V- WHERE SHE DANCES A little more attention is being paid to the lawns this year; a little more of the “Home Beautiful” idea prevails; a little more pride being displayed in the homes and parking Btripa. Bert DePue has a beautiful lawn under way at their home and flowers galore. He puts considerable work on it and is liberally^epaid by the lovely flowers as a result. He has an electric light plant or so that hasn’t lit yet, however. Mr. Cleveland is another man that is seen out working in the yard every day and Mr. Cleveland has one of the prettiest places in the valley. lie has a large variety of flowers, bushes, vines and roses and the Cleveland home is a show place this time of year. Mrs. Sitts makes a specialty of flowers and her yard is full of them as is the home of Mr. and Mrs. War- del. Mrs. Gooding is the gardener at their home and has indeed a beau tiful place with nearly every known variety of this country. There are several homes that are attracting attention for their beautiful lawns and we wish there were more. UNION SERVICES HELO
