and cucumbers and melons for an early
start. One or two seeds to a pot of
the two-inch size may be planted and
the stronger of the two seedlings re-
tanned to grow along.
For plants which cannot be trans
planted readily if the roots are dis
turbed in the operation these paper
pots are ideal. If cucumbers can be
given two or three weeks start by this
method, they are in much better shape
to withstand the ravages of the early
bugs which annually take heavy toll
of the seeding plants in the open
ground and make it necessary to plant
more seeds to the hill than could be
grown should they all survive.
In the larger-sized paper pots, gladi-
be sprouted and placed in the ground
with an advantage of a months
growth over the earliest date 1t would
be possible to plant them in the open.
The pots are so cheap in price that
they can be thrown away after using
with no real loss.
One precaution is necessary in u.s.
ing these pots. They should not be
allowed TO stand in water or the bot
toms will rot out while the sides re-
main intact. 1t is necessary to provide
drainage in all but the smallest sizes
with pieces Of broken earthen flower
pots, crockery or few pebbles.
Castor beans may be given a fine
start with these paper pots which will
bring them to majestic proportions
much earlier than if planted in the
open. Planting the seeds in these
little pots saves the work of trans
planting which will become imperative
if the seed is planted in the usual way
in a seed box indoors or in rows in a
hotbed or cold frane.-NationaI Gar
den Bureau.

Soil Should Be Rich and Carefully Pull

The soil should be rich and carefully

cannot hope to get good lawn on the
soil that came from the cellar, s or 10
feet below the surface. If the soil Is
not suitable, have enough good dirt
hauled in to make top surface foot

come on deep, well-fertiliZed soil; If
you have good soil rightly prepared,
you will have good lawn. The best

PLAN FOR FRUIT
IN HOME GARDEN
Trees and Bearing Bushes
Should Be Raised in Addition
to the Vegetables.
GROW CROPS BETWEEN TREES
Strawberries, Raspberries, BIackber-
ries, Gooseberries, currants and
Others May Occupy Same
Space and Do Well.

The more general planting Of both
standard and small fruits in addition
to the home vegetable garden would
contribute materially to the health
and pleasure of the average family
and furnish a supply of very desirable
fruit and fruit products at relatively
small cost. In many localities 1t Is
extremely difficult to secure contin-
uous supply of fruits in pleasing va
riety by purchasing on the market,
and one of the most important fea-
lures of the plan for the home fruit
plantation is the selection of kinds
of fruits and varieties of those kinds
which will do well in the given local
ity and which will serve best the pur-
pose for which they are desired.
The home fruit plot will necessarily
be planned from the standpoint Of the
available space, the soil and climatic
limitations, and the needs of the fam
lily throughout the year. In many
cases it may be feasible to grow all
the fruit needed, but only that which
can be most readily produced. Among
the fruits that may be grown through
out the greater part of the country
are apples, pears, peaches, plums.
strawberries, blackberries and dew
berries. Raspberries, currants, cher
ries, ounces, apricots, figs and citrus
fruits are more or less restricted to
special localities. In colder sections
the winters are too severe for peaches
and all the fruits requiring a warm
climate, while in the warmer sections,
apples, currants, goOSeberries, rasp-
berries and certain varieties of several
Of the other fruits fail because they
cannot withstand the long hot sum-
mers and winters.
The plan of the home fruit garden,
will, therefore, depend largely upon
the kind of fruits adapted to the To-
cality. On the whole, however, the
paintings should be so arranged that
the larger growing trees such as apple,
peach and pear will interfere the least
with the cultivation of the smaller
fruits or the vegetable garden. In
some of the most successful home
fruit gardens the larger trees are head
ed rather high, that is, or feet to
the lower branches, and row Of small
fruits are grown Directs in the row
Of fruit trees. Between the rows of
fruit trees, raspberries, blackberries,
dewberries and Strawberries are plant
ed in rows which are about s or 9 feet
apart. The vegetables are then grown
in the space between these rows of ber-
ries. Peach trees are, as a rule, plant
ed as filters between apple and pear
trees. Where the area is extremely
limited the semi-dwart varieties of ap-

GERALDINE

MORSE mythology is filled with
~ valiant names which are the fore
runners of many of our feminine
proper names in current use today.
Geraldine Is one such and her history
dates back to the days when Valkyries
drove their splendid chariots over the
fields OF conflict in the land of the
midnight sun. 1t means spear
power" thus making its fortunate
possessor one of the company of battle
maids so honored by those Of Scan
,dinavian blood.
From Norway and Sweden. the fore
runner of Geraldine made its appear
iance among the Angio-Saxons as st.
iGerhold, which was straightway
changed to Gerald and because of the
sanity reputation of its first bearer
the masculine name became enormous
ly popular in England, where 1t is
still a favorite in the aristocratic
class. "Morte dArthur" added to the
vogue of Gerald, since Gareth, or Gar
ret, Knight of the Round Table, was
said TO be the equivalent for Gerald.
Some etymologists disagree with this
contention.
The first Geraldine was Lady Eliza
beth Fitzgerald. daughter of the
famous Maurice Fitzgerald, whom
Surrey made the heroine of his poetry
under the title of Fair Geraldine.
Geraldine's talismanic gem is the
emerald which is said TO give the
wearer such intuitive powers that she
may be able TO foretell events. 1t
quickens the intelligence and sharpens
the wits, but is an enemy TO passion.
Wednesday is Geraldine's lucky day
and her lucky number. The haw-
khorne is her flower.

