Another week passed as usual. to

an unusual thing at noon. on Satur-
day. She lowered about them, rest
less. unbusy fingers fairly aching to
tackle the dinner dishes. Jim, Sr.,
put on his coat, fused a bit with the
clothes brush, mumbled a careless
gOod-by and was off. He had not even
asked her to go along, and she sat
staring at the closed door, hot tears
OF disappointment tricklfng down her
cheeks. She had dreamed of what he
would say when she replied to his u.s.
ual question, "Sure I'll go; wait till

her chance.
She wanted to sulk, and then she
thought Of the boyish lonesomeness of
her big, bashful husband, and she
hurriedly slipped on her things, gave
whimsical glance at the dinner
dishes piled high, and set out.
Following the crowd, she landed at
the field and bought her ticket She
had no idea which were considered
the best seats, but again she followed
the crowd out to the bleachers. She
tripped along as though always accus-
toned to this sort of thing, when, in
reality, her heart was pounding wild
ly and she wanted only to sink into
a corner somewhere. She glanced up
into the sea Of faces. A man arose
suddenly. eyes wide, unbelieving rec

credulous delight, "Mary," he called
softly.
'Unbounded relief shot through her
and she smilingly wended her way up

SMALL GARDEN WORTH WHILE
Ground Which Some Might
Thing Negligible.

Don't despise the little patch Of
ground for vegetable garden. Even
little pocket handkerchief sized
patch will produce something worth
while. A stalwart tomato plant
trained to b stake can be grown in q
foot square of ground. and training
a single trunk to stake Is the very
best and the ideal way Of growing
tomatoes.
It is wasteful to allow them to
sprawl over the ground in the old
fashioned way where it Is impossible
to gather the tomatoes without injur-
Ing the vines, and when a portion OF
the fruit Is likely to rot from contact
with the earth.
Accommodate the vegetable that can
be planted closely to the size Of the
garden. Even by 5 patch would
grow lettuce, radishes and young
onions for q number of meals for a
small family. A 10 by 10 garden,
which is usually within the reach Of
anybody who has any garden room at
all, will give substantial return. 1t
wouldn't accommodate much In the
way of sweet corn, potatoes or melons.
but 1t would take care Of tomatoes,
peppers, radishes, young onions. car
rots, few beets, string beans or
other vegetables that do not need too
much room.

PAINT THAT MAKES OR MARS
OF Immense Importance ls the Seleo-
tIon Of Color to Suit Style
Of Structure.

Just as important as a new costume
as a proclamation to the world Of mod
ishness Is the coat of paint that mars
or makes the exterior of home. 1t
is signal sign Of thrift and self-re-
spect varying just in the degree OF
good taste which has been employed
in the selection of color scheme
which is harmonious with the homes
surroundings.
No such latitude Is possible In the
decoration of an exterior as that
which may be used upon the interior.
It Is not the place for the expression
Of personal individuality. Rather
the outside of home, observed con-
stantly by the world, is governed by
a conventionality which abhors the
bizarre.
Regardless of climate, 1t Is the
style of architecture which has been
employed In the home building and
the nature Of its surroundings which
must govern to large extent the
colors chosen.
A house which Is set closely
among trees or shrubbery. 1t Is as
serted by those who have made a
study of the problem, should never
be painted green or olive, although
a green shade for trimming purposes
may be used. For the body of the
house 1t is much better that colors
| contrasting with the background
should be utilized.
| II house Is low, with tendency
toward squattiness, dark coioi
should not be used. A lighter shade
will preserve the benefit Of wha,
height the structure possesses.
