M'FAELAND, President Portland Rose Society. THE arrival of fine weather brings the thought that tho rose garden needs attention. During the next two weeks. would be a good time to prune the bushes. The hybrid perpetuala first, then the hybrid teas, then the teas. Treat each rose as an individual, and trim it ac cording to its growth and nature. As general rule cut the slow-growing plants severely, leaving but two or three shoots, say six inches to 10 inches long, with three or four eyes for exhi bition purposes, five or six for garden decoration. Strong growing plants may have three or four shoots, and be left 12 to 20 Inches long. All should be cut to an eye leading outward,- leaving- the center open for light and air. J. B. Clark and bushes of similar growth will do best to leave three or four canes five or six feet long, and peg them down. That is, bend them over and tie horizontally 15 or 20 inches from the ground. Treated in this manner they will produce a far greater number of the fine blooms. As soon as the ground is in condition to work, the plants will . be greatly benefited by cultivating around them, say three or four inches deep. Now and any time during the month of Ma.cn is a suitable time to plant roses. They should grow fine blooms by August or September. , ... x i lif ' .

Under the straps was a fitted checked belt, and every strap was held firmly in place with cut steel buttons. Her sleeves were very smart, of taf feta gathered at the cuff and allowed to fall over the hand. A strap of check about two inches wide ran the whole length of the sleeve from the shoul der to the cuff, where a cut steel but ton was stationed. The peplum was a square of black taffeta gathered about the waist so that it flared. The skirt was in sections with a panel of check in the front, and one on each hip, all straight and in between wide gathered taffeta. The tears were gone from MifB I. Wilby Fashionable's eyes, and she went forth in all her glory, dressed just like one of the "swellest" manikins in one of Portland's best shops. And the joke of it all was that anyone with a checked suit could have done the same. BIRD LECTURES PLANNED Teachers Series Will Be Given at Audubon Clubrooms. A series of bird lectures especially for teachers and following the city school course of study will be given at the Audubon Club rooms, 309 Y. M. C. A. building, 6aturdays at 8 P. M.

TbueJu jldfdce WfArTo Do TTTHILE attenton is being given to Y V gardens and flowerbeds in prepa ration at this time, home-owners who wish to get the best results out of their lawns should begin to work them also. Too long delay in giving attention to the grass plots may do much to lm pair the satisfactoriness of the lawn through the Summer season. for fertilizing at this time would be too late, according to the lawn experts of the Federal Department of Agri culture. If the lawn has not been fer tilized already, some form of commer cial fertilizer should be used at once. Where soils have been well fertilized the previous season the failure to use a normal amount of fertilizer may not affect them seriously for this season. me mildness of the Winter in Ore gon, which brings the growth out earlier than in communities where the freezing weather continues well into the Spring months, makes a specific problem in lawn cultivation for the home-owner here, and questions of seeding and fertilizing should be con sulted with your seed man before any definite steps are taken. Whatever method of treatment is to be adopted, it is essential for the best results that the working of the lawns should not be long delayed at this time. w ISS I. WILBY FASHIONABLE sat down in grief. She had a black and white checked suit, an adorable model of the Spring of 1915. The material was good. The style was passe and she was tired of the suit as it was. She couldn't afford both a suit and a coat and all the other things that she would have liked, but she had Anally resolved upon one thing, namely, she must do something with her old checked suit. It was a shopping tour of the local shops that gave her the brilliant idea. She would make her a suit as crisp and as up to the minute as any other she had seen. It took a whole day to have the suit ripped up, cleaned and pressed, and made reVdy to get to work on. It was with a thrill that she entered one of Portland's largest shops early the next morning .to cram and jam about the bargain counter with a mob of other Spring bargainers. Her first goal was tl.e silks depart ment, where she purchased a quantity of taffeta, enough to make up with her serge, for she had measured her cloth before she started and had laid it upon her pattern. Her silk was black, but it might as well have been blue or green or any otner color, only sne pre ferred the black. After that she made a raid on the trinket shops. She searched the town over until she found some perfectly lovely imitation cut steel buttons and two little buckles to match. Then, since she had some old gray satin for lining at home her shopping expedition was complete and she still had carfare left. What she did on arriving home was far more interesting. It took several ! days, but when she finished she was as mart and as proud as couia oe. me CHILD BUREAU TO START City Will Help Schoolboys and Girl9 to Secure Employment.
