Importance of each item. More than
5000 families We're interviewed to
get this information.
Thus we learn that the money
spent for blankets leads all the other
housefurnishings made of cloth, but
with curtains and sheets following
these very closely. We also find that
three out of every five of these
blankets are made entirely of cot
ton; one in five is all-wooI. and
about one in five, mixed
There are 27 times as many cotton
towels used by these families as those
of linen. while even cotton napkins
are three times as common as the
linen ones.
Towels, quilts and pillowcases take
about the same amount of money
from the family till, each year, with
tablecloths, window shades and bed
spreads making another trio just be-
low the others in Importance.
In spite of all that we hear about
table linen" these 5000 representa- =
tive families bought nine times as
much cotton material for this pur-
pose as linen, spending for it three
times as much money.

Household Textiles.

1t is interesting and very profitable,
once in a while, TO check up on our
buying habits. 1t is very easy TO
get "out of balance" in household
purchasing, and thus really to lower
the standard of living in our fam
lilies by indulgence in some things
and a corresponding sacrifice of
others.
Sometimes a woman has a passion
for fine linens and she spends great
deal more than she can really afford
for these things, while bedding. drap :
ery. etc, may be neglected. We all
get into these habits in one way or
another, but the change usually
comes so slowly that we don't realize
how far it has gone.
There are too many petty neigh
borhood jealousies for housewives
to get very much benefit of eX-
change of experiences on the rela-
tive costs of home supplies, so we
have to look to outside information
for anything scientifically helpful.
Uncle Sam has come to the rescue
in recent years by publishing de-
tailed Investigations into the cost of
living Most of this work is done
through the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics of the Department of Labor at
Washington. and every woman who
makes a science of her housekeeping
ought to get on the mailing list to
receive announcements of all these
publications.

Hydrangeas.

This is hydrangea week in the Dis
trict of Columbia, if one may judge by
the unusually splendid display of
white, pink and blue hydrangeas that
one may see in every suburb of Wash
ington now.
Time was, not so long ago, in our
grandmother's days, when there were
only white hydrangeas. Now that
there are pink and blue ones on the
market 1t is often thought that some
plant wizard has created" the snowy
colored varieties. AS a matter of fact,
pink and blue hydrangeas are nothing
but a piece of-legitimate legerdemain.
They are the same old plants that our
grandmothers knew, artifcially col
ored
Have you ever seen a farmer test
his soil with litrnus paper? Litmus is
chemical derived from a lichen,
which when it comes in contact with
acid turns pink, and in contact with
akali turns blue. The rea ction of the
hydrangea to acids and alkalies is SUI
perficially similar 1t Is found, for in
stance, that by adding alum or iron
filings to the soil blue hydrangeas can
be made from pink ones.
1t used to he charged against by
drangeaS that the blue ones were
'sickly' in hue. The modern vivid
blue hydrangea is not, however. a
piece of improvement by plant breed
ing, but merely more skillful soil man
agement.
The cultivated hydrangea is rather
fascinating example of scientific Sc
lection, for in one sense of the word
1t has almost ceased TO be a flower. In
the wild hydrangeas only a few, or
even none, of the flowers are like the
snowy blossoms with large petals that
make up the entire head of the culti
waited plant. Wild species have little
white flowers in fiat-topped clusters.
and then one or two of the larger
flowers, which, however, are devoid of
the organs Of reproduction, are abso-
lutely sterile, never set seed. and exist
apparently for nothing more than
show-perhaps they attract insects to
the other fertile blossoms
BY some curious sport the entire in
f1orescence blossomed out into sterile
showy flowers. and this freak being
noticed by some old-world gardener, il
was at once seized on and propagated.
But the modern hydrangea is a sterile
plant. however gaudy. 1t has ceased
to fulfill the functions of a flower. Its
blossoms might as well be bayly coll
ored leaves.
In the District of Columbia there is
a native wild hydrangea, with soft.
creamy y-cOlOred flowers and modest
mien, now in bloom. For those who
love nature best when she is untamed,
and who prefer modest fertile flowers
to pretentious sterile ones. the wild
hydrangea, for all its humble appear
ance, is attracting more attention this
week than its garden cousins.

