Follow Nature’s Idea When Planting Trees Take the roadside in a low and wet landscape, where you want to emphasize and still not hide the beauty of meh a landscape. Nothing is more fitting than the red osier dogwood. You need not be afraid of overdoing the amount of planting in such a sitaatlon; It will always be in scale with the great open country surrounding it and will never dominate the landrcape. There may be other places where an overdose of red osier dogwood would become grotesque and irritating, but not so in the open country. Imagine a sloping hill, covered with roses, or if in a pine country, with Junipers or harebells, or in the South with yuccas. Such a slight might be worth going many miles to see. The top of a bluff may be crowned with oak or maple, and in the pine country with white pine. If there be a rock cliff at a turn, such plants as native grape, bittersweet, red elderberry, yellow honeysuckle, junipers, harebells, blueberries, goat-beard spires, etc., all in accordance with what will grow In that section of the country and make the most beautiful picture, should be planted. There are a great many other plants that will grow in such a situation, and* enhance the barren cliff, as there are many other plants that- will grow on the clay or gravelly bank, than those I have mentioned. The native vegetation is always the correct and sure guide to follow. Avoid stiff formality of planting.—lndianapolis Star.

Home Ownership One of Life’s Big Steps To own your own home seems a normal way of starting family life. The first question that presents itself tn solving this problem is that of expense. The man or woman who h'as ready, idle cash need not worry, but the wage-earner, who can pay only a certain amount down and the rest on the installment basis, should do some careful planning. Building and loan offerings solve the problem for many very satisfactorily. Learning to save consistently is another way of reaching the goal. It Is generally considered good bush ness to wait until we are able to pay , one-fifth in cash for house and lot, then go ahead and borrow for the building. Location is an important point to consider for those in moderate circumstances. Property in a central and improved section may cost a trifle more at the outset but it also is like- t ly to improve in value and be more | salable should occasion arise to dispose of it. In growing cities. It is safe to risk a little In this way on the Investment. *■ ™ - •- ■ Value of Faith in Self If cities of Alabama with all their resources and opportunities for devel- ■ optnent. were completely "sold" to their own people, they would soon feel much greater effects upon their progress and expansion. There is nothing like faith in oneself as an argument to others. Alabama cities have not been fully “sold” to their people as have Miami and-some of the California cities. Many of the long residents of Birmingham, for example, do not even know what the community has in industrial achievements or opportunities. Half the people do not know what is manufactured here and what can be made, as is often demonstrated by new industries established by outsiders. And so with other Alabama cities.— Bffminghatp Age-Herald. Faith in the Home Town In an editorial on “Believing” the Albany (Ala.) HeraM says: “It is believing that what people do counts for more than the natural advantages of a region or a community. It is believing that the contribution of every man is important as all face a common task, and that every one who ‘lays down on the job’ neutralizes in some material measure the results of what others do. “Find * town whose people believe in it—believe that it is destined to grow and prosper—and you can no more keep it down than yon can keep the sunshine from warming the earth." • Health in Cleanliness Buildings with smoke-covered walls are taboo in Berlin. Regular scrubbing of building at monthly intervals Is required by *a new city ordinance. The measure primarily was passed to beautify the eity, but advocates of the law say clean buildings also will be conducive to improved health conditions. Ownership vs Rent Only about 38 per cent of the American people own their homes. The remaining 82 per cent pay money to landlords. Rent money will. In a comparatively few years, pay for the house rented, but the landlord will still own the house.

ENSEMBLE SUITS FOR SPRING; TWO-PIECE DRESSES POPULAR

THE ensemble suit made Its entry last sap. It came, it saw, It conquered, it remained—and now It is triumphing in spring fashions from one ocean to another and developed In no end of ways. The displays include ensembles tn plain, tailored types, in sports models, and formal types, and all ot these are varied to suit the years of their wearers. For younger women printed silks tn figured and striped patterns, made up with plain woolen materials, are used for suits in which the coat is of the wool fabric and the dress of silk. The lining of the coat matches the dress and very often the coat material is used in bandings on the dress. But

sometimes a one-piece dress Is made i by combining the coat material with ; figured or striped silk. The one-piece dress has no monopoly of ensemble suits, for tw’o-piece frocks, with skirt and overblouse like that shown in the picture, do their bit toward lending the mode diversity. In this frock the three-quarter length coat is lined with a printed silk and this same silk makes the smart overblouse, seen at the right of the picture, over a plain skirt. In ensemble suits of printed silks for younger women the new high shades in figured silks make wonderful combinations with plain wool materials, and the model pictured shows the eoat faced back as weft as lined with silk like that in the blouse.

In the. dressier types of the ensemble the frocks may be made of two colors in I crepe de chine or two shades of one color. They are usually decorated with embroidery of silk and fine metallic threads that joins the contrasting colors or shades. “Sing a song of sixpence." while a pocketful of gold is what we would all like to have, now that new spring finery Is on display from one ocean to the other.

parent—never would the (Sixpence pay for so much, so far as good style is concerned, as it will right now. It ill amazing how good-looking the new inexpensive frocks and coats contrive t< be, and it is go<M business to take cart of one’s needs as early as possible, foi It nearly always happens 'That the de signers turn out their best work first It is important to begin with street clothes when an outfit is to be acquired, and to buy as good quality at can be afforded. Street clothes must stand wear and in them we make a first impression on the people we meet in the everyday affair? of life. Tha coat and the tailored hat and dress the walking shoes and street gloves de

serve aft the consideration that can b« given them. Starting out with the coat, the new season has brought in a variety of handsome models for general wear Straight lines and rather light shadet and neutral colors are emphasized ic them, but there is a good representation of the darker browns along with many light brown, beige, tan. dart blue, medium green and wood colors The double-breast front is graceful and a great favorite. Both the setin and modified ragian sleeves are stsed and an absence of trimming is a mark of distinction; for it is ro be 0 kept in mind that fashion sponsors simplicity in utility coats. Some fur appears, but there is a fad for placing it at the bottom of the coat, white collars and cuffs are without it. Ths
