There is no sharp dividing line be tween Spring and Summer, but one of the infallible signs of the coming of the opulent season is the blooming of the pokeweed. For the pokeweed comes of a family chiefly tropical— and looks it. with its curious big leaves, its white flowers in a long spike and the purplish color that suf fuses stem, leaves and fruit. If ever you wish to vary your diet with something new, try eating poke-| weed at the proper season, it makes' excellent greens, more delicate far. than spinach, and certainly tickling to i any palate jaded by the familiar. It should be eaten while it is very young both - because it is then most tender : and because later on it is poisonous, j Rather severe cases of poisoning are on record due to eating pokeweed too late in the season. One does not eat oysters in a month with no R, and similarly there is a | way to tell when pokeweed is past its . price. When the first signs of a pur- 1 plish hue begin to flush the early green of the stem, the plant is turn ing inedible. Presently this dark poison will rise like a tide --J suf fuse the entire plant. Pokeweed berries, which are a beau tiful, dark, purple-black, are specially! ornamental toward the Fall of the ! year, and many a commonplace Mary- [ land and Virginia roadside or cow j pasture do they make beautiful. It is well, however, to point them' out : to children, if you have any: and 1 toll them they are poisonous, because ! the berries so closely resemble some edible kinds and look so prettily tempt - j Ing that any unwarned child might easily eat them. The root of the ! pokeweed is poisonous at all times of year. Buttermilk Scones. These need three pints of flour mix ed with one teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful of sugar and two-thirds teaspoonful of salt, then sifted. Ruh In three tablespoonfuls of shortening and mix to a soft dough with fresh buttermilk. Turn onto a floured board, roll an inch thick, cut in triangles and place slightly apart on a greased pan. Brush the tops with sweet milk and bake In a quick oven.

If you for knou-lcdire ever yearn. Ask questions: it's the way to learn —Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit, having learned from ! Digger the Badger about Grubby the i Gopher, immediately became curious about Seek Seek the Spermophile, commonly called Ground Squirrel. Spermophile means eater of seeds. Digger the Badger had smacked his lips as he had exclaimed, “Give me Seek Seek tlie* Ground Squirrel every 1 time in preference to Grubby Gopher." i It made Peter shiver a little to hear him smack his lips that way. He knew * r> ' HK TS JUST AS MUCH A MEMBER OF THE SQUIRREL. FAMILY AS TS STRIPED CHIPMUNK. i that Digger was thinking of good din i ners he had had in the long ago. “How did you use to catch Striped Chipmunk's cousin?" Peter inquired. Digger grinned. He held up one of ‘ his hands, showing the long, stout i claws. “By digging,” said he, “when I couldn’t catch him by surprise. We I certainly have had some great digging j matches, those Ground Squirrels and !I. They are good diggers, but so ! am I." “Then how comes it.” said Peter, : “that you never have dug Striped i Chipmunk out?”' i “For a very good reason—a most ex i cellent reason.” replied Digger. “1 j have too much respect for my claws.” ! Peter looked puzzled. He was puz i zled. He scratched a long ear with a i long hind foot. He. scratched the other j long ear with the other long hind ' foot. He would have scratched both long ears with both long hind feet if he could have. But he couldn't, so he asked a question. You know Peter is i great on asking questions. "What is the matter with your claws that you can't dig out Striped Chipmunk?" he !asked. "Nothing is the matter with my claws, but I'm afraid something would be the matter with them if I started digging out Strtped Chipmunk.” "I don't see why,” protested Peter, looking more and more puzzled. "Because." replied Digger, “Striped I Chipmunk makes his home in rocky j ground. He knows quite well that'he is safe there. Now his cousin, out where I came from, Seek Seek the Ground Squirrel, dug right in the open where it was honest digging. There were no stones there, so sometimes It was fun to dig for him. You know that little rascal has pockets in his cheeks just the same as Striped Chip munk. I've heard him called a Gopher, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, 0. C., SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925. 1 1 1 but, of course, he really isn't. He ; shouldn’t even be called a Gopher I Squirrel because he isn't even related i to the Gophers. He is just as much a | member of the Squirrel family as is Striped Chipmunk.” ■ 1 “I know.” replied Peter, “since you • j told me about Grubby Gopher I have remembered that Danny Meadow Mouse met a Gopher down in the Sunny South where he one time spent i the Winter. He told me all about him. and T guess he was a Gopher all right, hut down there they call him a Sala mander. Names don't mean anything, anyway. They call my big cousin Jumper the Hare the Snowshoe Rab bit. and he isn't a rabbit at all. He is a Hare. Do you know that. Mr. Badger?" Digger didn't reply. Instead he changed the subject. "By the way." said he, "speaking of your big cousin Jumper the Hare and of wrong names, you have a big cousin out where I catne from, and they call him a Rab bit. They call him Jack Rabbit." “I know.” interrupted Peter, "I’ve heard about him. He is own cousin to Jumper the Hare and isn't a Rabbit at all. He is just as much a Hare as Jumper is. Have you ever seen him, Mr. Badger?” “Have I ever seen him?” exclaimed Digger. "I should say I have. How that fellow can jump." (Copyright. 1926.) HOW IT STARTED ;i BY JEAN NEWTON. Our Right-Handedness. 1 This may sound like another of j those perplexing posers propounded ■by l'enfant terrible. But does not ; everything in nature point to right i handedness as an artificially acquired I habit rather than a congenital physi j cal peculiarity? There is nothing in animal life to I show why, of two perfectly matched ! limbs, we should choose to use one j almost to the exclusion of the other, 1 jor why the right should be uncon j sciously trained to have more strength I and practically all the dexterity. So long has man been right-handed j that he has become almost right-sided. ; If you take the trouble to observe you j will see that involuntarily he puts for j ward his right foot in starting to run; ' and you can always hop more easily : and longer on the right than on the j left. If the non-com’s “left-right” does ! not resound to the en'd of the line he > will probably have half of his march ! ers out of step, because those who do * not hear will start "right.” We are hight-handed because early in man’s fighting career, which goes i back as far as Adam and Eve, it was ! discovered that the heart is the most | vulnerable part of the body and that j injury to it, of all organs, is fatal. Therefore every warrior aiming at his ; adversary's left breast, which, of ' course, was directly opposite his right hand, held his bow and arrow to his I right shoulder, hurled Javelins with his right hand, and with mace, battle ax or sword fenced against the . shields held over the region of his ; adversary's heart.

