FUN Is FOUND IN GROWING
MORE DIFFICULT PERENlVIALS

After the easier tasks of the garden
have been mastered, ambitious gar
deners turn to the more difficult feats
and find keen pleasure in succeeding
with them.
Growing perennials from seed might
be considered the second step in prop
agation. Though many of the peren-
mails are as easy to grow as the an
nuals, most OF them will not flower
until the second year. Some are very
slow to terminate, and require special
patience and careful methods, which
are still easy. to those willing to take
care.
Even the perennials which are COM
monty propagated by division, such as
peonies, iris, phlox, chryanthemums
and others, may be grown from seed
by patient workers; and while the
seeding plants are not like their parent

The rugs woven in and about the
mountain province of Daghestan
are among the best made. In this
far-away province the weavers have
kept to the old designs, dyes and
standards of workmanship. Some
times a couple of years may be
spent on one piece, and the rugs are
seldom larger than 4 by 10 feet. The
designs are more elaborate than
most other Caucasian carpets and
worked with exquisite precision.
The trans-Caucasian province Of
Shirvan touches Daghestan across
the mountains and their carpets are
similar, though those of Shirvan
are coarser in both color and de-
sign. The output of this province
Is enormous and of interest to us
as so many rug dealers, when In
doubt, call any rug of this area
"Shirvan." Especially do they speak
of the modern Daghestan this way.

characteristics of a true Shirvan are
its wide borders, diamond, cruciform
and other clean-cut shapes touching

tilinear design. Baku, on the Cas-
plan Sea is the shipping port for
Shirvans and other Caucasian car
pets, and the product Of Baku itself
Is similar to Shirvan.

The Soumak rug Is unmistakable;
of all the carpets made in the East
it is the only pileless one, except the
Turkish KILN, and the tapestry
quality of the Kilim is quite diff
ferent from the Soumak. Some
times Soumaks are mistakenly called
Kashmir, possibly because Of their
intricate, very fine design and the
fact that they have many loose ends
of thread left on the back, as do the
famous Kashmir shawls. The pat
tern IS geometric and ornate in the
general Caucasian manner and
closely allied to Daghestans and
Shirvans. If possible it is more
ornate; the field of the carpet Is
occupied from one end to the other
by large medallions with smaller
medallions in between, and all the
intervening space Is occupied by
tiny geometric figures, one within
another, until one gets lost In the
maze of interviewer motif. The bor-
ders number from one to five and
are usually narrow, though they
vary enormously with each carpet,
and each one, for a true picture,
must be described intimately and
individually.
The latch hook-that double
hook which looks like an old-fash-
ioned door fastener-is a distin-
gushing feature of all Caucasian
carpets, and especially of the Sou
max It is an interesting motif, its
origin lost in antiquity. similar to
the Greek key and also like the
swastika. AS there is no shading in
these rugs this open fret-work
forms a broken design where red
meets blue and tends to tone down
each color. At the same time it
softens the harsh lines so usual In
textiles having geometric patterns.
The soft reds and blues OF the old
Soumaks still predominate in the
modern pieces. A full warm yellow
is also typical of these rugs and with
the Indian red, thin green and rich
blue gives a very subtle color effect.

sharp design is useful In a hall,

Must
Be eAcquired
By a Boy
Determination Can
Help Him Danish
Normal Fears
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Every BOY wants 10 De brave. InaC
instinct is born in him. Boys hate
their fears and long with a mighty
longing to conquer them. Fear is the
low-level instinct. It is born early.
It is easy to arouse. It Is hard to
down. It is q necessary force in
life, because 1t calls us to defend
ourselves and those we care about.
But 1t must have an ally Of the
higher order to make its force a
wholesome one. Without courage
fear will destroy the boy.
Now we know that fear is mani
tested a short time after birth.
Courage, which is the will to re-
sist fear, may come soon after
ward, but unless it is made well
come and strongly cultivated, it
will not abide in the same soul
with fear. 1t has to conquer fear,
you see, or be killed by it. All
boys want to know how to con-
quer fear and maintain courage.
It is largely q matter of train
ing. Given sound health any boy
can cultivate courage. Fear is in
sidious. It seeps into the crevices
Of the spirit as water seepS through
sand. A boy wakens and knows he
ought to get up. Fear tells him that
it is cold outside, and he shivers
and gets down farther under the
blankets. This Is trial. II the
boy lets the fear Of the cold over
come him he is one link more un-
der the bondage Of fear. If he calls
up his will and defiies the cold he
is one up on the winning side Of
courage.
This struggle goes on day after
day. In a thousand little ways
fear seeps into the thought, and
courage rises to push 1t out. If
the boy calls on his will and fights
fear loses out, and the oftener
this happens the stronger his cour-
age will be. It takes a long time
though to build up courage to the
degree where 1t becomes the con-
trolling force Of the mind. There
are many ways by which fear can
enter the mind and the boy be
quite unconscious of the struggle
going on. Unless he Is on guard
and ready to fight for courage he
Is likely to be taken unaware and
undone by unrecognized fear.
What makes a boy say yes when
he really wants to say no? Why
does he vote yes when he thinks
no? Why does he laugh when he
wants to scowl, 60 along when he
wants to hang back, behave as the
others behave when he wishes with
all his sleepy head that he could
behave for himself? All because he
is afraid. Courage is the high-level
quality Of the mind. He is stay
ing on the lower level of the mind,
where the easy and obvious way
is set. He would have to stretch
and make himself grow up to that
higher level, but he hasn't what 1t
takes to get there. He is afraid.
It takes courage to stand up and
say, II see it this way" when
the crowd sees it another way. It
takes courage to take oneself by
the back of the neck and march
oneself right up to the bar Of duty
and say Jump" And that's what
a boy must do to place courage
on top Of fear. He must face the
thing that he hates to do and dc
1t. And taking oneself by the back
Of the neck, right up to the bar OF
duty, and saying Jump" Is the
only way 1t is ever done. Every
body is afraid, but only the weak
stay afraid for any length Of time
Jump, boyt Jump.

