Early Sowing For Annuals Is Best Here's A List That Will Provide Early Bloom If Plant Them When Soil Is First Ready. Many hardy annuals, like the i hardy vegetables, should be sown i as soon as tne ground may be prepared for them. The test in 4he flower border fe* the same as in the vegetable plot: Keep oft the soil so long as it is wet enough to make a ball of mud ■when molded in the hand. When the ball crumbles at a slight blow i the soil is ready to work. Here are some annuals that can j go in early: Shirley, Iceland and California poppies; the centaurias. both cornflowers and sweet suit-, ans; annual delphiniums or lark-. spurs, nigelias petunias, snapdragone, nicotinia, phlox Drummonds.■ cosmos, feverfew, calliopsis anti snow-on-the mountain. In a border sufficiently large. I even if well furnished with perennials. ail these annuals may well' find a place. When the Shirley poppies are in bloom there is no flower to challenge them for admiration. Their delicate pastel coloring and exquisite delicacy of texture are unrivaled. They germinate quickly and if sown soon

will blossom in June. Their sear | son is brief, but if successive ■ sowings are made they may be \ enjoyed throughout the summer. California poppies have smaller flowers and are chiefly attractive for their yellows, which combine so effectively with the blue of I ageratum. Iceland poppies are perennials, and so hardy that they ! alone are grown in luxuriant profusion on the grounds of Lake i Louise in the Canadian Rockies, where frosts occur nightly during the summer. They range In color from a yellow to deep orange. The annual delphiniums are valuable wherever good soil cam be provided for them, and give one ;of the most delightful color combinations in lustrous carmine and dark blue They need a richer location than most annuals and will repay well added pla.nt food and care. They blossom until i frost. The centaurea cyanu*. the blue I bachelor's button, which so many men wear in their spring suit I lapels at this season, is one of the ‘ few dependable 'blue flowers for all eewon.

“Sweepstakes on Love" . V/ ’ by May Christie

~ SYNOPSIS Diana Darlington, of a socially prominent, though impoverished, family, loves the eligible young bachelor, Roger Dexter, but what chance had she when the fabulously wealthy Regina Hyde had set her cap for him? Regina always >ot everything she wanted. Although Roger's family enjoyed a social prestige far above Reginas, she made up for it by the lavishness of her parties and her debut was to be the last word in extravagance. Diana goes to Regina’s week-end party just because Roger will be there. At the United Hunts races. Diana is thrilled when Roger whispers she must save him five dances that evening if their horse winsbut their choice loses. Back at the palatial Hyde estate, Phyllis, another guest, has decided that she will do all in her power to help Diana win Roger. CHAPTER HI Rhe went into Diana's bedroom before dinner. There had been rounds of cocktails in the hall, but Diana had not taken any. Diana had seemed quiet and a little distrait She was lying on the bed now, resting. “Wise child! Regina’s eock-eyed already! She’s dragged Roger off for a set of tennis. She’s bet him five hundred dollars she can beat him. I hope she loses,” said Phyllis, seating herself at the bottom of the bed and lighting a cigarette. Diana said nothing, but looked wistful. Phyllis said to herself: “She’s crazy about him!” She couldn’t resist rubbing it in a little, because somehow it seemed to even her own raw deal in life if she could hurt people, even when they happened to be good sorts, like Diana. “I’m rather surprised at Roger with Regina. She’s so obvious. She makes such a play for him. I believe he’s flattered. And since he has so much money himself, it can’t be that he’s after. I believe he likes being commandeered and bossed about.” “Possibly,” said Diana in a small voice. , , She had a headache. The drive home had been unsatisfactory. True, she had come in Roger’s car. But he had not seemed so interested in her as at the commencement of the races. Perhaps because Clarence Thyne and Maude were in the back seat, keeping up a flow of idiotic argument that was distracting. When Roger spoke, it was of Regina. and what acumen Regina showed in everything. Witness her backing ‘‘Hoopla’’ against her father's horse, and winning two thousand dollars! “Yes, Regina’s clever,” Diana had agreed with forced brightness, though somehow her heart was like lead. , , Clarence, the fool, had started kidding Roger about Regina, in his exaggerated English accent. ‘‘Why don’t you give us poor blighters a chance, you jolly old poacher?” Clarence had chirruped. Maude had taken up her theme song, obviously on the principle that what she said about Regina might be repeated to her. Not one of them was a real friend, thought Diana—with the exception, of course, of Roger. All

that they w anted of you was money and entertainment. If you could give them neither, you were nobody. You were out. Roger said nothing of the five dances that Diana was to give him had she won her bet. “Spoken on an impulse. He’s thought better of it,” she thought drearily. Lying on her bed before dinner, with Phyllis sitting there and saying the wrong thing to her, she was doubly sure of it. Let Roger have Regina and tfe done with it. To him that hath shall be given! A party of sixteen was at dinner. Roger sat at Regina’s left. Diana was on the opposite side, away down the table, and partnered by Clarence, of all people. Clarence was half tight. He babbled of jolly old England. Os merry house-parties where only the blue-blooded were gathered. Os pheasant shooting in October. Os following the hounds later in the season. Os midnight adventures that might better be ieft untold, and of which he was the hero and manipulator. “What a devil you’ve been, Clarence!” exclaimed Diana absently, looking involuntarily towards Roger who was her ideal of a real he-man and no nonsense. Regina was talking to him animatedly. Regina looked gorgeous