A S~"'' ~ a yZA, N C-g t- I f-J K- WA. >— K LAWN UMBRELLAS. READY' MADE OR INGENIOUSLY IMPROVISED, PROVIDE WELCOME SHADE AND GIVE AN ATMOSPHERE OF FESTIVITY' TO SIMPLE OUT-OF-DOOR PLEASURES. The desire that seizes people to live j out-of-doors as much as possible in the Summertime is responsible for | many conveniences and contrivances to further this end. Some of them i are distinctly for lawns, while others ; are for the beach, yet their uses need I not be confined to their original pur- « poses. It is the adapting of articles i to iiarticular necessities, and making | them appear as if so intended, that j continually seems to be the part of a ; home-maker. It exercises her in- j genuity often, and is by no means a disagreeable task. We find some adapting important when we come to providing comfortable seats and nooks for enjoying lawns, especially those that* have little shade. For children there is nothing much better than a small tent which can be set up directly over the grass or over a platform constructed of pine hoards well planed to Insure against splinters. While matched boards are nicest, they i are not actually needed, by any means. Even the top of a large packing box may be used! Tents for Children. Whatever the flooring, it should be raised somewhat from the ground. All that Is necessary is to nail a couple of 1 strips of boards, 4x4 or 4x6 inches in j depth and thickness, and the length of : the platform, to the under side. These should, of course, be nailed across the i boards forming the platform, so that each board is secured to these posts. : Rest the platform when made on the ground, bracing it with wedges or stones to make the floor plumb and steady. With such a platform founda tion the little folk can use the tent more than when It is erected directly over the grass. The floor will be dry in rainy and showery weather. Awning Umbrellas. i The large awning umbrellas dress 1 up a lawn delightfully. They serve, the double use of decoration and conv Great Care Required With Knickers BY MARY MARSHALL. Well-dressed women realize that | knickerbockers must, if worn at all. 1 be worn with great care. Otherwise I they look dowdy and “tacky.” Just , ] that. j Every roadside in the Summer | i offers a good example of how j knickers ought not to lie worn. The hikers are out and some of them 1 (^f) '' ! \j i LiA r7 \ M i FOR HIKING AND MOUNTAIN i CLIMBING, SUIT OF GABAR ! DINE OR COTTON COVERT. | i THE KNICKERS HAVE BUT- I TONED CUFFS. GOLF STOCK- | INGS, LEATHER BOOTS AND | BROADCLOTH SHIRT IN i BRIGHT COLOR ARE WORN I WITH IT. i wear silk stockings and strapped i pumps, comfortable because they are well worn and quite old, not because they were originally designed for i country walking. Then there’s a georgette overblouse, perhaps, and last Spring fuchsia-colored felt hat. or maybe no hat at all. Such a get-up : is trying to any woman. The trouble with knickerbockers, j fort. These come with and without I table standards. If you have an old j carriage umbrella canopy you can ! adapt it to lawn purposes. Perhaps 1 the easiest way to do this is to drive ; a piece of pipe into the ground far ! enough to be firm when the handle of i the umbrella is thrust down the hole j in the top of the pipe, and the um j brella is opened. To further secure such an improvised lawn umbrella. ; ropes may be fastened to some of the : ribs and to staples driven in the j ■ ground as for tent fastenings. Vnder I such an awning, whether the ready- ! to-put-up sort or the ingeniously \ home-fashioned style, it is possible I thoroughly to enjoy the cup of after- | noon tea, to read with the air gently blowing about you or perhaps to j breakfast in its welcome shade. If i you have a steamer chair or one of I those with canvas instead of cane j seating, that are made on the same j principle, you may be privileged to en- ■ joy a siesta also. Adapting Canvas Cliair. Some of these canvas chairs come j ! with awning extension tops. These are really beach chairs, but are ex jcellent for lawns as well, it is not ( hard to add these awning portions to ; chairs of this sort that do not come with thi strip of awning j cloth the width of the chair and use I the width of the canvas for the length :of the awning. When measuring for : the width strip before buying allow : generously for seams. Tack the awn : ning to the top wooden strip of the 1 , uhuir. Run a curtain stick or a strip j of wood about that size, through the i | other end that has been hemmed. This l can sliji into crotches made in the ends j 1 of other strips of wood screwed to the j j chair for awning supports. If a strip of wide tape is stitched across the I awning near the end for the stick to I i run through, and the canvas is tin i ished with the usual fancy curved | | edge, the chair will be a good Veproduc tion of those one buys. J doubtless, was that as soon as women got used to the idea of wearing them