Watering and Mulching.

Watering pots and sprinkling seem
to be an abomination to many gar
deners," I remarked one warm day.
Yes" answered Mr.. Burbank,
"sprinkIing a garden is a picturesque
pastime and a pleasant refreshment TO
the leaves of a plant, but it does little
for the thirsty roots unless reduced to
a system which really saturates the
soil.
THE garden beds should be dug
deep enough in the first place for the
roots to stretch comfortably down TO
a layer where they will find an unfail-
ing supply of food and moisture.
And, secondly, soaking, and not
surface sprinkling, is the right way of
watering a garden. If the plants are
in rows or in beds make a deep fur
row or little trench with the hoe, run
ming the length of the border or wan
dering through The bed 50 as to reach
the different plants.
Fill this with water and let il soak
in; then fill it again for the second and
third time and replace the soil. Or
the beds may be thoroughly soaked
after sundown by letting the hose run
in different places, and the next morn
ing loosen the soil and cultivate, MAX
ing a ground mulch which will keep
in the moisture.
This weekly soaking followed by
cultivation is worth many days of sur
face sprinkling.
= In watering Young trees and
shrubs a shallow basin may be made
around the tree with the sides a few
inches high. This basin can be filed
with water several times and is to be
followed the next day by cultivation
and the ground mulch or, perhaps
better still. mulch of old manure,
leaf-mold, grass clippings, straw, dead

Lamb Outlets in Aspic.

Lay in a saucepan six slices of fat
bacon, one diced turnip, one sliced
carrot, one sliced onion, a littls grated
nutmeg and a few sprigs of parsley.
Then on the top place six lamb cut
lets, and add enough stock to cover
Put on the cover and cook slowly
until the outlets are tender. Remove
the saucepan from the fire and let
the contents cool. Remove the cut
let's when they are cold and press
them between two plates. Drain the
liquor and dissolve in it one and one
half heaping tablespoonfuls of pow
dered gelatin. When it begins to
harden pour a layer of it into a dish.
Lay the outlets closely together on
this and put the rest of the jelly
on top. Allow to remain on ice for
three hours. Mix one pint of cooked
peas with half a point of the liquor
or liquid aspic jelly, and set on ice
to harden. Unmold the outlets and
cut them out with a cutlet-shaped
cutter. Arrange the outlets in a.
circle on a very cold dish and put the
jellied peas in the center.

leaves, tan bark or sawdust, with a
little soil lightly thrown over all to
prevent the wind from blowing it
away
underground watering is always
more important than surface water
ing, because the plant absorbs water
through the roots, which may be sew
eral feet below. When practicable.
drain pipes are often laid underground
SO that water may be carried to the
roots Of trees or shrubs. and some
times an iron pipe is sunk beside a
| tree, particularly when located on a
sidewalk or parking. and into this
water is poured to reach the roots.
I'm the case of garden plants OF
smaller growth gardeners sometimes
sink perforated tin cans beside the
plant and fill with water when It has
slowly drained out"
This is something like planting
cannas in perforated sunken tubs 50
that the slowly draining water will
keep the plant always moist, I inter
jected.
An excellent idea where water is
lacking and uncertain and the tub
may be made a garden feature by sur
rounding it with rocks covered with
some of the sedums or any low grow
ing border plant.
W nile we are IN the garden 1t
might be well TO speak of pansies and
mention that, though generally con
sidered shade-loving plants. thev
really do better. on account of their
shallow roots, in full sunlight. with
a good draft blowing over them, if
kept we'll watered once or twice a
day.
Unlike most plants. they have no
objection to being watered in the mid
die of the day. but go through the
Summer afternoon all the happier for
it

what more can any one ask. Then
there is little cousin of Hooty the
Owl who lives in Prairie Dog town,

There are some people who believe
that zap zap, this little Owl and Buzz

hear that. That Owl, called the Bur

Buzztail makes use of one Of those