Ely Finds Politic* Rough Middletown, Conn. —(UP) — Advising young men W enter polities, former Gov. Joseph Ely warned Wesleyan students that "they may be distl'uatoned by the nature of the game" in a talk here. He advised aspirants to political honors to "be prepared to take aomo rough humps"

this evening in a chiffon gown of lipstick red. A ... Diana thought: “And I had to wear white! I look all washed out beside her!” Washed out, and washed up! Well, make the best of the situation. About fifty people arrived from neighboring nouses and from town for the dance that followed dinner. If one were going to make a big splash at one's debut, why not be original and have a preliminary canter or two first, thought Regina. Conventions were out. This was a new era. To the discard with the old-fashioned rules. She had engaged a small colored orchestra for the evening. In a throaty baritone, the leader sang the newest dance-hits.

"Let's forget about everybody pise and talk about ourselves, Diana.

Roger was delightfully attentive. Regina thought it would be wonder- i ful if she could bring him to the point tonight! What a triumph to be engaged to the one man in the ! world even before one had made one’s official debut! What gullible fools people were, I to swallow that tarradiddle about her being only nineteen, when she would be twenty-one at Christmas! Not that she wanted to deceive them, but one couldn't make one’s debut in the twenties without criticism. She would let Roger into the joke after he had given her an engagement ring which would be before or at her debut. It would be fun, and a triumph over the also-rans, to have Dad announce her engagement at the finale of her party. Tonight Roger seemed to have no eyes for anyone but herself. There had been times when she had

thought he fancied Diana. That was over now. He was ail hers. Regina glowed with pride. A fortune that matched her own, plus a handsome young man of good family. He danced with her several times. He said charming things to her. The moon was up. Although it was October, it was a balmy night, like Spring. She would try to get him out into the rose-garden! Tiresome Clarence Thyne, who was entirely tight now, and very obstinate, cut? in on them and insisted on dancing with Regina. She argued with Clarence. She was angry with him. He was only here in the house as her bridgepartner. She had paid him steeply these last weeks for lessons in contract. How dare he? How dare he interrupt what might easily prove to be the most important moment of her life? She turned quickly from him to Roger. But no Roger was beside her. He was gone. “Go and get my partner, you fool!” she said sharply to Clarence. “Go and find Roger Dexter, and apologize to him.” But Roger — although neither knew it —had vanished into the rosegarden with Diana Darlington. Diana looked like a school-girl in her early ’teens as she walked beside Roger in the moonlight. She had been sitting in the conservatory waiting for her partner

who had gone to reten a wrap, she had voiced a wish to go outside, it being beyond her to sit here and watch Roger and Regina with any degree of tranquillity. The moment Clarence had cut in, Roger had come swiftly to Diana. “Let’s out. woman! Out for a breath of air!" Masterfully, he had propelled her through the further door and over the lawns and into the scented labyrinths CA the rose-gar-felt as though she walked on air. It was a divine giddiness. His arm in hers, he was so near. She looked up at him. drank in the tall handsomeness of him in his evening clothes, his clean-cut profile. His eyes met hrrs. He smiled. His teeth were a flash of white in his deeply-sunburned face. He said.

“Do you know you look about fourteen at this minute, Diana?” “A horrid age,” she laughed, “please add at least another four years of common sense!” “Who wants common sense on a night like this?” He drew a k*g breath. “Magnificent, isn’t it?" “Like Spring, Roger.” “And you’re like Spring in that little-girl dress. Jove, I hadn’t any idea—not till it suddenly hit me as I saw you sitting in the conservatory a few minutes ago—that you're so awfully pretty! Now call me a blind fool, will you?” “The moonlight’s blinding you, Roger. You know darned well I'm no beauty!” Then she added, recklessly, because she was so thrillingly happy she simply couldn’t weigh her words: "Regina’s a whole lot betterlooking than I am.” “Now isn’t that just like a woman?” “What is?” She was conscious of a change in his voice. What an idiot she had been to challenge him! “Comparisons, my dear.” He saw her face lall. He was not obtuse. He said: “Let’s forget everybody else, and talk about ourselves, Diana. What night is your coming-out dance to be? What are your plans? I’m booked for Hot Springs for a week of polo the end of this month, and Thanksgiving week I’ve promised to be in South Carolina for duck shooting, so I hope you l- party isn’t going to fall then or thereabouts?” “Mother and I haven’t fixed on a date yet.” said Diana in a very small voice. Would there b« a date? How on earth could they afford it? Had Roger no idea of their situation? Why! the very taxes on the Darlington home on East 68th street had not been paid in the last three years, and the mortgage amounted to at least twenty thousand dollars! This very dress she wore had not been paid for. She had only learned that yesterday when Genevieve's modiste had come round to the house and demanded at least part of her bill. Genevieve was clever at staving such things off, but even with her cleverness there must be a day of reckoning. But in this enchanted moment, put those thoughts behind her! Make headway with Roger!
