All this time the amateur gardener has been casti longing glances over the hedges into the flower garden, and vearning to enter that enchanted land, but on locking over the list of vege tables names were found that could not be ignored. “We have no artichokes in our gar- den, Mr. Burbank, no rhubarb, no onions, no lettuce and no radishes, and above all no berries!” “They not be left out.” said Mr. Burba and we will plant the perennial artichokes and rhubarb at one side the spring cleaning and cultivation will not so much dis- turb them “As plants from the seed of the artichoke vary greatly, after many vears' experiment and by careful se- lection T have succeeded in producing + hybrid artichoke of unusual size and flav It can be successfully grown in northern climates by starting early in April or May.

He strolled in the “comedor” in majesty. He straight- ened up to his full 5 feet and shook hands up under his own chin with the proprietor. He ate his dinner in solemn gran- deur. Every move was a picture and every mouthful was a work of art Dinner fhished, he took his worldly way to the front door, where he re- | clined on his cane in powdered, per- fumed, and polished perfection and ogled the women fer two hours. WITH BURBANK and Fdited by Luther Burbank. “Beginning with blackberries,” he said, “they thrive best in a moist, sandy soil, and it is well to set out | the plants in Autumn. And although | they must be cultivated to keep the | ground moist and cool, the roots must | not be disturbed, as breaking them often causes suckers to grow. The | old fruiting canes are, in most varie. | ties, cut out each year after fruiting, and burned.” In answer to a question about white blackberries, Mr. Burbank explained: “The white biackberry was devel- oped from a wild blackberry growing in” Ne Jersey called Crystal White and which was of a muddy white in color and of no value whatever ex- cept as a freak. By selection and crossing between this blackberry and | the large, black, productive ‘Lawton,’ | a pure white, large, productive bla berry was afterwards produced.” (Copyright, 1925.)

Yet literally the words are “Greek wit!" for *‘Attic” here refers to Athens or Attica Athens in her heydey was the center of ancient civilization and culture. It was there that cotemporary brains recognition; there that beauty flow- ered; there that the torch burned which lighted the ancient world.

Athenian grace is still @ model for our women; Athenian philosophy important grist for the scholar’s mill. “Salt” has long been used figura- tively for piquancy of mind, humor derives from ancient times. It was so used by Cicero when he said: “Scipio omnes sale superabat.” (Scipio sur Therefore it 1is easily comprehensible how philosophic wit, keen humor, should be character- ized as “Attic salt.

Planetary aspects are, during the early part of tomorrow, quite unfa- vorable and reveal a condition that demands a great deal of poise and self- control. It is an unfavorable occa- sion for the making of any agree- ments or contracts or entezing into any obligations of a financial charac- ter. It is also an unfavorable period to engage in any very serious corre- spondence, as things may be written which had better be left unwritten. In the afternoon conditiuns improve somewhat, but not to that extent to warrant much optimism in entertain- ing any business or commercial en- terprise. At such time it is necessary to confine your attention as much a3 possible to routine matters. In the evening the signs denote that there will be a benign atmosphere, indicat: ing happiness and contentment in home and social service. + A child born tomorrow will suffer, as most children do, from some more or less serious ailments during the period of infancy. Its good constitu- tion and its latent strength will en- able it, provided it be given proper care and nutrition, to overcome all these physical weaknesses and attain maturity In good shape. Its disposi- tion will be rather reckless, and it will always de disposed to take a chance. Its character, aithough lov- able, will reveal certain weaknesses which had better be dealt with early in life. It will not show any great in- clination for work along regular lines of plodding and industry. It will want to succeed by short cuts, and will often take a chance where really none exists. This propensity, in or- der to avold disaster, must be over- come, and it must be taught effec- tually that success is only obtained by constant and contiouous effort. If tomorrow is your birthday, you are very strong-minded and have a fearless will and dominating manner. You are born to be a leader, but often prove a poor general, as your judg- ment is not as sound as your will is strong and your vision is not as broad as your nature is dominating. You attach a great deal of importance to externals, and judge others and think others judge you by what you have in the way of possessions. You expect implicit obedience from all those who are under you and do not give them any credit for originality, nor do you allow them any initiative. Not only is this characteristic evident in your outside life, but you try to bring the same powers into use in your home life, and this militates against that peace and harmony which should ex- ist in every home. You cannot, in all justice, expect always fo have your own way and to have your ewn opin- ions acceptedgas the only right and correct onmes. ® Others, just as gifted as you, just as intellectual, ma 1 honesty, have different opinions, and there is no.reason why their wishes should be disregarded and ours always carried out. A little less of selfishness, a litlte more of con- sideration, would make your life much happier, and also render more con- tented lives of those who are de- nding upon You.

