Although they do best in shade orsemi-shade, they will do well in any bed where not subject to direct sunshine the full day, They •wilt also give spllendid results as a house plant, :giving a long period of bloom. The bloans are very large, being from three to six inches across. There has been a wonderful advance in varieties and colors since begonias' were introduced and they now come in the following varieties: 'Large Flowered 'Single, Large Flowered Double, Single 'Frilled; Double Frill- ed, Single Frilled and :Crested, Double Frilled and Crested, ,Bulbs of these varieties can be secured in the follow- ing colors: Pink, white, bright scar- let, deep crimson, salmon, rich orange and copper color. —This is about the right time to get the window, boxes fixed up. Often when it is impossible to have a good flower garden because of lack of room or an overabundance of chil- dren playing •iii the yard, an excellent showing of bloom can be made with the window box. .Bright colored flowers and varying shades of foliage will relieve the formal appearance of the bare •walls of the house or will make a pleasing contrast with a cov- ering of ivy, The box should be made as long as the window is wide, as a general rule, but of course if the lat- ter is extra wide, two boxes placed end to end would be more easily handled. Make the box about twelve inches wide at the top and eight at the ,bottom and about a foot deep. The corners of the. box should be re- in'forced preferably on the inside where the metal will not show, with short iron or steel strips bent in the form of a right angle and drilled far screw nails. These may be obtained for a few cents at any hardware store. These pieces of metal prevent the wooden sides from warping and coin- ing apart when the Rowers are water- ed. Bore a few holes in the bottom of the box and stain the whole affair some dark color, preferably green. When dry, put a shallow layer at broken flower pots, cinders or small stones in the bottom for drainage, if possible add about six inches of rot- ted manure well pressed down. Fill up to within an inch of the top with fine garden soil and put in the plants. Some authorities advise planting very. closely in the window box, others ad- vocate more room. Three geraniums of the same color, two petunias, three German ivies, two ageratums, tlo- beias and two foliage plants with some clumps of alyssum and a few seeds of dwarf and climbing nastur- tiums will make an excellent showing in a box five or six feet long. Planting should be done after sunset. Nip off all the flowers in bloom and water heavily. It is better t0 give partial shade for a day or two. Remember that a window box dries out quickly ence it is necessary to soak with w^a- er every evening. 03eing sheltered y the roof and wall the box will (tett miss a rain. Depend, therefore, n hose and watering can rather than he elements. The manure in the box rill usually supply enough food to eep the plants blooming timbal' fall, ut if not, a ittle liquid "fertilizer may e added from time to time. -4B-feeding heart may'be propag- ted as soon as it is through bloom - July 19, Thou ,drewest near in the day tha called upon thee; thou saidst l+ not, 0 !Lord, thou hast pleaded t .cause of my soul; thou has redee ed my life, Lam. iii, "57, 58.

MAKING A JOYFUL NOISE When Harriet Beecher Stowe was a girl in Litchfield, Connecticut, it was."good orthodox custom" to take the entire household to meeting on Sunday—even to the faithful dlog. An amusing story, in the "Life of Mrs. Stowe," written by her son and grandson, is told in her own words. At meeting, the canine part of the establishment generally conducted it- self with decorum, going to sleep as decently as anybody present, except when some • mischief -loving Ries would make a sortie. Then you might hear the snap of jaws. We were compelled to acknowl- edge, however, that Trip, the minis- ter's dog, did not always conduct himself with the propriety and dee- orum befitting his position. If any- thing ablout the performance in the singer's' seat did not please him he was likely to express himself in a lu- gubrious .howl. 'If the sermon was longer than suited him, he would gape with such a Loud creak of his jaws as would arouse everybody's at- tention; and he would sometimes bark out in his sleep, and so interrupt not only his owe slumbers, but those of worthy deacons and old ladies. One Sunday Doctor Beecher ex- changed .with Rev, Mr. _Mills of Tor- ringford. Mr. Mills w•as.a thin, wiry, frisky little man, in a powdered white wig, black tights and silk stockings, with round, dark, snapping eyes, and a. curious, high, cracked, squeaking voice, tite very first tones of which made all the children stare and giggle. On the Sunday morning on which the event we are about to tell happen- ed, we children went to the house of the Lord in a very hilarious state, all ready to explode with laughter on the slightest provocation. The occasion was not long Want- ing. Immediate after the closing notes of the tolling bell, Master Trip walked slowly up the center aisle, and seating himself gravely in front Of the petpit, raised his head critically and expectantly toward the scene of the forthcoming performance. He wore an alert, attentive air that befitt- ed .a soundly orthodox dog that scents possible heresy. He evidently felt called on to see who was to occupy that pulpit in his master's absence. Up rose Mr. Mills, and up went