- UNDAY afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Alton e. Wise entertained in
their charming garden on North
- Wayne street In Clarendon at
an al fresco tea for the members
Of the Arlington County Garden Club,
after which the group visited several
other gardens in the community. Just
now the Wise garden is riot Of color
with blooming iris, peonies, azaleas
and poppies. There are many trees
about and while the front entrance is
terraced, nothing has been done to
mar the beauty Of the wooded section.
Punch and cakes were served under
the spreading trees, the hostess being
assisted by Miss Inez Peyton of st.
Paul, Mimi, who Is the house guest Of
her uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert Hall. An interesting visitor
at the tea was Princess Elaine Won der
Lippe, who has recently moved into
her home at l412 North Wayne street,
and is planning to have a garden in
keeping with her attractive picket
fence. Princess Won der Lippe is not
only a physician. but a teacher Of
voice.
Another lovely garden visited farther
down the street was that of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilbert Hall. Mrs. Hall Is pres
ident of the garden club this year
and she explained that most of the
gardens on North Wayne street are
memory gardens" for the neighbors
delight in exchanging plants. The
Hall garden, located on the crest of a
hillock, is outlined with roses, colum-
bines and iris. Giant rhododendron
with deep pink blossoms, mingled with
other wildflowers, cover the gently
sloping hillside.
Just across the street from the Hall
home Is about the largest garden of
iris one could hope to find, owned by
Mrs. B. H. Gilman. Instead of beds
of iris, there are literally fields Of iris,
Of every conceivable color and size.
Another garden visited during the
afternoon was that of Prof. Paul Bow
man Of George Washington Univer-
sity. who. with his charming wife,
have an unusual collection of wild
plants. The garden Of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. N. Morscher. nearby, also contains
lovely rock garden and many kinds
Of wildfowers.
The final visit was made in the
garden of Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Odom
Of Country Club Hills, Va. Here
again was a rare display of iris, with
blooms about twice the size of the
average one. The Odoms have an
estate Of several acres and in nine
years have transformed it from an un-
attractive and uncultivated spot into
thing Of beauty. The roses in a
short time will claim the scene, but

Preventing
Poison Ivy
Casualties
Brown Laundry Soap
Preventive and
Curative.
RY ANGELO PATRI.

THE poison ivy pest Is with US again.
l. No meaner thing can torment
child. Because 1t does not threaten
life itself the plant is allowed to thrive
along our highways and in our fields,
waiting for luckleSS victims. Every
Spring and Summer it takes its toll OF
burning, itching, scratching children.
Teach the children to watch for the
vine and to avoid it. 1t has three-part
leaves, one part for each letter in Ivy.
1t has a bronze -redneSs about its
young growth, and its vine has thready
fingers that take hold on rocks and
tree trunks. 1t is to be Stunned like
q plague.
Once a child gets a touch OF its re-
sinous juice on His skin the rash ap-
pears. The doctors have found that
certain injections help. These must be
administered by a physician and by
nobody else.
The easiest and simplest cure we
have found is brown soap, the common
laundry article. 1t is a good prevent
i've as well as cure If child is known
to be susceptible to ivy poisoning he
should be well lathered with brown
soap before starting out for the day.
Let the lather dry on his skin. 1t won't
bother him after it dries, and it will
prevent the resinous juice from taking
effect on his skin.
When he comes in for the day wash
him we'll with warm water and soft
brush, especially his arms and face,
legs. too, If they have been exposed.
Then rinse him of and pat him dry.
This treatment should be given him
daily while the season for ivy poison
ing is on-unlesS he is under the doc
tors care, and, Of course, then his di-
rections are to be followed.
Scratching the rash spreads 1t. 1t is
hard for the child to keep his hands
off it and he must have help. A bath
with a bicarbonate solution helps A
lathering with brown soap will tend to
kill it and keep it from spreading. But
If the thing gets ahead Of the treat
ment. call the doctor. Poison ivy can
make child very sick.
A campaign against this pest would

where children live should uproot and
destroy every bit that shows its ugly
head above the earth as far as the
property extends. The garden clubs
could engage in no finer service to the
community than drive against poi
son ivy.
Weed killer poured on its roots kills
it. Strong brine poured on 1t and
about its roots, repeating the treat
ment until it takes effect, is advised
by some authorities. The ak, fire,
weed killers, and strong determlna-
ton to destroy it, will help. 1t is the
toughest plant known to suffering hu-
manity and defies ordinary abuse.
You have to mean it when you set
out to kill it.
One thing more. If you attempt to
burn it stand well out of the way Of
the smoke for the smoke carries the
powerful element that poisons the skin
and produces the rash. Coat yourself
we'll with a lather of brown soap be-
fore you engage in battle with this
most pestiferous of plants.

