MOST LILIES ARE EASILY GROWN Plant Them For Full Season Bloom. Shrub Or Hardy Border Is A Good Situation. Th* Regal Lily The notion that lilies are hard to grow has small basis in fact. Quite the reverse is true in the case of most varieties. There are many which can be set out this fall with almost complete assurance of beautiful blooms next year. The halo of legend which surrounds lilies may account for some of Ute fear in which many gardeners hold them. The fact that the species is hoary with age does not affect its popularity in modern gardens, as they are definitely Th' fashion. Plant in a welldrained location which is shaded from the hottest sun. Shrub or hardy plant borders are excellent situations, and furnish good backgrounds for the lilies’ beauty. Most of the lilies need deep planting. Six inches is about right lor most of them, but the Madonnas need only 2 or 3, and it is a good idea to set the bulb on a cushion of sand. A good balanced commercial plant food is fine, and some va- , raeltes will need additional spring applications. Use 4 pounds of ! plant food for every 100 square | feet of planting area or 1 pint to a bushel of soil. Spade your bed deeply before setting out the bulbs. If you think the ground will be frozen before the bulbs arrive, give the bed a mulch of leaves or straw to keep it from freezing until you can get the bulbs in. Many lilies blossom in midsummer where there is a natural letdown in garden color, and the lilNOTICE TO NON RESIDENTS Idaniß Circuit Court.

CHAPTER XX Force of habit made Helen waken at seven. For the first few days she was startled to see Walter lying beside her, his thick hair tousled, his face half buried in the pillow and one of his arms holding her tightly. He never relaxed his hold upon her even in sleep as if he were afraid she might be snatched away from him. Helen, who had always slept alone, was uncomfortable at first in this cagedin position but she forced herself to lie perfectly still so as not to disturb him. But after a few nights she curled up in his enveloping arm and found therein a peace and contentment such as she had never dreamed of in her life before. Once awake, Helen was unable to fall asleep again but spent the few minutes until he too opened his eyes in luxurious contemplation of the charming room, the discreetly drawn curtains that flut'ered in the open window and the never-ceasing roar of the city. The bedroom was tall and faintly blue in the morning light. Walter’s trousers neatlyfolded over a chair, his long, black shoes standing side by side with her gray kid pumps spoke volumes to her of delightful intimacies. She pressed against him and he awoke.

Watching him dress and shave, his efficient, brisk movements were a source of constant delight to Helen. Os course, hejnsisted on kissing her when his face was lathered w ith shaving soap. They had already timed his dressing so that when he finished shaving she arose and got under the shower. By the time he fastened his collar and adjusted his tic, Helen, fresh and rosy in a blue lace negligee, was ready to join him at breakfast. To cat breakfast leisurely and not on the run! They were both ill at ease when the waiter, with his immaculate white coat and tightfitting trousers, brought in the breakfast table and set it up in the living room. Helen felt curiously wicked and immoral in those moments. But once he bowed himself out they fell to enjoying the luxury of hot rolls and delicious coffee. Helen no longer felt like a courtesan! Now she was the Competent Young Matron, pouring coffee, solicitous about cream and sugar and marmalade.

Breakfast over, Walter lit his first cigarette of the day and opened the newspapers to read the headlines aloud to Helen, who curled up at his feet, her cheek against his knee—only to jump up when the waiter came in again to remove the table. At ten o'clock he tore himself away until twelve, when they met again for lunch. As soon as he had gone Helen slowly and luxuriously began to dress. At eleven she stepped out of the hotel and then she started her queer wandering that was so fascinating to her. It was a combination of shopping and browsing. Helen discovered art galleries and exhibitions. She had no time for matinees nor did she miss them. After lunching with Walter and more shopping—he had to buy her a solitaire and a diamond wrist watch—Helen took a Fifth Avenue bus. Sometimes she went downtown to Washington Square and wandered fascinatedly about unfamiliar, narrow streets swarming with children. At other times Helen went along Riverside Drive. She went to Grant's Tomb and the Museum of the American Indian and Billing’s Castle. She blundered into the Cloisters and spent a breathless morning looking at the statues, (later that day she took Walter there and he was equally overwhelmed). She always got back from her jaunts in time to meet Walter for dinner and to tell him of her adventures. Then they went to the theatre, where they now had orchestra seals and could enjoy themselves without fear. Helen never met anyone she knew on her solitary rambles. She found she didn't miss anyone; would have, in fact, resented anyone's intrusion. To be alone with herself and h«r thoughts of Walter wa. a luxury she had never known and she reveled in it; it wa- a joy second only to being with Waiter.

