THE GARDEN
NJ MARY POTTER DAVIS.

The gardens of Versailles--what
memories the name reviyes Of the most
magnificent period of French history,
and It's tragic aftermath!
From a west window the Grand
Monaraue seems to look out ON the
brilliant scene, as the lords and ladies
of his court take part in some gorgeous
moonlight fete by the glistening waters
of the fountains. In the beautiful gar
dens OF the Little Trianon, the graceful
form of Marie Antoinette, III muslin
gown, walks with some of her court
ladies over to her dainty little dairy, or
to her thcater for rehearsal.
After the architects of Louis XIV had
evolved a great palace from his fathers
hunting lodge, the King commissioned
his friend lie Notre to provide an APP
propriate setting for the structure.
Beautiful statues and fountains were de-
signed for the grounds, and vases which
would have looked groteSquely huge in
less magnificent surroundings. An
orangery of prodigious size and great
beauty was erected. Water was brought
from nearby rivers at vast expense and
trouble, and the lovely pools of the Par
terre d'EaG and countless lakes and
fountains began to sparkle in the sun
light.
from the national treasury, and as less
revenue was now coming in, the condi-
ton of the people became deplorable.
Murmurs of discomfort arose, and grew
in intensity as a new palace surrounded
by wonderful scented garden" was
erected at the Grand Trianon.
Still louder grew the murmurtng
when, in course of time, Louis XIV added
great Conservatives and botanical coll
leetions and farm buildings for his
amusement.
Marie Antoinette continued the orgy
of extravaganza and added to the dis
favor in which she was held as an
Austrian by having a garden in the
new Anglo Chinese style laid out at
the Little Trianon. From beautiful
artificial grotte river was trained to
run in curves around the land. Trees
from foreign countries were planted,
and on an island was placed the charm
ing little Temple of Love, where Cupid
shapes his bow from the club of Hercu-
les. A little theater was erected. and
actors were brought at great expense
from Paris Sometimes at private
theatricals the Queen herself took part,
provoking the disapproyal Of her sub
jects. A tiny village was created where
the Queen and her friends could watch
the operations of farm life, and, in her
own exquisite little dairy. she and her
attendant ladies sometimes made but
ter from the milk of a fine herd of
Swiss cows.
It was along these garden paths that
the Emperor of Austria talked with his
sister. the Queen, after a dazzling fete
in his honor. trying to open her eyes
to the dangers of her extravaganza.
which was helping to win the bitter
enmity of the starving people. 1t was
from this delightful outdoor life that
she was finally torn away to wage her
losing fight in Paris for the life OF the
King and her children, and for the
throne of France.

Back to Pre-War Accessories
By MARY MARSHALL.

Under normal conditions. / suppose,
women'S costumes must needs be conf
pleted with innumerable accessories
almost countless little things that must
be added to frock 70 suit before the
tout ensemble is complete.
AS result of the war, women learn
ed to do without most of them, and
many of us thought that having prov
ed to ourselves that dressing could be
thus simplified, we would never go back
to the accessory habit again.
1t was within the first years Of the
war epoch that women gave up wells,
separate belts, collars, cuffs and other
lingerie touches, hatpins, fur collars,
parasols--that they began to wear one
piece frocks and learned that under
things could be reduced to single gar
mert. The time saved in not having to
attend to these triflcs left more time
to be spent sewing shirts for soldiers
and making mittS for the marines or
whatever it was that we did to show
our patriotism.
Odly enough, even the war did not
teach men to do without accessories
in dress. They went right on with
collar buttons and separate collars, belts
and three piece suits. and spent Just
as much time dressing as 1t there were
no war. But in matters Of dress, at
least, men decidedly constitute the I'M
adaptable sex.
And now, little by little. women have
gone back TO their pre-war accessories
wells. belts. collars, cuffs, scarfs in
Vulnerable and a different handbag for
every costume. And dressing has again
become a complicated and sometimes
ervc-wracking business.
A few years ago dressn1akers found
customers unwilling to order frocks
that couldn't be put on complete in
single piece-l1ow they purpoSely pro-
vide separate belts. unattached scarfs,
removable collars, cuffs and vestees.

There is an appeal about bird houses
and bird baths which makes them par
ticularly interesting as we'll as appro-
pirate to gardens or lawns Of whatever
size. ANY who assist in the welfare
OF birds are DOING q service not only 20
themselves but TO all who delight in the
beauty of the out-of-doors, for more OF
that beauty is dependent upon bird life
than is the general superstition.
Scientists who have made special
Etudy Of the subject give to vegetation
only a short span of existence without
the saIutary effect of the birds. which
do mueh to aid in its preservation
through destroying the enemies TO plant
life. It seems as If We ought to do the
birds q good turn in providing Them
homes, especially when so much Is done
yearly to turn them out OF the natural
ones they have inhabited.
A bird house is not an arbitrary mat
ter, IS some may suppose. 1t depends
upon what kind Of bird is to be invited
to make its abode in our garden or
shrubbery Robins. phoebe birds and
cstbirds will not move into any bird
house They prefer more open homes,
such as shelves with covered roofs. not
particularly attractive to feature as
things of beauty in the garden. But an
apartment house" for birds, such as
shelves with covered roofs, can be
sucked In somewhere, while the more
ornamental sort of bird houses, which
can resemble miniature dwellings, can
be featured IN more conspicuous spots.
Face them away from the direction Of
stormy winds In either case.
Very pretty and fastidi0us appearing
may be the bird houses for such birds
as build normally in the hollows OF
trees. Among these are chickadees and
wrena. These and other feathered ten
ants prefer an opening for entrance
well above the floor" of the house.
The height allows for q nesting cavity
inside. Then when the eggs are
Matched there is not the danger OF the
young birds topping out Of the NEST. !"

The inside of the bird house is as
important as the outSide-indeed. much
more important to the birds them
selves. 1t is easily possible to make
your own bird houses out of old cigar
boxes or any ordinary wooden con-
tainer of the right dimensions There
should be rooms with partitions about
one inch in heighth and few inches
apart. The openings for wrens need
be no larger than one inch across.
whereas chickadees require an opening
of one and one-eighth inches. For
some of the other birds, such as mar
tins one and Sexen-eighths inches Is
right.
Woodpeckers and fickers like to nest
in bird houses that are among scat
tered trees, whereas wrens prefer houses
In the silrubbery. Martins are at nome
near dwellings, but not closer than 20
feet. They like open spaces. What
ever the house, 1t should be cleaned
out each year before the nesting season
begins.

more important to the birds than the
outside. that, too. is not without its
requirements for their safety. Colors

for the enemies of the feathered crea-
lures to locate them for prey. Could
the birds themselves talk intelligibly,
they would probably express prefer
ence for the rustic, bark-covered sort
of sanctuary, which most nearly reSem-
bles the sort that nature provides and
which does not attract attention to
itself.
Small birds like human society. They
build near houses rather through choice
than necessity, partly because they feel
safer near human protection than
within the localities where large and
uuarrelsome birds nest. A well placed
bird house is near a dwelling and on
a pole from six TO eight feet in height.
