DAHLIA GROWING

It Is not too late to plant dahlia

flowers. Size of root piece does not
appear to be an important factor in
dahlia growing, so long as one has
sound material with a strong bud or
eye present. The soil should be spaded

inches below the root. Bone meal Is

pected to draw heavily on the soil
when making its rapid growth.

CLIMBING ROSES

For several years now the DR.. w. Van
Fleet rose has received the most votes
in the American Rose SOciety's poll OF
popular climbing roses. Several points
have led to this supremacy-beauty of
bloom, great vigor Of plant and disease
resistant foliage. There Is undoubtedly
no rose that is so universally satisfac-
tory in all these respects. The danger
Is now that the variety will be over
planted. much as has been done with
Spiraea Van Houtte and certain others,
and lose its popularity by virtue of its
very numbers. This rose is almost a
native, having been developed by the
late Dr. Walter Van Fleet Of the De-
partment of Agriculture and named ir

growers difficulties are solved by
friendly advice. The garden club
movement is one of the truly unselfish
and useful civic movements and its
rapid growth in our community and
other sections during these troubled
times is evidence of its permanency
and capacity for supplying real service.
The annual Peony Show of the Ia
koma Horticultural Club was held June
l and 2. A new method of exhibiting
was tried this year. Instead of the
usual long list of classes, there was but
single class, and exhibits were judged
on the basis of merit alone. There were
no restrictions as to number. color or
variety, although it was understood that.
other things being equal, large exhibit
would have preference. Prizes con-
sisting Of roots of choice varieties of
peonies were donated by peony growers
near Washington. A feature of the ex-
hibition was non-competitive display

Business Women Give Points
On Good Dressing and Style

I ETS 60 to Blanks for luncheon
~ every one is going there now and
we are sure to see some Of the smartest
new clothes. Let's drop In at Mrs.
Smiths before dinner She knows
some of the best dressed women In
town and you're sure to meet some OF
them there. We might telephone to
Jane and ask If We may crash one OF
her clever week end parties at the
shore. She's just come back from
Paris, and she's full of bright ideas
about the new fashions-and why not
run up to Robinsons anc order a new
dress or hat SOS to have an excuse to
see what the smart young .dowagers are
planning to get for Summer?
Something Of that sort we are quite
likely to suggest when we want to get
the latest sidelights on fashion-and
something Of that sort we were about
to do the other day until some clever
young friend with clever ideas sug-
gested that there were great many
profitable suggestions to be obtained
right here in town in any up-to-date
business Office.
Actually the well dressed American
business woman has great deal to
offer in the way of fashion interpreta-
ton, and the busy off1ce where these
ambitious young and older women
spend their busiest hours is sometimes
Just as good a place to take notes on
new fashion tendencies as anywhere
else. There is probably no group Of
women who consistently take as great
pains to be trinity, smartly and neatly
dressed on all occasions as ambitious
young business women. All sorts Of
interesting fashion fads are launched
on the college campus. Smart young
women at the country clubs and resorts
are quick to interpret the new fashions
in their own way. But In our owr
opinion neither the college girls nor the
young women who frequent the smart
country clubs can present as high ar
average of smartness and good TASTE
and trimness in dress as the girls who
have chosen q business career.
The importance of trim figure i

New Dress Shades.

closely fitted dresses demand some sort
of smooth foundation which moreover
contributes to the erect posture that is
associated with thorough going busi-
ness efficiency. Cutting down breakfast
to a glass of orange juice or . cup Of
coffee, and limiting ones luncheon to
dish Of thin soup or a plate Of plain
lettuce salad may give you the desirable
straight. fiat waistlines, but 1t also Is
likely to rob you of the strength and
energy you need to get through q hard
days work. It's a lot more sensible,
says the efficient young business woman,
to allow yourself to weigh enough for
general physical well being and rely
on a good foundation garment to give
the desired waistline slenderness.

give contrast to black crepe in some Of

Skirt Lengths.

Skirt lengths are no longer cause for
any serious concern. Still it's worth
setting down in your mental notebook
of fashions that the newest and smart
est afternoon dresses escape the floor by
II or l. inches, while sports clothes
escape the ground by IL or 13 inches.
Very long or trailing skirts are chosen
only for the most formal evening wear.
Practical evening dresses this Summer
will be of instep or ankle length or even
shorter.

Print Jackets

NOV there's another new idea. We
have plain jackets to 60 with print
dresses-and plain redingotes, too, to
cover print dresses. But now there are
print jackets to 60 with dresses Of plain
material. And the idea is good.
The pattern Of the jacket Is floral.
And on the dress at belt or shoulders
are fastened artificial flowers like those
that appear In the pattern Of the
jacket.

Silks Supple and Dull

IT is interesting to note that silks
favored by Paris dressmakers are
usually supple and dull, resembling
woolens in texture and, in fact, often
appropriating the names OF woolen
fabrics. For instance, there are silk
serge, silk cashmere and . number Of
finely ribbed silks reminding one Of
wool reps and ottoman.

Atifcial Flowers.

There is a back-to-nature tendency
in artificial flowers this Spring, and
many Of the new bouquets made Of silk
or chiffon really look like the flowers
they represent. Still there is some place
in fashions scheme Of things for arti-
ficial flowers Of the most unconvincing
sort. For instance, the posies made Of
black, red and white checked voile petals
posed against leaves Of Glossy black
linen.

Cool Evening Garb

EVENINGS are refreshingly cool at
II many seacoast resorts and while
light cottons, linens and sheer silks
are what you like most to wear during
the warm hours of the day somewhat
warmer attire may be needed in the
evening. This fact will undoubtedly
give impetus to the vogue for evening
dresses Of lightweight woolen materials
that were launched in Paris some
months ago, and that have since been
promoted for yachting dinners These
dresses are made Of lightweight crepey
WOOL instep length. Just the thing for
evening wear at cooler seashore and
mountain resorts.
