Lighting Up
Here comes a light to light you to bed, but It's not at nil the ordinary kind.
Instead of tho proverbial flickering glow and dripping tallow, there's a steady
burn, which is turned on by a mere pressure of tho thumb, Instead of tho
scratching of many matches.
You see, it's simply a little electric candle, cunningly devised to havo nil of

Blowing a feather Is an amusing game.
Half of tho guests take one Bide of tho
room, half the other. Let them stand In
rows, about 10 feet apart. Now, have tho
hostess or somo one stand In the centre
of the two rows and blow a feather Into
the nir. A line should bo drawn up tho
centre of tho space betwoen the sides
chalk or a pleco of string may be used.
The object of the game Is to keep tho
foathor from blowing over on one's sldo
of the lino. It must not be touched with
tho hand. It can only tie blown. If tho
feather falls on the other side of the lino
a point Is scored. If It falls within tho
line, the opponents score. Thirteen points
make game. Toy balloons may bo used,
too.
"Scandal" Is another lively game. Let
a player go out of the room. The others
then make remarks about htm. These are
taken down by tho ofllclal scandal-monger.
When the player returns, these remarks
are read out, and the unfortunate victim
tries to guess who said each one.
Bullet and bracelet Is good also. Sus
pend a bracelet from the chandelier by a
string. Give your players small bullets
of tinfoil, such as come around chocolates.
Each player must then throw the bullet
through tho bracelet Five points are al
lowed tho person who succeeds. Forty
rive points make game.

Fruit Salad
A variation of the fruit and nut salad
is the pineapple, nut and celery salad,
served on crisp lettuce and garnished in
dainty fashion.
Use Bllces Df canned pineapple and a
cupful of chopped celery. Stand these In
a cool place until they are thoroughly
chilled, having previously sprinkled them
with lemon Juice. Add one-fourth of a
cupful of blanched and chopped almonds,
or pistachio nuts. English walnuts, as you
see tit, to a cupful or mayonnaise dress
ing. Use, enough dressing to sufficiently cover
the celery and pineapple. Serve on let
tuce leaves and garnish with green or red
maraschino cherries, or pimento strips.
Salt a Beautiiier
Salt acts as an astringent to the skin.
The woman who understands Its proper
uses is never without a simple and de
cidedly efficacious first aid to beauty.
Never use Bait on a dirty skin, for this
will close the pores, and with It all the
dust and grime accumulated during the
day, Sa)t water should be used as an as
tringent, only after the regular cleansing
process has been completed.
The best method of procedure Is to take
a piece of soft cloth or a wash cloth wrung
out of water as hot as you can stand and
use It to remove the cream and Incident
ally the dust from the face. Close the
pores with cold water, to which you have
added a generous pinch of salt.
Her Epitaph
The handful here, that once was Mary's
earth.
Held, while it breathed, so beautiful a
soul.
That, when she died, all recognized her
birth.
And had their sorrow In serene control
Know that her spirit to her body lent
Such sweetness, grace, only goodness
can?
That even, her dust, and this her monu
ment. Have yet a spell to stay one lonely man.
Lonely through life, but looking for the
day
When what is mortal of himself shall
sleep,
When human passion shall have passed
away.

