Fur on Hem Rather Than on Collar
BY MARY MARSHALL.

of fur We're discovered some time very
early in human evolution. So, al
though the fashion of the moment calls
for the weight OF the fur to be around
the ankles. we know in our hearts that
these coats would be more becoming
If there were fur around the neck as
well. Some women have bought fur
scarfs to match the fur on the hem of
the coat, but the difficulty in getting
an exact match has prevented others
from doing this. So they solve their
difficulty with the aid of a silk scarf
or a pearl choker.
While the fashion for the coat with
fur hem has called for quantities of
peltry, it is not a fashion that has been
popular with the furriers. Often the
wide band is of rather cheap or mex
pensive fur. Women will content
themselves with far cheaper fur when
they wear it around their ankles than
when they wear it around the neck.
Only among the very highest class
trade has there been any demand for
the separate fur neckpiece.
Some of the stores-moSt, in fact
have sold literally miles of fur ba nd.
ing this Spring. A surprisingly large
number of women sought to make last
Springs coat up-to-date by adding a
band of fur about the hem.

Col. Sam Hill (for that is what
he was) was born in Guilford, Conn.
February 81, 1878, and died in May,
1852. He w1s elected to the General
Assembly and reelected term after
term. He was for a time justice of
New Haven County Court. In t717
he was town clerk and clerk of the
proprietors Of the common and undi-

Once as he swung in circles high

King Eagle had missed a breakfast
for those hungry eaglets, and he knew
that it was his own fault. Twice he
had swung around above that fish
without seeing it because he had been
so much occupied with his angry

would have reached it before Reddy

So King Eagle kept on his way

he was so angry he wanted to make

that anger SO often works that way?

and turned our clothes lines into OBJ
jects of beauty, what about planting
our little garden?"
Mr.. Burbank answered.:
'Sfze again must decide this to a

made between using all the space for
flowers or putting most of it into
lawn. with only a few flowers or a
shrub or two. Either plan makes a

I said, land please suggest what would
be best

the back garden, and while everyone
wants quick results like Jacks beam

places another year"
1--WE might begin with the annual
vines for those who cannot wait for

flowers and gourds. And when i saw
the last it reminded me of Mr.. Bur
banks hybrid gourds, and I stopped
long enough to ask him about them.
''Gourds.'' said Burbank, "are first
cousins of melons, squashes and GU
cumbers and are really tropical plants
and therefore have readily adapted
themselves to the long, hot Summers
in temperate regions.
MY work has been largely with the
curious, brightly colored Australian
gourds, and has been interesting from
the variety and unexpected results OBJ

gourds from other places"

many OF the ancients that the root

in moderation if the roots are not dis

left to go to seed. The roots are ex-
tensively collected by root and herb
collectors and sold by wholesalers, but
have little or no medicinal value.
The redbud or Judas tree, next to
the dogwood, is the most in need of
protection of any of our small attraC-

In THE GARDEN WITH BURBANK

our back yard fences
Gould we not have a vegetable
patch in our back yard?'
Surely" said Mr.. Burbank, 'it will
take only a little ingenuity and plan
ming, and a three-foot bed will hold
a great deal" ..e
"Such a bed running along the
fence the full length of one side of
the garden, could be planted with
, corn at the back, and in front, bor-
dering the walk, waXb beans could be
planted
"At the back Of the lot two vege.
table beds could be made. planted with
carrots, lettuce, radishes. spinach,
Swiss chard, cucumbers and even a
few potatoes.
Peas and .berries could be trained
against one side and there would yet
be room enough for narrow border
of pansies, stocks and other Summer
blooming ANIMALS. The flowers and
vegetables would soon be on friendly
terms and both would be acceptable -
I'VE must not forget the little
front yard, while planning the back
yard, Mr.. Burbank"
NO" he said, land every garden
however small, ought to make little
picture of itself from outdoors and

Some of the old favorites may have
