NEW YORK, Aug. I9-The con
servative New York Herald Tribune,
in an editorial published August 10,
poses the question: What has be-
come Of that quaint old theory known
as Nordic supremacy" and then pro-
ceeds to answer it in terms of the
amazing fistic record Of three world

nu Fredericksburg, former M.
Ivv F. H. of the Fredericksburg
Hunt Club, Is one of the
best horsemen and popular sports
man Of Virginia. He and his daugh-
ter, Miss Patsy Ann Benoit, are seen
often in the show ring as well as
in the hunting field and their good
horses. Gold Age, Magic Lady, Master
April and Ivanhoe, carry them well.
While chatting with some friends
not long ago, Mr.. Benoit said, Il
want to have a hunt breakfast. and
as I hunt with the Fairfax Hunt
this season would like to have it near
enough to entertain the field after
hunting"
His home near Fredericksburg is
too far away for the tired fox-hunters
to 60 after riding to hounds all morn
ing. So Mr. Benoit thought Of and
talked about all the places where he
could have his hunt breakfast. Final
ly he said, I'm going to have it at
the Carlton Hotel in the Sharz1a
room" Several old-timers were nor
rified, "A hunt breakfast in the city,
who ever heard Of such thing?"
why the people in town will think
q circus has come when the riders
come trouping into the hotel wear
ing pink coats. black melton coats,
muddy boots and spurs" secretly
thought it fine idea. live in the
country and know how country peo-
pie love party in town and hoped
the plan would be carried out. Mr..
hunt breakfast following the Fairfax
Hunt on Saturday, at the Carlton
Hotel Then every one began to
talk about the party and there was
much excitement. The snow and
sleet of Friday night made fox hunt
ing impossible on Saturday morning.
SO there were no pink coats or
muddy boots at the party, but 1
believe every one that was invited
came, for they were there $50 strong.
Mr.. Benoit's hunt breakfast turned
out to be one Of the very best Of
the season. A bar at one side with
drinks of all kinds and buffet table
Of delicious food was enjoyed by the
guests. who sat at small tables ar
ranged along the sides of the wall,
and ate, drank and chatted with
friends and had delightful time.
The people were charming, and from
start to finish the party was huge
success.
After the breakfast. which started
at 2:30 and lasted until nearly 6,
there was music. singing of old hunt
ing songs and dancing of new dances.
and all there agreed our host could
not have found better place for his
party. Those who had been doubtful
of q hunt breakfast in the city had
the best time of all.

Medicine Kit
For Plant

Spray and Dusting
Materials Must
Be Available.

THE good housekeeper keeps bicar-
Donate OF soda, iodine, cough
medicine and a number Of other rem
edies on hand for the day when she
will need them. The good gardener
should go and do likewise.
The size OF his medicine kit will de-
pend largely upon the size Of his gar
den, although the variety Of plants VII,
have some influence The essential
point, however, is to have the neces-
sary spray or busting materials avail
able when needed.
The kit should contain:
l. Nicotine sulphate "a contact
spray for the sucking insects, aphids,
thrips, mites q teaspoonfuls to the
gallon).
2. Lead arsenate for the chewing in
sects, worms and beetles Zone table
spoonful to the gallon).
g. Bordeaux for diseases, black spot
mildew, etc. (Buy prepared and fol-
low manufacturers directions).
4. Sulphur (dusting) for mildew and
red spider mine parts sulphur to one
Of lead arsenate, or Of lime).
s. Mercuric chloride for disinfectine

6. Liquid soap as a spreader when
using nicotine sulphate.
7. Lime-sulphur for the dormant
spray to control scale insects. Winter
(nine tablespoonsful to the gallon)
summer follow directions on pack
age).
8. Napthalin flakes to drive out
moles and to protect bulbs during
storage.
The above are the essentials, al
though one can buy the lead arsenate
and bordeaux combined either as q
powder or as q paste. Similarly, the
dusting sulphur can be combined with
lime, lead arsenate and tobacco dust.
Pyrethrum and derris extracts are
now used in insecticides, as they are
non poisonous to warm-blooded ami
mals--in place of the lead arsenate
and nicotine sulphate, which are
poisonous.
The above are the materials, now
for the tools. A spray gun of some
sort. depending upon the size of the

