The WeU-Dressed Man
 By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of Every Occasion
Blue-And-Gray


 MAN is so shut up within the wall lH of habit, tipped with the spikes
 of convention, that, though be- wailing the lack of color and character in his clothes, he is almost afraid to grasp that which he covets. He is comically like the child who yearns for the opening of school, yet prays that it may be postponed. It is largely to the collegian that one must look for real innovations in dress. One of the recent ones is to wear a double-breasted dark blue coat together with gray flannel trousers, as pictured in the accompany ing sketch.
 The coat is the two-button model of flannel or worsted, having either regu- lar or patch pockets The thousers, cut in the English full-draped style, are plain silver gray, silver gray with stripes or light gray with contrasting stripes of brown. This effect of blue and-gray is smart if the clothes are not too extreme in cut and if the trousers are not too rolling and sailorly at the bottom, suggesting w. S. Gilbert's lines, Stick close to your desks and never go to sea, and you all may be Rulers of the Queens Navee"
 While this blue-and-gray mixture is really intend for country and knock about wear, it is also worn in town by young men who seek to convey just ran-up-from-the-country" air. The waistcoat is omitted.
 It is often asked whether silk suits are recommended for the hot months. The silk suit proved too soft and fine for the rough-and-tumble of daily use. If worn at all, it should only be put on for occasions of leisure as one of

The bearded iris is the name which is now given to the easily grown gar den plant which used to be known as the German iris. No perennial makes a better display in the spring and few will grow in poorer ground or hotter locations. The one point to remember is that this iris should be divided or planted at this season rather than in late fall, and that shallow planting is necessary. The bearded irises will grow freely even in shaded places, but will not bloom well unless they have q sunny exposure.

We Women
By BETTY BRAINERD
Picture Frames

A PICTURE frame, to my mind, "A is something more than a mere
 device. Into the tiny limits of frame we women may compress our entire lives and worlds. We frame a picture of some one dead or living near and dear to us, and the frame be. comes almost sacred, firm and yet beau tifully fragile, silent but wonderfully eloquent. The picture in it catches our eyes and stirs the imagination. But it is not of the pictures that would write. There are certain delicacies and charms and by-products of exist ence, almost insignificant in themselves which contribute to the joys and hap piness which we derive from life. Wherefore, sing this song of appre- citation to picture frames.
 We women, perhaps, make more use of picture frames than men. We are constituted that way. It is not a crime to be emotional or sentimental. It is a crime against truth to deny that we are.
 Poets write odes to stars and trees and birds and pipes and tobacco and their tribute. Fireplaces and the blaz- HE lulIlBucS OL log have been romanticized and praised.
 But never a word for the picture frame.
 It strikes me as being cruelty neg lectful and unappreciative of one of the fine instruments of contentment, and contentment is an art in itself, as much a part of it as a brush is to a painter, as a heart is to lover. And so l would sing loudly this prose ode to the picture frame.
 After all, a picture frame is just a picture frame-just a picture frame. It can neither dance, nor eat, nor talk. It hasn't even face or body. It is just frame until a picture comes into its life and then it becomes the vault of a treasure.
 1 don't know whether we should re- joice or lament the fact that picture frames cannot talk. Pictures may come and go into the life of a young woman and be put in and taken out of that frame and be replaced by others but the frame goes on foreVer-and true friend-says nothing.
 A picture frame can never write its autobiography. It is just a picture frame, a confidant that never violates confidence, friend that cheers in moments of sorrow, a friend that thrills in moments of happiness.

making me a low bow. How I envied her the wit and the tact she possessed. She was so clever at repartee, 50 bright and witty. No wonder men liked to be with her. At times I liked her in spite of myself. This was one of the times.
 On our way home after a late SUD- per, as I snuggled against Manville, he said:

Hearts of TVo
CHAPTER 1s2
TTHE sun was shining when Marian
 Horton awoke on the morning

