Golden Glow Sweet Coneflower. Black keyed Susan, Coneflower, etc.
 Q.-I want to put in crop of uarge, late heavy yielding tomatoes. What is a dependable sort? M. N, Evergreen, Ala:
 A.-Matchless is very desirable, vigorous grower, fruit uniform, large, smooth. tough skin, does not crack. later and a better color than Stone Red Rock is not quite so late. but Is also a splendid variety for market. The Stone nearly always gives satis- faction. In fact, either will answer your purpose.
 Q.--I have some fine white peonies in bloom, but some little bug or insect attacks the bloom. What would you put on them to control? Mrs. l.. C., Bessemer. Ala.
 A.--Dust the plant and bloom lightly with ordinary insect powder.

EmcrEcncy PInntr


 It is often the case that homo owner will put off planting shrubs and other decorative plants until it's too late to create the effect, that is so much desired for the summer and fall months. Some forget that there are certain quick growing annuals that for temporary use or effect, are very effective and must be resorted to if any measure of ones desire is to be satisfied.
 The palma-christi or castor oil plant in some varieties, when proper ly disposed, creates a wonderful profusion of decorative foliage. The ealadum or elephant ear may be em- ployed to great advantage. Cannas are quick and reliable growers in most any situation. Dahlia roots, put out even as late as June, will give splendid results. Gladiolus can be made to serve in any scheme of quick results. Tube roses are most valu- able. Asters from seed and even variety of sunflowers will greatly help. It's never too late to plant q half dozen or more desirable plants.

New Names Tor oId Ffowers

Every day The Age-Herald is be- ing asked to identify certain names given to flowers by different seed catoIogs. magazines and ads, now sol numerous in certain publications The writer does not claim to know all about flowers, although he has been on the job over 30 years; but where any definite description is given, 1t is possible in most cases to give the needed information.
 Unfortunately, many of our best known flowers arc known by certain common names in certain localities, that become a puzzle to other sec tions. For example, the common bachelors button is widely known in different sections, under more than a dozen different names. Some deal CTS may manufacture name pure aud simple, advertise the variety as something new and important, and generally at fancy price. Many ladies will sit down and order what they believe to be some new thing, and often at a big price, only 10 find out that they already have the same flower or could buy locally at a much cheaper price.