Old Novel to Pass Along

I will say that I have a copy which It
will give mo pleasure to pass on, Tho

Copy. LILLIAN M. B."
Beforo we had your letter a copy of
"Charlotte Temple" was passed over to
the person who had read It a half century
ago. Will you pleaso retain your copy In
case somebody elso may call for It? I
am amazed to learn what hold that poor
llttlo story of a girl's love, betrayal nnd
death must havo taken upon tho popular
heart, not only when the book was pub
lished three-quarters of a century ago.
but down to our day Successive) editions
havo kept tho work In tho minds of mod
ern readers. When wo printed the letter
asking for It we had no Idea that a copy
was extant.
Two Songs Wanted
"I wish to thnnk all coworkers for the
rolls of old linen and other useful and
valued things; especially do I want to
thank the doctor who sent mo tho pho
neldoscope, I havo been kept busy and
have had many calls for clothing, as well
as old linen, in my work. Can any reader
send me tho song, 'We are going down
the river one by one,' nnd 'There's no ono
to welcome me home'? Onco again I
thank one and all for their generosity.
And I have some baby clothing If any
poor young mother wishes It.
"NURSE B."
"Our Nurse B." we call her. Through
many months we have wrought with her
for the cause we carry In our heart of
hearts. She is In the thickest of the strug
gle. We know something of her needs
(vicarious) from what she lets Blip from
her pen in thanking the donors of linen
and other "useful and valued things."
Yet she lays but one little want before
us today, tile one and only thing sho asks
for herself. We must find and let her
have the poeraS she names.
Quilt Pieces to Donate
"Please send me a few more names for
cotton quilt pieces. My husband has a
mattress factory and I can get patches for
one person every four weeks. I nm glad
that I found a place where they will do'
some good. I sent two boxes, I received
a letter from one woman to whom I sent
a box at Christmas time, and a card from
one who got hera last week. So please
let me have addresses. I take much pleas
ure in sending the patches.
"MARIA W."
And we yet more In recording your gen
erous and graciously worded offer. My
only fear Is lest even your liberal soul
may be burdened by the numerous appli

Beautifying the City Back Ynrd
Ab tho back yard In tho city always and
In tho suburban place sometimes Is tho
home ynrd, It should bo in ado a thing of
beauty. In tho country tho modern Idea
Is to use ns much ground as possible for
a lawn to glvo an nspect of spaciousness.
But even If thero Is a "front ynrd," as well
ns n "back yard," thore Is no reason why
a llttlo care and a trifling sum Bhould not
bo expended In making tho latter bloom,
reserving flno specimen plants and trees
for tho front, nnd having beds and bor
ders of constant bloomers for tho former.
The gnrdon for flowers for cutting for
table and other dccoratlvo uses will fit
In nicely In the! buck.
If you havo only dn ordinary city back
yard yo'u can stilt havo n succession ot
boautlful blooms. It Is not necessary to
close In the back yard with a board fence
or a tnll hedge to shut out unslghtllness
from tho neighbors. If nil the residents
In a row tako proper prldo In their back
yards and vie with each other In arrange
ment and variety thero will bo a lloral car
nival. Somo first principles must be considered.
First of all, do not cut up tho yard with
too many beds or plots. If your separa
tion from your next-door neighbor Is by
means of the low Iron rail, you wilt havo
a good exposure and can place your beds
in almost nny location. But remember
the fundamental fact, that tho best back
ground for a flower garden Is that selected
by Nature for Its wild flowers namoly,
grass.
Another thing to guard against in lay
ing out Is following of conventional lines.
If thero Is a groat deal of space, cuto llttlo
plots In rectangular form will be effective,
but only as part of a general and more
elabornto design. If, unfortunntcly, thero
IS a board fence closing in tho yard on
threo sides, this can bo redeemed to meas
urable sightliness by vines. In this case
tho main flower border will havo to be
against tho fenco having tho eastern ex
posure. Do not have tho lnaln border cut oft
from tho grass with a straight line, and
do not hem It In with n narrow boarding.
The border will be far moro attractive
If It sweeps In nnd out In curves or swells
out In one eurvp, at least. It can be
planted to beticr advantage also.
- A long narrow border can bo placed
alqng tho walk. This will give .the only
necessary formal tnijch, nnd tho curve of
tho big border will relieve nny sense of
angularity, particularly If it is, as tho
present discussion assumes, on tho far
side of the largo grass plot found In moBt
city yards. Regularity is all right, but
angularity Is nil wrong.
Do not have a central urn or vase, and
do not have a central bed. Do not havo
too many varieties In a Bmall area, and
avoid a clash of colors.
This gives a general Idea of planning
out the city "back-yard beautiful." Later
will be given Instruction ns to preparing
tho soil, planting harmoniously and se
lecting flowers for bloom, color and email
expense.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
New Sunflowers
Friend John Tlrtrnm Please glve the
name of some tall crowlni plant, with Sonera
if possible, that will ahow conspicuously as a
screen against a board fence about 100 feet
Irpm the house. ALBERT.
You do not say whether you wish annual
perennial plants. If jou wish a changs each
iear you cunnot do amthlns better for bril
liant results than try some of the marvelously
colorful new sunflowera, These are a hybrid
of the old-fashioned sunflower and a wild
variety found In Colorado. The red lullput
grows about six feet, the red and gold runs
aa high as nine feet. The plants are well
branched und have a fairly heavy foliage.
They bear numerous Sower of gorgeous
blends of red. yellow and orange. Cut the
flowers frequently. If you wish to have a
permanent screen plant some of the rudbecklas
or goldenglows. These hava an attractive
foliage and plentiful bloom from the end of
July till frost, when most others are past the
bearing season. They are good for cutting,
too. Hollyhocks would be anotner suggestion.
It la best to plant these each year, though by
cutting down the plant after the blooming
period and enriching the ground constantly
they will come up each year. '
Sowing Fine Seeds
Friend John Bartram How shall I prevent
a veritable jungle of seedlings springing up
when I plant some of the minute seeds?
v i.
In planting fine aeeds such aa those of the
poppy and petunia. It Is the beat plan to mix
a pinch ot the seeds with half a teaspoonful
'of sand and shake the mltture well. It can
then be distributed gently In the row or drill
and lightly covered with a pinch of nne soil,
More Foliage on Rose Bushes
Friend John Bartram I get some nice
blooms on my roae bushes, but the foliage It
by no means full and pretty. What Is the
cause and the remedy?
CAROLINE: TESTOUT.
The cause and the remedy are pretty closely
allied and If you remove the former you will
secure the latter. Vou do not give any par
ticulars aa to the location of your rosebed,
but It Is obvious that your bushes are hem
med In on two or three sides by walls, fences
or hedges. Itose bushes should have abundant
light and good circulation of air throughout
the entire day. Protection by a hedge, fence
or house Wall on one side, particularly the
west or north. Is desirable, but beyond this
jou will lose In ventilation when It Is needed
more than you gain In protection from winter
killing. Give jour plants lots of sun, light and