Make-Up
For Bride
Last Of Series Gives
Helpful Beauty
Suggestions.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

AST-MINUTE beauty rites for the
bride. Another hour or two and
you will be taking your first step to-
ward the altar. If you can afford it,
you will probably call in your hair
dresser and masSSeuse. But If your
purse does not permit such luxury
let's see what's to be done about it.
Your makeup is particularly impor-
tant, as you should be neither pain
fully pale nor nervously fiorid. A good
creamy foundation blended over face,
neck and arms, back and shoulders,
too, will give soft tone to the skin.
Over that a subdued makeup, using
a cream rouge preferably, blending It
carefully so that edges are not per-
ceptible. This will conceal any sud-
den pallor. Then powder carefully so
that there is no trace Of shine, but
no trace Of that obviously powdered
look either. Lipstick should be applied
cautiously, too. And if any eye make
up is used. be sure that it is applied
so that it looks natural, and be sure,
TOO, that your mascara is the nom
run type. The bride of today need
not be pale, nor need she blush. An
exquisitely perfect happy medium
she. The one thing to remember is
that it is poor taste for the brides
makeup to be harsh or glaring.
Now let's look at you Your veil Is
arranged becomingly. Your coiffure
has been purpoSely planned as a gor-
geous setting for the veil, and beau-
tiful compliment to you. Your hands
are soft, smooth and white and your
nails perfectly groomed, touched of
with lovely polish, somewhat on the
subdued side. The deep polish shades
are usually gorgeous with white, but
I, for one. feel that it is better for
the bride to err on the conservative
side.
Your gown Is the essence Of SIM
phcity and smartness. And the colors
of your bridesmaids gowns have been
chosen, cleverly enough, to fatter
them, yes, but to give you a glamor-
Gus backdrop. too. Your bouquet has
a touch of the clever about it, too
the gardenia or orchids at the center
or heart so arranged that they can
be removed to form a corsage for your
travelling suit.
Soon you'll be walking down the
aisle, soon all eyes will be centered on
you pronouncing you beautiful. And
soon you'll be promising to love and
cherish. Along with those promises.
why not an unspoken one-that you'll
make every effort to stay lovely, that
you'll really devote a small portion
Of your day every day to keeping love-
ly, Just as your every effort will be
bent toward the proverbial happy
ever after" Be happy. Be beautiful.
And bear in mind that beauty encour-
ages happiness.

dy the Good Job Done by the Refrigerator From Scientific
Make the Most of Space
In Food Compartment
By Following Set Rules
Certain Articles Require More Cold Than
Do Others; Aromatic Ones Should
Be Kept at the Top.

start working again. Keep it in cold
storage until you are ready to prepare
1t for the fire. Be careful about clos
ing the ice box doors every time you
open them-even If 1t is to be only a
few seconds before you have to use the
box again.
NEVER place hot or warm foods
directly in the refrigerator. Per-
nit them to become cooled first. other
wise the temperature of the food COM
partment Is temporarily raised, and
the food itselfsmay undergo q change
in flavor and in consistency.
When the ice box is a natural ice
container model, see to it that the ice
chamber Is never less than half full,
to insure adequate GOODNESS in the food
compartment. The drains should be
kept scrupulously clean with boiling
water and washing soda. and the ice
chamber must be scrubbed with the
same solution once week. Drip
pans should have a weekly securing,
and be emptied regularly. Overflow
ing drip pans are great lures for
waterbugs and cockroa cheS-the damp
flooring attracts them in large num-
bers.
Every refrigerator, no matter what
kind, should have its weekly bath. If
all foods are kept in glass containers
or are wrapped in waxed paper, this
undertaking should not assume larger
proportions than busting piece of
furniture. 1t Is well to remember that
strongly favored foods pass their
scent along to their cold storage COM
panions, and they should by all means
be kept under cover whenever possible.
Do not leave meat and fresh fish
in the paper in which they arrive
from the market. Unwrap them, place
them in a covered dish, and set them
in the coldest part Of the food COM
partment Immediately.
FRUIT should be washed, wiped
dry, and placed in warmer sec
ton. 1t should never be placed direct
ly on ice, as it tends to become soggy
and lose much of its flavor.
Cheese should be wrapped in a
cloth, moistened with vinegar. placed
in a covered crock, and set toward
the top of the food chamber. Bot
tied beverages, of course, should be
stood at the bottom, if you wish them
to become very cold. However, do
not waste space on any that are to
be served with ice in the glasses.
Lettuce and salad greens should be
washed, dried, and placed in a cloth
bag or towel, so that they will emerge
crisp and cool, just before they are TO
be used. And don't keep bread in
the refrigerator! That is not the
place for it, and something happens
TO its consistency and taste that Is
very unpleasant. 1t belongs in 9
nice dry bread-box of its own.
Above all, remember-food, contain
ers and refrigerators must be spotlessly
clean-alwaysl
