Thousands of them have learned how easily they can transform a dress, or blouse, or coat by the quick magic of home tinting or dyeing. Anyone can do this successfully with true, fadeless Diamond Dyes. The “know-how” is in the dyes. They don’t streak or spot like inferior 1 dyes. New, fashionable tints appear like magic right over the out-of-style or faded colors. Only Diamond Dyes produce perfect results. Insist on them and save disappointment.

J COULD I UNDERSTAND | (0 bj D J. Walsh. > MILLY BRAND nibbled toast thoughtfully. She was breakfasting alone that morning because her husband was out of town looking after some one of his many affairs. It came to her that he had not her where he was going. That was odd. But perhaps in his haste he had forgotten. It was lonely without him. For some twentyeight years they had been breakfasting together, dining together, spending their evenings together. For more than twenty-eight years they had loved each other truly, honestly and unselfishly. Now as she recalled the past Milly Brand felt grateful that site had more than she deserved out of life, for she was a very ordinary woman. The one great thing that had characterized her .wifehood was service. Even in the old days before Roger began to make money and they .had lived in two rooms she had always taken pains for his comfort. He called her the Aaron of his endeavor, reminding her that Moses would have failed but for the faithful Aaron who held up Moses’ weary hands. It was just kindness in Roger to say that, though she had done her best —at first with little, latterly with a great deal. For Roger had won rare success. This charming apartment, all their luxuries, their trips, and good clothes and social position had been earned by the workings of his splendid brain. Lie realized that now she did <■ >t measure up to him for she was still only an ordinary ?oman —ordinary in looks, manner and mental equipment. They had no children. She wondered sometimes —hether her twin sons if they had lived would have been fine upstanding men like their father or merely ordinary persons like herself. In their stead Roger had educated two of his nephews and a niece of hers. All three young people were doing well. It was a pleasure to think of that— Anna, the maid, entered softly. Anna had a parcel in her hands. That was all. No mail. Milly had hoped that Roger would send her a line. With a sigh she opened the small parcel. It contained a box of common field flowers, slightly wilted in spite of the care that had been taken to wrap? them. Tucked among them was a card damp that the words which had been scribbled in ink had run together. “I’m down here at the old home,” she read. “If you want to come, too. I’ll stay and wait for you. Here’s to a speedy meeting. . ROGER.” Milly sat staring at the flowers, her lips parted, a look of puzzled wonder in her dark eyes. Hou odd, how incomprehensible! But from her mystification emerged one sact —Roger wanted her to come where he was. An h»ur later she was on her way. As the train swept her away from town into the open country she thought ot the place to which she was going. The old house was Roger's boyhood home. It was the only bit of property he had ever inlier ited, and it was not worth much—a dreary old house, slightly awry, under towering poplars, with a field and a hill and a brook. They had gone down there the first few summers they were married, then their prospects had brightened and they began to go to other places where happy youth congregated. Roger tried unsuccessfully to sell the old home, gave it up and hired somebody in the neighborhood to look after it. In • the stress of life he seemed to have forgotten it—until now. She wondered what had taken him down there. It was sunset when she reached the small wayside station at which she alighted. Roger was waiting for her. “Do you mind walking?” he said. “1 couldn’t find a conveyance. But it i isn’t far cross-lots.” ’ He carried her bag and they walked through the fields by the well-worn path, which was so narrow that she had to follow behind him. The summer smell was In the air, the fields were daisy white, buttercups golden, a bobolink rose out of the grass, a mouse ran away as they approached. The old home, its windows blazing with sunset light, welcomed Milly. It had been left just as they had used It those "first few summers—bits of old furniture were here and there, yellowed prints on the wall, faded draperies. Yet It was clean. Mrs. Peak had attended to the spring housecleaning. And Roger bad built a fire in the fireplace, which he himself had constructed out of field stones. Close, to the fire was drawn a small table and ipon the table was supper—fresh rolls, baked by Mrs. Peak, boiled eggs, butter cookies and a teapot waiting for boiling water from the teakettle, which was singing on the hearth. “It takes me back twenty years,” Tourists Enjoy Visit Favorite excursion resorts of foreign residents of China’s capital are Buddhist temples scattered through the western hills outside Peking. Some are so small and deserted that they are rented out entirely as summer cottages to perspiring city dwellers, who do not mind vacationing in a temple atmosphere. Others are large monasteries crowning mighty hilltops and furnishing shelter for .innumerable monks. These dirty and apathetic in mates seem oddly out of tune with the decaying beauty of sacred walls and courtyards. The larger monasteries, like Christian hospices of medieval Europe, rent vacant rooms to the passing traveler. The latter is expected to furnish his own bed and bedding and, especially if he is a foreigner, to provide his own food. After one look at Chinese cullinary methods tn vogue in a monastery kitchen the visitor from overseas is really anxious to comply with local custom. Thus has grown up a habit among foreigners resident in Peking of taking their own “boy” and cook.
