Now they begin to know their plants, not as summer acquaintances, but as friends. For the root is the plant. Into it is gathered the whole per- sonality of the creature that slips up into the illuminated air every spring, and withdraws at the fall of the leaf, folding her beauty once more into that humble shel- ter where she subtly contriveo her own creation. There lie. in tiniest miniature, in vaguest embryo, in secret recesses of nerve and fibre, the brittle or sappy stalks; the eager tendrils; the leaves of vel- vet or silk, like fane of swords, hearted. pennoned, tented; petals ethereal or empurpled; nectar! and filament and anther; golden bees meat; mysterious ripening calyx and painted fruit. -—MARY WEBB. U I O The root is the plant and the good earth nourishes the root: everything in this world depends on the few inches of top soil and the fertility of it. In gardening these days we are conscious of this ss we trans- plant and renew the soil, work- ing with small seedling peren- nials and divisions of older plants and shrubs. O O New Phlox in beautiful colors have been planted and old plants divided and replanted, s so pennies have been moved because they have grown so large as to obstruct the path leading to the rose garden. Pennies that are doing well need not. be moved for many years if humus is added each year in the form of well rotted manure, but if moving is necessary it should be done in the fall as they are early blooming plants. a very good rule is, plant early blooming plants in the fall and summer ‘blooming plants in the sprln-g. Russel lupines have also been placed in their permanent flower borders. There are large plants from May sowing. They have bloomed in lovely shades of cream and buff as well as the more familiar blues and white, and they now come in mapy lovely bicolors. They are a bitmfi-iore difficult to transplant than some perennials because of s long tap root when they grow older, but with care in digging a large hole and tamplng in, they will grow and make large clumps of foliage with many flow- ers in June. I O I More Iceland Poppies from my own seed gathering are being transplanted in a corner of the rock garden, these bloom very early and continue for weeks giv- ing much needed color and beauty after the late tulips have gone. Fragrant Wallflower ls planted as a companion to t.hem.. My best Michaelmas Daisy has been divid- ed into many planu and replant- ed in the borders to make n good display next autumn. Thme plants multiply very fast and need to be divided every year for a good showing. It has bloom- ed all of September and October when the garden needs such large plants, they come in rose, while, blue. and purple and pink shades. Then there are the dwarf varieties growing from six to twelve inches. They are valuable for edging the perennial borders and are charm- ing in rock gardens. The wisteria vino has been n-snsplanted to a more suitable sunny spot in the rose garden and I am hoping it will hang out its lavender clusters of fragrant flow- ers next summer.

Boston, I spent several days in the orthopedic department, 1 was surprised at the large number of cases with foot ailments. s lhrge percentage of which were fallen arches. In cases “there exercises and strapping with adhesive was not sufficient, a plaster cast of the feet was made the parietal was fitted with arch, supports. As stated before the feet are im- porta to the genezai health and happiness of all of us. As one lnvestiip-itov stated. gem-r- ally speaking, we JYLIKQ as much money with ou: feet as with our hands. A commercial traveler with sore feet often has to knock of! work 1n the middle of the after- noon because he has no pep left with which to try to sell his prc- duct. So important are healthy feet to children that many state govern- ments have the children's feet ex- amined at the beginnirtg and also 8nd of the school year. “The Billie- tin of the National Float llraltlt Council” states that Massachusetts was the first state to adopt legisla- lon requiring the annual examin- atlon of children's feet. This legis- lation was sponsored by Dr. Joseph Lalyveld. Chairman of the National Foot Council. lf the program pro- sented for Child Foot Hcnllli Month were observed by schools. podiatrlsts. ohiropodists, orthoped- ifiifi. and pediarticlans fmt defects would be recognized at an early age, thereby improving the physic- a1 fitness of future gcyirrations. Twenty-three other states are con- sidering legislation making the ex- amination of children's feet com- pulsory at least once a year. As September is the opening month cf the school year, the Nat- ional Foot Council is urging all cr- ganizaticns interested in thc health of children to obsrrve Child Fcs Health Month. The Foot l-lfalth Counzil is providing posters for class rooms and health centers. foot health exhibits for schools and lib- raries. and leaflets for children :0 take home. A special bulletin is being prepared for shoe retailets urging their cooperation. The bulle- tin outlines seven essential points in fitting children's shoes. and ten basic rules for foot care. Points to be observed in fitting infants and children's shoes: If one foot is slightly larger than thc other, fit the larger foot. The shc: should be of flexible leather and from ‘.1 to i inch longer than the big toe when the child is standing. There should be plenty of room for the toes and for fullness of child's instep; the heel should fit snugly. 2 The Stars Say-- By fiencvlovo Kemhla J 00s For Vvedncsdry, November 8 nrstrrrn obstacles. stiAboi-n im- pediments. delays, opposition, some very definite progress could be made by resort to clever strategies. by a suave or gracious yielding a point in a. wrangle. and. thus to break up opposittion and conflict.

Then it was wefiomellmes heard James‘ encouraging ‘You- all know what you have done; now see what you can do"! which left no potato on the ground, when twilight closed our day. We follow an old but well proven method at the digging. Leaving little to chance. but. adding to- gether the prevailing signs to find .1 balance in favor of continued fair weather. a number of rows are turned out in the wake nf the digger and loft to an interval of drying.

At once we commence the gathering a line of us and it is now if ever that we appreciate and enjoy the chivalry of our. men, who take care to empty every last basket- ful of ours to the cart. Children are given the same respect natural- ly, and of this Jamie a helper at times, chuckled "it's not much good filling a basket-they only come and lake it away and leave an empty one in its place!" As we had anticipated, the picking brought us creaking joints and aching muscles at first, though the initial discomfort wore away as the work continued, and we spoke often of the good for- tune which had matched our cn- deavour with‘ such perfect days. So lovely they were, sunlit. and warm that the children were able to be about the field. enjoying what we felt might be last days in the open, before Fall's chill would confine them to yards and houses.
