Nasturtiums and various other sue
culent plants fall prey to plant lice
(aphis) during warm weather. These
creatures form colonies, usually
around the tips of the leaf stems,
just beneath the ''blades" of the
leaves. They are best controlled by
contact" insecticides applied at
weekly intervals to the under sides
of the leaves. Among the best are
nicotine sulphate, pyrethrum extract
and rotenone.

Peonies (and asparagus) are now
developing their buds for next sea-
sons stems. So now is the time to
feed the plants rather than in the
spring. When applying chemical fer
tilizers avoid getting any on the
plants, especially the bases of the
stems where the new buds will be. A
foot away is safe. If the ground is
dry, soak the fertilizer in.

Iris division is best done as soon as
the blooming season is over. Plants
three years old are usually too thick
to produce their best blossoms, so use
the spading fork to lift them. Break
them asunder, get rid of old, useless
parts and replant the pieces, taking
care to have the rhizomes (the thick
parts) barely covered with soil, but
with the fibrous roots extending deep
ly in the ground. For best results
give the plants full sun.

Stacks Fashionable,
But True Comfort Is
Found in Knickers

Twenty years ago, and now. What
a difference in the togs of golfers!
Two decades back any pair Of
jeans, discarded and looking as If
father had worn them to clean the
furnace, were good enough for the
golf course. And any old pair Of
shoes, their soles studded with dinky
spikes, were good enough for foot
wear.
And now? Verify, Solomon in all
his glory wasn't arrayed like any
one of the golfers you may see on
the country club courses today. In
deed, golf has become the leader in
mems fashions, with the apparel of
the links being transferred to street
wear. Golf clothes today are a sep
arate and distinct fashion note
among both men and women. No
longer will "just anything" do for
the links, and apparel manufac-
turers have definite lines of toggery
for the fairWays.
Maybe it all dates back-on the
mems side-to Walter Hagen. For
it was the "Old Duke" of golf who
first became Mr. America as the top
fashion plate of the game. Fifteen
years back (the older golf writer's
will remember it, a New York firm
passed out check at the national
open championship to the best
golfer. There was some question as
to the authenticity of the check,
but it served the purpose of making
golfers clothes-conscious. Today
one dresses for golf just as for any
other sport. in comfortable, loose
fitting slacks or knickers, spiked
shoes made especially for the game;
shirts with open necks and short
sleeves, and Woolen socks
And if you are old-fashioned and
want the real stuff, you'll go for
knickers. They are rather passe
nowadays, but for absolute comfort
on the links they are the Mccoy.
And don't mind the lack of creases.
They are meant to be that way. If
you can find a pair of long stock
ings to 60 with them you're lucky,
for slacks are the thing nowadays.

Classification of
Sport Shoes Is
Divided in Two

The classification sport shoes"
should be divided in two-spectator
sports and active sports. There is
vast difference, at least enough to
keep you from looking like the ath-
lete that you might yearn to be,
If you are planning to take up
golf in a bigger and better way,
start your golf lessons wearing the
correct shoes. You may not realize
it, but they will help you learn the
game very much faster.
The display windows of the vari-
Gus shops have, at one time or an
other, featured the correct type of
dress for golf, with plenty of room
through the shoulders for that free
and easy swing. However, the VIM
dow mannequin's feet are usually
shod in just the average low heeled
spectator sports shoes, or some of a
new and fancy style and color.
The best thing to do Is to invest
in good pair of spiked golf shoes
lAioG iidNC OCCil lLllCu OFCl "OOL
socks. Of course, walking shoes
with a wide low heel or rubber soles
will do, but the spiked classics will
keep your feet on the ground and
in the proper position, instead of
slipping and running what might
have been a perfect shot.
On hilly course, when you get a
side hill lie you will find your
stance is not very secure, unless you
are wearing shoes with cleats; these
also help to make you more grace
full when climbing the bunker on to
the green after sand trap shot.
OF course, when you become the
golf flend that plays So holes day,
rain or shine, you will find out shat
one pair of shoes won't do; you will
have to have two, so that one pair
can dry out after wet early morn
ing round.

