loveliness. They are well adapted
for borders of shrubbery or as single
specimens and. we could i'll spare
them from our parks and lawns.
Styrax is a very large genus. There
are about 100 species. confined mostly
to the tropical, subtropical and
warmer temperate regions OF Amer

are deciduous; some are evergreen.

from a European storax. but is at

The storaxes in cultivation are
graceful. handsome shrubs, usually
of a loose. spreading habit, attractive
not only in their summer foliage but
in the artistic confguration of their
bare branches in winter as well.

My Neighbor Says:

For a starch polish make a
good thick solution of gum ara
bic. Add a tablespoonful of this
to the hot starch. If cold starch
is required. dissolve a table
spoonful of gum in one pint Of
water and use 1t when cold for
mixing the starch.
Cut a piece off the ends of
potatoes. before they are roast
ed. This will let out any mois-
ture and make them mealy.
When preparing clothes for
ironing have them evenly damp
ened and smoothly and tightly
rolled.
Pastry will be lighter if mixed
with a broad knife instead Of
the hand. and rolled with a
glass bottle instead of a roll
ing pin. It is essential to keep
1t cool In the making.
Where economy has 10 be con-
sidered. il is advisable to buy
half-bleached linen. This is
much stronger than bleached
and very soon gets perfectly
white with washing.
Tar stains may be removed
from cotton fabrics by cover
ing the spots with butter and
allowing 1t to remain for few
hours before washing.

Scarf Paving Way for High Collars
BY ANNE RIT.TENHousE.

The scarf that we are now wrap
ping about. our necks is. spoken Of
as possible transition between a
coilafless era and an era of collars.
II Is getting us used again to the
hish neck lines leading us gently but
steadily to the point where the
notched collar of a tailored suit
Jacket looks decidedly unfinished
without some sort OF neck covering.
Now We are content with the high
~ drawn scarf-but who knows how
long before We may be wearing
muslin and linen stocks again?
No one really needs to be told
that the smart. way to wear the
scarf is high and tight at the front
in the way indicated In the sketch.
Yet there must be nothing studied
or precise about it---no devices or
contraption to keep it high and taut.
1t is on this trick of wearing the
scarf that it's smartness depends.
Scarfs. like many of the books you
wish to read. have a way of coming
in Sets. It really is annoying.
You can't get hold of Mol Fleming"
without buying firteen-volume set
OF De Foe. which you may, but prob
ably may not. want to read And
often You cannot get the scarf You
covet in the shop window without
buying the toQue or muff or what
not that goes with it,
OFTEN. however, the companions of
me scarfs are well worth having.
Not always, however. One young
woman sried just the scarf she had
heen looking for in shop that
rather specializes in sport clothes.
1t was part of a set. the saleswoman
told her. skiing set. And skiing
set the young woman discovered.
consists OF scarf cap. m'ttens and a
pair of woolly shoes OF the same ma
terial and ornamental ton that were
pcllt along the generous proportions
or the winter bed shoes that grand
mother used TO make. The young
woman had to have the scarf. so she
TOOK the set, and now she is hoping
that she will have an opportunity to
learn TO ski, so she can wear the
mittens and shoes before the scarf
and cap aye quite passe.
Usually, of course. the set consists
of scarf and hat. and even in mid
winter the material is not necessa-
rily wool or other heavy fabric.

This Is sufficiently exemplified in
the accompanying illustration. The
hardest are the present species and
another japanese Importation, Styrax
Obassia, which thrive north to Massa-
chusetts.
The Japanese storax, which is ma
tive to China as we'll as to Japan,
is capable of reaching a height of
thirty feet. The branches are slender
and spreading, when bare Fascinating
with their artistic tracery. The
leaves are short stalked. elliptic in
shape, pointed at both ends, one to
three inches long. In June or July
it delights us with its profusion of
bloom, little, gracefully pendulous
white flowers scattered along the
branches in clusters of three to six.
The corolla is about one-half inch
long. with slightly spreading petals.
1t is then an exceedingly handsome
shrub and one of the most salts
factory of the genus.
The specimen illustrated is on the
Mall at the edge OF one of the concrete
paths and about 200 yards northwest Of
the old Agricultural building. 1t is la

vital contact with an idea which
must transform 1t, and with an ex-
ample which must lift it up to q

The example Is the life of Jesus.
The idea is unselfsh interest In the
happiness Of others.
The great gift OF Jesus to the world
was Himself.
He lived with and for men.
He kept back nothing.
In every particular and personal
gift that He made to certain people
there was something of Himself that

Our Birds i'm Verse
BY Henry OIdys.
BARRED OWL.

Weird spirit of the dark, mysterious night,
That stealeth to my easement at the hour
When life is pulsing at its lowest pow'r
To bark, crow (Which s't?), thy ghostly plight
Pertentous sounds limiting of witehs rite
OF charne1 house, of palid -visaged Fate,
Of suicide in faint and flowing white
Tell me, thou creature of ALL Halow Fen.
Hast cast thy lonely lot with gibbering ghouls'
And art thou vending to the grewsome tryst?
Or have thy senses scattered on the mist?
And do those morbid lucubrations mean
That lunacy has marked some owls as fools?
