A hardy garden Is the garden for
the busy woman. It will last for years
and be a delight to her and to her
neighbors with a very little care.
Take a careful survey of your re-
sources and make a study of your own
Individual problem. "Book taught"
gardeners may be all right up to a
certain limit, but one season's experi-
ment along your own lines will give
you an Insight Into plant life that,
aside from being a most fascinating
study, will teach you more than
years of reading.
Those who wish to plant roses and
not bother with them more than to
prune and fertilize annually and keep
the ground mellow about the plants
should plant hybrid perpetual roses.
The hybrid perpetuals are the hardi-
est of roses and will stand more cold
weather than any other species.
The following aj«e desirable speci-
mens:    Anne de Diesbach, bright car-
mine; Baroness Rothschild, an ex-
quisite pink; La France, blooms all
summer; Frau Karl Druschkl. snow
white, has splendid buds and Immense
flowers, four to five Inches across, and
Is delightfully fragrant; General Jac-
queminot, a popular rose of brilliant
red; Paul Neyron, lovely dark pink;
Gruss an Teplitz, a strong, vigorous
grower, of richest crimson; Killarney,
both pink and white, are hardy, and
Mrs. John Laing, a rose of delicious
fragrance and of a rich satiny pink
color.
A hardy border that Is a triumph of
beauty and has been enjoyed for
years contains hollyhocks, phlox, lark-
spur. foxglove. Iris, columbines, pinks,
and sunflowers. It Is not so expensive,
figures up about six cents per square
foot, but arranged according to size
and color makes a wonderful show-
ing.
Hardy roses require ordinarily good

PLANT YOUR HARDY GARDEN ? *ar,len Bo11- wel1 enriched with weii-
rotted manure. Thev must have an
open, sunny position clear of the roots
of all trees and shrubs. It Is well to
prepare the bed a few days before
planting to allow for settling. Ever-
blooming roses should be planted 18
Inches apart and the hybrid perpetu-
als two feet apart. Roses should be
planted with the roots diverging and
at least nine Inches below the surface
of the ground, the soil made firm about
them and then should be liberally wa-
tered.
Hollyhocks succeed best In rich,
well-drained soil, and should be light
ly protected during the winter months
with coarse straw or spruce boughs.
Larkspur seed sown In the open
ground early will produce flowering
plants by the beginning of July, and
will give a continuous succession ->f
bloom from then until frost. It 1* ex-
cellent for cutting and very orna-
mental. It produces In a great vari-
ety of forms and colors some of the
most beautiful flowers In cultivation.
A'' varieties are easily cultivated and
adaptable to most conditions, but In
a soil deeply dug and well enriched
with fine old manure, their blooms are
the finest. Set from one and one hall
to two feet each way.
Old-fashioned clove pink, and Its
more elegant relation, the carnation
flower so easily as an annual that it
has attained a most popular position
among garden plants. The beautiful
flowers make an attractive display
with their world of color, and are
greatly to be desired as a table deco-
ration and also as a border plant.
Pinks grow easily from seed and
come true to color. Sow out of doors
when danger from frost is over. II
the seed is sown early enough the
perennials will bloom the first year.
There are a great many other plants
that are hardy and desirable, this le
but a mere beginning. Choose the
flowers you are fond of and the work
will be more successful and more
pleasant. But have a garden now, n*
matter how small.

nations that are tow In vogue. For
Instance, the upper overskirts of ptnk-
lsb-mauve chiffon, over a pink chiffon
loose facing that sends a glow through
the outer skirt witnout making it pink.
Under this falls a chiffon skirt of a
deeper shade of wistaria over a silk
skirt of changeable pink and purple,
with a general tone of purple. It is
quite the fashion to mingle pinks, Are
colors and purples so that the whole
garment looks like a design In orchid,
dipped in purple shadows and sunny
highlights. One must be an artist to
know how to mingle colors effectively,
so that you will find It much more
simple to drape a full chiffon or voile
overskirt above a silk skirt. It Is also
fashionable to make the overskirt of
flowered taffeta draped over a skirt
of plain taffeta of the same general
color scheme, as, for Instance, rose-
colored taffeta where roses form the
color plan of the overdress.