Milly laid. She poured the tea with steady hand, but her heart was troubled. Roger—there was. some change in him. She had seen that the instant her glance fell upon his blessed face. “You like it, then?” Roger said. Ha buttered a bit of roll, but Instead of > eating it laid it upon his plate. Milly looked into his eyes. “Os course, 1 like It. You remember, dear, it was your own idea —not coming here any more.” “Well—we were young and we liked a stir. Those places at the seashore and the mountains we went to furnish us with the amusement we both enjoyed. But now—we are getting on in years, my dear.” “Yes,” Milly waited. She knew with the unfailing premonition of her love that Roger was slowly preparing her for something. “This wouldn’t be so bad if the house were fixed up a bit. It wouldn’t take much time or money—” “I should love to do my bit toward fixing it up, Roger.” He smiled at that. “And then —it wouldn’t be bad Just to live here for a year or two, say.” “It wouldn’t be bad to live here always, Roger. You know how I feel. Anywhere with you is home.” He reached across for her hand. She placed her slender fingers in his broad palm and he squeezed them. His kind gray eyes fcere a little dim. “Suppose—” he said, rather hesitatingly. “suppose —I’d lost money and we had to economize from now on b. living here? You wouldn’t mind, Milly?” So that was it! A crushing load lifted from her heart She had keen - afraid of something so different —that Roger’s health had been undermined by those long years of work and struggle, She laughed. “What is money? We can do with very little. Just let me show you what I can do with a sack of flour 1 1 haven’t forgotten how to make cake and biscuit, let me tell you, Sir Roger !” *At her ' e. light as a happy girl’s, his face brightened. “If you have lost your money 1 hope you won’t make an effort to regain it. Please, Roger, don’t go back to that grind. Let’s stay here and i .1“ 5 vegetables and posies and read and walk and play pinochle and—and get acquainted again. You don't know how hard it has been for me to give you up to your world and live lonely, in mine.” And now tears were in her dark eyes though her lips were still smiling. I He arose, went to the window, looked out, blew his pose an|l came back to put his arm about her shoul- i der. I “The -nth is this, Milly,” he said. •T have lost some money, but not enough to cripple our income seriously. It’s cnly that I am tired. And being tired my thoughts have been playing pretty hard around this old place where I was a boy. I’ve hankered after it until 1 just had to come and see it. And now I’m here—l don’t want to leave. I suppose that’s one of the penalties of age —to yearn after the old scenes. I want to fish in the brook and pick strawberries on the side hill and listen to the crickets in the grass. I— I want to live over my boyhood. That’s it, really. Can you understand, Milly—dearest wife?” Could .he understand? She put her arms about his neck and drew the gray head close to hers, pressed her soft cheek his tired face. In the blessed silence that followed their hearts caught step again. Just One More Bite Richard, age three, was permitted at this meal to partake of the delights found in a roasting ear. So interested was he in this new addition to his otherwise prosaic bill of fare that he preferred to make his entire meal on the vegetable. When his mother thought that he had eaten as much as he should have, she asked for the cob, which she placed on a nearby bread and butter plate. In a few minutes Richard looked intently at the cob and said: “Mother, please let me borrow my corncob again. 1 think I see one more good bite.” Telephone De Luxe A telephone set de luxe, made espe-' j cialL f’ “ Mustapha Kemal Pasha of Turkey, has been built by a telephone company at Stockholm.

