Growing Dates

To grow dates successfully requires
climatic conditions which are found In
few sections of the world, says the Los
! Angeles Times. 1t is necessary that
there be extreme heat all through the
summer, nights as well as days. There
must be an abundance Of water for
irrigation, for 1t is said Of the date
palm: 1T must have its feet In the
water and its head In the sun" The
requirements include very low hu-
mildly and no rainfall during the
ripening period. In the summer the
green fruit turns to a vivid orange
color. As the date ripens, the color
deepens to a golden brown. This turn.
ing of color from orange to brown Is
: the development of the life line. When
{ this brown line reaches the calyx, where
the date Is held to the strand, the
orange color has all turned to brown
and the date Is ready to pick.

Beach Habits of France
Began Only Century 4

A hundred years ago beach life did
not exist In France, and nobody bathed
In the sea, writes H. Cossira, in a
Milwaukee Journal translation of LIE
Journal de II Femme.
But sea bathing became a fashion in
1913, when JOsephine's daughter,
Queen HOrtense of Holland, came to
Normandy for health reasons. In Au.
gust, 1924, the Duchess De Barry
spent two weeks in Dieppe, and made
this beach fashionable. For several
years in succession the daughter-in-
law, of the king was faithful to the
Norman beach, where people waited
for her impatiently to open the season.
Her first bath was a veritable event.
Madame wore black satin trousers
down to the feet with a big tunic,
which was almost as long, while a
small bonnet of waxcloth hid her hair.
Faithful to the tradition of the town,
the mayor accompanied the royal high
ness to the water, holding her right
hand. For this occasion he wore eve
ming dress and vanished slippers,
carrying silk top hat in the other
hand. The duchess did not release the
hand Of the poor mayor till he stood in
the water up to the knees.
Trouville, the other great French
beach, was discovered by Alexander
Dumas in 1884, also on the Norman
coast. The author of "The Three
Musketeers" stayed at simple inn,
and, after returning to Paris, waxed
so enthusiastic about the charming
beach that finally all fashionable folk
Of the period adopted Trouville as
their resort. Within ten years Trou-
vile grew like a mushroom town of
hotels and villas, and in 1850 the
famous Saturday tram to Trouville-
the husbands train--was organized
from Paris.
Deauville became soon its rival. In
1853 the Duke De Morny enticed the
entire imperial court to come with
him to Deauville. Yet Trouville re-
manned long supreme. The entire Nor
mandy coast became lined with smart
beach resorts in the years from185O to
1880. Then suddenly the favor turned
/ to the Silver coast and Biaritz, which,
in the middle Of the Nineteenth CEN
fury, had been merely a poor hamlet
Of fishermen, was made fashionable by
Empress Eugene Of France.
