Try a Ranch Vacation This Summer Why not spend your vacation this summer on a Western Ranch? Taie the wife and kiddies along—-you'll all thrive on it. The air is healthful and invigorating—the scenery is great— and there's plenty of both. This Is exactly the kind of an out ing that a man needs, who has been confined to an office—it is a complete change. What could do you more good than to ride over the sun-flooded trails in the hills, row on silvery lakes, fish in shadv brooks, tramp down winding paths among the trees, "loaf" in soft valleys of green, stroll In the moonlight, eat of "the fat of the land" and sleep like a babe? Such a vacation pays tremendous health dividends. There are scores of places out along the Bl° RL.IXOTO.N'—In the Big Horns, the Buffalo Bill country, and the Black Hills, where good, big hearted ranch people have made ar rangements to provide for summer va cationists. Tlie trip itself is one of real pleasure and well worth while. T will be glad to send you a list of ranches, telling you liow reasonable they are and give vou other points in connections with them, .lust drop me a postal and 1 will sug gest a plan that you will like.

If you do not happen to have any of the sorts already named and cannot conveniently obtain them, use whatever is at hand. Vines are used to arrange a trellis at each end, reaching to the top of the window, and across it. A still bet ter plan is to have a rack of light wood, or a square frame covered with wire netting, fastened to the top of the window, and extending outward and downward like an awning, with wires, strings, or some similar sup port, for vines running up to it on each side from the ends of the box at the sill. Such an arrangement not only gives tho window a pretty frame of greenery, but the rack or support at the top. will, when covered with vines, afford pleasant shade for the room, and be one of the most attrac tive features of the entire plan. Last year I saw a window box filled with ordinary garden weeds. Some children had constructed it at the window of a poor hon*>. The seeds seemed to realize the dignity that had been conferred upon them, and that at last they had found an opportunity to show what they could do "with half a chance." And how they flour ished! They were quite as attractive as some cultivated plants are, and the Shower Miss Mary Siple With Prenuptial Gifts Mr. and Mrs. Harry Slple, of 228 South Seventeenth street, gave a mis cellaneous shower for their daughter.

CAB 1) CLUB CLOSES Members of the Friday Evening 500 Club had a pleasant closing session last evening at the home of Mrs. A. T. Hubley, North Third street. Refresh ments were served after cards to six* teen ladies. children evidently enjoyed them. If there are poor people in your neigh borhood, give them plants and seeds from your collections, and encourage them to make use of them, the com ing summer, in a window hox garden. If a child can enjoy a weed under such conditions, he will be delighted with even the commonest flower, and by giving him one you will be doing a kind deed that costs you but little, but which may exert a powerful In fluence on the child's future. Be gen erous with your flowers. Any box that will hold soil will answer for a window box. One of pine, costing ten cents for material, will grow plants just as well as a box of tile costing several dollars. Those who cannot afford to buy a box can almost always find something that will answer all purposes, that can be had for the asking. I would be glad to see plants growing in one window at least of every humble home, because I know how much pleasure and brightness the commonest plant is able to bring into our lives. Be sure to have a window box, and encourage your neighbors lo have one. In a little while, if this were done, every home would have its summer window garden. E. E. Rexford in "Flowers."