THE SVRACUSE JOURNAL
- Wdhwfl 0 SUMMER PRUNING IS SATISFACTORY Little difference has been noted be- , tween winter-pruned and summer- i pruned apple trees on the grounds of the New York state agricultural ex- ! periment station at Geneva where a ‘ comparison of winter and summer ; , pruning has been in progress for sev- i eral years. The station horticulture ! ists advocate pruning apple trees in ! winter, however, when the operation can be more carefully and easily per- j formed. At this season of the year there is no foliage to prevent the orchardist l from seeing at a glance just which branches should be removed. More- j over, as soon as the trees commence i to bear it is always difficult to take out wood which should be eliminated because of the crop of fruit. Baldwin, Boiken, Esopus, Hubbardston, Mclntosh, Spy, and Greening have been pruned both in the summer and in the winter on the station grounds. There are no differences to be noted in the size or shape of the trees, it is said, all being equally good, stocky, stout trees with large heads and typical of their respective varieties. The general shape and size of the tops of both summer and winterpruned trees is the same, and pruning at different periods in the year seems not to have affected the growth, shape, or character of the trees in any respect. / Either practice of pruning will prove satisfactory while the trees are young, but for sake of convenience, fruit growers may well adhere to the usual plan of winter-pruning when the framework of the tree is entirely visible and when other farm operations fcre less pressing. Quite Important Point in Care of New Plants The most important point in the care of the plants upon arrival from I the nursery is to keep the roots from drying out. They should be kept j moist at all times, by all means. The nursery man will pack the order sufficiently well to reach your station in good shape. After that it is up to you. If you live but 100 miles from : the nursery they will be packed for a ; ! 100-mile journey and not a 1,000-mile i trip. Nursery stock should be called for immediately upon its arrival. The shipment should be opened when it is received, and the roots of the plants and the packing well wet down. If planting is to be done immediately, nothing further need be done, unless the roots appear to be considerably dried out, due perhaps to delayed shipment. In that case the roots should be soaked in water for several hours until they look fresh and plump again. If planting is to be delayed, due to bad weather or lack of time, for several days, the plants should be heeled in until the time comes. In heeling in trees, vines and bushes, a trench is dug sufficiently wide and deep enough to receive the roots of the plants. This trench should be located on a well-drained spot where the soil is deep and mellow. The bundles of trees or plants are scattered along the i trench in a slanting position with their i roots in the trench. The roots are next covered with soil, taking care to work it well into all spaces between them. Nursery stock may be kept safe this way until planting time. Cane Blight Is Serious Disease of the Brambles I Cane blight, one of the fungous dis- I eases, is quite widely distributed throughout the bramble fruit sections j and attacks both black and red raspberries, preferring somewhat the blackcap. The purple cane appears to be fairly resistant to this fungus. Cane blight is more serious when we have a warm, wet summer, followed the next year by a wet spring, with a dry period during the ripening season. 1 The fungus winters over on both old and new canes, and it enters the bark "through a wound made either by mechanical injury or by insects. The disease oftentimes starts at the surface of the pruning wound and works downward, killing branches as it advances. The canes first begin to wilt and die. The Infected part of the cane is somewhat lighter in color, and oftentimes on the surface of the lesions small black dots may be observed, surrounded by smoke-colored patches. These are the spores of the fungus and are carried to other healthy plants by means of rain, mist , or insects. So far as known, the fungus gains entrance only through I wounds on the canes; wounds are more or less numerous and there is ample chance for infection. Planting Grapes In planting grapes the holes are best dug with a spade, especially with a small planting. In a large planting a plow may be used. The roots of the grape plants are trimined off when I injured or broken as in the case of the apple. The roots are spread evenly around the hole and the soil firmed thoroughly about them. Grapes are pruned back to two buds at planting time. The planting distances for I grapes are eight feet in the row and ’ rows ten feet apart. Find New Grape A new grape discovered as a chance seedling some years ago in an old strawberry bed in the neighborhood of St? Catharines has been recorded by the Canadian Horticultural council. The vine is a vigorous grower and very productive, producing large sized bunches of compact form, black in color, and with a sufficiently tough skin to make it a good shipper. It. ripens among the early varieties, comIng between Moore’s Early and Wor« den, and is named Patricia