LATE HOURS

The wee small hours ayant the twall-
Burns.
WHY is it that the dances you
Wv dance-or once danced-after
one O'Clock always seem so much more
stimulating and joyous than the
dances that you dance while the night
is still young?
1t may be that it is only after we
have been dancing for some time that
we get really into the swing of it, or
perhaps we can find the explanation in
the old truism that stolen sweets are
best, and that it is only because we
have a feeling that we are robbing
ourselves of our sleep that we enjoy
these early morning dances.
The fact is that while the war lasted
our dances were shorter. And some
people went so far as to predict that
we could never go back to the old-time
custom of dancing or allowing our
daughters and sons to dance until "all
hours" of the morning. But the
armistice had not been signed many
DAYS before dances were lasting long
or and now all the old-time enthus-
iasm for dancing till dawn seems to
have been revived. At least sucn seems
TO be the case in many parts of the
country and in Washington and New
York more than one hostess has
served breakfast to her late dance
guests at about five in the morning
after q dance. And this breakfast, be
II known. consists Of nothing less
hearty than coffee, rolls and sausages.
During war days the dances began
earlier, but now the hour has been
set on to ten O'Clock in good many
cases. This means a supper at mid
night or somewhat laler. OF course
many people feel that they have tar
ried long enough if they linger until
after supper, but the dance enthus-
iasts-the young folk-linger on In the
good old-fashioned way.
Whatever your own taste for late
hours may be, however, you should al
WAYS make sure that you are not out
staying your welcome and just because
a company of young persons become
more interested In their dancing as
the hours advance Is no reason why
they should impose on the good nature
of a hostess who has not planned for
such a late breaking up Of her party.
In general, it is safe to assume that II

he did not know that a good part of
the flour had been shaken from his
fur coat by running so far.
There was enough of it left, how
ever, so that when he grabbed at a
plump hen her wings tapped so that
the -four flew out of his coat and got
into Reddy's nose and he had to drop
his dinner and run.
Mr.. Dog had heard the connection
and out he came barking loudly. He
leaped over the wall and after Reddy
he ran.
But just as Mr.. Dog was upon him,
Reddy passed bush and as his tail
struck it. out flew the -four straight
into the face of Mr.. Dog.
He choked and he barked and by
the time he could breathe Reddy Fox
was nowhere in sight.
When Reddy reached home his
mother was at the door, and though
he tried TO explain why he jumped
into the flour barrel, she would not
listen but beat his coat until there
was no flour left in it.
Mother was very rough cleaning
my coat said Reddy, rubbing his
back as he sat by the fire beside his
grandpa later. 81 wonder if l had a
coat like my Arctic cousins if she
would try to beat the white out of
that?"
"She might" said grandpa, with a
twinkle in his eye. You better not
try any scheme for changing the color
of your coat, for it will soon be spring

HOW TO GROW PEPPERS

Seeds of peppers should be
sown in hotbed or in box in
the house about 8 weeks before
the time for setting the plants in
the garden. The plants are ten

planted until the ground is warm
and all danger Of frost is past.
Set the plants 15 to Is inches
apart in rows 21s to feet apart.
The cultivation and treatment Of
peppers should be the same as
for tomatoes and eggplants.
There are a large number of

to be allowed to 60 through the factory
where you manufacture Edgeworth To-

that tobacco manufacture was a COM

very much impressed by seeing how care
fully you choose the leaf tobaecos used
in Edgeworth, how exactly you blend and
treat the various kinds of leaves, how
scrupulously clean your factory is kept.
During my visit helped myself to q
can of Edgeworth from pile on one OF

to pay for that can. / know you'd have
been glad to give it to me, but / want to
pay for it because I consider it the best

Until that time I'd rever used a pipe
tobacco that really suited me. One kind
was too strong-it left me groggy. An
other burned unevenly and wouldn't stay
lighted. Still another gave me sensa-
ton ike heartburn. None tasted quite
right. and practically every kind. after
two or three pipefuls, left me with sore
tongue and parched mouth and a dark,
dark brown taste.
Well, smoked that package Of Edge
worth from your factory and, TO be brief,
