A Country Garden

By Mrs. Gordon Macmillan

Regs! Lilies are fragrant and lovely up in the shady part of the rose garden. Several years ago I had hundreds of them growing from small bulbs, bought from a gardener who had grown them from seed, but now all that are left are in the dozens. I do not know whether to blame the bun- nies who come out of the wood and wander around the garden or my poor gardening, but I am enioylng the lilies 1 have and have memories of a grand display by this garden- er who grew them from seed. He had planted Schlzanthus with them and it was a happy choice as the Butterfly flower in pinkish color toned in beautifully with the solid heavy lilies.

One glorious morning I had ta- ken colored photographs of the“ lilies and now have them in my collection, The Madonna Lily needs to be planted in the Fall and it sends up a tuft of green leaves at once. I have had good success with them llht they are supposed to be difficult. In the catalog they are listed as Lilium Caudl- dum.

I have had the Apricot Lilium I-Icnryi for many yours. It is a vigorous grower reaching six feet with good culture. It blooms in August and September and in- creases rapidly by bulbiets. I have grown the gold-banded Auratum and Speclosum Lilies, but have not any" at the present time. There are many very lovely lilies, new Hybrids, and any one with 501116 time could have a beautiful garden of them.

O O O

Perennial Phlox is coming into bloom and all ihi-‘ough August should make the garden fragrant and colorful. It has a long season of bloom, and is one'of the finest perennials as you may divide it after a few years and have many plants for your garden.

With good culture it is an easy perennial but it is subject to mil- dew and rust if overcrowded.

The new var eties are far su- perior to the old, except for the old Miss Lingard the earliest of all with beautiful shiny green foliage and blooming from July on with large heads of white bloom. The Salmon Pink Rhinelander is another good old variety with strong stems and large flower head.

Caroline Vandenberg is the most attractive of the ‘mauve shades.

There are many with contrasting eyes. Sweetheart, with lilac.eye. in a salmon pink bloom is one of the best. - If you order a collection of late and early varieties you can have Phlox in bloom for several weeks. The longest blooming season of any hardy perennial and the fragrance is the best part of Phlox.

Zinnlas have been transplanted from the field to the -i>erenn1=l borders. They are now blooming from early sown seed and because of the moisture in the soil were transplanted easily. This has been a wonde ful season for gardens. lovely showers of rain whenever needed, hard on the hnymiikers but grand for the Burdens. I have only found it necessary to water parts of the garden in the intense heat of several weeks ago. This means a great deal to the billy gardener with a large 88111511- Truly we live in a favored climate. Many visitors come to the garden and they tell me they read there garden notes. I am really "on the spot" but so far have been able to show them all the plants I have written about. A dear old lady of ninety-three who said, “There must be a lot of work to this", and a woman who sat in her own chair which she takes in her car, and although not able to see all of the garden enjoyed the afternoon. Yesterday I sat in one of my Bar- den chairs and it collapsed as I feared some oi! them would. I was glad that it was I who sat in that particular chair as the Governor's Lady sat in the other.

i Feminine Adulation Chief Contributing Factor

ceited? _ ‘ SADIE

ANSWER: Well. my dear. it is partly a matter of sex. Every male creature is born with the settled belief that merely because he belongs to the masculine persuasion he is vastly superior to everything feminine. It is a complex and boys have it in its most virulent form.

Mainly, however, the reason that boys are conceited is because you girls make them so by ministering to their vanity. You put them on a pedestal and kowtow before them and treat them as if they were_llttie tin gods. Hence it is not surprising that boys think more highly of themselves than they should.

A boy may be loutlsh. I-le may he ignorant and rude and offensive in his manners. I-Ie may be dull ' and stupid. I-la may get beastly drunk. But even so. with all his faults illicit upon him, girls are flattered to death to receive attentions from him.

Then look at the way girls run after boys. They don't wait for the boys to come to see them. They chase them down. They don't wait for the boys to make the dates. They hound boys over the telephone to come to see them, or to take them to places, and they are lo grateful to a boy who will go out with them that they will buy the tickets to places of amusement, or get up the party and pay for it, and go and fetch the boys in their automobiles.

And \vhy shouldn't boys be all puffed ‘up over their own importance when girls will stand for the "keeping company" custom. which gives him every advantage and shows that the girl ls so anxious for dates that she will enter into an unequal bargain? For “keeping company” binds the man to nothing. It leaves him free to quit whenever he pleases with no harm done to him, but it shuts a girl off from all chances of making a good match during her most attractive years.

If girls had any spunk and independence, they would demand that boys come up to a certain standard before they would have anything to do with them. That would jar a lot of egotlsm out of their systems, and if you girls would refuse to run after boys, you would have them hot-footing it after you, for you are just as necessa y to the boys’ good times as they are to yours.

