And in contemplating porch furniture today the angles of approach to the su are felicitous for the season Chinese Morris Chairs, There are several ideas in the fur niture that you may find interesting because of their novelty. These do not detract from their practical ap- peal, but add an element of distine tion. For instance, a curious name for a chalr is “Chinese Morris chair Just why Morris should he associated with the Chinese style of furniture is clearly apparent, while it is easy understand why Chippendale’s rame should be connected historical Iv with the Chinese influence in fur niture.

He did sit up a little straighter. "It is another of mother's foolish les- cons,” thought he. ‘‘There isn't any danger. 1f there was I would see it. My eyes are just as sharp and just as bright as her: He looked all around up in the blue, hiue sky: there wasn't a sign of any of the Hawk family. Hawks were the only opes to fear from the air.

He just settled back comfortably and halfl closed his eyves to enjoy the warmth of jolly, round bright Mr. Sun. Meanwhile Mother Chipmunk appeared to be terribly up- |set and frightened. She was calling | and acolding from the old stone wall, where she was dancing about excited Iy on a flat stone. Striped Chipmunk heard her, and came over to see what all the fuss was about. At once he joined her, and between them they did make # great racket. They kept alling and calling to Smarty. But Smarty just chuckled inside and sat still. He thought they were making all their fuss just because he hadn't minded, and he wax just obstinate enough. and foolish ‘enough, and naughty enough to make up bix mind that he wouldn't mind. And he was Jnst inexperienced enough not to see that his mother and father were no pretending at all, but really were ver much frightened and very, very anxious. And, all the time, creeping nearer and nearer and nearer was an enemy whom Smarty never had seen before. and whom he didn't see now. { ]t was an enemy that made little Mre, | Chipmunk shiver, for she knew that unless Smarty Chipmunk took to those |little legs of his quickly he was bound to be caught. And Smarty showed no | signs of taking to those little legs of his. He was trying to show how smart he ‘was, and actually closed his eves, lacting just as.if he heard no warning | | whatever.

For @ primrose called Oenothera Lamarkiana was-named for Lamark, a great Frenchman, whose theory of evolution was earlier than Darwin's and about 1900 this plant became the subject of a series of investigations by a Dutchman named De Vries, whose concept of evolution was the third landmark in the series that em- braces the names and theories of ‘amark, Darwin and De Vries. Tamark belleved that evolution takes place by changes forced on ani- | mals and plants by environment; Dar- {win holds to the idea of natural se- lection and the survival of the fittest; vhile De Vries from his observations ‘on the sudden and startling changes that took place in Lamark's evening primrose, believes that the changing tace of nature is due to sudden inter- nal alterations in the plant’s heredity. It is & curious fact that Lamark's evening primrose, which was brought to Holland from America centuries ago, has now abeolutely disappeared from our country, and though sci- entists have searched _diligently to discover the wild type of the plant on which De Vries bases his conclusions, it has never heen found.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: them sick, or dirty, o miss her game. doctor in Answer: The wall of the golf widow has been heard in the land, loudly lamenting her fate, ever since the ancient and honorahle game hecame an obsession with so many men. Now comes the bitter cry of the golf widower {to add to the dirge that roils up around every golf course. The most curlous_ thing about golf Is the way it seems to craze its followers. Homes, husbands. wives, children, duties, all sink into insignificance when compared to the sport of chasing a little white ball over a grassy fleld. ‘Women will tell you that they are married to men who were once loving and attentive husbands, who never see them now from the time the golf season opens until it closes. They used to spend pleasant Sundays and holidays together, but now husband is off with his golf bag every spare minute, and they must sit at home and suck their thumbs or wrestle with the children alone. Husbands should worry. about whether wife is enjoying herself or not. He has forgotten he has a wife and children. ‘He is married to & golf ball. 1t is certainly tit-for-tat that an occasional woman should get the golf bee lin her bonnet and forsake her husband and children for the golf course.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. | | { | The “Bungalow.” In these days of high building costs the bungalow or one-story style of | , house has become very popular. So | | eemmon is it in seashore and subur- ban life that we have come to think of the bungalow as quite an Ameri- can institution. As a matter of fact, however, the bungalow ix an importa- tion from India, where we must go for the origin of its name. “Bungalow" is derived from the Hin- | du “banglo,” which describes a spe. | cles of rural villa of light construction, | | usually, in its native state, of unbaked | bricks with a thatched roof. Bunga- |lows in India, which are the resi- | dences of Europeans, are of all sizes { ;nnd styles, some in the chief cities of India being palatial residences. Their moat popular form. however, consists of but one floor surrounded by a ve- randa, which affords protection from the sun. And it is this style of house !'which ef late years has come into general use in our country, to which the pride of Indian architecture has bequeathed its name. When we speak of a “California bungalow,” the refer- ence being to the predominance of this style of building for homes in the Golden Gate State, we mean really “a | house bullt in the stvle of Bengal, India."

They are of many colors Shades of red, yellow and blue, and they have the happy quality of re n their form and color when dried, if cut with long stems just be. fore opening fully and hung shaded place. “Although the rhodanthe was sup. posed to be double, only a small. pro- portion of the seedlings were double. and my work consisted in making them s0 and filling up the centers. “The flowers varied greatly in color and size, and proved good subjects for selections, but_the plants bore very little seed, and although the experi- ments have produced an improved variety the new type has not become entirely fixed. “One of my collectors in Australia sent me a variety known as the Aus tralian star flower, resembling the rhodanthe, but f its white star-shaped flowers blooming abundantly and excelling all others. “After 1 had grown it for a few vears, it began to show a. tinge of pink here and there, and by selection the size of the blossoms was greatly increased, making it semi-double and improving the color, so that it be- came a clear rosy pink. “These new varieties do not as vet breed wholly true from seed, but they are wonderful improvements in every way on an already beautiful flower. ““These everlastings have unusual keeping quality, and a process has toughened the fibers and given permanence to the colors of the Dblossoms. So when the improved varieties of the Australian star flower became known, I was requested by a French milliner to fill an order for 10,000,000 clusters of these flowers.