Sunday. Mre. E. A. Martin. Mrs'. Gail Liechty and Venfe Hook of Ohio City visited Mr. and Mr*. Otho Lobenstien Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. William Nel.on and daughters Dorothy and Violet of Indianapolis spent the week-end with Mrs. Nelson’s parent®; Mr. and Mrs, John Harvey and Mr. and Mrw. George Strickler and family. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Patterson of Scio. Ohio, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hendricks of Connotou. Ohio, were the week-end guest* of Mr. and Mrs. Jim A. Hendricks. Mrs. Roy Price and eon Jerry Kay returned to their home Saturday from the Memorial Hospital at De-

Two weeks to the day after their marriage, Irene phoned Helen. •‘l’m giving a luncheon for you on Wednesday «t the Vanderbilt. At one, if that's agreeable.” It was more a command than an invitation but Helen was too flustered to say anything beyond murmur an acceptance and her thanks. Walter was half pleased, half regretful that their idyll was being shattered by outsiders. ‘‘lrene knows nice people,” he assured her. "You’ll enjoy it and you'll make some friends. Aren't you lonesome wandering about by yourself?” ’’No, I’nt never lonesome, Walter. I don't want anyone. I don’t want any friends. I want only you!” He kissed her. “You’re a queer girl, Helen. I never knew anyone like you before. You’re so ... so different from other girls. But that’s why I love you.” "Me too like that!" They nex-er tired of kissing each other. Her lips drew him as irresistibly as a magnet draws steel. Reluctantly she pulled herself away to face the real problem at hand. “What shall I wear, Walter?" she asked anxiously. "I don’t know. What does anyone wear? An afternoon shift, I’d say. Why not call Irene up and ask her?" “Silly! She'd think I was a moron calling her up to ask her what I ought to wear at her luncheon.’’ She giggled. “Besides she hasn’t seen my new clothes. Do you think the tan suit and the Summer furs would be suitable?” “I should think so. You look wonderful in it. Get yourself some flowers, or I'll get 'em for you. Sweet peas?” “Yes. I think sweet peas will be lovely.” “Okay, I might as well get the .habit of sending flowers. No time like the present. I want to be an attentive husband,” he grinned. "You’re a marvelous husband,” she declared fervently. » « » » Helen started to dress for the luncheon at ten o’clock, as soon, in fact, as Walter left. Although she already had had a shower, she now look a perfumed bath. Except for an occasional memory of that awful night when he took her there, Helen had scarcely thought about Walt’s sisters. She wondered now whether they’d all be at Irene's luncheon. Helen’s heart pounded loudly. The prospect of facing all four of them —possibly five of them if their mother were also there—was not a happy one. She reached the Vanderbilt promptly at one and had to wait twenty minutes until Irene drove up in Anastasia’s limousine with the liveried chauffeur, pressed into service by each of the girls whenever they wanted to make an especial impression. Irene was alone. Helen breathed a sigh of relief only to be again thrown into a state of perturbation by Irene's friends, all of whom gathered in the next five minutes. Irene presented her to Mrs. Tyrrell, Miss Arden, Mrs. Mac Lean and Mrs. Reeves. Then chatting animatedly they went into the dining room, where a special table for six was laid. Helen sat between Irene and Mrs. Tyrrell, and it wasn’t five minutes before Helen perceived lhat her outfit was all wrong.