THHE sun was shining when Marian Horton awoke on the morning
 after her arrival in New York. It was like good omen. The girl al- most forgot her recent misgivings.
 She had slept later than she had ex- pected to-worn out from her journey and the emotional strain of leaving home. When she had eaten breakfast in the cafeteria-with due regard to the shallowness of her purse--it was half past nine o'clock.
 Going to her room she wrote a brief note to Lois telling of her safe arrival and asking her to address mail to her in care of the Y. W. c. A. until further notice.
 T think I shall have a more perma- nent address soon," she added. T am looking forward to settling down to work without much delay"
 Optimism had supplanted timidity. A good nights sleep and an excellent cup of coffee brace the spirits quite as much as they refresh the body.
 So confident was she that it did not seem strange to her when she was sum moned to the telephone. Her job was on the way!
 She knew before answering the call that she would hear Frederic Parker's voice. When he spoke she had an un- expected thrill of pleasure. It was as if an old friend were greeting her.
 Yet what he had to say was only business-like suggestion that she lunch with him that noon and let him report to her the results of his investigations along the line of which she had written. His manner and speech were guarded, as a telephone. communication should be, Marian reflected.
 He named the restaurant at which they might meet. It was quiet, he add ed, not ultra fashionable, and they, could talk in peace.
 The hour he suggested was F 80. The girl wondered what she was to do until that time. She must not let her self sit still and become depressed as she was last night. She decided to take long walk. ~
 The air was cold but dry. She turned her steps eastward to Fifth avenue, then untoyn. 5slInV
 The avenue seemed more alluring than ever. Shoppers on foot and in au- tomobiles attracted her attention. They all looked so busy, so intent on the business of the moment, that she felt like a drone and an outsider. It would be wonderful to live here in New York, to have ones home here.

Some of the garden crops seem to need water more than others. Cauli- flowers, for example, will not head well unless they have an abundance of mois- ture. Celery, too, will have it's growth checked if water is withheld for more than few days at time, unless grown in particularly moist ground. Even mel ons. while they like hot weather, are fond of moisture as well. Corn can be brought to maturity several days earlier than would otherwise be the case if it can be watered freely. Tomatoes all ways suffer in drought unless arti- ficialIy watered. Not only is their growth checked but the fruit is likely to develop end rot. The necessity of watering lettuce need hardly be men, tioned. Even potatoes need moisture, although frequent cultivation alone will keep the ground in fairly good condi. tion.

As the Swiss chard gets older, the outside leaves produce large midribs. These make a very good substitute for asparagus, You can cut off the rest of the leaves and boil them like spinach at the same time. Never make the mistake of pulling up the whole plant, because new leaves will come out as soon as the old ones are removed. Most gardeners have Swiss chard big enough to eat now. You can begin to eat it when the leaves are a foot long, although it is best to let the plants get little larger. Halfgrown Swiss chard is just right for canning. It makes midwinter greens of first quality.

 Several years ago started neigh borhood circus, and it was such suc- cess that it is now held in our yard every summer, the children preparing for it for days in advance. Acrobatic stunts, clown and animal tricks are planned and rehearsed, and something in the way of pageant is put on, the girls making the costumes. The circus is held in the evening, and pink lemo- made, pop corn and peanuts are always big feature. I can guarantee that this amusement will absorb at least two or three weeks of the long vacation.

 To return to the blue-and-gray com. bination, gray flannel trousers are fire. quently substituted this season for white flannels. Many tennis players prefer them, as they are just as cool and more cleanly. Best of all for tennis, however, are white ducks. Blue coats together with white flannel trou- sers are not proper at summer eve ming dance, though they are often so worn. A dance is a formal function which prescribes formal dress.

Are your evergreen trees and shrubs turning brown? If so, you may be pretty certain that they have been at tucked with red spider, which is a very common pest at this season. Do not imagine, however, that the red spider is a large insect, like most members of the spider family. The fact is that it is exceedingly small and readily es- capes notice. The way to banish it from the garden is to dust your ever greens with powdered sulphur and to- bacco dust in equal parts. You can use bellows or a dusting gun for the purpose. The dust will adhere readily if the work is done in the morning while the plants are covered with dew.

 Please explain that again." exclaim- ed Judge Keidan weakly while his clerk dented the desk nfront of him with the gavel as he tried to restore order.
 II broke the speed laws to get to q gasoline station before I used up all my gas," explained Derey again, se- riously enough.
