order to have bloom by late

soil with 2 to 3 pounds of a

Early fruit is always the goal

in this effort may be obtained
by protecting the newly set

may be fastened to the cylinder
If not, 3 or 4 stakes driven into

Tomato Varieties

In selecting tomato varieties
for the home garden, and every
sunny garden should have at
least two tomato plants, 1t is
important to chose those vari-
eties most resistant to disease.
Those recommended are: Home
stead "a. Chesapeake, K.C. LAG,
Manalucie. These may not be
the largest fruited varieties but
they are more likely to retain
their foliage and survive the
summer season than many of
the commonly planted varieties.

Mrs. Amanuel found that she
was barely able to hobble into
the museum, her feet were so
cold. But she limped gamely on,
determined to see that famous
smile.
Was it worth itP She was

"Oh, was it!" she exclaimed.
This is the most thrilling day
of my life. Oh, her smile
Everything they said about it
was true!"
Actually, the patience and
long-suffering of the early birds
proved to have been unneees-
sary. They sadly overestimated
Mona Lisa's drawing power.
BY 1890 am. only some
1900 people had come into the
museum, and by IL O'Clock the
incoming crowds were no more
than on any Sunday after

minutes long, and some visitors
were going back through for a

Mona Lisa made her long
awaited, well heralded debut
before the American public this
morning at the National Gal
lery of Art. 1t was a glittering
premiere. Gala, even.
Art lovers turned out by the
hundreds in a wide variety Of
costumes. from off-the-s -shoul-
der furs to over the head
parkas.
Red cheeks, blue lips and
chattering white teeth lent a
patriotic touch of color to the
occasion as the public lined up
in the cold, hours before the 10
am. gallery opening.
The premiere was well covered
by television. Too we'll covered,
as it turned out: Those who
were first in line, waiting at the
Mall entrance to the gallery,
were held up at the opening bell
while the cameramen focused
and some late arriving TV
personalities rushed in to take
their positions.
Opening Delayed
The result was that the
Mall entrance wasn't unlocked
until two or three minutes
after the downstairs entrance
on Constitution avenue-long
enough to allow about 300 per-
sons waiting there to rush up
the stairs and into Mona Lisa's
gallery well ahead of the main
entrance walters.
