Planning the Iris Beds.

Now that the iris are finishing
their season of bloom.'' said Mr.. Bur
bank, ''it is a suitable time to make
selections, to set out new plants or
to transplant those that are becoming
crowded"
Il have been studing the iris gar
dens as you advised some time ago
and have been making list of good
varieties" l replied.
Iris" said Mr.. Burbank, Should
be transplanted just after blooming
as they begin then to make new roots.

THE spent stems must be removed.
the foliage cut back, the old dead
roots trimmed off and the rhizomes
planted near the surface of the
ground, that they may get the full
benefit of the sun. The soil must be
good, fertilized with old manure, but
none must come in contact with the
rhizomes. Bone meal is always safe
II not used too lavishly."
I'VE are talking now, are we not,
of the European iris and not of the
Spanish or the Japanese?' l asked
Yes, the European iris might in
clude the iris germanica and also the
Spanish iris, with its English and
Dutch cousins, although they are not
Sermanicas and have bulbs instead of
rhzomes"
How are they connected?'
The English and Dutch iris are
supposed to have been originally Span
ish iris transplanted to Holland and
to England and thus producing varia-
tions. They have learned to like cool,
damp locations, while the Spanish iris
is true to its native habitat high up
in the Cordilleras. IT loves the sun
and thrives without water after bloom
ing, and for this reason it is better
to give these mountaineers a place to
themselves in the garden.
"It is desirable to grow all three
| of these iris because the Dutch bloom
first and are followed by the Spanish
the English coming last. This makes
for succession of bloom. The three
varieties vary slightly, and are
smaller than the germanicas, but are
very dainty and delicate. All are of
beautiful cOlorS.'
almost every country seems TO
have given its name TO the iris fam

MODE MINIATURES

Very well liked is the vogue for
knotting a man size silk handkerchief
about the neck as illustrated. 1t lends
dash to a costume otherwise plain or
one tone. On the golf course some
women find it serves practical duty by
being an aid to coolnesS-based upon
the same principle that a man ties a
handkerchief around his throat during
strenuous sports.
The best looking kerchefs hail from
Paris as you might quickly surmise
by their daring design and clever
color combine. And if you do not find
a satisfactorily smart one in the wom-
ems neckwear shops a visit to an eX-
elusive mems haberdashery will re-
ward your search NARCOTIC.

DILL lIVlE - Il Ol(lLO ". BURGESS

When he found something to eat he
would take a bite and then look up.
The first time his mother Signaled
danger he led all the others in scam
pering for home.
His brothers and sisters began to
make fun of him, to call him "a
''fraidy." He didn't mind. He didn' t
once get cross. He was too humble.
He had learned his lesson. He had
learned one of the greatest truths that
any small person in feathers or fur
can learn. 1t was that it is the fearful
and not the fearless among the little
people who are likely to live longest.
So Smarty Chipmunk wasn't ashamed
of being afraid. He wasn't afraid of
being timid.
1T is better said he ito run from
nothing many times than to fail to
run once when danger is near
1t wasn't long before Smarty Chip
munk was the best watchman in the
whole family. Always his bright eyes
were the first to see an enemy. AL
ways his little ears were the first to
hear a suspicious sound. His broth
ers and sisters began to depend on
him TO give them warning. Even his
mother depended on him somewhat.
And Smarty wasn't at all proud. He
didn't consider himself smart. He was
still humble.
Each day Mrs. Chipmunk led the
little Chipmunks a bit farther from
home. 1t was very exciting. They
felt that they were getting on in the
Great World. They We're even begin
ming to dream of going out in the
Great World by themselves. But if
you had watched them you would have
found that Smarty was always the one
nearest his mother. He was the one
who always did just as she did. He
meant to learn all that she knew be-
fore the time should come for him to
leave home and go out into the Great
World by himself.
