It is quite a fad this pot tering among your own posios; a phenomenon one wiffht almost call it, wherein the artistic finds expression in paraphernalia which blends vrith the landscape. i Tho shops abound with gay impor tations, smocks, bonnets and aprons, to tempt those who tarry within the garden gate; The smocks in themsel ves are enough to 'turn one to mites, spades and garden baskets. I am told the fad originated in England; cer tainly, it is charming enough to be long to old Britany. This garment has much the appearance of a middy, grown to greater length, coming just below the knee, being slcshedxto slip on over the head. Usually, it 1s made with set-iri "sleeves and. yoke, and smocked front and back, on pock et and sleeves, f or the most pact, (inen, unbleached . muslin, cretonne r.nds ilk areu sed in the making. All a garden, with cockle-shells and silver bells, needs is a Mistress Mary, quite contrary, in one of these fetch ing garden smocks. Can you picture anything more charming than a bright-eyed girl in a blue smock", white hat, skirt and shoes, among the roses in an old garden? Perchance, there is a woven wicker basket on a cans, stuck in the ground to hold the posies, and a few plant-sticks- with porrots cardinals and bluebirds, perched on top, scattered among the flowers to make . the picture painted by nature quite complete.

This photograph shows the young woman in the costume of a tancy dress ball. ' ' Just at this tima, when she is eigh teen years of age, she enjoys an in come, of $10,000 a year, and when she is twenty-one she is to come into a fortune of about $1,000,000 from her father's estate. The young woman was graduated from a convent a few months ago, and .her mother says she was' very demure. She didn't have a ' naughty little twinkle in her eye." However, the white lights of Broad way got on the young woman's nerves. ' , Her mother swore out a warrant for her charging her with being incorrigible, and had her taken to a police court. "Usually she wasn't home before for garden work. There was a garoen set tne other day in one of the shops, for $12 complete consist ing of a flat boat-shaped basket of Drown wicker, fitted with shears, collapsible ruler, grubber,' marker, rake, brown burlap knceling-pad, and an apron, of the bown burlap. In fact all the tools now come light in weight to fill the requirements. of the woman gardener; and the fixtures in bright collors, to catch her eye.

"She broke the glass in the door and let herself in. She brought a company of friends to dinner one night, and one of the men asked me if I had no brandy. He drank three quarters of the bottle I had got for him, end when he began throwing burning cigarettes on the carpet . I asked him to leave. "Eugenia explained to me later that this man was a drug fiend, and that he was going to go away to a sanatorium pretty soon. - I expressed the hope that she had not added the use of drugs to her other habits, but all she said wa3t " 'Any one who has $15 can get all the cocaine or heroin she wants in this town.' 1 "When I expostulated about the hours she kept, she said to me: " 'You're nobody at all if you don't go to at east five cafes a night.'

New York, June 5. Blase New Ymlf scere enritics. such as bound here by the thousands, expericenced a thrill recently at a great war play presented in the movies at the Strand. This vivid war drama, entitled "Stol en Goods," came in the gefieral run of the Strand's features, without any press agent attempts at advertising such as attended the war plnys at the regular theatres when they opened. That the principul theme of the motion "nicture war nlay is taken from a story by Ouida makes it alii the more graphic, for that great I writer was the author of many min ing tales. "Stolen Goods," is poduced with a! realism that is only possible in a moving picture, with its great battle' scenes, with shells ourstine over: peaceful Belgium villages and its pro tmvnl of war scenes that are1 vivid. The war is pictured with all its ghast- ily horrors and terror charges the at- mopnhere. The pictue is a powerful story of a poor girl sent to jail in this coun try as a result of a theft being at tached to her by the renl thief, a kets for weeda and knees, are made bright' with, cushions of figured. era tonne; the kneeling-pad 1 of woven ' rush Ss bound with red tape, that it, too, may have the spirit of the sun shine and flowers; and . baskets are enameled and painted with roses, but- tercups ana aanouius. even aprons . take on a gala day aspect, being made of chintz, cretonne, or quaint, j checked, pink gingham.: . The woman who makes gardening her summer pastime may even go far ther and select the dress she wears with the ' apron to harmonize with grass, flowers and dovecote.. A brown burlap or: dark blue . linen will give the desired effect, made with pain waist, full skirt, and the broad organ dy collar and cuffs that we have come to call quaker. She will have . no trouble in finding these accessories. The sports shops must have anticipat ed tho craze, for there are hats, gloves and shoes galore for the pur- . pose. First come the peanut, straws and cane-buttom-chair ... hats, with floppy brims to protect the wearer from the sun.-These are trimmed with a rosetto of cretonne to match the smock, or apron, a velvet bow or a cluRter of straw flowers. .Then there -are poke shapes and sunbonnets with streamers of cretonne which have ta ken their style from a peep in a 1915 fashion book; but the Chinese coolie ' hats are the novelties of the season. With streamers attached at the side milady can wear tne plateau on her head, or when the sun is yet in the East, use it as a basket to carry her flowers. Since gloves must be worn to pro tect the hands, the stores are showing chamois and- canvas, for this purpose," and if you listen close you will hear the girl behind the counter tell each customer in a bored voice to buy ; !:ize larger than they usually wear. Tt : n easy to tell that this girl, too, has been caught in the thrall of the gar f;ening craze, and " is thinking, . no uouht, of larkspur and roses, instead of the gloves her customer wears. Garden etiquette even reaches to bhoos. White canvas is the approved material,-and you may have a com--fcvtable, flat sneaker or trim pump,, with medium ' heel in this fabric. With ' such settings, .; fittings and clothes, gardening becomes more than a mere pleasure. It now is a real sport of hte summer; when you meet u friend, it's not how many miles have you motored, or : how many tournaments Avon, but how does your (,-arden- grow since the last drought,, rain or storm of the season?

In a town in the little stricken coun try of Europe, Belgium, the red cross nurse meets her former accuser, now an American refugee. While they are talking a bursting shell seemingly kills the American society girl and the nurse assumes her personality, exchanging their clothes.' Aided by the confusion of war the former nurse' escapes .to America where she takes up the life of the socity woman, living a life of com fort, and pleasure. . : Flashed back tci Belgium the film shows an American doctor coming nervosa the apparently dead body of a red cross nurse, whom he finds is fafill oliira Rv n Hiffirnlt nnorflfinn Via saves her life.
