' j JUNE Is fortun ate In having two natal Kerns, the pearl and the fc moonstone both ' of which, accord ing to early as trologers, come under the planet ary Influence of the Moon, and hence possess powerful psychic rations. It was held that when these (rem 9 were worn by right of birth they Jiftd a profound effect upon the Intuitive faculties of the wearers, o that they could not only sense 'the thoughts of others but actually envision events In the future. They j were also believed to stimulate 'creative ability, being particularly favorable to the work of writers and composers. I The Orient pearl, which Is form-; ed by a substance secreted by a patient little bivalve living chiefly I In the waters along the coast of Ceylon, has been cherished for Its beauty and rarity by the people of all ages. The early Egyptians and Hebrews gave It first place among I precious gems; the Chinese valued !it equally with their beloved Jade; the Greeks set pearls In the ears of their marble goddesses, and the Christians gave their choice pearls for the glorification of their altars. And when the Spanish first reached this country they found the Indian natives wearing pearls and setting them In their ornaments of relig ious worship. Incidentally. It Is chiefly to the pearl thut Americans owe the dis covery of this continent, since It was to And a Northwest passage to India and Us great treasure chest of pearls that Columbus planned his voyage. 'Although always valued chiefly for Its beauty, the peart also held an Important place In the medical pharmacopea of the past. Pearls distilled In water are still used In the relief of stomach aliments In China, and at one time they were given In this form to the Insane In order to restore their reason probably through the belief in the pearl's connection with the Moon, Planning for The growth of public Interest In f lnwer shown has spurred every gulden club Into activity along the show line. A frequent question is as. to the chief points to be con sidered In si h Ring a show. Usually garden clubs Iihvo no great surplus in .the treasury to expend on u Nhmv and Its success depends upon the Individual efforts of the mem . brrs. 9 The main pupone of n show is tu Interest tlx public and Instruct visitors what to grow fur the heau tflicHtion of their homes and how to grow the plants they admin1.

They should familiar ize themselves with the plants and cut blooms to he exhibited, he able to Inform quest loners as to the identity of plants should labels get lost or mislaid and lo give I hern simple directions us tu their cul tural requirements. Many garden clubs have found It 'n excellent plan to secure the services of u man from a nursery or seed house familiar with the plants and with other phases of gardening to give information and answer questions. An Interesting plan to airange for a garden lecture during the afternoon or evening of the how. " One essential In staging the ex hibits is not to crowd them.

As for the Moonstone. H was long thought that this stone contained an li age of the Moon, which grew mysteriously from a mere spot to a full circle with the waxing and waning of that luminary. Because of this characteristic, testified to by many,- Including Pliny, the moonstone Is a sacred stone In India, never displayed for sale ex cept on a yellow cloth, the color yellow likewise being deemed sac red. Like the Moon, the Moonstone Is also supposed to be very powerful In arousing the tender passion, so that at one time It was the most popular of all love charms. M was said that lovers could foretell the fortune of their love hy thl stone. If It were placed in lh mouth and the subject concentrate upon when the moon was full Flower Shows at n glance. The proper Identifi cation of the exhibits is an Impor tant matter thut often Is neglected to the great disappointment of (visitors. hi this connection, the label should contain the botanical name as well as the common name. If one Is to bo admitted Id it be the latter. Ofien col loquial names are In vogue which In other localities are applied to different plants. There are sev eral plants called bachelors but tons, the annual centuuprea is one and the double perennial butter cup, Kanuncuius acris is anoiber. He Kine i he. names of the plants are plainly written on labels of sufficient size to be easily read ami thift they htr correct. As the chief idea of a show is to exhibit plants so that the visitors may know what they are, something in the way of artistry may-be tmcri filed for labels. !