Irene wore a startling dress of black and white and a small turban hat that half covered one eye. She looked exotic, arresting. Not that Helen could have worn such a costume! The others all wore extreme clothes, drooping earrings, weird, unexpected emo.' combinations that on women lets superbly groomed would have been ridiculous and freakish. Everyone was kind and yet Helen felt that same nameless misery creep over her at Irene’s manner that she felt at the hands of the exquisite salespeople in the swank shops Helen groped for a word to describe it and even when she found ;t—“prfronizing" -there was small eornfut in the achievement. “Yo.ir little sister-in law. Well, volt. .A sweet child! Arc you a Nev York girl? ’ "Sort of—" Helen fluttered. “1 was born in Brooklyn.”

“Brooklyn? Really! Do people actually iiv* and beget children in Brooklyn?” . “How long are you married? another asked. "Two week* today! Oh, lord, how horribly new you must feel! I remember how I felt as a two-weeks’ old bride!” she shuddered. “Do you remember, Ilka?" “Which time?” Ilka queried languidly as she bit gingerly into an olive. “After all, darling, when one's been married as many times as I have, one gets one’s precise emotions at the time rather confused." Helen’s face ached with smiling. For the most part, fortunately, they ignored her. But the conversation was completely over her head. They might have been speaking Chinese for all Helen understood of it and those allusions she did understand shocked her so much that she almost gasped aloud. It was all about a certain Effie Larrabie who, Helen gathered, was simply going to the dogs, my dear, and Rufe (who Helen after some confusion finally identified as the lady’s husband) wouldn’t divorce her. Mrs. Mac Lean ventured the opinion that Effie’s lack of inhibitions was so refreshing. Ilka dwelt on a terrible beating Rufe gave Effie when she got in one night with Larch (whoever that might be!) and the others, it seemed to Helen, were not only thrilled but downright envious! As they rose some two hours later, Helen, except for answering an occasional question, had spoken no word. Irene drove Helen back to her hotel in the car. The sweet peas were wilted and drooping and Helen longed to get up to her room go that she could take them off. How she envied Irene’s sure self-con-fidence. “Thanks so much, Irene,” —even saying her name choked Helen—"l had a lovely time.” “Yes, they're amusing girls.” Irene said brightly. She was in a good humor. Helen's embarrassment seemed grimly to please her. “Dirk’s parents are giving a dinner for you Friday night. Did you hear from them?” “Yes, I told Walter to answer tb« letter.” “Oh, my dear, that's your job. You, as Walter’s wife, must answer and acknowledge all invitations. It’* very charming of my parents-in-law to give a dinner for you before they go away for the Summer. They’re so fond of Walter,” she murmured. “I’ll see you then on Friday.” “Yes. Here’s the hotel. Will you come in?” “No, thanks, I must flv home ano dress for dinner. Good-bye.” “Good-bye, Irene, and thanks again.” Helen stumbled out of the car. Not until she was in her own suite, hidden front everyone, did she sink trembling into a chair. She was in a panic. Oh, what a frost she was! She was tongue-tied, stupid. Everyone else was so smart, so blase. She’d disgrace Walter. And now that dinner at the Terhune’s!

Tears of misery and fright rose to her eyes. If only she could hide away somewhere. She felt so miserable that she undressed and crawled under the covers in their big double bed. She cried softly into the pillow until, weary and exhausted, she fell asleep. When she awoke it was six o’clock and with a bound she was out of bed. Walter would be home in half an hour. He must never know she was a social failure—at least she wouldn’t tell him. He’d find out soon enough from them. But she wouldn’t snivel. She’d say she enjoyed it. “I wax a howling success.” Helen said grimly aloud. "1 was just the life of the party!” Even a visit to Tante Freda Havemayer’s that night, where Walter was treated like a god and Helen only aa something slightly less, couldn’t restore Helen's equanimity. Every time she thought of the dinner Friday night she wai panic-stricken. (To be continued) 4litrlb*jtrt b f tu>( ruturw Srodinit. ins
