to wear a dreaa because you go
from one acuson to tho next In a
ault, fashion la all on your aide.
Your ault may be elegant and
perfectly tailored.
It may need
little In the way of dressing up for
many occasions. However. If you
do wear a suit for almost every
thing, there ure many fashion-wise
touches which cun help dress It up
or down to be most suitable for the
occasion.
Some women like to leave their
suits strictly alone, and use ac­
cessories elsewhere. Do It with a
frothy veiled hot or one bedecked
with flowers. Both of these types
are fluttering for making the tai
lored suit acceptable for the dres
sler occasions.
Another way to do It Is with a
blouse
For most times you can
wear the trim and tailored blouses,
but for other occasions, choose ny
Ion. sheer, net or orgundie with a
fresh froth of lace or ruffles. Try
another color, too. In the blouse, and

on the suits which I mentioned,

gloves to dress them up. Buttons
and bows ore keynotes In styling,
too, as are the appearance of em­
broidery, tassels and openwork on
the gloves.
For coo, comfort during spring
and summer, shorties arc the fa­
vored length, with really long
gloves still holding their own for
wear on very formol evenings.
The flowers that bloom have
nothing on gloves when it comes to
color.
Glove shades range from
delicate pustels to rich, vibrant
tones.
Among the most popular
are Bristol blue, clove pink, fawn,
sun ^ronze, carib green, rose lus­
tre, cherry pink and South Sea
violet. Colors can be worn with a
dark costume or may harmonize
with the apparel shades.

THE GARDEN SPOT
Perennials: Beauty, no Work
.By Eldred E. Green.
FOB B EAUTY without work there
Is nothing superior to a good selec­
tion of perennials. Once planted
they go on for years and years pro­
ducing beauty with only weeding
needed. You can depend on peren­
nials. From early spring to late fall
they will furnish color and beauty
in the garden.
The earliest of all arc the violets.
The large English violets are fra ­
grant and bloom all seuson except in
the hottest weather. They are fine
for border or in shade. Bleeding
heart also will grow in shade and
flower early. The old fashioned tall
kind will die back to the ground in
midsummer, but the dwarf plumy
one will continue to bloom all sum­
mer. Columbine with its longspur-
red flowers is a good plant for bor­
ders or rock gardens. It. too, will
grow in shade. The lily-of-the-valley
needs no Introduction. I t is unex
celled for very shady spots.
Peonies are tops for fine spring
bloom. Plants are hardy, long-lived
and are available in a bewildering
range of size and color. While peony
plants take a lot of room, yet other
perennials can be planted among
them.
Most gardeners are not fam iliar
with the single and Japanese pe­
onies. These have five large out­
side petals, a cluster of small yellow
stamens in the center and the gen­
eral appearance of a magnificent
single rose.
The Japanese kinds have a large
yellow center. A few of these in
any of the fine colors is sure to be
different and admired In your gar­
den. Peonies never should have the
reddish buds at the top of the
roots more than two inches below
the soil or they will not bloom.
Iris are always fine for spring.
There are many kinds but Generally
only the common bearded iris Is
seen. Some of the very new vari­
eties have mammoth flowers but
generally are not so hardy as the
older smaller ones.
For something really different
try the Oriental iris. The leaves are
narrow and graceful while the
flowers are huge. They open rather
flat and many varieties will cover
a small plate. Colors ore very rich
in shades of purple, blue, mahog­
any and white. They need a little
more moisture than the bearded
kinds. Flowers are produced about
three weeks later so they fill in the
season very well.
For summer bloom the garden
phlox is unsurpassed. There are sev­
eral hundred varieties on the m ark­
et, so the selection for your garden
can be made from tall and short
and in a rainbow hue of colors.
Another good summer flower Is
Loosestrife or Lythrum. This has
long rosy spikes of flowers over a
long period.
For fall the hardy asters with
glorious daisy-like flowers in many
colors, and the chrysanthemums
are tops. There are so many varie
ties in each of these groups that in­
dividual taste must decide. A good
selection of each of these will keep
up the parade of flowers until frost.
Most perennials do best In a good
loam soil with plenty of sun, except
where shade has been mentioned.
Old flowers should be cut off but
plenty of leaves left to build up the
plant. Watering may be beneficial
in long dry spells. The perennials
are very numerous and many more
might be mentioned. Generally a
garden with a good selection of the
basic kinds will serve most needs.
Others can be added at any time.
