Hollyhocks are among the few occu- pants of the perennial garden that are best for being planted late in the sea son. You can get better plants from seeds sown now than frem seeds put into the ground last month. The seed ings may be started in a specially pre- pared bed in a corner of the garden, or better still, in cold frame. When they are large enough to be moved, they should be planted in another bed, in rows, with six inches between them, going into their permaner- locations in the spring. HollyhOcks are really bien- nials but can be made practically per ennials by cutting the stalks to the ground when only three or four flowers remain at the top. It is well to cut off all the foliage at the same time so that a good crop of offsets will be pro- dticed,

Desperate Work


 T1HE pretty girl had got her elusive
 beauty nicely arranged in the Ye-

 "Where are you headed for tonight, Jimmy" she asked with sweet in terest. "I think it is so nice after Jim. my has been working hard in the hot office all day. that he is able to get the fresh air and go anywhere he wants to now he has his new car," she said ih sisterly tones to the yOung-man caller

We Womenl l
Books And .SernOns

Books And SermOna = DIT WAS a wise man who said there D are sermons in NtOnes and books in D running brooks and now another man-perhaps less wise-says that we women too are like books, intriguing in our charm and all that sort of thing. He says there are sermons in us and that like some books we produce happy endings for the men who turn our pages, reading as they keep step with the march of mutual events, and sigh ing and wondering and thrilling to the joint adventure of our relations.
 
 My correspondent writes as follows !: Meeting a young woman for the first time is like picking up. new book. If we men read far enough in any book the chances are we will find something, however little, that is good and interesting. But not all of us are capable of covering the full barren stretches betwN 1n cover. and cover. It is the same way with you women. You should be more interesting than any boOk-even a classic. You are real living things, but that is your chief fault. Absolute perfection cannot be attained in human beings, on the other hand, it can at least be approximated in books. And yet some of these great books, the greatest of all books, have unhappy endings. Still they stimulate emotion, excite the mind in a storm of thought memories something akin to a sermon" .~,
 There is, of course, a great market for good books. From what I gather from men I suspect there is a curious demand not so much for great women, but for good and attractive women. In literature and life there are also dime novels, and the fact of the matter is that men incline more strongly toward dime novels either in youth or in ma. turity. Apparently they insist on blood and thunder and hectic adven- ture Because we do not provide it they go off on literary excursions to a world of unrealities.
 I do not believe a comparison of women and dime novels is by any means Odious. Men like herOines in life as well as in books, Perhaps that is why they patronize us so consistently in both fields. Our earthly selves throw off definite images and in dime novels these images are illuminated by brilliant lights which bring us out into clearer relief against. the imaginatiOns of men

It is natural that you should wish to have your husband beau you around as he did in your courting days. Every married woman likes to Haunt her husband around in her friends faces, and it is not strange that you are a bit chagrineds that he doesn't want to go out with you. But as the years pass on you will find out that all life is a series of compromises, and that the secret of being happy though married is to learn to make the best of every sit uation, to enjoy tos the utmost every good thing that comes your way and to accept the bad things philosophical ly, as just part of the days work and dwell on them as little as you can.

There are few kinds of insect pesA which multiply with greater rapidity than plant lice. A single pair will soon produce thousands. And piantl lice are very destructive. They ofteiI escape detection at first because the.z leaves. The only way to deal satisfac7 congregate on the under sides of ths3 torily with these pests is to spray th9n with a nicotine solution such ss cai be purchased at any seed store for few cents. There is one point, how ever, which must not be overlooked The spray must hit the lice in order ttl do its work, for its purpose is ttG smother the pests to death. All tosA often amateurs try to kill lice with a poison, like arsenate of lead, but nothing can be accomplished with such remedy, for the lice do not eat the leaves but such out the juices.

But the elderly wife is nearly always a grinding tyrant, who bosses her young husband out of his life. And she, is invariably insanely jealous of him and ready to tear his eyes out if he so much as looks at a young and pretty girl.
 But age cannot be always counted in terms of birthdays. There are men who are old in the cradle, and others who are Peter Pans at seventy. It is a matter of temperament, and the man of forty-three who is thinking of mar rying a girl of twenty-three should look more closely at his habits and tastes than he does at the record in the family Bible.

Dear Dorothy Dix: We have been married three years and have two love ly little girls. My husband is a good provider and loves his children dearly, and helps me with my work when I have more than I can do. Now, the question is this: When he asks me if he can ,go anywhere I never refuse him, but when I ask him to take me some where he refuses, although he says I can go alone if want to, and he will stay at home and care for the babies. But I don't want to go unaccompanied by him. Please tell me what should do.

And really, my dear, there is a great deal to be said in favor of. husbands and wives each taking a night off separately each week. : The trouble with most married couples is that they see too much of each other and get fed up on each others society. That's why the family circle is generally as silent as a Quaker meeting, unless there is a quarrel going on. They have talked out because they have done the same things and have seen the same things, and they have nothing new to tell each other. But let either one of them
 go away for a week or so and when he or she comes back they chatter

Marriages in which the husband is considerably older than the wife are very apt to be happy because the husband, has had enough ex- perience of life and acquired enough skill in handling people to know how to deal tactfully with his wife and so avoid many of the pitfalls into which the young and ignorant fall. Also the husband who is a good deal older than his wife is nearly always a generous and in- dulgent husband, who treats his wife very much as he would a pampered child.

safe for him to marry a girl twenty years his junior. But if he is a stick-in-the-mud, who never wants to go anywhere and who is always bored, then he is too old to marry any woman under forty. For girl at twenty-three is still in the playtime of her life and has right to expect her husband to be her playfellow.

 It depends on how the man has spent his money. If he has spent it on dissi- patton, or if he is addicted to gambling. either poker or stocks; if he is one of the Colonel Sellers sort, who is always backing some wild scheme by which he expects to make millions, I would say that he is bad risk, and that he would drag his wife down to poverty in the end.

Twenty years is not prolfibitive difference in age between a man and a woman, when the years are on the mans side; but ten years should be when the woman is the older. Women are so much faster than men they lose their good looks so much earlier, that it is well for the man always to be older than the woman he marries.
