SPRINCTIME
BY d. @. PEATTIE.

When pepole grow up they smile
indulgently at childish tastes in every
thing from circuses to spider lilies. But
have never put away childish things
still love a crystal better than 6
diamond, and can still work up more
sentiment about spider lilies than about
roses, although T have long since
magnificent tropical swamp flower
which / meet on the Everglades
while our little blue wildfower, so COM
mon in rich woodlands around Wash
ington this month, is called, in the
books at least, the spiderwort.
1t is bad enough to tack the name
of spider to this little sprite, without
calling 1t a wort (Which is Anglo
Saxon for herb or weed). Sometimes
I want to move for the abolishing of
common names of American flowers
Our pioneer ancestors, as revealed in
the names they gave to flowers, were
a literal-minded, nature-hating people.
Spiderwort, lousewort, DEVILS lantern,
rattlesnake grass, blood weed, snakes
head. dogwood, skunk cabbage, fleabane,
henbit, elephants foot, cohoSh, bugbane
these are the sort of names they
found for a new and beautiful flora.
In general, Latin names are a great
deal prettier-sounding. Who would not
prefer Tradescantia to spiderwort?
am aware that Tradescantia, which
is in the family with Wandering Jew
(and hope he has not wandered into
your loan beds), lacks every requisite
of q good garden flower, for it will
not stand up straight; 1t insists on
hanging its head; it exudes a sticky,
white juice when picked, and it fades
in the house at once. In this latter
respect, it is like all the flowers that
close their petals naturally; it cannot
stand picking. In natural conditions
the spiderwort opens its flowers toward
midnight, and is closed again at noon
Despite all these defects, go on low
ing it, and I notice that many other
people put it in their gardens, where
a note Of blue is O hard thing to
achieve.

pieces for the beret use this quarter

You may cut two sections from one
color and two from another and then
alternate them in putting the beret
together.
Also cut a strip lengthwise of the
material about an inch and a half in
width and an inch longer than the
headsize of child for whom the beret
is made. Join the sections to form a
circle and make small French seams,

The last word In bed room ensembles
is the spread and drapery combination.
The very uniqueness of such an en-
semble lends enchantment. It supplies
definite link between ornamental win
dow and bedstead treatment, the former
an architectural feature of a room and
the latter furnishing. Coupling them
together in the new and dainty way
adds still another charming ensemble
to the various styles that have been de-
veloped previously. It can be used de-
lightfully in Summer homes and Sum-
mer decorations. A glimpse of some of
the several combinations may prove
helpful to homemakers.
Spread and window hangings of the
same chintz afford the opportunity for
gay and CHEEKY interiors for chambers.
A smart way to make up the spread is
to have straight strip or f1ounce of
the chintz fall from the edge of a
straight portion just large enough to
cover the top of the bed. Set the two
portions tcgether with a piping Of solid

the chintz sets. A pale apple green
voile for the main portions with daffodil
yellow strips hemstitched (by machine)
down the plain top, and put In as bands
on the fiounce, and these straight and
fiounced portions put together with
deep orchid piping, makes colorIul set
for q room In which either green or yel-
low Is a dominate color note.
Nets of contrasting color are some
times used together. or nets with voile
or rnarouisette. The style of making
these sets is the same as that already
described. Or again, the nets, already
embroidered in gay and exquisite colors,
are used alone or in combination with

Household Methods
Cut Off Roses,
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

Remember to clip all roses and pansies
before they more than begin to wither
Never allow them to go to seed. The
blooming will continue If you clip them
constantly.
If you have seedlings, see that they
are sufficiently watered and properly
protected from excessive heat and sun.
Raspberry and strawberry boxes may
be put over them on very hot days,
from early morning until evening, to
keep out too much heat.
Give enough water to all your gar
den. When you water, water thor
oughly, and then let the garden 90
unwatered for several days. This is
better than giving spattering Of water
each evening.
Never water in the hot part Of the
day.

Importance every day.
Smart women are including this new
tuck-in for beach wear.
The neck line Is especially becoming

pointed hip band of the trousers mini

Pointed pockets also tend to give length

Another interesting thing Is the ap-

nish ample opportunity for contrasting

The lower edge of the scantily gath

finished with similar piping, or 1t
may have a narrow plating, double or
single, of the plain chintz. The window

only long enough to make sure that
Reddy Fox was not at hand and no
other enemy was in sight. Then she
crept out onto a little branch that was
Just in front of the little round door
and started down to the ground. There
was an old stick leaning against the
tree and slanting down. 1t was an easy
matter for Nanny, for she had climbed
before.
"There!" said she, when at last she
was on the ground. II guess I'm about

shall I do and where shall go?"
She hesitated bit, for she had never
been over here before, and it was all
new to her. She made her way to the
edge of the bushes and tried to make
up her mind whether to stay in the
bushes or to go out on the Green Mea-
dows. She was still undecided when
she heard little rustling back of her.
Nannys heart leaped right up in her
throat. Who could that be? 1t might
be Shadow the Weasel. 1t might be

Danny was staring as If he had never

separated SO long that Danny had been
sure that something dreadful had hap
pened to Nanny, and Nanny had been
sure than something dreadful had hap
pened to Danny. So it was hard for
either to believe that they were once
more together. It was Nanny who
moved first. After that first little squeal

Placards as Reminders,
AND THEIR CHILDREN.

One mother says:
Constant repetition Of things to dc
and not to do sometimes lose their force
by being repeated so often. So use
the system of getting across my ideas by
the use of placards. A card on the
toothbrush container saying, "Remem-
ber Me" or ''Let Me Shine Your Teeth;
one on the bed, reading, "Give Me Air, y
or on the door, "Close Me Gently" are
more effective than verbal reminders
Frequent changing of the cards Is de-
sirable and a little humor adds zest
Colored pictures, such as are found in
magazine ads, may be used for children
too young to read.

 latest picture opens at the Coli
 scum tonight. This is the best at tempt, so far as we know, to de- pict life in a metropolitan news paper office. The moment chosen as the opening of the story is the "deadline"-When the paper must go to press.
 The star reporter, Nosey Norton
 (played magnificently by young Grant WitherS, is out on double murder case. Just before the fa- tai moment he sends in a story to the effect that the murdered men were quarreling over a mys- terious blonde. The blonde is a figment of Nosey's imagination but real blondes-two of them come on the scene to take part in the war that the ingenious reporter has started.
 The big moment for Nosey and the paper is when Anna Lou arr rives to be trained in repertorial duties by Nosey-who promptly for gets his own. Many unusual charac- ters and situations make "In the Headlines" both thrilling and anus ing. The cast includes Marian Clyde Cook. Edmund Breese, Pauline Garon, Frank Campeau, Hallam Cooley, Vivian Oakland, Robert Ober, Ben Hall, Spec o. Donne1l and Jack Wise. The story is by James A. Starr, the scenario by Joseph Jackson, and John G. Adolf directed. The delightful acting of the young principals adds much to the joy of the most de- human picture of the year.