THE value Of perennial plants In
the border does not lie in the merit
so often claimed for them that they
are little trouble and expense because
they do not have to be renewed every
year. A novice who chose to grow
perennials for labor saving would be
sadly disappointed.
They do not have to be renewed
every year, but they have to be cared
for throughout the year. This means
cultivation in the spring, summer and
fall, fertilization, sometimes winter
protection and about every third year
a division and replanting to keep the
plants from growing old.
Annuals, on the other hand, are
sown in the fall or spring in prepared
ground, are cultivated in the spring
and summer and die in the fall, often
seeding themselves for next years
crop. The expense of seed which must
be bought Is very small.
The difference in trouble and ex-
pense between these two classes Of
flowers is of no Importance. Work in
the garden is q joy, not task. pro-
vided the total amount undertaken
Is not unreasonable.
Perennials have merits, however,
which are outstanding. Animals must
grow from a seed to a mature plant
before flowers are produced, while the
perennial starts the year with a fully
developed root system, enabling 1t to
produce top and flower stalks with
a speed that often amazes us.
June Is the month Of bounty in the
garden, and in the wonderful display
that will soon be at its height there
is seldom single annual. Perennials
also are magnificent in size and color.
They provide most of the flowers that
dominate by force Of splendor.
If in addition to these qualities they
were everblooming there would be no
room for ANIMALS in our garden. The
most of the perennials produce two
crops, the finest first in the summer
and minor yield in the fall. To fill in
the midsummer period the ANIMALS are
indispensable. They also provide colors
which are not to be found among the
perennials.

Beware of Sunburn
When Gardening.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.
ny EA1SIE 1IENCE.
OCCASIONALLY some one who

OCCASIONALLY some one who
should know better makes a mis-
take which proves that human flesh
may err" Some one very close to
me went to work In her garden re-
Gently and came in with such a
bad dose of sun and windburn that I
want to caution every reader to begin
Immediately to guard against over
exposure.
The subject Of our story protests
that the sun was not strong, that
she did not expose her face for long
and that for two days afterward she
merely thought she had an ordinary
case Of slight sunburn. Then her FORE
head became swollen, her eyes so puffy
all around that they looked like wee
Sits, her nose was swollen, too, and
her lips broke out in a dozen places.
In fact, they were 80 badly infected
that she had to have the little hlisters
lanced by her physician. It took fully
two weeks for them to heal and In
the meantime she was, as she herself
puts 1t, "a sorry sight"
One can't be too cautious. There
Ii no harm In erring on the conserva-
tive side. Take your sunshine in small
doses. Even II the sun does not seem
strong-beware. Even If you have
never had tendency to burn before,
take care to apply cream and stay in
the shade. Ten minutes is all the ex-
posure one should be permitted the
first time, is minutes the next, and so
on. Very often, too, the mild breezes
OF late spring or early summer are as
beauty destroying as winter winds. A
continuation of sun and windburn can
be very painful and have really seri-
Gus consequences besides making the
skin look like raw beef, blistery and
bad.

Charming Legend of
Heart 's.Ease.'

"pRETTY little pansy faces" are
growing in every garden just
now, scattering sweet and kindly
thoughts by right of their meaning
in the flower language. The word, of
course, comes from the French
"pensee," a thought.
The pansy is said to be develop
ment of the violet-the markings that
form the faces" being the enlarge
ment of the little spots appearing
on the white violet.
Despite their universal popularity
there is very little folklore connected
with pansies, but according to one
charming legend, little king lives in
every flower. Only when the petals
are pulled off can he be seen-a little
roly-poly OF a man with pale green
head and light yellow coat, seated,
of all places, in tub.
The story goes that in the long
ago certain king sat on his throne
with his feet in tub of water. Why
is not made quite clear. Maybe he
had perpetual cold.
Anyway, he had the misfortune to
be henpecked by both his wife and
his daughters. They were all ladies
with extravagant tastes and used to
plague the little king for money, and
when he would not give it TO them
they crowded round in threatening
group as If to smother him.
Hearing Of the kings plight, the
fairies took pity on him and next
time his selfish womenfolk came
pressing round, demanding money
for fine clothes, the fairies turned the
entire group into flower. The violet
petals Of the pansy are thus the wife
and daughters, the calyx is the green
throne, and the little king still has
his feet In the tub, but he is no longer
henpecked or unhappy.
One of the most popular Of garden
adornments. pansies are said to grow
with picking. They have answered to
many other names, having been
"Jove's flower" in heather times,
herb trinity" to the monks and
"heart's-ease" to poets.

My Neiqhbor Soys:

One of the most important
things in producing dahlias Is
the idea Of pruning and dis
budding. Ordinarily you see dah-
las shooting up into the air.
The thing to do Is to cut them
on just above the second node or
second set Of leaves when she
plants are about 10 or IL inches
high. This will cause them to
branch and produce more flow-
ers. Then each Of these branches
may in turn be pinched of above
its first node, and these in turn
will produce other branches. In
that way you will get a nice,
bushy plant which isn't too high.

Fertilizer for Lawn,

Most plant experts consider manure
more harmful than good for lawns.
Large quantities Of noxious weed seeds
are broadcast in this way, and the
lawn Is an unsightly mess for months
after the first application. Use COM
plete plant food instead.
