It such a box is raised a trifle on pleces of wood or metal, the sofl will be drained of extra water, keep in better condition and be sweeter. By having the box extra deep more room is allowed for roots. This is especially needed when such varieties of vegetables are planned as carrots or radishes which are root vegetables. As the plants them- selves are plucked when the vege- tables are gathered for the table, there must be a constant replenishing of seeds or of wee plants. These are often sold in stores that feature gar- den seeds and occasionally at green- houses that do not specialize on flow- ers and ornamental plants solely. Important Points. Two things are important in plants for kitchen garden window boxes. They must be the kinds that grow quickly and that do not require deep soll. What would be deep earth in a window box would be shallow in a garden. Most of the varieties do not grow very high. Tomatoes are an exception. It is possible to grow tomatoes in a window box, and we shall include them among vegetables in this discussion, although they are not correctly so classified, but belong to the category of fruits. Some sort of a trellis will be needed for toma- toes. Here is an opportunity to use the ornamental sticks and trellises that are in demand to add decora- tion to flower gardens. Gay birds may seem to flufter and brilliant blossoms flourish among the green leaves, for these are favorite tops for garden sticks. Some Good Plants. Lettuce is apt to thrive well in window boxes. If this is raised from seed, it is well to have some seeds planted in another box and the tiny plants ready to be transplanted as those mature enough to eat have been pulled up. In this way it is possible to have lettuce in_ rotation. Mint, parsley and other herbs can easily be grown in sufficient quantity in a window box to supply the average needs of a family. A little glves zest to dishes or garnishes them attr tively. The mint leaves are fre- quently added to iced tea and lemon- ade. They give an attractive look | to the beverage and a flavor that is different as well as peculiarly re- freshing. Expect Little, Enjoy Much. Do not expect too much from these kitchen garden boxes. They can pro- vide but litte, but what one does get is strictly fresh. They are a satis- faction to women who long to be in the country and potter around in a garden, but are deprived of this pleasure. for such persons plants will thrive, and the care bestowed upon them reaps its reward in delicacies for the table.

I am using the mud from the bottom and, of course, every time I bring mud up I make the water just so much deeper. When I get this landing all finished I can come in here and sit whenever I please, and if danger comes along can dive in and swim away under water. It is going to be a very handy little landing.

Y. < Daughter for Hetself—Middle-Aged Wife Who Is Charmed by a Young Man Grafter. DEAR MISS DIX: I am the mother of six daughters. No sons. Five of my daughters are already married, and I am trying to keep the last one for myself, because it will be so lonely if she marries and leaves me. She says I am selfish, but T don't think so, as T have given up five daughters already. I do not let this girl go to parties, or assoclate with other young people. Dear Miss Dix, will you tell me whether I am selfish or not? ANXIOUS MOTHER. Answer: You are monumentally selfish because you are deliberately sacrificing your daughter to vourself. You are not thinking of her happiness or wellbeing. You are thinking only of your own pleasure, You know well enough that no young girl wants to spend her evenings at home with her mother for her sole company, while all the other young people are at partfes, dancing and skylarking and having a good time. You know well enough that any gir] is more thrilled by the inane chatter of a jellybean vouth than she is by the conversation of her mother, no matter if her mother is as brilliant a talker as Madam de Stael was. Remember your own youth, woman. You were a flapper yourself once upon a time, and if you wMl look back you will not be able to recall that your idea_of a pleasant evening was being a fireside companion to your mother. Well, girls haven't changed any since your day. Youth'is so short. There is such 4 little time in a woman's life that she isn't care-burdened and anxious. There is such a little while that she can laugh and play that it seems to me to be the cruelest thing in the world to deny a girl any innocent pleasure that she can possibly have. And 8o I think that you commit a great crime against your daughter, and one that she will hate you for, when you keep her away from other young people and from having the £ood times that belong to her. You say you don't want your daughter-to marry because you would be lonely if she leaves you. Suppose you do keep her from marrying. &he will be far lonelier then, when you are gone, because, while you have your children and your grandchildren to-love vou, and to make interests in life for you. to care for you if you are sick and In need, she would have nobody. Unless you are rich and have money to leave her, she would not even have a support, or a homeof -her.own, but would be ‘that most forlorn of all creatures, a dependent old maid. You had your own full life of love, of marriage, of husband, of children. Why do you want to deny vour daughter that? Suppose your five daughters are married. If they have good husbands. that 1s a cause for congratulation, not condolence. Marriage is the career in which women are happiest, and it is what every good mother hopes for her daughters. Nor does she, when she gives her daughters to their husbands, call it a sacrifice. My advice' to” you, Anxious Mother, is to rise above your morbid selfishness. Don't sacrifice your ewe lamb. Let her have her normal life; and when she marries don't break up your home and go to live with your children because ‘you are lonely. Il in-your life. with other interests. Keep busy and you won't have time to be lonesome. DOROTHY DIX. . . EAR MISS DIX: I am a married woman 47 years old. My husband is a good provider, but has ceased to love me after our marriage of 30 years I am very much in love with a young man 24 years old, who tells me he loves me dearly,.and that some.day he wants to marry me. This young man often Visits at our house for weeks at a time, for which, of course, e o’ not think of charging him anything, and 1 often loan him small amounts of money. We often ride together in our automobile and he tells me how much he loves me. Do you think he really loves me? MRS. E. B. Answer: My poor, deluded, heart-hungry friend, do try to have enough sense to realize that this young man is nothing but a dead beat, and that he is paying for his board, and his automobile rides, and for the money you lend him by making love to you. Lots of contemptible, cheap young chaps do the same thing. They find a middle-aged woman, whose husband is unsentimental and unfomantic and | Who has forgotten that women never lose their sweet tooth, no matter how old and fat they have got, and they make love to these women and tell them how beautiful and wonderful they are, and how much more fascinating a mature woman is than a callow girl And the poor, foolish woman fs it down without ever stopping to see always sordld. After the jolly comes the touch, and you can estimate the price per word at which your youthful Romeo values his love-making by the amount of money he borrows, and the number of times he uses your car, and the length of time he sponges on you for his living. Don’t_be one of the easy-mark women who fall for this line of love Have the courage to face the fact that no boy of 24 is in love with and when he preténds to be in Jove with a woman old enough 6 be his'mother he is doing so for what he can get out of her So show this youth the doof. Your husband may not be a glib love , but at least he is more of a man and more entitled to your respect than this grafter who abuses his hospitality, who eats his bread and then palavers over his wife and fills her head with foolish ideas.
