SUMMERTIME
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

COME of my friends are able, they say,
- to distinguish what they call 'lull'
between the gay torrent of the Spring
flowers and the blooming tide of the
Summer flowers. This may be true in
gardens though as a rule TULIP occurs
whenever you go to visit your friends
gardens you should have come week
earlier or a week later. In the woods
and fields around Washington I cannot
notice any lull in the constant deflle OF
wild flowers, nor can 1 distinguish be-
tween Spring and Summer flowers as
to draw any lines. There is only a cer-
tain gradual coarsening (rather an
unkind word, but not too inaccurate)
from the dainty type of woodland wild
flower like Spring beauty and Hepatica
and mayfower to the big tough-stem-
med showy Queen Anne's Lace, the
daisy, black-eyed Susan and the vart-
Gus wood Sunflowers But / would not
know where to draw a line between
them, since in the intermediate weeks
of early June, for instance, We get
such blossoms as great rhododendron,
blue marsh flag and the enchanting
Chrosperma, that goes by the unattrac-
tive common name Of fly poison, and Is
one of the glories OF Suitland bog, that
wonderland so near to us which few
Washingtonians know.
Chrosperma rises from big bulb on
a curious straight, leaf1ess stem, that
terminates in a dense spike OF hundreds
of handsome white flowers. So poison
GUS is it that, 1t Is said, there Is no
antidote for its toxic principle and,
indeed, If memory serves me rightly, its
poison is chemical much the same as
that of the most deadly Of the Aminita
mushrooms.
Chrosperr1a is perhaps the oldest the
most tropical-looking Of all our mem
bers of the lily family. We usually
think of this family as a family of
Spring, because of hly-of-the-va
grape hyacinth, hyacinth, star-of- Beth
lehem, Solomon's Seal, trout-lily, corn
lily and wake robin. But out of the
38 species around Washington, IA are
flowers of Summer, and many OF them
are members of the tribe OF the family
to which our strange Chrosperma be-
! longs. For instance, the bunch-hower
, or Melanthium, with superb spreading
| masses of white flowers, which comes
| from swarnps near Falls Church, the
| Reform School and Fort Meyer. Or
| the beautiful little false bog asphodel,
which has been brought out Of Suitland
bog by hand of the careful collector
And, above all, our three native lilies,
not yet in bloom, although many are in
| bud.
! In this part of the world we are
! decidedly weak" on those charming
! little plants of the lily and related
| families that are so common in the
Old World, and make Mediterranean
Spring so delightful-big, brilliant
/ blossoms. generally almost stemless
! and seeming to burst right out of the
ground in response, as the old Greeks
| thought, to each footprint of the god
| dess of Spring. But we excel in the
strange, tall. leafy. poisonous-rooted
many-flowered, marsh-haunting species
Of Summer, like Chrosperma and
J bunch-flower, Stensnthium, false helle-
| bore. devils-bit and bog asphodel.

All Occasion Dress Selection
BY MARY MARSHALL.

TT IS pretty hard to put & good
fashion out of the running, and
after redingotes had enjoyed q
season of favor during the Sum-
mer Of 1891, it was hard to believe
that they would be out Of date in 1882.
AS every one knows, they are not out
Of date, only they have taken a new
lease on life by changing their appear
ance.
There are redingote costumes made
with dresses of sheer printed cottons
or linen. worn with the redingote made
Of linen or heavy cotton. Sometimes
the dress is printed chiffon or geor-
gette, with coat of lightweight. un-
lined wool, and sometimes both under
dress and redingote are made OF silk
crepe.
The underdress may be made With
short sleeves or no sleeves at ALL with
a redingote Of long sleeves or sleeves
to the elbow. BY way Of variety, the
underdress sometimes has sleeves while
the redingote section has none.
The dress shown in todays sketch
was chosen by the brides mother at q
recent morning wedding. The dress was
of figured silk crepe, with coat Of
navy blue silk crepe lined with the
dress material. The dress sleeves were
very short and the coat sleeves covered
the bend of the elbow.
A dress of this sort will serve in
Vulnerable purposes in the wardrobe Of
any woman. 1t is a good, all-occasion
dress to wear in town on all but the
warmest days in Summer. With the
coat, it is simple and sedate enough
for street wear or short trips. but with
the coat removed, 1t Is light and fes-
tive enough for informal dining and
dancing.
We are all in favor Of the redingote
ensemble, with its long lines and nicely
belted waist, for the woman of matronly
figure. The new ensembles, with their
sleeveless dresses and three-quarter
length swagger coats, may be charming
when worn by the girl who is young
and very slender, but they're a less
desirable fashion for the older woman
who wants to retain the illusion of
youthful slenderness.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Child Impulses.

