We are indebted to one OF the readers
Of this column for bringing this subject
to mind. There are great many home
gardens In the city and suburbs which
are partially shaded by trees. Often the
trees are on a neighbor's premises and
again the tree may be fine specimen
on the owners ground. No one likes to
DESTROY trees which have been years in
growing and which add beauty to the
home. Yet 1t is true that no vegetable
and not many flowers thrive as well even
under partial shade as In the full sun
The partial shade of buildings is not
as disastrous as tree shade. since there
is not the associated root growth and
competition for nutrients and water.
However, there are differences in the
tolerance of various species of plants to
shade. Among vegetables the very early
crops, such as radish. spinach and early
peas, that are able to make part of their
growth before the tree is in full leaf or

not endure the shade and competition
of large trees. Cabbage and caulifiowers

If any.
Vegetable growing under or near
trees is not a very satisfactory propo-
sition at the best. but there are many
who like so we'll to see things grow that
from year to year the unequal battle is

WHITE POTATOES.
White or Irish potatoes are quite often
grown as an early crop in the home
garden with a view to supplying the
needs of the family during the period
that new potatoes are high in price.
For such purpose the early ripening va
rieties, such as Irish Cobbler twhite
skim and Triumph (pinkish skim. are
generally preferred. The home garden
er is rather up against a problem when
1t comes to potatoes for seed. He has

to take what the market offers. The
commercial grower, realizing that ap-
pearance Is no sure criterion or value,
insists on seed potatoes from Inspected
fields. Such seed Is known as certified
stock and each original sack bears tag
of approval from the board of agricul-
ture of the State In which 1t was
grown Such certif1cation was devel-
oped because of the fact that potato
tubers may carry one or more diseases,
any one of which may weaken the new
plants so that they cannot produce prof.
itably The home gardener must take
the risk, now fortunately decreasing,
since many seed merchants now recog-
nize the value of certified potato seed.
Potatoes are prepared for planting by
cutting into pieces containing TWO or
more eyes or buds. Some gain in earli-
ness may be secured by summing or
greening the potatoes for a few days In
a warm room near window. But 1t Is
really too late this season for this treat
ment, as early potatoes should be In the
ground now In fact. certain local
growers set March II as the earliest
outdoor planting date for potatoes.
The fertilizer for early potatoes
should contain considerable quickly
available nitrogen and should be used
literally. one pound per 30 square feet
or so. The potato plant grows rapidly
and makes good use of soil foods. The
early crop usually requires little or no
spraying. as growth is usually completed
before insects and diseases have become
prevalent. Potatoes produced IN the
home garden are usually extra fine in
quality.
STRAIGHT ROWS.
The professional gardener OF the old
school always takes exacting pride In
laying out his vegetable garden IN
straight rows. This is a commendabie
plan for every gardener, since straight
rows occupy minimum OF space and
assist in cultivation by allowing the
wheel hoe or tillage tool to approach the
plants closely. thus reducing hand weed
ing to a minimum. In the garden
straight lines are arrived at most easily
with the aid of strong cord fastened at
each end to a stake or rod. Garden
lines may be purchased at the seed
store or. better yet in the small garden,

DONS MANS ATTIRE

A beautiful princess, 10 years old,
clever and accomplished, who has
been banished from Japan and re.

just returned to Japanese territory.
She is the Princess Chin, daughter
of the late Prince Su, OF the former
reigning house of the Celestial en-
pire, who proved too big a handful
for her Japanese foster-parents to
handle.
Princess Chin was adopted by N.
Kawashima of Dairen, a friend of her
father, and brought up as Japanese
girl. attending girls finishing
school in Toxic under the name of
Miss Yoshiko Kawashima. She bios

She scorned all offers of marriage
with both Japanese and Chinese suit
ors and announced that she intended
to devote her life to the task of re-
Placing the deposed boy emperor OF
China unon his throne. Finding that
she could accomplish little or nothing
as girl, she kicked her silken
kimono and her brocaded sashes into
a corner and donned mans clothes,
scandalizing her foster-relatives by
wearing these on all occasions and by
choosing only young men as her asso-
eiates.
Her foster-father was obliged to
abandon the task of looking after this
too lively princess, and she was sent

Dairen, travelling by steamer to Tient-
sin, having had fellow passengers
and crew by the ears because of her
behavior en- route, when she insisted
upon being a man for the time being.

She followed in mechanically, watched
an irritated Anderson send the Pride
of Kerry to bed and threaten to lock
her up, and listened vaguely to the
conversation between her aunt and
the detective that followed 1t, with
out more than casual interest.
Nevertheless, that conversation was
to have vital results later on.
"Your point about that thumb-print
on the stair-rail is very interesting"
Anderson said, with a certain respect.
'But just what does 1t proven"

Anderson turned to Miss Cornelia.

"Yes," admitted the latter quietly,
her knitting-needles at last at rest.

The quietness Of her answer seemed
to infuriate the detective.
"Quite a pretty little conspiracy"
he said. "How do you expect me to
do anything, with the entire house
hold against me? Tell me that"
Exactly" said Miss Cornelia. "And
if we are united against you, why
should 1 have sent for you? You
might tell me that, too"
He turned to Bailey savagely.
"What did you mean by that three

The detective slowly put down his

Bailey realized it, too.
"It's true, all right" he admitted
hopelessly. He closed his eyes for
