The time is fast drawing near when we tan move out to put outdoor living room* again. But how s the carpet going to look? A lot depends on the early spring tare you give your lawn. Here is a good program to follow: 1. Raking: Just as early in the spring as you tan walk on the lawn without leaving deep footI'l'iuts (preferably before the j grass has started to grow) rake off any debris which may have accumulated during winter, so »t wilt -not interfere with growth of g rass. i. Applying Plant Food: As ' soon as raking is completed, apply a complete balanced plant food at the rate of about 4 His. (2 (plans) per 100 square feet. It this wii lie applied before the grass has slarted to grow, the plant food need not be watered iu. If, however, growth of grass has started, application of plant foods

| should be made only when the grass is dry. and the plantfood should be brushed from the blades of grass with a broom, doormat, or something similar, and the lawn should be watered thoroughly, so as to carry the plant food down into the soil where the roots can get it. Apply by hand, or With a \ spreader. Grass with its dense growth, is a heavy feeder and needs an abundance of plant food. This food should be in all available f6rm, and should contain all of the elements so essential to vigor- ' ous plant growth. Buy a good i romplete plant food made by a reliable concern. 3. Rolling: As soon as the lawn Utrf is reasonably dry in the spring, roil it to eliminate any air pockets which may have developed during winter through alternate freezing and thawing. This operation brings tlie grass roots again

Into firm contact with the noil «o that growth can go on. Clay soils require leas rolling with a lighter weight roller than used for ordinary soil«. 4, KcHHcuing the Lawn: Reseed thin sputa in the lawn with a good grAde of grass act'd, using 8 to 6 Ihw. per 1.000 square feet. The soil 111 hare spots should he pulveil and with n steel toothed rake, then Heeded, using about twice is much seed as la used on thin turf. Afier seeding cover lightly with top soil to protect seed and give It a chance to germinate. 6. Mowing the Lawn; Do not allow the grass to grow taller than 3 inches, and do not clip shorter than 1)4 Inches. If clipped shorter than 1)4 inches damage inay result during dry and hot weather. 6. Watering the Lawn: Do not sprinkle the lawn. When it Is necessary to water, thoroughly soak the ground, letting the sprinklers run until the water has soaked to u depth of 4 or 5 inches. Then do not water again until the soil gets pretty dry. In hot summer weather, two such soakings a week wiil generally be sufficient. The people who get out oil the lawn every evening or morning and give it a light sprinkling are doing more harm than goal. By wetting only the top inch or so of eoll the encourage grass to send its roots to the surface and then the grass cunhot stand either hot summer weather or cold winter temperatures.