Now comes that Interesting per iod In garden work when wecdllngs and seedlings aro separated, the one from the other. Kven If the weeds appear first, it is well not to attempt any weeding at all until wll-defined rows of seedling plants appear above the ground. One of the great advantages of starting seeds Indoors beforo the outdoor season begins is that one becomes acquainted with tho ap pearance of the young seedling plants, for plants In their early stages their baby period look much alike. There Is a certain weed, which, when it appears above the ground, looks almost like a young beet, and many a weedllng looks and is close kin to some flow er seedling. If gardens arc consistently and persistently weeded from this oarty time until about tho Fourth of July, the whole problem of weeding Is settled. Aid to Party Ordering When the menu for the wedding reception Is to be prepared at home, the following table will prove helpful in estimating the amount of food needed: A gallon of salad serves 40 people. A gallon of Ice cream serves 30 people. A gallon of coffoe serves 30 people, A loaf of bread usually makes about 24 small sandwiches. From the June American Hume. The Iry Skin. The dream for the dry skin must he made from oils very much like the oils of the face Itselff so that It will mingle with the gland secre tions and become a part of them, according to Marralno de Plnaud, noted authtorlty on beauty ques tions. In this way, hIig says, the dry skin will absort from tho deli cate oils of the cream-as much as It needs for lubrication and will become" soft and smooth. Stimu lated by the additional oils, the glands tend to becomo less slug gish and to function normally. Hub tho soluble cream on your face, scoop up a llttlo water and wash away the cream. That sim ple process Is sufficient. For Kitchen Kfldency A word of advice to the new bride regarding the care of cook ing utensils: After a certain period of usefulness has passed and they become burned and broken, do not retire them to a far corner of tho kitchen shelves, but as a systematic housewife, who keeps only on hand those In good working order, discard the old and broken utensils, kettles and odds and ends that are no longer useful and make space for the remaining articles, which In these days of small kitchens, uro all that should be retained. These should be kept near the sink or the range, or wherever they arc most needed, with the knives, spoons, frying pans, ket tles and their covers, and similar implements, where the cook can reach them easily. The larger and heavier pieces should then be placed on tower shelves, and those that are only used occasionally on the shelves that arc mure diffi cult to reach. Humane Society "There is a Hand of Mercy at Cambridge, Mass., fostered by the police force, and It has 300 mem bers, children of Mast Cambridge. Not a boy In that locality dares to maltreat an animal, because," says tho lioston Tost, "the whole Hand of Mercy is on his neck It he tries It." This Is how It came about.

Two of his pals worn with him and on the Hpol the Hand of Mercy was organized. Patrolman Patten promised to furnish membership buttons to the boys and he kept his word.

Dear Mary Ann Here is a story I thought you might like to pub lish in your Children's Column. Betty ami Tiny Timmie'H Father. One day Timmlc thought be would go for a walk and take Hetty-Ann with him . Now Tinimy and Rot ty-Ann had no mother, but their father was gone and they did not know whero he was. They stayed with a woman named Mrs. Hase. M rs. Base would not tell Tlmmy or Hetty-Ann what their names were but she knew what it was. Tlmmy and Rctey-Ann went for a walk. They went a lot further than they had ever went before. Tlmmy did not carei but Hetty Ann was getting tired. Hetty-Ann saw a house and they went into the yard. They went Into the bouse, but they found no ono there. "What do you suppose this Is? Look at the bed and everything. 1 bet some one had to leave here In a hurry," said Betety-Ann. "Ves, that may be IJ," said Tlmmy. Hetty-Ann and Tlmmy stayed nt tho little house for a week without anything happening. Hut one night there came some thing on the porch. Betty-Ann went to the door and there was a little dog. The little dog came In and wngged hi tall. They named him Hob. One nUht, Hetety-Ann. Tlmmle and Hob went down to tho cellar to see If anything was flown there. "I have always wanted to come down here, ever since we came here,' said Tinimy. Tim my and Betty-Ann were twini ami they were fourteen years old. Afler they bad been in the cellar about half an hour, Hetety-Ann was playing near the wall where Iherc were some shelves. AM at once Betty-Ann disappeared. "Hetty-Ann, Betty-Ann, where afewmi? Please come here." "Why. I am right here. Tlmmy." Tlmmy hunt ed for Botly-Ann. but he could not find her. Bob was with her and Tlmmy was left alone. Hetty-Ann said, "Why don't you come over hern where I hiii?" Tlmmy went over to where Vetty- Ann's voice came from. lie put For the Links and Tennis Court Left Copy of Schiaperelll tweed ault showing the new ttrlnfl blouse.