from the poor lad she loved and sold
to rich old roue.
It is, however, after marriage that
the influence Of the family does
its perfect work. Every young bri-
dal couple gets a shock from which
1t never fully RECEIVERS when 1t
discovers that each Of them Is
bound hand and foot by the in
fiuence of their parents; that John
expects Mary to cook like his mother
and Mary expects John to make as
much money as her father.
According to statistics mothers
in-law break up more homes and
are responsible for more divorces
than drunkenness and infidelity
combined. There are several good
reasons for this. One is jealousy.
Many mothers cannot endure the
thought that their adored sons and
daughters love some one else more
than they do them. And practi-
cally all young husbands and wives
grow green-eyed when their wives
or husbands defer to mothers judg-
ment and quote mothers opinions.
Mother said we should do so-and-
so" are the fighting words In many
a bridal bungalow.
But If there are in-laws who
wreck marriages, there are others
who brace them up and keep them
a going concern. There are mothers
who turn the spotlight on the vir-
tues of their children's mates and
keep John and Mary thinking what
paragons they married. There are
mothers who keep the peace be-
tween their sons and daughters and
their husbands and wives and who,
when Mary and John talk Of di-
vorce, send them back to their duty
and stand by their bargains.
All Of which goes to show q wise
young couple should pick out their
in-laws with great discretion. For
you can't escape from the influence
of Johns people or Mary's folks.
They will make or mar your mar
riage. DOROTHY DIX.

above the waist, wear Q lighter
bodice or jacket.
6. Bear In mind that shiny
surfaces are not slenderizing.
Do you remember the old stocking
ads for dull sheer showing Auntie,
q rotund person, whose ankles
seemed bursting out of shiny stock
ings? Well, the same Is true Of
dresses.
Satins, panne velvets, sequins, and
lanes highlight every curve you
have.
Use them for this purpose.
7. Remember the weight Of
the fabric adds apparent
weight to you.
Tweed suits add pounds to any
figure. That is why angular women
adore them.
Velvet and velveteen and duvetyn
also add pounds.
And long-haired furs do, too, II
used as fabric for entire capes or
coats.
8. Remember, lines-stripes,
pleats, tucks, seams, rows Of
buttons, etc.-accent the direc-
ton in which they travel.
Vertical lines accent height and
minimize width.
Horizontal lines do just the OPP
posite.
8. Plaids and checks accent
both height and width.
Because they are nothing but
lines running both vertically and
horizontally.
10. Remember, clinging or
diaphanous fabrics betray the
figure beneath.
Unless you are as perfectly pro-
portioned as dryad, don't wear
silk or wool jersey.
Chiffon is the undoing Of imper-
feet figures unless it is shirred or
given body in some way.
II. Remember, big, bold
prints make you look larger
and small clearly defined
prints do also.
Large, splashy prints are for
slender persons unless the figures
are so large and so widely spaced
that they have the effect Of trim
ming.
Then if they fit the figure at
strategic spots, they may help to
mask undesirable lines.
But, in general, the reducing prints
are small all-over patterns that give
misty effect and blur the outlines
of the silhouette into fade-away
effects.
IL. Consider the ensemble az
a whole, including the hat.
Use full-length mirror and walk
away from it to get the effect Of the
long shots as we'll as the close ups.
Doing this will give you the proper
perspective so you will never display
slender hips at the expense Of a
| full bust.
And it will teach you q lot about
hair and hats.
Is. Consider the profile and
"the going away view"
DO this anyway, but especially If
you have a dowager's hump or
sway back or what is politely called
embonpoint Dummy to the trade),
or a sedentary hip spread.
IA. Suit your accessories to
your size.
This is only common sense.

dwarfed her hand considerably.

II your shoulders are good, show

If your ankles are pretty, reveal
them with shortish skirts, or in the
evening, with uneven hens.
If you have a tiny waist, f1t 1t
closely with nipped-in waistlines.
If your chest is perfect, fit 1t
with a tight bodice completely un-
adorned.
If your hips are slender, fit them
closely by means Of sheath

what part relatives play in the

about the determining factor in the
success or failure of any marriage,

Nothing is more common than to
hear a boy say: I'm not marrying

her lucky stars that she is not

but. little as they suspect 1t, they
are. Every man and woman who
get married commits bigamy, or
trigamy, or whatever it is, and are
united-until death, or the divorce

There is nothing In the marriage
