A Garden Kneeling Mat.

While early spring is the time when
the amateur gardener spends most
at her time on her knees sowing seeds,
transplanting seedlings, and moving
young plants to better positions, yet
.aere is one garden task that must
ne attended to the summer through
and that is wedding. BY this time
of year the hardy plants and tall an
nuals have attained such strength that
the weeds. cannot choke them out.
but the weeds have grown tall and
lusty as well, and they must be re-
neat and well cared for
Moreover, by next month the gar
den lover must begin to plan her
next years garden. She will want
to move plants that have finished
blooming and put them in their new
homes. so that they will establish
root adjustment before winter comes.
All this means that there must be
much bending and kneeling, and we
all know what this does to faithful
backs and knees. The thoughtful de-
sgners and manufacturers, therefore,
have produced for our comfort a gar
den kneeling mat of soft, pliable
Chinese rush, padded so deeply that
the knees sink into 1t as into a pill

New Wraps for Evening Wear
ny ANNE RITTENHGusE.

If you have ever played hostess to
know with what concern they regard
draft-a current of air, as we would
literally translate their way of say
ing 1t.
Your true French woman can wear
with apparent comfort thinner clothes
on a damp, cool day. and warmer
clothes on warm day than an
American. She is more of a stole in
the matter of clothes. II she is
dressed to suit the occasion she can
stand a little less or more clothes
without a murmur. Only she does
hate draft.
She hates them but she finds them
indispensable.
American hostesses kindly take
notice-for American women are
finding drafts as necessary.
1T was a fairly warm evening
when the Bob Joneses gave their dinner
and dance, but the guests were seated
at small tables placed in the dining
room and two drawing rooms. With
doors and windows left open, quite
draft was created. so that many of
the women wore their light evening
raps over their shoulders"
"At the reception to meet Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson, given at the country
club the receiving line stood in the
spacious hall, where the draft made
1t necessary for many of the ladies
to keep their wraps"
You may have read such comment
many times this summer. And you
may have dined at some restaurant
where folk foregather on warm sum-
mer evenings and you may have been
surprised to see some woman on en-
tering signify to her escort a table
placed directly in a draft. possibly
brushed by the breeZes of an enor-
nous electric fan. OF course the
woman was wearing charming
evening wrap, or an evening wrap
which she thought charming. 1t is
charming evening wraps that are re-
sponsible for all this new enthusiasm
for drafts. So if you are wise and
tactful hostess you'll manage to pro-
vide a draft at your next party for
the benefit of the women invited who
possess wraps they wish to display
1t must be a gentle draft remem-
Der, because these charming wraps
are not proof against real wind
Were they more substantial they
would not be so becoming 1t is
their lightnesS and effervescence that
make them SO attractive Even when
fur trimmed they are in part trans
parent 50 as not to mask too closely
the shoulders over which they are
thrown
Sometimes il is Spanish shawl
that makes the draft so popular for
they are among the seasons best
liked evening wraps. Some of these
are saturated with embroidery. but
the choice seems to be swinging to
shawls of perfectly plain crepe

came to me and I quit my job and
went to Los Angeles.

with stars.
Her typewriter has made place
for her on the screen.
1t would seem to me that her ex-

there would be fewer tragedies. fewer

Bacon Wisdom.

Bacon should always be kept in the
refrigerator and should not become
moist. For this reason the package
containing bacon should never be
placed next to the ice.
Usually a pound Of choice package
bacon, ready sliced. goes further than
a pound of uncut bacon. because it
is difficult to cut it at home as thin
as 1t can be cut by machinery at the
packing houses
If you must cut your own bacon he
sure that your knife is very sharp.
The bacon should be taken from the
refrigerator very cold and cut at
once. IL you try to cut il when il is
not chilled you will find it much more
difficult.
Do not start frying bacon until
you can give it your undivided atten-
ton. Bacon will not fry itself, but
must be watched constantly to see
that each piece is done evenly. AS
the pieces are done to a turn thew
should be lifted from the frying pan
and placed on platter or serving
dish in warm place. They should
not be left to soak in the grease in
the frying pan.
If you cannot give the bacon your
; undivided attention, cook 1t in the
oven.

Danny lodged back into his private

He was out OF sight before Peter

after him. but Danny had disappeared
1t was just az II that grass had swal-

Peter couldn't follow Danny's private

two Potter had no idea at all where
those paths were. He knew there
must be more than one. Danny
Meadow Mouse always has a lot Of
little paths leading In all directions.
But he couldn't find them because the
grass was SO tall that it wholly
covered them.
Peter sat still and listened. hoping
that he might hear Danny running
along one of them. But he didn't.
He sat up and watched sharply, hop

Danny was running. But he didn't

ESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Sticks Like Tar,


On our vacation last summer we
drove from Buffalo to Canton. Ohio,
in one day, and when we got there
we were sick in bed with tonsilitis
and sick stomaChs. Now this year
should We bundle up our necks if we
make that trip again?-Mrs. F. w.
Answer-Surely tonsilitis can't be
caused by automobile riding. The
family's illness was probably some
cofncident infection. l should not ad-
wise bundling up any more than in
dividual comfort requires. The catch
|, ing cold delusion is almost as hard to
remove as tar.
Cough from Heart Trouble.
Kindly explain how cough can be
due to heart trouble.-B. P. p.
Answer-In case of a valvular le-
sion the backward leakage of blood
or back pressure often causes conges-
ton in the region of bronchial tubes
or lungs. Then. too. the tenth cranial
nerve (vague or pneumogastric
nerve) supplies the heart and the
lungs, SO that reflex irritation through
branches of this nerve may cause
cough. A branch of this nerve goes
to the external ear canal; sometimes
persons with a plug of hardened
cerumen in the ear canal have a most
persistent. harassing cough from re-
H6A ITTlIdtlOH. very deceptive ana
misleading is cough. Probably no
other common symptom so frequently
misleads the layman who tries to
doctor himself For instance. a
most impressive cough which the
victim feels certain comes from deep
within the chest is likely to arise
from lesion of the back of the nasal
passages or the upper part of the
throat; on the other hand, a slight
almost unnoticeable cought which the
patient assumes Is a mere clearing of
the throat sometimes depends on
early tuberculosis of the lung.
Onf for the West.
Being eighty years old but still in
good health, and intending to make a
journey from st. Louis to Seattle, I
should be pleased to learn whether
the change of climate and altitude in
crossing the mountains are likely to
have any bad results.-F. G. A.. =
Answer-Not If you take care to
avoid the exertion which the stfmu-
lating effect of the air at higher alti-
tude may tempt you to make.