JACKETS OF COLORED SILKS
Mad* Without Sleeves, They Most El
fectivaly Dress Up Last Year’s
Whit# Gowns.
Bright-colored silk sleeveless Jack
ets. reminiscent of the '60's, which srv
being worn with white dresses of nel
and organdie, are some of the prettiest
fashions of many yearn These lit
tie coats are edged with double quill-
ings of pinked or plcot taffeta and art
very full and ruffly around the hips.
They hold possibilities for the made
over dress, too. A tumbled and scant
skirted net dress of last year can b«
washed, hung round with four or flv«
ruffles of fresh material edged with
bebe ribbon of velvet or satin In a fa-
vorite color, say cherry, and then s
yard and a half of cherry t&ffeU will
make a little sleeveless coat. This
will conceal the waist's cut. and If th«
sleeves are kimono, so much the bet-
ter.
Another pretty fashion is the sleeve
less Jumper of crepe or chiffon. This li
usually In bright colors also, but can
be made In pastel shades for semi
evening dresses and with Its little
pocketed peplum. sometimes embroi-
dered and sometimes beaded. It li
sure to be used by the younger set
as It completely changes the look ol
a white dress. With waist tied In by
very long cords and tassels reaching
to the bottom of the skirt, or by nar-
row ribbons In different shades of the
same color, forming bunches over the
distended hips, this little Peggy blouse
Is Indeed a dainty novelty.

tirely novel. All Its edges are fin-
ished with a piping of white and out-
lined with narrow flat silk braid, mak-
ing the sharp and snappy contrast of
black and white In a conservative
fashion. It has a “chin-chin" collar.
The short coat of covert cloth
trimmed with plain broadcloth Is
frankly a model for all-round wear,
and does not commit Itself to any sort
of special occasion. It Is pictured

about the neck, and the arm's eye and
shoulder straps are bound like tha
scallops. The fullness of the ailk la

shtrrings over cable cord, forming a

SUMMER CORSETS IN CHIFFON
cy-'i
OvuMa Whit* Kilts may.
Combine Lightness of Weight With
Wearing Qualities That May Be
Called Remarkable.
One of the daintiest accessories for
the bride or bridesmaid for that mat-
ter is the corset of flowered chiffon.
No woman who possessed a blouse of
the best quality chiffon but knows
how it wears, how it washes and
cleans and bears strain and pressure
out of all proportion to its apparent
fragility. The new corsets made of
three thicknesses of chiffon are boned
with transparent composite reeds and
fastened with backalite clasps. A
great amount of hand work is put upon
them, and a small collection exhibited
recently in a New York shop was em-
broidered with sprays of blossoms and
trimmed with real lace.
A very pretty new sports model is
laced down both sides of the front
about four inches apart. A narrow
panel of ailk elastic Is inset at the
sides to give perfect freedom. The
newest models are rather high in the
bust, with a prominent incurve at
the waist and distinctively shorter In
the hips, but they curve down shield-
Another innovation Is the taffeta cor-
set made of pastel-tinted or pornpa-
The corsets are to be worn beneath
the thin summer dresses without any
camisole and with merely a net under-
bodice to veil their charms.
Corsets of silver cloth, while they
were very much used during the win-
ter. are not shown tor summer, and
upon the whole the gilver lace cami-
soles to be worn under evening dresses
of black and colored tulle are rather
more chic. But the line of the corset
top, the thick portion of the camisole
and the upper edge of the bodice or
gtrdle are identical and the faahlon for
the very cloae-sheathed figure, espe-
cially at the waist lin*. t**4s to allml-
nate all unnecessary layers of I
terial, be they ever so fragile.
