N Y EDNA EGAN.
OW is the tints for lovers of th
0hy wild flowers to Invade th
haunts of Nature and bear awa,
the lively blossomsl to make a will
garden. You can successfullly tralls
plant wild floewer if the proper soi
awaits them. They must also he prop
erly shaded, for thPes children of till
woodland deptlhs do not thrive in Ihl
brilliapt sunlight.
The perfect location for a wild gar
den is a stIltl! ltook bordering
grove of trees, so Ihat thei garden wil
accommodate the flowers that require
sunshine as well as those wthich thrivw
in the shade
To prepare the soil for a wild gar
den, dig out tihe earth to a depth o'
one foot and sp;read over the botton'
a layer of broulen shells and ashes it
of clay to a depth of three inches
Over this place good soil and leaves
and fill up the remaining space with
rich leaf mold from the woods or
florists'.
Should the hoil be Itattlrally heavy
and rich, add several inches of leaf
mold and allow stones to abountd.
The flower gardenl should he raised
two inches above the surrountding soil.
When the season for clealning lp ar.
rives, never retlove tlhe dead leaves.
In the wild garden call be used
such beautiful plants as bloodroot,
hepatica, violet, spring beautty, jack
in-the-pulpit, false solomon's seal, co
lumbi.e, honeysuckle, laurel, anemone,
flags, rhododiedron, queen's lace and
other varieties.
Columbines belong to the wild gar
den rather than to the cultivated bor
ders, where they are sometlnlmx I.ed.
The yellowish redl hells produllo :
beautiful effect wlhen Itasaged in otI
spot.
One of the leveliest of th \\ild
Plants is the brilliant oralge milk
weed. This will grtw and flower
tagnificeintly in rather dry, sterile
soil, exposed to the tsun. 'lThe larg
yellow primroses also thrive in al
most any soil.
Some nurserymen sell packages of
wild flower seeds which can be scat
tered in the wild garden, bqt after
ward sonit of the seedlings will have
to be transplanted.
Jack-in-the-pulpit will thrive in dry
or damp soil where it is shady. Visit
the woods as cotn as the weather pr
mite and dig up lhg plants before
they are very high above the soil. In
fact, all the wild plants should be
transferred to your garden while they
are yet young. If you follow this
suggestion, the plants will blossom in
your garden the first year.
The shrubs, suchtt as laurel, honey.
suckle and rhododendron, lthould be
transplanted to the wild garden in
the fall if you do not wish to retard
their growth. All sun~lgler long you
can lave a wealth of bloom in the
wild garden if you arrange it propf
erly.
Wltb June comes the red weed lily,
sanet.tu , flags lady slipper, day lily,
bereamot, yarrow, butterfly weed and
rhododendron.
Jtly's blossoms are meadow hue,
jewel weed, Queen's lace, bouncing
bet, eareti4 loVer, tiger lily, wild
phlo anad iwewtow aweet.

P ne s 1 a4 have clubs, soaietks,
little aroupe of friends,. all te
bendouly1 linterested in their work,
who canme togetber to talk about it.
Women who write like to talk to oth
er literary people. A man smokes
With ner Alf man and closes new
deals or thinks up new ones.
A busitase girl has little time at
her own ditpoeal. She can't hunt up
a congejial soul on the first sunny
afterno lk take a walk on the bluffs
by thealake, in the clear, crisp air,
have a good talk and come back re
tfreshed. She would love to, but she
can't ahord it,
she has her lpesoAal friends, but
they are not oftep eonversant with her
conditions and work, Nevertheless,
there are many timen when she needs
dltaussoln of her work, a general
clearing up of her mind and inspira
tion.
Aren't there a good many timues
when you are tired at night and no
one knows Just what Ip wrong? When
you would like to talk shout your
troubles with some cone who would
underetanld Perheps, then, the next
thing wouldn't be so hard.
I think that the "next step" in the
directioni of some sort of co-opera
tion and hgptulnells among business
I wo'Ken in the printed word.
SulnelSl is opening more and more
wdely 4e womel, It is a strenuous
life for even the girl who takes it
lightly, Perhaps you come from the
country, where there was no chance
to do the things you wanted to do:
or maybe you are a citt girl, with a
pleasant home, or a room in a board
ing house, Your business problems
are prraoteally the same, but your
background is different,.
Sometimes we are ep busy in busi
ness that we forget to remember the
warm, sunlit hill that wougd pp the
road between the trees, or the smell
of the bread as your nmother took It
out of the oven, or the blase of a
cheerful wood fire on a winter night.
The dear; hoaely things are what we
forgot and it is the memory of them
that we ueed most when we work all
Sina for our living.
Perbylp, if you will help, we can
rq;nenmbhr together, and work out
Coec of the little problems that per
pley us as business women.
