the word, of course. 1t looks like snow

novelty in Washington. Ten times
a novelty on warm night in April!
Even so because it was fresh and new
and sensational, Miss Chandler and
her assisting cast raced through the
act to a constant obligatto OF ap-
plause At the end, the number OF
bows reminded one of successful
first night in a theater.
1t was a pretty costly proposition
to convert that ball room into an ice
rink. It took a lot of water and
chemistry and things drama reporters
can't even spell to do it. The sponta-
neous delight of last nights audi
ence, however, indicates that this is
no time to be selling short on Mr..
Moore, Maxim Lowe and others be-
hind the enterprise. They've got
something which promises to be even
better when the ice gets harder ana
the assisting ballet gets over its JltterS.
Condonable jitters, it must be ad-
mitted.
Miss Chandler did not have them,
though. Maybe other skaters can 90

do flving splits, sit-doWn spins ana
lot of other things you don't learn

make dozen falls look plausible,
without taking a one.
There were falls, however. Cute
things they were, executed by a
couple of members of the ballet who
got twisted up in those long, clinging
chiffens which make the act look
prettier, and seem, at least, lot
harder.
The show is effectively lighted and
extremely we'll dressed. 1t would be
unfair not to mention this fact even
when the mind wants to go running
back to the vision of Miss Chandler

plants are escapes from cultivation
and appear able to compete with grass
and weeds. The day lily belongs to
the genus Hemerocallis and is not
really lily at all despite its popular
name. There has been a great i'm
provement in varieties in recent
years so that it is altogether possible
to have flowers from early May until
September. B. Y. Morrison, in circular
No. ~. Department of Agriculture.
entitled The Yellow Day Lilies" dis
cussed these new developments in
some detail and states that the colors
now cover a range from the palest
sulphur yellows through intense
lemons to orange and rusty reds This
in itself indicates 4 great advance
over the simple yellow and orange
forms OF two decades ago
Once variety is established it may
be increased by division Of the clumps.
Mr.. Morrison states that division may
be practiced either in Spring or Mid
summer. but that in Midsummer the
foliage should be cut of to half its
length as is done with the iris. In
planting the root should be planted In
such a manner that the base of the
leaves is about 2 inches under the
soil.
Some Of our local gardeners produce
new varieties from seed which is rarely
produced in nature. but may be OBJ
tanned by oss-pollination by hand.
The young plants need some Winter
protection to prevent their being
heaVed out of the soil by frost. Some
OF the seedlings will flower in their
third growing season. All in all. the
day lily is good garden plant. gen.

and lack of regular cultivation. On
the other hand, the plants reward the
owner for good care.

raspberry Is, perhaps. the most
satisfactory home garden fruit. The

ditions, continues for two or three

These plants will with good moisture

easily be overdone. 1t must be re-
membered that the food which sup
plies the plant is all manufac actured in
the leaves. and IL too closely clipped
there is not adequate leaf surface to
carry on these functions. This is
especially true in blue grass. more so
than in crab grass or bent grass. both
of which grow closer to the soil. Right
At this season blue grass is almost At
rest and close clipping simply injuries
the blue grass and favors the crab
grass.
Investigations have shown that the
root system of blue grass cut inches
high is two to four times as extensive
as that OF grass cut to l inch. 1t Is
difflcult to set the mower so as to leave
; inches Of grass. but it is usually pos-
sible to adjust the bar 20 that 2 inches
are spared. There are some makes of
mowers that can be set At ; inches.
