in the season. A formal design is suited to such a garden, near a house. It harmonizes with the building and lot lines and the flowers can be arranged in a pleasing balance of both mass and color without any touch

' could never win a war. So let's get|

of stiffness. The simpler a formal pattern of flower beds can be made, the more surely it will please. It is a serious mistake, often made by beginners, to attempt a somewhat novel or intricate pattern of beds and paths. When this is done, the attention of garden visitors is claimed by the pattern, which is likely to be curious rather than beautiful. The flowers are retired to second place, and the whole effect suffers. A simple plan, in good proportion, which can be immediately comprehended, centers interest upon the beauty of the flowers, which is the purpose to be sought.

s » ” THE PLAN above suggests such a garden, which has an axis centering on the porch of the house, with

a tree as a terminal feature. Such an axis is important in a formal

‘|garden; it should center on a porch,

a door or window, and at its other end there should be something to take the eye, if not a tree, then a birdbath, an arbor, or some other feature. On either side of this axis there should be a general balance of both mass and color, which is most easily provided by duplicating the plantings on each side as the plan suggests, Of the flowers recommended in the plan, alyssum and nicotiana are fragrant, and will provide an extra attraction for evening visitors, when the fragrance is most intense. ‘There are many other flowers which can be grown in such a garden, and various color schemes which could be developed.

action. You have too few friends. You should play around with other young married couples so that your husband would not be thrown back on “the boys” for companionship. After four years you've run out of conversation and know each other too well. You need more diversion, but you should take it together. Your mutual interests are too few. This does not mean that love is dead between you. It simply means that your marriage temporarily has grown stale. Very few men are interested in the trivia that women talk about. A husband can’t find it in his nature to be like a girl friend to his wife. You need women friends, preferably married wome en whose husbands are congenial with your husband. ‘If you share more pleasures you’ll have more to talk about when you are alone together. I believe you are too shy and too absorbed in your home. There is no reason why you shouldn’t entertain your husband’s friends now and then. Plenty of girls love being the only woman in a group of men. It cuts down the competition and gives them a chance to try out their charms. Men aren’t bored with a woman who knows how to entertain them and make them feel at home. What you need to do is to attract more people. JANE JORDAN.

CHICAGO, May 5 (U.

Pouch, Irsaujen general of the national society, said the D. A. R. was “a great ofganization of patriotic women eager to help, ready and willing to sacrifice.
