CHAPTER NXU.
Open Warfare.

lean had her new bedroom furniture
sent out from Boston. 1t was as nearly
like her own white enamei set at
home as she could get, and 1t changed
the gloomy spare room into q nest OIL
a place that was a never failing solace
to the girl.
Mrs. Morgan looked on disapprov-
ingly as it was installed, particularly
when the old walnut set was moved
into the attic. She hadn't one word
of admiration for the change, and. al
though Jean knew that her attitude
was disagreeable merely because she
thought il an extravaganza, Conrad
still felt that his mother was hurt be-
cause the old furniture had been dis
carded as not good enough.
The night after it was all in place
Conrad suggested at dinner that they
all go to the movies. Jean would have
been glad to so, but tonight for some
reason she suspected that Conrad had
suggested it more to molllfy his
mother than for any other reason.
However. she was determined to be
pleasant and she turned to Mrs.
Morgan with a. bright smile.
THAT would be fun, don't you think
so? We haven't been anywhere this
week. It's the first night Con has
been home early"
1T suppose you were used to going
somewhere every night before you
were married." MrS Morgan observed.
well, not exactly" Jean returned
amiably But there were always peo-
pie running in and out, friends. you
know 1t seems to me that when /
was home there were always guests
for dinner"
Wen have to have party" Con
said eagerly. I'VE haven't entertained
any one since we were married"
What kind of a party?" asked Mrs.
Morgan.
plan it. We might start with dinner
and then have some other people come
in later"
"And who's going to cook dinner?'
Mrs Morgan said tartly. Jean can
manage for the three of us, but she
could never handle a big dinner
I'VE could have some one in to
help" Jean said quickly. Elsie
Grange could get me some one, I'm
sure"
II suppose you haven't stopped to
consider the cost" Mrs. Morgan inter-
posed. "If you go on in this fashion,
Conrad will be in debt before you
know it."
"Oh. now, mother" Con said quick.
lv. Don't be too hard on Jean. 1t
isn't fair TO expect her to give up all
her fun"
Mrs. Morgan's eyes filled with tears
and she wiped them away obviously
as she rose to her feet.
"I see that my advice isn't needed
and that I must keep my place. I'll
try and remember" she said. You
two go on to the movies while I wash
the dishes. / keep forgetting that

Before you buy awnings it Is always
desirable to know where you need
awnings, and what sort of awnings
YOU will need. OF course, YOU can
give some one else the responsibility
Of deciding. but nobody can judge
better than you who live in the house.
Shutters make awnings unneces
sary in some cases. On the other
hand, many people prefer to use avn
ings because they admit more light
and air. 1t is also unnecessary TO
buy awnings for sides of the house
that are not exposed to the sun:
Often the back of q house is shaded
by trees, and to put awnings there
would be a sheer waste of money.
No law compels you to select the
same type of awnings for use
throughout the house. Often window
pie, hooded awnings help to increase
ventilation, and SO they are particu-
larly desirable for your bedroom win.
doWs. where one wants all the lfEhC
breezeS one can get. Easement win.
dows require an awning with an addi-
tional rod to support the roof or the
awning so that the window sash may
swing out freely and without injury
to the canvas.
when there is a group of awnings
on a level with the same exposure.
single unit awnings are recommended.
The idea of the single unit awning
is to save time and effort, because
it is only necessary to raise or lower
one awning instead of two or three.
However, if you have bay windows
YOU have something else to consider.
They may have three different ex-
posures, and when you want one win
dow shaded you may want the ad-
jacent one uncovered. In that case
individual awnings for each window
are necessary. Then you can exclude
light from one window while you are
admitting air to another.
Many types Of architecture require
windows of unusual shapes and
sizes. and it is perpleXing for the
Evening star., 1926-05-21

housewife TO know what to select in
the way Of awnings. Naturally, you
want TO buy awnings that will per
form their functions in every way
and at the same time be trim and
neat looking. If you are in doubt
as to what type of awnings you
should use, ask for sketches of avn
ings. Take the trouble to look at
other houses about town and pic
lures of country homes in magazines.
You may find reproduced in a maya
zine or newspaper just the type of
awnings you need. but have never
happened to notice before.
Whatever window awnings you de-
eide upon. they should always be the
same color and design as porch avn
ings. A uniform effect is always de
sired. The palmer your awnings, and
the less scalloping and slashing you
have them finished with, the more
lasting will be your satisfaction. The
shopper who doesn't remember these
fundamental facts in the store will
regret them later at home.

was necessary in order to give an
effect of height to the figure. On the
other hand, the milliners might as
reasonably say that the close.f1tting,
small hat brought about the fashion
for the scant, straight.line frocks and
that now there are a few more flares
about our frocks because we are be-
ginning to wear wide.brimmed hats
again and hats with ballooning
crowns.
Probably the honors are easy: Or
rather, millinery and dress fashlonS
are just two manifestations OF the
same changing taste that we call
fashion. Women wore enormous poke
bonnets with enormously ballooning
skirts in mid-Victorian days-because
the spirit Of that age was best mani
tested by such monstrosities OF fash
ion. But that doesn't mean that poke
bonnets must always go with balloon
ing skirts. 1t is quite conceivabie
that even larger poke bonnets might
be worn with skirts shorter than
those Of the present day. TO our eyes
the effect would seem transcendantly
absurd-but it is conceivable. OF
course, that taste and conditions
might change until such comb1na'
ton of clothes would be the only
thing that looked smart.

Gravity on Mars.

Gravity, or the pull of the earth. Is,
as Prof. Einstein remarked OF almost
everything, highly relative. Theoretl-
callv, when we fall it is toward the
center Of the earth. but on a. mountain
side the center Of gravity in the noun
tain pulls us toward it, too. HOW
hard gravity pulls depends on the
size of our earth and how close you
are to it. On a small planet like Mars
there is far less gravitauonal pull.
4 high jumper of average ability on
our earth can clear a 612 foot pole.
on Mars he would be able to jump 10
feet with the same amount or energy
while on a tremendous world IKE
Jupiter he could not jump foot.
Now what do you know about that!

In your lawn and along the road

weeds, the little oXalis that people so
often overlook because it is abundant
everywhere. But you will find people
going to infinite pains to hunt for
flowers much less beautiful, merely
because they are rare. The rarity of
q flower is really only an accidental
matter. and has nothing to do with
its beauty or it's biological interest.

little three-lobed leaves, like those of
a clover.
The taste of the plant is pleasantly
acidulous; in fact, the deadly poison,
oxalic acid, is derived from this in
nocent-looking plant. An adult would
have to eat a meadowful, though, to
get oXalic acid poisoning from our
plants. One of the strangest of the
oXalis family is a pretty little creep
ing one, often seen under the flower
benches of greenhouses, but never
known home. but knocks about the
world in its chosen but modest place,
in the company of florists.
Several species produce small pc.
culiar flowers that are precociously
fertilized in bud, in addition to the
larger flowers that we see. Even
these have their differences on the
same flower. Some have a long style
