Fruit Combination.

Before we take up the plumcot, Mr..
Burbank, may | ask little more
about the wild plum
LAS l said. the wild plum trees grew
in regions where it's fruit was exposed
to animals and men, and it was obliged
to produce at great expense hard
shell to protect its precious seed from
destruction. The dangers to which the
fruit was exposed were not only ami
mails. but probably adverse climatic
conditions such as drought and ex-
treme cold.
MY next question is, how do you
account for a single wild species of
plum having only a partial protective
seed covering when all the rest of the
family have a hard stone covering?"
1T is without doubt due" said Mr..
Burbank, ito a lack of proper food
substances in the soil of some particu-
lar locality where this dwarfed variety
grew. and the stone which made such
a heavy draft on building material
could not be produced.
This is just as eggshells are thin
when lime is lacking in the food of
the hen or as the bones of a human
child do not develop normally when
the child is not properly nourished.'
Thank you. Now we can go on to
plumcots. that wonder of the fruit
world" l proposed.
THE plumcot is in every sense a
new fruit, for it was the result of
crossing the plum with the apricot.
two somewhat widely separated
species, and a new plant was produced
wholly different from either of the
parent forms.
"The experiment was at first not
successful, but finally from some cross
bred seedlings of a Japanese plum
and the common apricot a hybrid was
produced with the required combina-
ton. From this by selection, from its
seedlings, fine new fruits were pro-
duced which were neither plum nor
apricot, but which were found to be
a fruit of brand-new species. 1t
was therefore named the plumcot.
There was great variation in the
root and foliage, the stones. the ap-
pearance and flavor of the fruit. but

got used to the idea of wearing them
at all, they found it too easy to
wear them for general aIl-day attire
when off on an informal holiday.
For sports wear, however. they
have retained prestige only for GER
tain definite purposes. At most Of
the country clubs women would not
think of wearing them for golf. and
1t is amusing to think that any woman
ever did appear on the tennis court
In them. But for mountain climbing
and hiking they still retain their
correctness. And as part of a well
considered mountain costume knickers
carry with them much smartness
Never. never should they be worn
with silk stockings or thin stockings
of any sort If your legs are quite
slender you may wear ribbed wooden
stockings or heavy ribbed Isle stock
ings if you prefer them. Otherwise
you are wise to wear some sort of
puttee or high boots.
The mountain climber shown in the
sketch wears knickers with buttoned
cuffs, golf stockings and leather boots
that lace at the front. With these
knickers, which may be had in gabar-
dine or covert, goes a straight norfolk
jacket of the same material and a

The planetary aspects of tomor-

The desire that seizes people to live
out-of-doorS as much as possible in
the Summertime is responsible for
many conveniences and contrivanceS
to further this end. Some of them
are distinctly for lawns, while others
are for the beach, yet their uses need
not be confined to their original pur-
poses. 1t is the adapting of articles
to particular necessities. and making
them appear as if so intended, that
continually seems to be the part Of a
home-maker. 1t exercises her in
genuity often, and is by no means a
disagreeable task. We find some
adapting important when we come to
providing comfortable seats and hooks
for enjoying lawns. especially those
that have little shade.
For children there is nothing much
better than a small tent which can be
set up directly over the grass or over
a platform constructed of pine boards
well planed to insure against splinters.
While matched boards are incest, they
are not actually needed, by any means.
Even the top Of a large packing box
may be used.
Tents for Children.
Whatever the flooring, il should be
raised somewhat from the ground. All
that Is necessary is to nail couple Of
strips of boards, AKA or Axe inches in
depth and thickness, and the length of
the platform, to the under side. These
should. of course, be nailed across the
boards forming the platform, SO that
each board is secured to these posts.
Rest the platform when made on the
ground, bracing it with wedges or
stones 10 make the floor plumb and
steady. With such a platform founda-
ton the little folk can use the tent
more than when 1t is erected directly
over the grass. The floor will be dry

SUMMERTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.
PokeWeed.