What happened? It's so dark in here. " "Well, the door went shut and I don't know where we are," said Tlmmy. They sat there for an hour try- ing ti get out, but they couldn't. At last Mctty-Aiin sain, i-eis sec where this place goes to." They got up and started out to sec where 11 let to. Botly-Ann. Timmy and Hob walked about half an hour when the tunnel stopped and didn't go any farther. "I wonder where this ,l Mlops so funny, ".said Tlmr my. liotty-Ann bumped her head on the celling and it raised up a Hide bit. "I will lift you up, and then you help me up." "Alright," said Betty-Ann. "I wonder whose house this is." Thew got out alright and when they did get out they found that they were In a large house. Hetty Ann found a door and they went Into another room. There they say a man, lie was looking at somo pictures. When ho saw Betty-Ann and Timmy ho said, "Who arc you, and how did you get In hero?," They told him how they had run away. "What did you say that woman's name was?" "It Ik Mrs. Base," said Timmy. "We'll go and sec the cellar first thing, and then we'll go and see Mrs. Base," All of them went to the cellar and the man told them that bo knew nothing about the cellar, lie told them that his name was Mr. Van Ness. Mr. Van Ness was their father and Mrs. Base did not have to tell Tlmmy who he was.' They sure had a fine and happy time. The first night In the big house they sal up till eleven o'clock. Hetty Ann and Timmy had a little house for a play house. Their father told them, "I left you In Mrs. Base's charge nutlll I could find a home for you two, but when I went back for you, Mrs. Base, was gone and so were you. I have found you nad I mean to make the rest of your life happy." Delia Wood, Central Point. Pointers for Parents Complied by the Kditors of Child ren, the Parents Magazine. A fear ridden personality is doomed to bafflement and failure. Don't make your child afraid. Dally children ara brought to psy chiatrists, suffering from a fear or giult born of parents' threats. Keonomts security Is among the most difficult things for persons of small and moderate Incomes to achieve under tho present indus trial organizations. Hut the family can at least take the first step to wards it by applying tho methods used by business corporations to achieve the same end. Planned spending makes savings more like ly and -more systematic, and less liable to cut into what are really (U'seirablc and essential expendi tures. A fallacy commonly believed is that a child must have certain infectious diseases, anyway, and the earlier the better. As a matter of fact, there s no such necessity and there is no communicable dis ease that a child Is not much bet ter oft without. There Is the possi bility that the child will not re cover and unfortunate consequenc es of contagious diseases may last a lifetime. However great your chcild's am bition and enthusiasm (in antici pation) for garden work, I would urge you to seo that tho child's first garden Is small; and to con fine tho planting to two or a tleast three kinds of plants. This Is not because more than two or three kinds cannot be properly taken care of by children, but because it Is Important lo keep effort much below tho limits of capacity, both mental I and physical. Kemember that children tire easily and it their gardens are to ho a success they must not overtax these young en thusiasts, i Very bright children show a keen and early Interest In words and nuni hem. They aro likely to learn very easily to read, and to devote themselves to reading when tho mechanics of tho process have been mastered. Thoy aro likely to keep account of the passing of time and to understand the uses of clock, calendar and almanuu be fore they aro seven years old. They manifest unceasing curiosity concerning their environment, par ticularly with reference to the be ginnings add the ultimate disposal of peoplo und things. For tho summer months tho wise parents plan clothing that Is cool, attractive and serviceable for tho chilrden. A change of scene In summer Is good for any family. Clothes for such a sojourn should be simple, washable and of suffi cient quantity to Insure neatness and comfort. They may be made at home at little expense and with a minimum of effort. Whenever a house Is being looked over for safety's sake, the stairs come to the foreground for consideration. They need to be well lighted, an do all oilier parts of the home. A switch at the head and foot of the stairways Is an ex cellent Investment. Children can be taught when quite young o make use of the lighting facilities. The buttons which control the lights should ho placed toy ouough for children to reach. i , Good Cosmetics Lurk in Kitchen Cabinets , Dccnplto tho rapid dovelopment of beauty preparations, many ex cellent cosmetics lurk right In tho kitchen cabinet ' and tho Ico box, according to Hazel Kawsoii Cades, beauty export.
