For porch nnd window boxes nnd for gay beds which will hold their display until frost kills them, there is no annual to compete with the petunia. particularly the smnll-flowered bedding varieties with their myriad bloom. There are wonderful plants with their frilled nnd milled flowers, which nre more showy Individually, hut they lack in freedom of bloom and sheets of color and nre better for individual specimens or for beds by themselves. The bedding petunias make a solid sheet of color. Two of the finest of these, because of the purity and delicacy of their color, are Rosy Morn and Countess Ellsmere, much alike in their delicate rose, white-throated bloom, but the latter is of more ram- 1 pant growth. 1 For window boxes three petunias in- 1 - t c .4_ Ul-U .T-111 cllned to trailing nnous wmui ?n? droop artistically over window boxes are Balcony White, Balcony Rose and Balcony Blue. There are no finer subjects for porch and window boxes than these three and their culture Is simple. A packet of seeds will furnish enough petunias to decorate the windows of a fair-sized building. They can be sown outdoors as soon as the weather Is settled and transplanted very easily about a foot apart and they will soon make a solid mass. They begin to bloom when the plants are small and each Inch of growth merely enlarges the blossoming surface. Cut back In the fall and potted up they make fine house plants.? National Garden Bureau. ALIVE TO COMMUNITY SPIRIT Few Towns and Villages Throughout the United States Not Awakened | hu R?rent War. It Is a significant fact that the ten- j dency In the United States today Is to t make the community memorial erected s In honor of those who fought, a "llv- t Ing monument" rather than the cold r symbol of bygone wars. During the re* t cent war, every community In the Unl- r ted States learned and practiced the j real meaning of co-operation or commu- c nlty service, and In many Instances the people of a town or village were f brought together In common fellow* ( ship and work for t?e first time In j their experience. That community jspirit Ignited under the forced heat t of war has flamed Into such a steady ; light that the people do not want c to see It extinguished In time of peace. fl As the most effective way to preserve g and perpetuate this community spirit, there are hundreds of plans consummated and In the making, to have the war memorials erected assume the form of community buildings, where all of the people can meet together for music, art, and social service. Tablets, flags, war trophies and all the other mementoes of war, will be provided, but In addition, there will be o facilities for public gatherings and the keeping up of that close co-operation of all the people, so successfully start- . ed during the war. ' Salvia. ? The scarlet sage, or scarlet salvia, I Is a standard bedding plant that keeps I the garden bright with color until late In autumn. This plant lends Itself to many uses; it makes a good pot plant, ? does well in window boxes, and Is ' useful for cutting, to give color. Its commonest use, however, Is as a hedge or border plant, giving long broad ? bands of vivid scarlet. On account of 1 Its very striking color, caution needs to be observed In using It In this way. ? -. ? J i- 11 Q It can be most effectively useu iu smuuu clumps among or against mosses of ' green.

But it soon quits cotton and moves to woolen fabrics, where It lingers longest, since the great majority of manufactured t Regulation Sw bathing suits are mnde of wool. Finally the story takes up silks, where beauty of material, decorative features and clever construction occupy the thoughts of designers who deal with such inspiring things as taffeta, silk Jersey and moire. Regulation swimming suits, like those illustrated, do not differ much. The knitting mills turn them out In many colors and weaves, varying them In little details, as In the shape of the neck opening, length of the sleeves and methods of decoration.
