BY RICHARD HATTON

An encouraging feature or pres

and business men, is seen in the
fact that, while every preparation
has been made to meet the UNI
doubted present brisk demand and
the expected large holiday buying,

There has been a distinct lack of
excessive overlooking on the part
Of merchants and It is evident that
goods Of practically every descrip-
ton are passing directly into CON
sumption.
Some time ago there was fear
that manufacturers in this country
were overproducing.
This fear seems to have passed
with the present fall activity, and,
In Washington as well as in other
centers, there seems to be at the
present moment a fairly normal
education between supply and de-
mand.

The Herbaceous Border.

Before we go on to other flowers
Mr.. Burbank, please finish telling me
of the fragrant verbena we were talk
ing about recently. How. was II de
veloped?"
I'm the course of 80 years expert
ments," said Mr.. Burbank, II noticed
that some of the plants had faint
fragrance, and finally found among
several thousand one with distinct
fragrance.
"This was kept apart from the
others and the seed was planted and
among the seedlings, selection was
carried on for number of genera
tions until the right fragrance was
developed, which was that of the
trailing arbutus or Mayflower of New
England, and strange to say the
newly developed blossoms were very
large and just the color of the rosy
pink of the arbutuS.
$50 for these reasons the new Yer
bena was called the Mayflower. I'm
fortunately, as I said before, the per
fected original was lost by the East
ern scotsman who purchased 1t. and
the fragrance of the seedlings has de
Perforated because of having beer
propagated by seed and not by cut
tinCs."
How do you account for this fra
GRANGE in the verbena?" l asked.
THE ancestors of the verbena were
mostly subtropical American plants
and among them was one that was
pure white and with a faint fragrance
of jessamine, and as verbenas have
been greatly crossed for size and
color alone, this ancestral trait o1
perfume became hidden and covered
up, coming only seldom TO the sur
face.
Fortunately it was discovered by
accident and developed by selection
Does the rverbena go in the list OF
plants with which the amateur may
work, Mr.. Burbank
BY selection. yes; but it is an ex
ceedingly difficult plant to cross, ow
ing to the structure of the flowers
but has most interesting possibilities
as new varieties develop in a wonder
full range of colors."

planting in beds, along walks or
drives, along the boundaries of a
garden or against any building.
THE bedS may vary in width from
few feet to or 10 feet, according
to the size of the garden, and they
are most satisfactory for massine
plants, for they are easily cultivated,
and any gaps are quickly filled up,
besides making d good color effect in
the garden"
May both perennial plants and
annuals go in the border?"
Yes" said Mr.. Burbank, 'the bor-
der may be entirely Of perennials. or
there may be ANIMALS planted at in

Something like a coast line. with

Personal Daintiness.

cool and fresh as though she had just

look fresh and dainty when the

done. and is worth trying.
Dress properly. Few people know
how. Do not wear woven underwear
of any material: it clings and retains
the heat. Wear loose muslin or silk

matter and able to work. Plenty of
talcum powder keeps the skin cool
and does not clog the pores and IL
mixed with q liberal amount of bo-

will keep it free of perSpiration odor.
Anything dirty is heating. Even
the finsiest underSarment seems hot
if it is soiled. Everything you touch
should be perfectly fresh, even the

hair gets oily and dusty in hot
weather: a clean brush viii keep it
clean and fluffy, an oily one will
simply rub back yesterdays soil and

The comb should always be washed

them clean is to rub them together