Trip's nose, vibrating with attention. The good man began to read the op- ening hymn: "Sing to the Lord aloud," when Trip broke into a dismal howl. Father Mills went on to give direc- tions to the deacons to remove the dog in the same tone in which he read the hymn, so that the effect of the whole performance was somewhat as follows • "Sing to the Lord aloud—please put that dlog out—and make a joyful noise," We youngsters were delivered over to the temptations of Satan, and sank in waves and billows of hysterical gig- gles, while Trip was put out, and the choir did its best to snake a "joyful noise." THE MOTHER OF INVENTION, Accident is the mother of invention in ninety-nine cases. out of a hundred: So at least thinks Mr. Brennan, the inventor of the celebrated Brennan torpedo. The torpedo, h seems, w•as tate result of the inventor accidentally stumbling an the paradox that you can snake a thing go forward by pull- ing it backward. Many outer instances are recorded to show the part that accident has played in new inventions, ;Some years ago, an Ohio bu ines, man found that although he had many customers and his store was in a good situation, his business was not profit- able. Something seethed to be wrong with_ his methods,—perhaps with the way the sales were recorded,—and he worried so much that he had to take a vacation. One day while he was on his way to Europe he was standing in the engine room of the ship when he noticed a mechanism that indicated the number of revolutions the propel- ler shaft made: vVhy not snake a machine forrecording sales in a shape" he thought; and later as the, result of the question the cash reg- ister was invented, The invention of stiff collars is ow- ing partly to accident and partly to the mental 'alertness of a blacksmith's wife in Troy. 'Sometime about the year 1825, ,while the good woman was washing her huslbated's shirts, which, according to th.e unvarying- custom of those clays, had the collars attached to them, it occurred to laer that the collar of a shirt gets dirty before the rest. Accordingly she began to make detachable collars, and to se'l'l them to her neighbors. Peopile liked the idea and before 1840 several collar - making companies were doing a good business. Another woman, a British' officer's' wife, was responsible for an article of wearing apparel that at the time was far mo -re important than collars. As .Sir George Lusk was about to. start on one of his Indian camptigna Lady Lusk sewed some strips of chain under the ctoth between the collar and the shoulder of his .tunic as a protection against sabre cuts. lit served the purpose so well that the British army adopted chain shoulder straps for all ranks. Accident of a different kind set George Westinghouse on the track of his chief :invention, While he was on a railway journey' in America the quiet persistence of a tired -looking young woman who was trying to sell magazines to the passengers aroused his compassion, Out of sheer pity he bought a magazine, and in it he hap- pened to see an article that described a compressed -air borer, which gave him the idea for his pneumatic air brake. NOW I'N 93rd YEAR Within the walls of his 8,000 -acre Pocantico Hills estate at Tarrytown, N.Y., which oil millions built, John D. Rockefeller celebrated hi; 92nd birthday on +July 8th in excellent health. The usual band music, fireworks and distribution, of dimes were lack- ing from "Neighbor John's" birthday program. 'Messages of congratulation poured in from the world's leaders in business, finance and phiianthropy, but the actual celebration was a fam- ily affair. In a birthday message to the world, Mr. Rockefeller said: "These occasions offer me a very welcome opportunity; first to express my gratitude tothe many, many friends who not only at this time, but throughout the year have shown their kindly regard for me, and, second, to wish them and theirs and all the world a large measure of health and contentment, which are the basis of real happiness." The program mapped out for Mr. Rockefeller included his bit of golf, a little work with his secretary, a mo- tor ride in the esta,te and a dinner in the evening. Only members of the immediate family were invited to Abe dinner. A birthday cake was baked. RUDY VALLEE WEDS 'Rudy Vallee, crooner and orchestra leader whose peculiar style of sing- ing lifted him from obscurity to fame and riches, has been married since last Monday night it was learned on Thursday. The wedding occurred at West Farms, N;)., with Justice Herbert Litdrp:lite, performing the ceremony. The bride, a brunette with brown eyes, is the daughter of Clarence Webb, chief of police at Santa Mon- ica, Vallee, whose rise to an immense nationwide popularity has been at- tributed to his frequent radio broad- casts, is 29 years old and started as an orchestra leader while attending Yale. 'He was married in 1928 t0 'Leonie Cauchots daughter of the late Fred-. erick Cauchois, millionaire coffee king bat the marriage was annulled three weeks later,. Miss ,Webb met Vallee when he and his 'Connecticut Yankee Orches- tra were in New York to make a pie- tare, "The Vagabond 'Lover." The bride is 23 year o1d. She was graduated from .Santa Monica high school and almost immediately began her career with Metro -Goldwyn pic- tures, where she was -a contract play- er. At the end of a year with the studio, however, she was released. She failed to make the de ire.l pro- gress it was said.
