ofe. - .1 HMMHMMM may seem, clouds also contain a certain amount of green and orange rays. So, if we use a film which is not very sensitive to the orange and green rays, (the chrome type) the contrast between clouds and sky will be emphasized. A yellow filter also makes grass and the leaves of trees photograph lighter instead of appearing black. It also performs another valuable function. It gives sharper detail to distant objects by cutting through haze, which has an excess of blue light. Also in taking pictures of flowers, or of indoor furnishings, a fiber enables us to achieve correct tone contrasts. There are five yellow filters suitable for amateur use, each performing somewhat differently. Among them the K-2, w-hich is a medium yellow, gives the best general color correction with the ordinary and the chrome type of film, and practically full correction with the panatomic and panchromatic fi’m. Exposure with a filter must be Increased. depending on the density of the color. Instructions furnished with each filter tell just how to use it. If you have never tried a filter, put a K-1 or K-2 over your lens some sunny day when there are tumbling white clouds over the horizon. You will be surprised at the difference it makes.

To help out, Jean has been dictating answers to fan letters on the set, and has been standing in for herself while Bobby types them. A customer writes in: '"Jia other day, I saw an automobile draw up to the curb and imagine my surprise when Kay Francis and a colored woman jumped out, ran around some garbage cans and began to knock on a tree with their fists. Can you tell me what on earth was the meaning of this ?” Answer: I can. The colored woman was Kay’s maid and the star had been complaining about her infected wisdom teeth and all the things that had been happening to her. She said: “I suppose the next thing is that the gown I’m wearing in ‘Mistress of Fashion’ will catch fire.” Kay, who is superstitious, then called for the car to be stopped and she and the maid rushed to knock on the nearest wood.

We awaken to many new ideas I in midsummer, when our gardens are in full growth, and there is precious liittle we can do to change them this season. It is a fine time to reflect on our mistakes, and make better plans for the season to come, especially the fall plantting of bulbs which is not so many weeks away. Very often we find we have tried to cover the whole field of gardening and have perennials, annuals, bulbe, pools, and rock gardens, all crowded into a small area, like bric-a-brac in a Victorian parlor. It is certainly better to grow a few things well than to grow many with indifferent success; so the experienced gardener will finally tend to simplify and perhaps to specialize in the planta which he especially likes or those which like his garden and prove it by growing vigorously there. The small home garden has two , functions; to provide a decoration for the house and grounds and a place for the owner to grow plants. To grow planta is recreational activity which can hardly be surpassed as an avocation for adults. It provides the best sort of exercise in the open air. together with | restful mental interest and pleas-; ant social contacts. Some of the ; most interesting gardens consist | of well-cultivated rows of plants ' in a backyard, where the owner • grows fine delphiniums or dahlias without any attempt at arrangement in a decorative planting or garden picture. In gardens like this the beet plants are usually grown and flowers of exhibition quality are care-

Os course in the ornamental garden there must be something to see throghout the year. The beauty of the picture must be constantly maintained. But this beauty is likely to be enhanced by simplifying and abandoning features which are not successful.