Seeding Lawn
Friend John Bartram Tell 'me an approxi
mate date to reseed portlonavOf my lawn. . Also
Is It too early to put fertilizer on It andnwhat
should tuse?' - i , . Q. 1C. I.,. -
If you are merely desirous of covering hare
catcher on n lawrv already rnailo, lt,nlll be
ull right to scatter seed almost any time now.
Urass seed Is hardy and the April. vhowera
will promoto germination nnd. afford moisture
needed for early growth. It's against the rule
to recommend brands, but consult our adver
tising columns for names of reliable dealers.
They all have mixtures suitable for specified
soils, situations and purposes. Warning: Do
not buy u too cheap brand! If you aro mak
ing an entirely new lawn It will be wise to
wait till all the frost Is out of the ground
and a few bright days have dried tho Roll so
It can be worked well. It should be spaded
and raked fine, with a liberal sprinkling of
bone meal, ground sheep manure or very fine
stable manure Incorporated thoroughly. Sow
the seed with a generous hand and as uni
form as possible, then roll, which serves the
double purpose of smoothing the surface and
pressing tho seed Into close contact with the
soil. Insuring successful germination. Of
course, the lawn must have been graded, aa
preparation for this work. It is a good time
right now to sprinkle finely pulverized stable
manure, or ground bone, qloou or sheep
manure on the lawn. There will be no danger
of burning the grass so early. The nutrients
In these fertilizers will seep fnlo the aoll.Wlth
the spring rains, and In soluble form provide
generously for the root systems below ground.
Novel Desk Set
If your bedroom is cretonne-hung, a
desk set to harmonize Is a pretty conceit,
The articles should be neatly made and
the cretonne of pleasing design. For the
pad, cut out a square of cardboard the
size of your desk, or the size you want it.
The back of this must be carefully covered
with the cretonne, pasted on, and the cor
ners turned over on the other side of the
cardboard. Small dabs of the paste ought
to be BUfllcient.
Now put a place of blotting paper In any
color that looks well with the cretonne on
the reverse side of the pad. Paste down
the corners and place under weights. Cut
triangular pieces of cardboard the size ot
the corners of the pad, cover them with
cretonne and paste them on.
A small blotter Is a simple thing to
make. Cover a piece ot cardboard tha
Blze of your little blotters with cretonne,
paste on the blotters and tie together.