There is no sharp dividing line be
tween Spring and Summer, but one
of the infallible signs of the coming
of the opulent season is the blooming
of the pokeweed. For the pokeweed
comes of Il family chiefly tropical
and looks it, with it's curious big
leaves. it's white flowers in a long
spike and the purplish color that suf-
fuses stem, leaves and fruit.
If ever you wish to vary your diet
with something new, try eating poke
weed at the proper season. 1t makes
excellent greens, more delicate far
than spinach. and certainly tickling to
any palate jaded BY the familiar 1t
should be eaten while it is very Young
both. because it is then most tender
and because later on it is poisonous.
Rather severe cases of poisoning are
on record due to eating pokeweed too
late in the season.
One does not eat oysters in month
with no r, and similarly there is a
way to tell when pokeweed is past it's
price. When the first signs of a pur-
plish hue begin to flush the early
green of the stem, the plant is turn
ing inedible. Presently this dark
poison will rise like a tide - suf-
fuse the entire plant.
Pokeweed berries, which are a beau
tiful dark, purple black, are specially
ornamental toward the Fall of the
year. and many Il commonplace Mary
land and Virginia roadside or COW
pasture do they make beautiful It
is well, however. to point them out
10 children, if you have any: and
tell them they are poisonous. because
the berries so closely resemble some
edible kinds and look so prettily tempt
ing that any unwarned child might
easily eat them. The root of the
pokeweed is poisonous at all times of
year.

HOW TT STARTED
Our Right-Handedness
BY JEAN NEWTON.

This may sound like another of
those perpleXing posers propounded
by l'enfant terrible. But does not
everything in nature point to right
handedness as an artificially acquired
habit rather than a congenital physi
cal popularity?
There is nothing in animal life to
limbs, we should choose to use one
almost to the exclusion of the other.
or why the right should be uncon-
sciously trained to have more strength
and practically all the dexterity
So long has man been right -ha nded
that he has become almost right sided.
If you take the trouble to observe you
will see that involuntarily he puts for
ward his right foot in starting to run;
and you can always hop more easily
and longer on the right than on the
left.
If the non-com's "left-right" does
not resound to the end of the line he
will probably have half of his march
ers out of step. because those who do
not hear will start right.
We are hight handed because early
in mans fighting career, which goes
back as far as Adam and Eve, it was
discovered that the heart is the most
vulnerable part of the body and that
injury to it, of all organs, is fatal.
Therefore every warrior aiming at his
adversarys left breast, which, of
course, was directly opposite his right
hand, held his bow and arrow to his
right shoulder, hurled javelins with
ak or sword fenced against the
shields held over the region of his
adversary's heart.

of lukewarm water to which a
little kerosene has been added,
turning the cloth as it gets
soiled. Then let dry and after
ward polish with beeswaX and
turpentine mixed so thin that it
can be shaken up in a bottle.
If you do not possess mine
ing machine. cut the suet or
meat into small pieces, then
sprinkle with flour. Take roll
ing pin and roll firmly, then
chop, roll and chop again. Man
aged in this way, either meat or
suet will chop quite easily.
Always save twine and brown
paper. They will be at hand
when required. In a we'll regu-
lated house there should always
be a drawer where brown and
other thick paper are to be
found. Roll up pieces of string
separately so that the necessary
thicknesses can be picked out at

Hints and Tricks.

We have covered all the main points
of beauty culture. You know now
what a beauty shop would do for your
skin, hair, nails, etc, and a little of
what doctor would tell you if You
asked him for beauty advice-as many
women do nowadays, beauty and
health being at least first cousins.
In addition, there are some legiti-
mate tricks which every woman
should know. Makeup is perhaps the
most important.
If you don't approve of rouge or
such things, don't read this para
graph If you do, buy yourself blonde
or brunette rouge, whichever suits
your type best and practice putting ii
on If the face is thin, rouge toward
the ears, and never rouge heavily over
the hollow part of the cheeks. If you
are chubby, and need rouge. spread it
on evenly over the cheeks. That il is
becoming is undeniabie unless it is
badly put on.
The same holds true of d lipstick.
Personally. | feel we live in such an
artificial age and dress in such an ar
tificial manner that little artificial
complexion is quite all right. Only
don't oVerdo nature. and don't make
your lips too red; touch them lightly
