THRIFT AND BEAUTY
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

ITO BE thrifty during the late war
l. was popular. In fact, it was
rather disgraceful than otherwise not
to be. We saved the nickels and
bought thrift stamps, and we devised
all sorts Of economies to reduce ex-
penses until we were in danger Of be-
coming tight, and it is almost as bad
to be tight as to be thriftless.
One of the pet schemes for promot-
ing thrift and adding to the food sup
oily was the home garden. The news
papers were full OF the proper cloth
ing to wear while engaged in this
alluring sport of gardening, and one
saw published daily list of the proper
seeds to plant and where to buy them.
am not inexperienced in garden
ing; know full well that the home
garden is often a better physical than
economic investment. 1t only occa-
Sionally helps out the bank account,
but is more likely to increase ones
muscle than his money, especially if
one does not do his gardening by
proxy. In that case it is sure to be a
poor financial investment.
But l have fallen again for the home
garden scheme. | am sure that this
time, though l have never done so
before / can make it pay. My mouth
waters at the thought of the tender
head lettuce that l shall grow, of the
melting green peas which shall Gull
tivate, and the toothsome, juicy sweet
corn. My table is covered with highly
illustrated seed catalogues, which 1
pore over for hours at time trying
to determine which of two varieties
of certain vegetable is best suited to
my needs, deciding finally, usually,
that in order to be absolutely safe /
might better order both.
The fly in the ointment-or 1 should
| say flies-is the rather appalling cost
Of seeds and of the few necessary
tools that one must have for even the
simple little garden that / have been
planning, for one cannot start gar
den without seeds nor cultivate it with
out tools, and seed peas cost 40 cents
a pound and a simple wheel hoe-and
one cannot manage a real garden with
out a wheel hoe-sets one back sew

does not prove to be an Illustration of
the proverb, "It isn't the original cost
but the upkeep," etc.

thusiastic even than l am, perhaps be