Oh, you who would in judgment sit, Be 'sure that you to judge are ut. —Old Mother Nature. ‘Without full knowledge of the facts any one would have sald that Jimmy aud Mrs. Skunk were rulning Farmer Brown's lawn. It did look that way. All over one part of it they had dug little holes three or four inches deep. It was a good tking that Farmer Brown didn’t jump to hasty conclu- sions. It was a good thing that he knew something about the habits of W “HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE JIMMY SKUNK KNOWS WHERE THERE IS A GRUB?” ASKED FARMER BROWN'S BOY. Jimmy Skunk. Otherwise he might have lost his temper and shot Jimmy and Mrs. Skunk. But he did nothing of the kind. Much as he disliked to see his lawn dug up, he wouldn't con- demn those two busy little workers in the moonlight until he knew just what they were doing it for. So the next morning Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown's Boy went out to carefully examine the ground around the little holes where the Skunks had been at work. Almost at once Farmer Brown’s Boy found a broken earthy- looking little sheil and handed it to Farmer Brown. The latter knew what it was at once. “It is the broken case of the pupa of the June Beetle,” said he. “I sus- pected as much. Probably this whole lawn of ours is full of white grubs, which you know in time would turn into June or May Beetles, as they are called. Those white grubs live in the ground three years before coming out as beetles, and they live on the roots of grass. Jimmy and Mrs. Skunk are very fond of them and they have BY THORNTON W. BURGESS been digging them up. They cer- tainly have made a bad-looking place where they have been at work, but in time it would have looked far worse but for them. Those grubs would have killed the grass by cating the roots.” “How do you suppose Jimmy Skunk knows where there is,a grub?” asked Farmer Brown's Boy. “Smells it, I guess,” replied Farmer Brown. “If he doesn't he must hear it at work on the roots. But the grubs that were in those cases were not working, so it looks to me as if he must locate them by smell. Anyway, he finds them and that is all that con- cerns us. I was a bit worried about the-chickens when I found that that Skunk had made a home under the hen house, but I guess that she isn’t going to touch the chickens and I'm glad she is living that near, because it is right handy to this lawn.” Farmer Brown's Boy smiled. *Yet a lot of people think that Jimmy ;‘!kunk is good only for his fur,” said he. “You mean a lot of people don’t think at all,” replied Farmer Brown. “I've kunown for a long time that| Jimmy Skunk is a” useful citizen, but never realized it quite so fully as I do now. Some insect pests man can lly fight, but these white orking underground can't be reached ‘without digging up the sod and turning it over, and then not all the grubs would be found. Jimmy Skunk comes along and does the job neatly and quickly. He does no_un- necessary digging. He and Mrs. Skunk are saving this lawn of ours when it would nave been impossible for us to save it. All we have to do is to go around after them and fill in these little holes and roll the ground. In a short time no one will ever know that any digging has been going on here. Jimmy and Mrs. Skunk are wel- come as neighbors so far as I am con- cerned. But let us hope that they have no misunderstandings with other folk.” “Here is hoping,” chuckled Farmer Brown's Boy.

We are apparently going in for a period of extreme and demure sim- plicity, an inevitable reaction to the elaborate artificiality of several years. These periods take years to come and g0, the changes coming so gradually that only those who are looking out for them notice them at all. But if you watch, you'll see’ for yourself. A year ago there was a hint of the directoire in dress and coats, the merest hint, such as puff sleeves and clinging skirts, and a series of little capes on some ultra smart coats. This Spring the directoire influence is felt more strongly. Now comes a fad for parting the hair in the middle, and brushing it very simply, wearing it straight when it is naturally so, suppressing waves when they are too pronounced. We are going back to a certain simplicity of style; not real simplicity, we may even go that far but it won't be for many years. We are going to an artificial “simplicity, exactly like that of the directoire days, which were simple compared to the period shortly before them. And parted hair is one of the pleasant signs. Parted hair is generally very becom- ing. If you can stand it at all, you will find it malkes the face look much younger. It makes it seem a little jonger too, and more slender—there fore the style of all styles for the chubby, roundfaced woman. 1f the face is already too long or too thin, place the parting slightly PXGE.” BY EDNA KENT FORBES. one side or the other. This is a more mature style, but it gives a chance to hide a high forehead, and to bring more hair out over thin cheeks. You will have to experiment to find which side the parting should be, and in | doing. 50, you will be aston shed at the difference between your right and your left profile.