SYNOPSIS In search of adventure, Mar Talbot sails on the S. S. "Orient for Honolulu. On bosrd, he meet besutiful Vanya Prokovna, proses sional dancer. Vanya ignores Marl bnt he cannot forget her. In Hon olulu, on a round of the nigh clubs, hs searches for her in vair Next morning, while standing on wharf, he watches a boat steamini by and is stunned to see Vanya oi deck. He learns the vessel be longs to Pearly Shene and is un doubtedly heading south so Tonga in “The Friendly Islands.' Anxious to get away from Hono lulu, Mark books passage on thi "Colin” sailing west. Mark can not resist inquiring about Vanya’! destination. He learns that “Thi Friendly Isles” were once canni bal islands now inhabited with thi scum of the South Seas... a disreputable place for any girl. All night Mark is haunted by Vanya’s image. Despite his resolve to forget Vanya, Mark finally arrives ir Tonga. He feels that if he car find Vanya and learn more about her, he will be disappointed and the obsession will vanish. Vanya is not at Tonga so Mark heads for Tongatabu where Pearly Shene lives. Mark is content and strangely happy. Percy Loring—beachcomber, war derelict, and member of a prominent English family—informs Mark that Vanya dances at the Diver’s Helmet, owned and run by Pearly Shene; but she is away at the present time. Mark buys Loring a drink. CHAPTER XI ‘‘By the way,” Mark continued in a lowered tone, "what did you mean by saying she might have gone back country?” "She does occasionally,” said the beachcomber. "She’s friendly with the black folk; why, I don’t know. Maybe .because everyone needs friends/' • "Isn’t she liked?” “Oh, she’s liked well enough. It takes two to make a friendship.” “I sec,” said Mark. "Still soured on the world.” "Exactly ... or afraid of it.” "Strange Shene keeps her on, if she’s cool to the customers.” “That’s the queer part of it. The customers like it; it’s a novelty. She plays no favorites; and Shene’s got the other girls for customers in need of friendship." “Never plays favorites, eh?” "Well,” Loring shrugged, “I never yet heard of a woman in the South Seas that they didn’t tell tales about Some say it’s Shene himself.” Loring finished his drink. “Another?" Mark offered. “With alacrity!” the beachcomber exclaimed. “I’ll cadge ’em as long as you’ll buy ’em!” “I wonder.” said Mark over his second glass, “why she’s interested in the natives. The Tongans were formerly cannibals, weren’t they?” “Were! H exclaimed Loring. “Say, there’s long pig eaten today back in the Tongatabu hills! It’s a religious ritual!” “Lord!” exclaimed Mark, shocked out of his casual attitude. “That’s a swell place for her to be!” “Not so dangerous as all that,” said Loring. “Ir. the first place she’s friendly with ’em. In the second place, white man’s meat is too salty for native taste; they’ll take black every time. Not that whites haven’t been served up, but as a general rule they'd rather just sacrifice the poor to their Hunger-God. And all this popular idea about a big pot is pure fairy tale; they always roast ’em.” Mark thought of Captain Rawlinson and his story on the Colin, and chuckled. “I’d like to see a bit of that,” he said. “There’s a celebration on now,” Loring said. “Notice how the Cove is deserted? The town natives are back in the hills with their tribe, except the couple of mission boys around the Helmet.” “I’d like to see that!” Mark repeated. “It’s no place for a stranger.” “So much the better.” “Well,” said Loring. “If you’re fool enough to want to go, I’m fool enough to take you up—for a consideration.”

You can take it or not.” “Why not?” said Mark. “It’s none of nty business what you choose to do. But I think you’re crazy.” “Undoubtedly,” agreed Loring. “That’s why I offered to lead you into the hills tomorrow night. And that implies that you’re crazy too, you know.” Mark laughed. “You win,” he said. “Choose your botyle.” They walked over to the bar, where Loring demanded a poison-ous-looking bottle of trade-rum. “It serves the purpose,” he told Mark, “and it's somewhat easier on your purse. You see, you’ve been agreeable enough to earn mv gratitude, and I’m looking out for your best interests.” Hong glared evilly at Loring as he passed over the bottle, but accepted Mark’s proffered pay without comment. Loring re-seated himself at the table, and deliberately uncorked the container, pouring himself a stiff drink of the villainous amber liquid. “I always drink from a glass at | “J® beginning,” he remarked. That s while I still remember I’m a gentleman. And that is one of the things I shall endeavour to forget as expeditiously as possible.” “ i He gulped the liquid without a I trefnor, while Mark stood staring ! at him with an expression of doubt.

he turned it higher, and sat down on the edge of his bed. Apparently he was alone on the second floor; the doors of the seven or eight rooms had all been open and dark. With the cessation of Loring’s distraction, the thought of Vanya returned, but he felt none of the elation that had sustained him during the early part of the day. He had found her, indeed; yet he xvas somehow disappointed in the circumstances of his success. Despite the unpleasant picture he had deliberately buiit of her, he realized that he had been hoping to prove himself wrong. Yet here she was. a dancer in the worst of South Sea dives, and, apparently, just what such a person was generally supposed to be. What of the cure he had promised himself. Hadn’t he hoped for just this—an opportunity to disgust himself with her? Well, here he had that opportunity; here was his chance to see her at her worst; why wasnt he pleased?