Several Excellent
Rules for Care
Of Leather

l. Careful brushing with soft
brush removes surface dirt from
suede and gives the nap lovely
appearance A sponge rubber brush
is preferable.
2. Leather should never be
cleaned in gasoline, naphtha or
any hydro-carbon solution. They
dissolve and remove all the essen
tial fats in the leather, leaving it
dry and harsh.
3. Leather should not be sponged
with any dry cleaner, as it will
leave rings and spots that cannot
be removed even by an experienced
cleaning establishment.
A. When a leather garment has
become wet it should be allowed
to dry in ordinary room tempera-
ture-never near artificial heat. Do
not get the garment soaking vet
if you can avoid it. If, however.
it is soaking wet, place it on a
coat hanger and shape it care
fully. Stuff folded paper into the
sleeves to shape them. Next, hang
the coat where air can circulate
around it. Do not hang it over
radiator or lay it on one If
allowed to dry slowly and if of
good tannage, the garment will
not become hard and inf1exible. 1t
may be slightly firmer than before
but this can be removed by f1exing
gently between the hands.
5. Avoid getting heavy grease or
lipstick on leather garments. If
you do get grease on your leather
garment, do not attempt to remove
the stain, as you will most likely
spread the grease and handicap
the cleaner who will eventually
clean the garment.
6. Avoid spilling liquids on your
leather garments. If, however,
liquids are spilled, your leather
garments must be shaken immed-
lately so as not to absorb the liquid

Golf Dresses
Must Give
Freedom
Miss Marion Brown
Rules Out Shorts,
Stacks for Game

How to combine the qualities of a
champion athlete and a charming,
very feminine lady is no easy prob
lem to solve. However, it can be
done, and to prove it Miss Marion
Brown, women's District golf cham
pion, Is a perfect example.
Miss Brown, young, attractive and
just out of her teens, spoke firmly
on the subject of remaining demure
and appealing. There's no reason
why women in sports have to be
strictly tailored all the time" she ex-
planned. II want to be just another
girl when I'm away from the sport,
and love feminine, dainty clothes"
On the golf course, however, it's a
different story. Miss Brown has
very definite ideas on the proper
clothes for this popular sport, and
definite dislikes as we'll Skirts and
blouses or simple one-piece dresses
are the best choice, and the blouses
must have plenty of fullness at the
shoulder. Il have my golf blouses
made" Miss Brown said, because
I can't seem to find any that have
enough fullness" Skirts need not
be very full, but must have enough
width at the hem to allow freedom
of motion. Spiked golf shoes or the
classic saddle oxfords are best for
golf. but shoes that have heels too
small around are incorrect Many
courses have regulations that bar
you from playing in this type of
shoe, even if the heel is low
Most women golfers choose short
socks and wear them with or with
out silk hose. Wool socks, of course
are almost necessary, for the heavy
shoes rub and hurt the feet The
newest rage among women golfers is
to knit matching socks and sweaters,
and the effect is most attractive
when combined with a contrasting
skirt
During the hot days of summer
Miss Brown chooses an informal
fshnet turban or linen sunshade for
wear with her golfing outfit During
| cooler weather she does not wear
hat over her light brown hair done
in long bob, but if the day is
windy she always has a simple beret
tucked in her golf bag. In spite of
going hatless. Miss Brown has a
lovely, slightly tanned skin She
uses no protective lotion but does
favor good cream at night. It's
very easy to get nice, even tan"
she explained, for in summer you
can wear sleeveless, halter dresses,
but never shorts"
This last was said decisively. for
one of Miss Browns pet hates" is
the practice of wearing shorts. slacks
or culottes for golf. IF women only
knew what they look like" she
Evening star., 1939-05-19

means. Another dislike, she con-
fessed, is women who wear just any
old thing for golf. They wear old
skirts almost to their ankles; just
don't bother to take them up And
the color combinations are some
thing!"
Being attractive is no effort for
Miss Brown and modesty is another
OF her virtues. Believe it or not
she confessed that she still takes
golf lessons, doesn't want people to
know she's champion because Il
want to be liked for myself; hopes
she can keep up her good golfng, and
doesn't read all the papers! All
that, even with the honors she has
received, makes Miss Marion Brown
an eXtra-special person.
