SPRINCTIME
BY d. C. PEATTTE.

If you meet in the merry month of
May a man with an expression Of
rigid ecstasy and a wild light in his
eye, 1t Is probably an iris expert from
Takoma Park. The iris fever goes with
May as much as malaria with Sep
TENDER or pneumonia with February.
In fact, there are two kinds of gar
deners-those that have the iris bug
and those that are going to get it.
All in all, II you have to be bitten
by something, think ii the best mad
ness to succumb to. Lily enthusiasts
are now bit Victorian; rose mania is
almost vulgar; anybody can love a
rose. 1t is rather newer and more ex-
elusive to be delphiniac, and indoor
cactus deserts have had a brief rage
probably destined to repeat the ancient
history of mah-jong. Many leading
psychologists have keepers watching
them.
I have resisted the iris-virus as long
as I could. but it was a feeble resist
ance. Sooner or later the wild flags
will fiutter on the battlements of your
heart, and you will have your prejudices
and preferences. Some hold to their
old-fashioned fiorentines and german
icas, but this is the more cautious
group, or those who are just beginning.
1t is much more fashionable to go in
Tor the duSky beauty of japanese, the
splendors of the orchidlike types and
all the dainty little dwarfs. Ours Is not
cl~sate where all sorts of orchids
will grow; as an orchid region the
District of Columbia is not nearly so
good as the Puget Sound region or Eng
land: 1t is remarkable, therefore, that,
despite this, Washingtons suburbs have
very high reputation in the iris world,
and think this is due in great part
TO the enthusiasm and fine work of
Washington and Maryland amateurs.
Away down at the bottom of every
iris mans technical talk about falls
and standards, and hats and heads.
you Will come to the real love of his
heart-one particular iris, perhaps a
whole species, perhaps only one named
variety. He keeps this a modest secret
from the ears of the crowd, because,
if he advertised it too widely, it might
appear in everybody's garden with
vulgar frequency. But he divulges it
to- a chosen few.
Have I, too, favorite iris, a variety
that seems to belong peculiarly to me?
Yes, the bug has bitten me, too, and.
IKE the other enthusiasts, i have
picked rare one-IriS tuberosus-if
you must know. Those who care moth
ing for iris would not be edited If

Cabbage Rose Salad,

Remove the outside leaves of a small,
solid, white cabbage and cut off the
stalk close to the leaves. Cut out the
center with sharp knife. Place the
cabbage bowl in ice cold water for one
hour, then drain dry as possible. Shred
the remaining cabbage, mix with equal
parts of diced celery or sliced boiled
white potatoes, moistened with hot
salad dressing, and refill the cabbage.
Turn back the outer leaves of the cab
bage to resemble an open rose, sprinkle
one finely shredded red pepper thickly
over the top of leaves and serve cold.

Spoonfuls of sugar with half teaspoon

Navy blue is likewise smart, espe-

situation, though it may vary from a
duet to triangle to the whole family.
Naturally a temper outbreak can't be a
solo performance; you must have some
body to get mad at, to vent your temper
on. So never mind who the lone per-
SON. is; it may be father or mother,
brother or sister, husband or wife, the
housemaid or the cook; for the real
problem, as is here so well stated, is the
flying of the handle.
Those who are even-tempered or have
lukewarm angers that slowly or rarely
come to the boiling point should have a
generous sympathy for those whose
temper is hot and quick. 1t doesn't
take much to keep some people sober;
they could hardly get drunk if they
wanted to, and it takes an almost heroic
self-control to keep others from occa-
sional spreeS. But the temper addict
is under far more constant temptation
than the drug addict. Temper, espe-
cially the irritability kind, belongs tC
the hysterical family, and the rule for
all hysterical symptoms is control
