blaze of daring colors abound and
arate little coats with hats to match.
Florals in effective spacing, cum
ming animal, vegetable and fruit
motifs on the new printed linens are
a special lure to children. Then
there are the exquisitely sheer print
ed handkerchief linens and the fine
dinities which are adorable for
dress-up wear.
Lace-trimmed organdie or geor-
gette is a favorite theme this
season with the designers of little
girl party dresses. Georgette made
over taffeta is shown quite a little.
A significant trend is the use of pas
tel colors which seem to have al
most gained precedence over all
white.
In the matter of styling, the prin-
cess silhouette is a great favorite
while most sleeves are just short
puffs. Note the dress worn by the
little girl with the gorgeous doll in
the picture. Her smart school and
playtime dress is of firm linen cut
on the new princess lines. Gay
striped printed linen is used as Dor.
dering. The style distinction of this
charming dress will make instant
appeal to both mother and little
daughter.
The other two children are look
ing their prettiest in dainty party
frocks or perhaps they took part in
"last day Of school, exercises. At
any rate their little pleated sheer
frocks are lovely and will be JOY
the whole summer through. The
wee maiden to the left is wearing
an accordion pleated voile as
charming in pastel colors as it is in
white. A wide sash about her waist
ties at the back in a huge butterfly
bow.
Tiers of narrow pleatings animate
the frock conferred in the group.
The vogue for pleating is as pro-
nounced in children's fashions as in
grown-up styles. The pleatings
about the neckline extend over the
short puff sleeves so as to achieve
the new-vogue wide shoulder line.

DESIGNERS PRESENT
SKIRT INNOVATIONS

Unusual color combinations and
a strong Oriental influence charac-
terize the new Alix collection. Some
skirts are so full and faring that
they resemble parachutes or lamp
shades, while others, are caught
under at the hem like Turkish
trousers.
The feminine silhouette is stressed
at all times and clothes at Alix are
fashioned to display slender waist
line and curving hip line. For day
wear, bodices are skin tight and are
usually made with a high neck
trimmed with bows or loops of ma
terial. All clothes show certain
amount of fullness at the hip, and
this is frequently stressed by the
use of a full and faring peplum.

She stopped and looked up at him.
And as he looked down at her, she
turned away with little droop in her
shoulders, and left him.
~
Deborah stood against the stone rail-
ing of the balcony, surveying the
changes taking place in her little
world, and was thoroughly miserable.
Everyone seemed to be in conspiracy
against her. Grandmother was very
happy; her cheeks grew pinker every
day, her appetite had improved. Grand
mother, Of course, thought that Debo-
rah was happy too. She didn't begin
to realize how empty life was now, and
how lost and forlorn Deborah was be-
ginning to feel. 1t hadn't occurred to
her that this dream Of hers which
had come true had never been Debo.
rah's dream.
Yes, Bryn was making Grandmother
happy; but that was frightening. Be-
cause, at the end Of the year -.
And one couldn't dream of making q
bargain with him to continue the play
acting until until Grandmother
didn't need anyone any longer. That
would be years and years, Deborah
hoped. And he had his own life to
live, his own career to carve out, his
own we'll, his own girl to marry.

own girl was like. She would be beau
stiful, of course, and probably tall and
lqueenly, instead of little and child
ish. 1t was difficult to understand what
her circumstances were that she would
allow him to make money for her in
such strange way. IF she were
wealthy, surely they would have been
married whether he had money or not.
If she were poor, one would think that
she would have been willing to marry
him and share his difficult times with
him. There must be something about
her that Deborah didn't understand.
Deborah moved suddenly from the
balcony railing and went inside her
own pretty bedroom; and there she
flung herself on the bed and cried mis-
erably into the silver and violet spread.
After long time she sat up and
dried her eyes. There wasn't anything
to cry about. What if they had laughed
at her? She would never see, the girl,
and the girl would never see her. AS
for the man, they were as distant from
each other as any two people could
possibly be, who had to act at inter-
walls an affectionate little comedy. The
other night she had tried, it was true,
to be friendly. She had tried to apol-
| ogize for not accepting his assistance
| with better grace, to tell him how
| sorry she was that he had been hurt
while trying to help her; and he hadn't
allowed her to be friendly. He had
been cold and unresponsive, and she
hated him for it. But 1t was better
| for him to be so. Far better. There
wasn't anything between them but the
relation of an employer to servant !;
| he had said so himself.
| She got down from the bed and tip
| toed to the door. No one was about,
she knew that. The maids had been
here for two days, and the cook as
well, but they were all down in the
living room with Gary, putting it in

Deborah went through the back door
and down the path to her old play
| house.

