THE GARDEN SPOT
What's Home Without a Lawn?
By Eldred E. Green.
WHAT WOULD yout; home look
like without a lawn? It would be a
pretty dismal looking place Because
lawns are so common we pay little
attention to them. Nature has pro
vided many kinds of grass and
some w ill grow in most any spot.
With little thought and care the
vide a fine, green, living setting for
home and garden.
A new lawn should be treated ex
actly like a garden. The soil should
be deeply turned and finely pulver-
grass can be encouraged to pro-
Ized on top. Fertilizer and humus
should be added if the soil is clay
or sandy. The grass should be sown
evenly and the surface kept moist
until the plants are well started.
Grass grows only In cool weather,
so the lawn should be taken care of
early. Use seed that is good for
your situation. Kentucky Blue grass
is the best over most of the country
and under most conditions. How
ever,
it w ill not grow in heavy
shade. Here some other grass Is
necessary, such as Canada Blue
grass or Chewings Fescue.
In all grass seed mixtures there
w ill be other grasses that come up
rapidly and form a protection while
the slower kinds get started. Red

The feminine influences which
have been observed during winter
and spring are bound to show up
even more for summer fashions and
there's nothing in the fashion spot

trend.
The camisole effect is new and
very womanly looking. I t ’s featured

the use of embroidery trim on
pastel dresses of cotton and linen,
or the tiny tie belts or the high-
busted Empire silhouette.

summer clothes offer a wonderful

SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS
Be Smart!
cause, as she says, she has always
hated being imposed upon, and she
wants things understood.
Barry, her young man, appears
to be casual and cheerful about
these matters, and assures her that
with his good steady salary, pros
pect of promotion, with his com
fortable house free of encumber-
ances and with the small but sure
income both he and Eva derive
from wartime investments, "every
thing w ill be fine.” B arry’ s mother
less small daughter, Meg., w ill live
with them, but her school and
clothing expenses are paid by her
mother’s mother,
" I made out a budget,’* says
Eva's letter. "B a rry laughs at this,
but I have been a financial mana
ger of a small sanitarium for some
years and know how to handle such
affairs. My idea is that just so
much shall be allocated to table,
telephone, cleaner and so on; Just
so much go to Barry for taxes,
car maintenance, lunches, club
and so on, and the residue be d i
vided on an equal basis. Unless
a wife is to be an unpaid servant,
as my mother was for 25 years,
she surely has a right to her share.
Knowing your opinion of the im
portance of a money agreement In
marriage I want to ask you two
questions. What, out of an income
of about $600 a month, should be
my share, and should I ask Barry
to put our agreement into w riting?"
Serious Question
Eva. I say in reply, you are quite
right in quoting me as saying that
the money question is a most
serious one, in marriage, and that
if it is settled to the satisfaction of
both parties, other problems are
apt to fa ll into line.

the house” has been in use for
generations, I remember hearing
it in my childhood. But it doesn't
apply now. Now, with the modern
science doing all it can in heating,
cookipg, lighting, canning, washing,
a woman moves with great ease
among miraculously efficient ma
chines.
In a sense she is a servant in the
; house. But not unpaid. She is the
most richly-paid woman in the
world; she is paid in love and grat
itude.
I She is paid whenever she sees
the children bright and good at the
supper table, or when a tired man
comes home to what to him is the
loveliest spot in the world.
Solitary lives know nothing of the
ecstasy of richness, but the honest
wife and mother knows.
Certainly she wants to feel sure
of her husband’ s understanding of
her household and her persona]
needs. But Eva w ill make a fatal
mistake if she starts into m a tri
mony holding firm ly, in her newly-
ringed hand, that signed document
that gives her just so much legal
tender every month.
In California, we recently had a
case in which the bride's father in
sisted upon fu ll divorce settlements
signed, sealed and delivered.
The groom was criticized because
he treated the whole m atter as a
sort of Joke, but granting that he
wanted to m arry the g irl under
these extraordinary circumstances
I don’t know what else he could
have done. I f he had been a wiser
and older man he would have w ith
drawn from the marriage.
Eva, if you insist upon this iron
bound document as a prelim inary
to putting your hand in Barry's
then I suggest that B arry look into
this pre-rnatrimonial divorce idea
and perhaps have another docu
ment in his own hand.
