This ig the jovous season of the year
when the amorous robins and the blue
birds happiness wake you at five a.
m. as they burble under the window
sill. These are the nights when yon
toss off the extra counterpane and
wake in the morning with a cold in the
head and an extra counter pain in your
chest.
These are the happy days when the
Amalgamated Union of Janitors turns
off the steam heat prematurely anfl
you have to affect the cumbrous dra
peries of your eiderdown bathrobe on
top of your customary garments around
the frostbitten menage.
Th'ese are pleasant mealtimes when
you struggle with the offspring to get
them to consume sufficient quantities
of rhubarb sauce, spinach, dandelion
greens and other healthful first fruits
of spring against which their childish
souls and tummies revolt.
Being offspring perhaps accounts for
their being "off" spring vegetables.
These arc the intoxicating afternoons
when the shop windows get full of nil

is only their prices that soar. Truly,
fine feathers maks fine hate this spring,
for almost every turban, poke, mush

isn't beaded is abristlo with wings.
Some of them nro both beaded and
winged at that.
Hats aren't the only things in the
shop windows that go to tho female
heads,, however, as thero are stunning
Spanish back combs or tortoise sneii
amber, deiui-aniber and carved jet.
Wonderfully artistic Bud alluring they
are and everywoninu is immediately bit
ten with a desire to possess one as soon
as she tries their teeth in her topknot.
Like Dutchman's breeches, violet, j
dogwood and all the spring flowers the!
fashionable growths in the spring shop
windows are prono to have as ephemera)
an experience. They enjoy a brief popu
larity and -then vanish like the crocus,

1 am wondering if the exuberant
new waistcoats of rainbow hued jersey
silk nro doomed to so fickle a fling.
Most amazingly colored are they in the
broad Roman etripea ot orange, emerald
green, purple and scarlet, 'ihey are
stunning for wear with the new sport
coats of velvet that are pressngented
as successors to the ubiquitous sweaters.
I rather fear the existence ot the cli
vers hued waistcoats will be fleeting,
however, since all of their colors are
guaranteed fast. Speaking of brilliant
colors, we are due to have a perfect
riot of them on hands this spring, if we
are to judge by the way the glove 'fing
ers point. Talk about hnndpainted;
well our hands will certainly look paint
ed when they don the new sport gloves.
Their lower sides are of wash kid in
tho most hectic matching tint or a con
trasting tone- They will look hand
painted if they don't look as if some
thing had dyed on our hands. Royal
palms may well be dubbed the hands
that are covered with the royal purple
gloves with orange silk backs. Verdant
palms will be those of emerald green
backed with Chinese blue. White gloves
with black silk backs and vice versa
are especially smart in these duys when
blauck and white is such a winning
hinntion. but, the bricht colors run
pretty close for favor. When the kid
underpart of the glove is in the same
brilliant color as tne sn uuc mirau
of being a contrast the stitching on the
back in an off color relieves the mo
notony. ... ,
Just, fancy a group of foreign born
ehnrmcrs at the nolo match, the gol'f
club or tho race course indulging in an
animated conversation in wiiicn nnnii
gesticulation plays sucn an imp.m.m.
part. Thus gloved their waving palms
are bound to have all the colorful chitt
ing effect of a kaleidoscope.

Smooth peas, which like rich soil,

The peas should be placed two inches

Three plantings can be used in a