TN order for children to grow and
develop it is necessary for them to
act. Not to act is obviously of no help
at all, though it appears that the aver
age mother is intent upon teaching the
child Just one thing, and that Is mot
to do" Naturally. a great many of the
things children want to do must be
forbidden to them-not as many things
as mothers do forbid them-but many
things can be done and some can't
be done.
The method Of preventing future mis-
behavior Is construed by mothers to
mean Furnishing the bad acts. That
isn't nearly as good an educational pol
Icy as letting the child do something
desirable instead OF preventing him
from doing something undesirable.
What the child wants to do is to act.
Prevention of action Is irritating but
not educational. Allowing the child to
act and to choose the right way
to act is a definitely educational force.
And, what Is more, a pleasing and
satisfying one to the child.
Suppose the child wants to throw
There is nothing wrong in the act of
throwing; there is only something
wrong when the child chooses the wrong
objects to throw, or throws the right
object at the wrong target. Why pun
ish the throwing? That doesn't make
the child want to throw one bit the
less; in fact 1t intensifies his desire to
throw.
Instead applaud his desire to throw.
Tell him you approve of 1t. Make
throwing not only a satisfying muscle
exercise but a game of skill as well
Any one can pick up clod of mud
and throw it at house, or pick up
a stone and throw it at window, but
it takes skill to throw a clod of dirt
into large box. or stone into hat.
or a horseshoe over a ring, or hoop
over a stake. The moment the mother
discovers her growing child is devel-
oping the throwing habit, let her fur
nish him with objects that are fun to
throw and make the game q good one
by suggesting also harmless target.
There is hardly an act which child
wants to perform that can't be salts
fled in some harmless way. Cutting
marking with pencil or pen, carrying
dishes, turning on water, opening ice
boxes, lighting matches, turning on gas
stoveS-all the things every normal,
natural child exposed to the activi-
ties of a household is absolutely certain
to want to do. To prevent his doing
any Of them inevitably leads to ex-
treme irritation on the part of the
thwarted child. 1t is the most inef-
fective training for living and Is futile
as well.
Children will act without their
mothers approval, If not with it. When,
the child first puts out his hand to
touch what his mother is sure should
not be touched, begin training him to
do things rightly, harmlessly, and sat-
isfying. Do not embrace that futile
policy Of saying. mo, no." and then
slapping and spanking which leads no.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

I'VE did not see daylight until the

3 counties, and 13 persons were killed.
This almost slipped from my mem
ory am 81 years old, and 1t Is
hard to remember. thought this
might be interesting to any one who
was near there at the time.
MRS. E. A. LUBENOW."
Mrs. Lubenow was kind to tell us
about the comet and the fire. 1t Is
not likely that there was any con-
nection between them-it must have
been just an accident that they came
at the same time.
Comets at many times have brought
fear to people; but there is little danger
that they will harm the earth. Some
of them are of enormous size, but
astronomers say that they do not have
great weight If one should drop on
the earth, it might cause local damage;
but we may feel sure that it would not
break the earth to pieces.
The earth has passed through the
tail of one or more comets without
report OF damage. 1t is possible that
a comet carrying poison gas will some
day strike the earth; but there is not
enough danger of that for us to stay
awake at nights worrying about.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