Garden Notes.
The ample rains Of the last week
have restored the green color to lawns
and gardens and make possible the
successful planting OF new grass. Sep
tember Is conceded generally to be
the best month of the entire year for
the establishment Of lawns. It Is
early enough that the young grass
seedlings can become firmly rooted
and late enough that crab grass and
weeds cannot compete strenously with
the better grasses.
This Is an excellent time for SOW
ing perennial delphinium or larkspur.
but best results will be secured in q
frame that can be covered in Winter.
This Is true with most young peren-
mails. even pansies.
Chrysanthemums and asters that
have grown tall and spindling should
be staked to keep the flower heads up.
Light bamboo stakes can be purchased
from large garden supply stores at
very nominal cost. With most varieties
of chrysanthemum, pinching Of the
leader in June or early July will
force branching growth and stouter
stems. It is, Of course, too late for
this operation this year. but is worth
bearing in mind for another year.
It Is not too late to plant Madonna
lily bulbs. Theoretically, they should
be in the soil now SO that growth
Of the leaf rosette may be attained be-
fore frost. Yet this species Is very
vigorous and bulbs set as late as
November sometimes give q very
good account Of themselves the next
Spring
If aphids appear on rose shoots and
chrysanthemum, they should be eradi-
Gated with nicotine or pyrethrum ma
terials obtainable from any garden
supply store and from many drug
stores. The aphids concentrate on
the youngest growth, where the flower
buds are located. Aphids do not eat
the buds but injure them greatly by
sucking out the sap.
Perennial phlox should be cut at
the ground after Towering and the
soil about the plants worked shall
lowly and replenished with bone meal
or other good fertilizer.
One Of the most beautiful Autumn
trees is the mountain ash or Rowan
tree. 1t Is wonderful in Northern New
England at this season, with dark
green foliage and clusters of orange
red fruits. Whether the mountain ash
would succeed in this area is ques-
tionable.
Grape myrtle was found by the
Tennessee agricultural experiment
station to benefit greatly from appli-
cations of lime, which were, at the

and will not reach full beauty until
the second or third year. Some gar
deners grow the plants for a year
in a garden row, where they can be
forced by cultivation and fertilizer
into strong clumps for placing in the
more permanent beds.
ArbOrs.
In erecting arbOrs for roses, grapes
and other home garden plants, the
owner should bear In mind the haZ-
ard from rots and insects. A little
more labor and cost in properly pre-
pairing the foundations will be we'll
spent. Red cedar posts endure long
while in the soil, but even this species
is attacked by white ants or ter
mites. The sensible plan is to have
concrete bases for all woodwork. By
setting a piece Of heavy pipe up
right in the concrete and extending
the same above the soil, it is possible
to make a strong arbor that has no
wood in contact with soil.
AS to kind of wood, it matters but
little If all surfaces are kept painted.
Otherwise, it is better to use cypress
or some slow decaying species. AS
a rule, arbors should not be directly
attached to the home both from the
viewpoint of appearance and safety
from insects. When well placed, per-
haps as the entrance to the garden
area or as the background feature,
the arbor can be made q very at
tractive garden asset.
Lawn Care" small phamphlet
published by commercial house
specializing in high grade lawn seed.
asserts that despite the fact that
many experiments have indicated the
advisability Of sowing grass seed In
September, only 80 per cent of the
home owners follow this plan. -Four
major reasons are set forth in favor
Of Autumn seeding as follows: l. Tenn
perature and rain fall are more favor
able in Autumn. 2. Fall seeded grass
roots more deeply and the plants
tend to stool more freely. 8. Fall is a
dormant period for many grass COM
peting weeds. 4. The soil Is usually
more workable in September, break
ing up into a nice seedbed. There
is no question but that it pays to
purchase high-grade grass seed, free
from weed seed and useless chad.
From four to six pounds of seed are
required for each 1000 square feet
of new lawn and approximately half
this amount for renovating estab-
lished lawns. Certain grasses are
better adapted for partial shade and
leading firms offer special mixtures
for this purpose.
The Soil.

