PRETTY BACK YARDS. Dwellers In Need Not lie W itli o 111 an Attractive Spot lle»eiu biinK ■> Ileal tiartlen. Even if a country garden is denied us. it is possible to obtain much pleas ure with what we possess, and it is surprising that the back yards of eity houses are the forlorn, neglected places that they generally are, at best being only a square grass plot utilized for dnying clothes, and a narrow border planted with a few straggling perennials. If there are children in the family sometimes abortive attempts are made at a flow er bed. As the majority of people who own town houses seldom leave the city before the middle of June, returning by the middle of Septem ber. and as the head and bread-winner of the family practically stays all fummer in town, it is a wonder that these back yards are not generally made beautiful by a little care and attention, especially as the dining room windows are aj>t to overlook the inclosure. Not infrequently there is either a small por.ch or balcony, where it would be pleasant to sit if the outlook were attractive. Where two houses of the same cali ber back up against each other in adjacent streets, the space left open is an elongated square 25 feet wide. This might, if properly utilized, con tain much beauty and sweetness. If he clothes posts are a necessity they :ould (despite the laundress' prob able objection) be arranged so as to leave the center space free. If there is an even brick wall the task of ren dering it beautiful is an easy one. Generally, however, ugly board walls rm the boundaries, but it is pos le to get over this difficulty with aid of the wire netting which is sed for chicken yards and which jould be quickly covered with vines— annuals, and what is more satisfac- ARBO* 6 / \ •| J # ftOwMSj I | AN ATTRACTIVE: BACK YARD. ory. perennials, which are of slower rowth, but which could be planted it the same time.

This also *ould be constructed of the wire net np, if supported by a wooden frame, 1 should have a small table in the iter, surrounded by a wooden nch. A pretty and effective group * for either side of the summer >use would be sunflowers, holly jete, lilacs and, as th" autumn nd spring should chiefly be consid recl, chrysanthemums and the bril intly flowering shrubs that bloom in e early spring. It is possible to en ' the lovely procession of bulbs in a wn-yard garden. The crocuses, hya nths. daffodils and tulips all come to aturity before the exodus to the •untry begins, while in the autumn fyie garden will be gay in geraniums nd later summer flowers until frost.
