Shontz gave an informative talk on iris at the last meeting of Rogue River Garden club, held at the home of .Mrs. Henry L. Bonney. She stated that Aug ust is the month to divide iris, advising that the leaves should be cut off in fan shape after separating the rhizomes with a sharp knife. Bone meal and superphosphate should be placed in the ground before planting the rhizomes, which should not be completely covered. In early spring; Mrs. Shont2 said the plantings should be treated with a solution of one cup of ammonia to three gallons of water. This kills plant dis eases. It was also said that peonies should be cut back at this time and that the gardener should use c'aution in covering with wood ashes, since these tend to crust over. Coleus may be cut now to start new plants, and they will root in water. The speaker also said that to start roses, cut off growth with some old wood, yid place it in a white potato for sprouting. Azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons should be fertilized at this time of the year. The club set April as the month for the 11th annual flow er show of the club. ' Mrs. E. W.

Society Cotton Leotards Youthful Fashion The ballerina look . will be popular in sportswear this fall for school-age young .ladies, re ports the National Cotton coun cil. Cotton leotards, traditional practice custurr.e of ballerinas, hae invaded the sportswear picture and proved many crea tive costume combinations for leisure hours. ' Leotards in black or red will be worn beneath shorts or skirts. Alone they will make a figure-fitting variation on the at-home trouser theme. Some back-to-schoolers will choose cotton corduroy Ber muda shorts to slip on over their slim leotards. Others will prefer short or knee-length pleated skirts of cotton knit. Other skirt styles that adapt naturally to the leotards look are full, circular skirts of bright ly colored velveteen and wrap arounds of woven plaids. Cotton leotards are available in either two-piece sets, consist ing of tights and T-shirts, or one piece, over-all styles. For the one-piece style a smart combina tion is Bermuda shorts topped with a cotton shirt opened at the neck. When just the tights are worn beneath the skirts or shorts, they are ensembled with bulky cotton knit sweaters, draw string blouses or sissy shirts. Solid colors, stripes and many patterns are available in these cover-ups.
