Hargreaves, now 80 years old, was the little girl for whom Lewis Carroll created the land of beautiful nonsense seventy years ago.

NEW YORK — When the giant I liner Berengaria nosed into her! berth at New York recently, it 1 brought an 80-year-old Alice into ai new Wonderland. She is Mrs. Alice Hargreaves, widow of Reginald Hargreaves. English country gentleman and scholar, and the original Alice of Lewis Carroll's immortal fantasy,’ who went down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass in-1 to the wonderland of Carroll's creation. But in this now Wonderland she saw no White Rabbit, no Mad Hatter, no* Duchess. Duck and Dodo, who met in the Pool of Tears. Instead she saw a skyline of towering skyscrapers and spires, like giant fingers pointing into I cloudiand; batteries of movie cameras witii sound attachment : that will bring her face and voice to thousands of cinema screens throughout the country, and dozens of reporters, all eager to "get the story” of one of the greatest i stores in history. It is seventy years since Lewis Carroll the shy. imaginative don , of Christ Church College, Oxford, , created ins wonderland of beaut 1- ] ful nonsense to amuse his little 10-year-old friend.

The sisters I ' were content to hear the story . t'rom the lips of its creator, but 1 little Alice, fearful lest she forget ’ any detail of the fantastic journey I through Wonderland, insisted that he "write it in a book for me." Thanks to Alice's childish insistence, the world has been gladdened with the beautiful story and 1 i Hie Wonderland became a play ' ground for children everywhere.

lIffIAT.IS ""TZdBMnT HOME SA. ’ --WTHOUT A KFaWGARDEN? Vegetable Beds and Vegetable Rows

As an ornamental feature, the old-, t fashioned method cf growing vege- < tables, particularly those of smaller ; lower growth which a-e not needed | in great quantities, in beds with , neat paths between them is coming . into vogue again. It is a useful method when the garden is bright- I ened up with flowering plants such i as annuals, alternating beds of flowers and beds of vegetables. , When the bed method of laying out the vegetable garden is employed in combination with occasional beds of flowers, the vegetable patch needs more carefull designing than it it were to be devoted solely to producing food supplies. In the latter case the most practical method by far is to slick to the plan of growing vegetables in straight rows tor ease of cultiv iItion and for the purpose of obtain--1 ing the greatest output from the soil. Vegetables suitable for growing in beds which later in the season may figure in a transformation t orn a vegetable to a flower garden are radishes, lettuce, spinach, and y.cung onions, all early crops. 1 hey I can be removed in plenty of time to make the beds over into flower | beds. The vegetables of larger growth | are best planted In rows. Eggplants land peppeis may be grown in beds i because they have in themselves I jan ornamental character.

I led and frail, but her eyes are as i clear as that day seventy years ago when they gleamed in amazement as she listened to the tale of the Mock Turtle, the Walrus and the Boojutn, told by the dreamy Oxford professor ot mathematics. Mrs. Hargreaves has met and weathered the storms of life. She raised three sons, whom.she wafted to sleep in childhood, telling and retelling the story of the fantastic Wonderland of which she was the heroine. She saw two of her boys march off to the World | War. never to return. Then six i years ago she buried her husband., who had been a dreamer and a scholar, remarkably similar to Lewis Carroll, the friend of her childhood. But troubles have not bowed her spirit. She still sees in the : world a Wonderland of reality, believing that the sting of life's thorns is compensated for by tlie fragrance of its roses. Mrs. Hargreaves is accompanied . by her only surviving son. Captain Caryl Hargreaves, of the Scots Guards, and her sister. Miss Rhoda ■ Liddell. It is Alice's second visit to the United States —she passed i through once before in 1913 after ■ a sojourn in British Columbia.

a handsome border either for flower or vegetable beds. Chives may be used in the same manner, their heads of lavender bloom making them c mamental as a blooming plant. When it is desired to combine

flower and vegetable beds the tall growing vegetables, such as corn, tomatoes trained to stakes, and ■pole beans, should be given a separate portion of the garden. Vegetables grown in rows are the most convenient to handle both from a cultural and harvesting standpoint and either to replace with succession crops. A small garden of beds of vegetables in early sipring may be converted into a flower garden in June. This is becoming a popular practice in gardens of small space which do not afford sufficient room to grow a crop of sweet corn or other vegetables of larger growth. For this purpose annuals such as stocks, asters, marigolds, petunias and other popular favorites may be grown in boxes ready to transplant I into the early vegetables as soon I as vacated.