. DOROTHY DIX

DEAR MISS DIX: At 17 I married a man ten years older than my- self. He is a good man and treats me kindly, but I have come to loathe him. His very touch makes me shiver. We haven't an idea or thought in common. We quarrel constantly. I have one child. Must I go on this ivay to the end of my life? Why can't I take my child and go away and make a new beginning? Would not having my boy half the time be better than this fighting for him? What of his memories of his childhood in such a home? I suppose you will say stay for the sake of the child. It is all such a mess. C

ANSWER: Nearly every girl who marries at 17 has lost her taste for her husband by the time she is 25 and resents being tied down by husband and home and children and having missed all the fun of girl- hood.

But there is no real remedy for such a mistake . So far as leaving your husband is concerned. that is a step that nine women out of ten regret after they have made it.

You have never tried making your living. You are trained to no traiie or profession and if you take your child and go away from your husband and home you could not get any but the most menial job, and what little you could earn would not go far toward supporting the two of you. Food and clothes and shelter may not seem much to you now when you are letting your mind dwell upon your sentimental grievances. but if you had no roof to cover you and were hungry you would -‘ why you ever bothered about such a little thing as whether your hus- band understood you or not. _ -

No one now advocates a quarreling wife and husband staying to- gether for the sake of the children. Unless they are willing to sink their differences and control their tongues and-tempers and make a peaceful and quiet home for their children, it is far better for them to part.

Psychologists tell us that the children who are brought up in homes where the parents squabble all the time carry the ill effects of their en- vironment through life. They are mentally and spiritually warped and are far more subject to nervous breakdowns than are the children who have fathers and mothers who live amlably and peacefully together and who are brought up in a harmonious home.

It seems to be that any woman who lovea her children should be willing to forego making snappy meback at her husband for the sake of their Whole future welfare.

Wo mode niolaaooa cookies this morning, tangy with ginger and cinnamon, so tasteful for "plecir" wlth.a glass of milk. or u our small one: prefer them on occas- ion with "pop". Grand-daughter was at an elbow. Jarnio would have been in the vicinity too, but ho had not then arrived. She loves to be present at a spell of baking, and is

tater though there are the times when she begs to sample the lcinga or the more beguilding mixtures. The recipe we used was a new one‘ to us, and made more interesting for grand-daughter because we used the yellow measuring cups, helpful souvenirs of our visit to the States last year. "Spiced Gin- ger Cookies" these are called, and if a vanishing store can be taken as an indication of excellence then these are certainly tasteful. O O

In a mixing bowl that has seen much service, and has yielded mix- lngs that have turned out to be good, and not so good, we cream- ed together a third of a cup of shortening, from our bacon frylngs and three-quarters of a cup of brown sugar-less the lump that grand-daughter begged, and voted,

"just lovely." We_ added next an egg, well beaten and beat until fluffy—"wouldn't a taste of that be nice too?" she suggested wist-. fuiiy. < O O O In a second bowl we heated a half cup_of molasses to lukewarm, added two teaspoons of baking soda. stirred briskly and then combined the two mixtures. Adding next two and a half cups of sifted all-pur- pose flour, a teaspoon each of cin- namon and ginger and a quarter tea-spoon of salt-in three addi- tions. Then shaped the mixing into a roll and set it away to chill- and fou d that we had certain envy to ards those housewives blest with electric refrigerators. who need not hasten down to put their chillings-to-be on the cool cei- lar floor. O O O

Three hours was the stated in- terval. Cut then in thin slices wlth' a sharp knlfe—recently we purchas- ed a fine sharpener from “the 5 and 1o", which excells the old Stone doorstep for edging, though in the pantry one may no see the de- lightful colors of the Summer, nor catch the aroma that is about the lawn! The yield in cookies is six dozen, of the ginger snap variety. "What I would give to taste a ginger snap like those that mother used to make!" a much-travelle . , ' ' of foods ‘ ed recently. "Oh yes, I make them, and buy them, but there is defin- itely something lacking in flavor- an elusive something I can't de- scribe. All I know. it was there in the long ago, Ellen." she laugh- ed, "and it's not to be found in any of them now." If the product of this recipe is not so good as "those that mother used to make" which without doubt were wholly delightful. expert and ingenious that those old-time cooks were, we can state that the contents of our cookie jar has lowered in the space of a few hour: sine: our baking!

In the space of a few hours which carried us away to town with the folks across the lane this morn- ing, we regretfully missed some visitors to Alderlea, especially one from a distant Province, now holl- daying in her native land-come back we suppose to make sure that Island cliffs are as red, Island skies as blue and Summer meadows as green and clovery as in memory. We trust that all of these-tho girls and boys of former years, nova re- visiting our shores will find every- thing quite as lovely as they 1181i pictured the scenes in mind, and that added to these they W111 mrv away with them othernnice memor- ies of The Island as they now find it, when they presently return to the far places, which are home to them now.