of tomatoes produced in water cul-
lures at the University Of California
and Of excellent crops of roses and
carnations produced in pure sand at
the New Jersey Agricultural Expert
ment Station, he wonders what Is the

need Of soil at all. 1t Is true, indeed,
that the greater portion Of what we
recognize as soil is inert, that Is,
composed of insoluble mineral matter.
For the average garden, fertile soil
will always be matter Of necessity.
There must be reserve Of food and
water for the plants and, although
it is possible to supply these artifi-
cially In the green house and lab
oratory. this procedure would not be
at all practical in the home garden.
The soil Is more than q reservoir Of
food and water 1t is filled with liv-
ing organisms that are converting va
rious materials into forms available
to the plant. Let tree fall in the
forest and 1t is slowly but surely
converted into organic matter that can
be used by living plants. The soil Is
changing all the while. either inn
proving or becoming less productive.
The home gardener, by adding fer
tilizer and compost to the soil, can
maintain and improve its fertility. If,
on the other hand, he adds nothing.
the soil will become progressively
poorer until it is finally given up in
disgust as worthless for gardening.
When one thinks Of French and Ger.
man gardens that have been pro-
ductive for centuries, he can be as
sured that the soil can be maintained
in satisfactory condition.
Banana Mulch.
Among interesting new gardening
materials may be mentioned shredded
banana stalks for use as q mulch
and as an ingredient Of garden COM
post. Some gardeners in another
State report that banana fiber rots
more quickly than straw or peat moss
and is giving excellent results. Like
tobacco stems, banana stalks are
rather high in potash and this gives
them peculiar value. Up to the time
a machine was developed for shred
ding the stems. certain large fruit
distributors were greatly troubled as
to ways and means of disposing of

draws to an end and 1t Is well to keep
the lawn closely clipped during these
last few weeks. This grass Is an an
nual and depends on seed to survive
Obviously. 1t pays to cut of the seed
hsads, rake them UP and place them
IN the compost heap for rapid decay.
The copious rains help control red
spiders on evergreens and other plants.
In the greenhouse this pest is con-
trolled by Swinging the plants with

same time, almost fatal to mountain
laurel. It would be worthwhile to
follow out the suggestion. OF all
rapid-growing shrubs, Grape myrtle
is q leader. making several feet Of
growth each year.
As source Of blue color In Septem-
ber, the home gardener may well grow
the perennial ageratum. Native to
the Eastern United States. this species,
known botanically as Eupatorium
coelestinum, Is grown with little Diff
ficulty. In Winter the tops completely
disappear, leading one to believe that
the plants have been killed. For this
reason, 1t Is well to identity the loca-
ton of the plants with . permanent
metal marker. 1t Is q good species
for inclusion In the perennial border.
Ragweed pollen, presumed to be one
most serious causes Of hay fever, Is
receiving serious consideration In some
parts of the country. In certain COM
munities posters have been displayed
to help identify the weed, and the
citizens urged to destroy the plants
before they blossom.
Prof. w. r. Ballard Of the Univer-
sity of Maryland. In his ornamental
Gardening Notes" for August, points
out the fact that many plants suffer
from the heat of Midsummer. although
at times 1t is difncult to difierentiate
between heat and drought injury.
Roses, for example. are said to 60 into
a emi-dormant condition despite
abundant watering and fertilization.
Now that cooler weather Is approach
ing, roses as we'll as many other plants,
will again grow vigorously and the
Autumn flowers are often the best Of
the entire growing season. Naturally,
there Is little that can be done to
offset the effects Of high temperature,
but sometimes a mulch OF two or
three inches of peat moss will prove
helpful In lowering the soil tempera-
ture.
