The pansy is one qf,the most popu- lar of early spring fiewering plants, for, in addition ; to their precocious habit of providing early blooms, the pleats, if well cared for, will bloom uninterruptedly .throughout summer and fall. .During .the hottest months the flowers will decrease in size, but with the advent of coo'- nights and re- freshing -rains they attain their spring size and bloom as vigorously as ever. The seed should be sewn during July and August. If only a limited num- ber of plants are required the seed is best sown in a fiat, the soil in which should be fresh and of a rather light nature. The seed may either be sown in rows or broadcast thinly, but it must not be covered more than an eighth of an inch and with quitelight sandy soil that will not form a crust. If a greater number of plants are to be raised, a special • seed bed may be made in a sheltered position in the garden _or in the cold frame. Which- ever IS used the soil should first be deeply stirred and raked quite fine and the seed sown in shallow drills, the shills spaced three inchesapart Firm the soil after sowing, using a level piece of board for the purpose, then waterthe bed with a fine spray so that the sail may not be washed. The seed bed, whether in scold frame or the' open, is then covered with old sacking or :burlap to obviate the necessity of continuous' watering. All further wat- axing previous to germination is given on top of .the burlap, On the first appearance of the seedlings remove, the covering.. .l If extra . early 'flowering plants are wanted for spring bedding, . a cold frame should be utilized_ After dig- ging over the soil spread a two-inch. layer of old rotted •manure on leaf mold, covering it with fully two- inches of good loam soil in which the seed-' lings are transplanted three inches A Lifebuoy bath Cool, fresh, rested skin tingling with health and comfort -- Feeling cleaner than you ever,felt before Because° £ the big, creamy Lather ` of Lifebuoy.

A bed four feet wide, or five feet at most, is the most suitable size, and it should be three or four inches higher than the "surrounding level. Such beds are sometimes held in place by fixing narrow strips of boards around thein. To fit the plants so that they will carry safely over winter, growth is encouraged bystirring the soil between the rows and watering thoroughly and regularly during dry weather. When the ground freezes, the entire bed is covered with a three- inch mulch of leaves, the leaves being held in place by the .aid of light brush- wood, • A HANDY APRON. My helpful clothespin .apron '.gave me an idea for an extremely -useful apron to be worn while putting the house in order each day. ' The apron is made of stout cretonne, is suspend ed from the shoulders and has a deep: pocket completely across the front, This generons-sized pocket saves' so' many steps. The abandoned magazine I' find" in the dining room is slipper} into my pocket and placed on the magazine stand when I happen to go to the luring roam instead ;of requiring a special trip. Usually by the time -I am ready to go upstairs my' big pocket is full to overflowing_ And it is seldom that a room is put in order that something is. not picked up that must be taken to some other part of the house. It saves so'many steps to place all these things in. my apron pocket ' and 'gradually plade them where they'' belong' as I work from roomto room:: --A. M. A. WHEN THE, PLIkS .COME.. WIiere there are child sure to be hies in the house how carefully one may screen. My stand-by is a long -handled, home-made fly -snapper. A two -foot piece of lath, or other slender. stick, carefully split one inch at the: end, and a four and one-half by six-inch piece of wire screen inserted, fastened by one or two tacks, long` enough to head down on the other side, makes a fly -snapper long enough to reach ceiling or walls and the children will delight to use it.