nit a routine committee report, or in
sert something in the appendix of the
Congressional Record, he has been
silent.
He is always an early arrival for
Senate sessions, often the first to ap-
pear. He goes to his seat in the rear
OF the chamber on the Democratic side
and remains there through most Of the
session. Sometimes he strolls around
smiling a greeting to some colleague
or stopping for a brief chat.
Beyond that, however, he has taken
little part In the deliberations of that
body.
Perhaps, like Morrow, he wants first
TO learn the ways of the Senate be-
fore he becomes really active. That
was Morrow's idea. Then, too, per-
haps he has seen how Senate veterans
delight in pouncing on the loquacious
newcomer, and he doesn't care to risk
that himself.
However, the real reason for his
ouietness is perhaps the man himself

not in use. This furniture is light and
easy to handle. Canvas-covered, fold
ing, wooden-frame chairs are actually
cheap. If the grounds are sunny, get
those with the head awnings, and large
beach umbrellas with or without table
standards.
For the garden plot which is sunny
there are endless plants to put on
shelves fastened against garden walls
or on standard flower holders, as well
as to grow in small gardens. A very
little money will make a brilliant flower
garden from plants already started and
ready to transplant. In such plots, trel-
lises can be put to more use than just
ornaments.
There are swaying hammocks which
nrw come with entire iron frames and
portable cushions and mattresses. Be-
fore these came out the comfortable
sofa hammocks were feasible TO use on
covered and sheltered verandas and sun
parlors only. Today, when the uphol-
stery can be gathered up and carried
indoors at night, or when storm threat
ems. these swaying hammocks are prac-
tical for out of doors. They lend an es-
pecial air of luxury to the small garden
plot or lawn which is under discussion

beautiful. From Newfoundland to Mani
toba, south along the mountains Of
Tennessee and North Carolina, these
trees flourish. The wood is close
grained, soft and weak. 1t is light
brown in color and has no commercial
value. The tree grows slowly and is
most effective in border. In the Fall
the yellow leaves turn deep red be-
fore they drop.
Besides being most welcome as food
to the birds, the astringent properties
make it useful in medicine. The thin
flesh of the berry is very sour. In Ten
nessee and North Carolina the berries
are gathered and dried to be used in
home remedies The inner bark has
medicinal properties also.
This tree shows a preference for cold
and unsheltered spots. There are 80
species of the Sorbus, they are to be
found distributed over the Northern
Hemisphere and nearly always on noun
tain slopes Thousands of birds would
starve every Winter but for the berries
these trees produce and serve through
the cold and dreary season.

A Sermon for Today
NY FANNY Y. CORY.
By REV. JOHN r. GUNN.

We are continually reading in the
newspapers accounts Of the downfall
of men high up in the business world.
Seldom do many days pass but that we
read of the downfall of some man who
has stood well and who has occupied
a position of trust and influence. Why
do these men fall? How does 1t hap
pen that so many men In business go
wrong and fall into disgrace?
Whatever else may be said, am sure
one cause is the failure of men TO for
tify themselves against temptation.
Think of sending an unarmed army to
meet an enemy on the battlefield. You
would not expect anything but de1eat.
The business world is a real oattlenelo,
and a very perilous one. And When men
rush into this field of battle unarmed
and unfortif1ed, it is no wonder tnat
they 90 down in defeat and dishonor.
Life Is everywhere a battle. In what
ever sphere we move, whether in busi-
ness or elsewhere, we have to wage
continual conflict with all sorts of
enemies and temptations. How can we
expect anything but to break down and
fail, unless we are armed and pre-
pared for the conflict?
What shall one do that he may be
prepared and able to resist temptation?
There are several things he can do;
but one of the most important things
was pointed out by David, when he
said: Thy word have hid in my heart,
that I might not sin against Thee" I"
There is nothing that will so fortify us
against temptation as to have the word
Of God hid in our hearts. Read the ac-
count of the three temptations of Christ
recorded in the fourth chapter of Mat
thew, and you will observe that in each
case He repulsed the tempter with a
quotation from the Scriptures. If men
would arm themselves with the Word of
God, they would find 1t to be mighty
weapon in the battle against sin and
evil Let me store away in my heart,
