Some of the new printed dress
patterns are made with the hem line

frocks the hem border is perfectly

Undoubtedly the present mode is
quite favorable to the development
of most charming materials printed
in this way. More and more we are
eliminating trimming fmm our
frocks, depending on the color and
design of the material for decoration
more than on superaddcd trimmings.
Since women demand lightness, and
scorn anything in the way of un-
necessary bulkiness in frocks, this
is obviously an advantage. A bor-
der achieved by colorful printing at
the hem of a frock is obviously pref-
erable, under the present mode, to a
border achieved by banding of rib-
bon or braid.
The sketch shows how these alike
are printed and how they are used.

BLOSSOMS

"But it won't—Aunt Ellen says
I am perfectly welcome to the
ground to plant anything I like in
and I’m just crazy about the idea.
Mother." Helen Willing‘s eyes
sparkled with enthusiasm. _
Helen’s ides was to specialize
in old-fashioned flowers. She
wanted to raise all the blosoms
that ever had grown in grand-
mother's garden. She had observed
the tendency of people she came
in contact with to fancy all the
older-fashioned flowers and she
felt that she could build up a suc-
cessful little business. A vacant
lot belonging to a relative lay
adjacent to their own property
and the idea became so insistent
every time she looked at this piece
of ground that she had finally
broached the subject to her over
empathetic mother.
"I've been visualizing my gar-
den so long that it is bound to
become a reality," she argued.
After having the ground turned
over, Helen divided it into beds
of all shapes and sizes with con~
venlent paths running between
them. Then she
thoughts to old—fashioned flowers
so that there might be no blossom
a customer could want that she
could not supply. ‘
“When I come into your gar-
den, dear." said an elderly cus-
tomer who came frequently to pull
Helen's gate string, "memories
chase each other through my
thoughts like leaves after each
other in an Autumn flurry. And
the fragrance—fill. if you only
knew. child. of the early romance
they recall."
Once a. month Helen had a
moonlight garden party when
everyone was invited to walk
through the quiet paths or sit on
the rustic benches. The magic of
the silvery light on the old-fash-
ioned blossoms and the fragrance
exuded with the moist night air
was wonderful. Helen. herself.
was like a slender wraith wander-
ing here and there among her
chosen haunts.
To one of these moonlight par-
ties one night came a stranger.
Helen never intruded upon the
guests as they came and went but
this young man seemed so alone,
that she asked him some. casual
question or other about flowers.
“I've been in America only a
few weeks and I‘m desperately
homesick," he told her. His tone
of voice said even more.
"But-—-how did you come
here?" asked Helen.
They were standing by the gaz-
ing globe in which the great moon
was reflected in all her glory.
“I passed by one day and then.

as I enquired about your garden.
I learned that you have these
moonlight at-bomes. I miss our
home gardens in England where
my mother has all the old-fash-
ioned flowers and I fancied per-
haps this would help. But—”
He stopped as if unable to con-
tlnue.
“But it doesn’t?" asked Helen
“It only makes .
sympathetically.
it worse. I know what a frag-
rance does to memory."
“I'll buck up and get over it.
never fear," he said. ,
."Certalnly—but it's hard.”
added Helen. ”You must know
these primroses if you’re English."
she said. _ ,
"Don't I though?”
Helen took him about and
learned that he had come to live
in the suburbs so as to have a
touch of home life along with the
business that had brought him to
America. She found him com-
panionable and his suggestions
about flowers were helpful.
The little business grew in pro-
portion wlth Helen’s enthusiasm
and it was not long before she
had her own boxes for packing
oldifashioned bouquets. She made
a specialty of lavender spikes for
‘the linen closet and these she
packed in lavender boxes. Moss
roses sheeent forth in a pastel .
shade cf green and everything she
did in connection with her garden
business was carefully thought
out and artistically executed. It
was no wonder she made a suc-
cess. And she was happy.
It was not alone the garden and
its success that brought the light
of happiness to her eyes, however.
Geoffrey Anthony had become a
frequent Visitor to the old-fash-
ioned flower-beds.
“I’ve lost all my homesicknees
now, Helen." be was saying to her
one night as they sat on a rustic
bench near the fountain.
“Yes—-I fancy you are not so
lonely as you were," she replied
mischievously. .
"W'ho could be lonely with you
in the same town .and———with you
in the garden the gods themselves
might envy any man," he said
earnestly.
Helen was not anxious to let
him say more and she rose to
go in.
“Where are you going?”
asked. .
"I have some boxes to fold and
bouquets to plan," she told him.
"Vi'ant to come along?"
Geoffrey always wanted to
"come along" and he spent many
In evening helping her with her
rrork.
And eventually, the girl had to
listen to him when he told her
.hat he loved her.
"But I'll never give up my gar-
den." she protested.
"Then you'll have to care for
us both." Geoffrey said.

ON A PICNIC
Many a housewife who finds no
trouble in devising dainty and at-
tractive menus for the home table
declares herself feazed when it
comes to the preparation of the
picnic basket. -Yet it is not a dif-
ficult undertaking when one gets on
to the« "pull of the ropes.” Even in
the home meals there must be fore-
thought. to see that all necessary
materials are on hand. Even more
so is this essential in putting up
luncheon, for half the pleasure of a
picnic depends on the emcienoy of
its oommisssry department. and
any serious oversight when one is
twenty miles from a lemon or any
other desired edible is a misfortune
hard to bear.
Picnic luneheons should vary so-
eerding to the prospective stage
asking and the mode of journey
thither. If the party is to motor,
sail or drive to its destination, with
pth of room for hampers and ac-
oeniories. the bill of fare may be
much more varied and comprehen-
sive than when one goes on trolley
or wheel or expects to tramp to the
picnic ground. In the latter ease
it is necessary to go in light march-
ing order. everything as compact as
possible. and things must be stowed
gm in boxes instead of baskets.

meal is finished.

MOSAIC VANITIES
One of the prettiest trinkets
that the shops are showing are
the mosaic vanities. They come
in the various oval and round
forms, thick or thin. They are
covered with mosaics in various,
combinations of color. Some are
double compacts. for holding both
powder and rouge, and some are
thinner, single compacts. for
powder alone.
ONE-SIDED SCARFS
There is a most interesting
tendency to one sidedness.
One frock is made of blue and
white—dark blue and white——
crepe de chine. The sleeves are
both white. the body of the frock
is blue. But there is a white
panel at the right side of the
skirt. and along white scarf floats
from one shoulder at the other.