i at all, they found it too easy to ] wear them for a general all-day attire i when off on an informal holiday. For sports wear, however, the}' J have retained prestige only forcer- ! tain definite purposes. At most of i the country clubs women would not ’ think of wearing them for golf, and I it is amusing to think that any woman ! ever did appear on the tennis court j in them. But for mountain climbing ! and hiking they still retain their 1 correctness. And as part of a well j considered mountain costume knickers j carry with them much smartness. Never, never should they be worti 1 with silk stockings or thin stockings j of any sort. If your legs ai;e quite slender you may wear ribbed’woolen stockings or heavy ribbed lisle stock ings if you prefer them. Otherwise you are wise to wear some sort of puttee or high boots. The mountain climber shown in the •ketch wears knickers with buttoned cuffs, golf stockings and leather hoots that lace at the front. With these knickers, which may be had in gabar dine or covert, goes a straight norfoik 1 Jacket of the same material and a cotton broadcloth shirt in some bright mlor. 5 . Cheese Dressing. Make three-fourths ,o< a cup of heavy French dressing, seasoning it well. Mash two tablespoonfuls of fresh Roquefort cheese, using a little of the' dressing, until it is like a cream, then add it to the rest of the ingredients and turn the dressing over hearts of lettuce that have been stuffed with some savory mixture where the midrib was removed. Chop- j ped pineapple with a little of the ! cheese well seasoned makes a good stuffing with two stoned olives and a bit of red pepper chopped in it. This is a pretty salad and one that is liked by most people. My Neighbor Says: When floors are dirty, wipe them with a cloth, wrung out of lukewarm water to which a little kerosene has been added, turning the cloth as it gets s<iiled. Then let dry and after ward polish with beeswax and turpentine mixed so thin that it can he shaken up in a bottle. If you do not possess a minc ing machine, cut the suet or meat into small pieces, then sprinkle with flour. Take a roll ing pin and roil firmly, then chop, roll and chop again. Man aged in this way, either meat or suet will chop quite easily. Always save twine and brown j paper. They will be at hand' when required. In a well regu lated house there should always be a drawer where brown and other thick paper are to be found. Roll up pieces of string separately so that the necessary thicknesses can be picked out at a glance. Sweet oil will remove finger • marks from varnished furniture and kerosene from oiled furni ture. kittle Bennys| | Note Book It was kind of damfi outside yes tidday but It wasent quite raining, and I started to go out with my cap under my blouse so nia wouldent have the trubble of being worried . about the weather on my account, but she saw me enyways, saying, Benny Potts dont tell me your even thinking of leeving the house on suteh a day as this.

The planetary aspects of tumor- ! j row. while not exceptionally favor- : j able, are benign, and by no means j adverse. The signs clearly denote that it is not a propitious oppor- j ! tunity for accomplishing big things, as the urge will be noticeably lack- i ing. On Sunday, however, such a condition is not. as a rule, to be re- ! gretted. so long as the indications point to, as they do tomorrow, an at mosphere of peace, self-satisfaction and contentment. In the evening the vi- j brations are neither exhilarating nor stimulating and self-control will be needed in order to avoid an unchari- . table attitude to those around you 'and a pessimistic view of things in j general. A child born tomorrow will, if the ' signs are read aright, go through life without any physical troubles of any ! importance. It will be healthy. I vivacious and strong, and. at all times, be impatient of restraint. To subjects of study which interest it, never tiring energy and application will be devoted, while it will have to be cajoled into learning those j things which may be considered 1 | necessary, by wiser and older heads. ; for its education, but which may be ! thought of little value by the wis ! dotn of untutored youth. Force will accomplish nothing with this child, except to harden its character and rob it of its inherent sweetness. Rea- j soiling will do much. Great love and affection will do still more. If tomorrow is your birthday your j energy is tireless and much of it, as a result of lack of systematization of thought, is useless. If you would. ! figuratively speaking, card index your ideas and carefully plan your iactions, you would cease going around in circles and be able to accomplish something worth while. Your imag ination is vivid, but you do not ; possess that sens*; of practicability which enables you to make your dreams come true. You are fond of travel and always find indoors irk some. Your place is out of doors, and, if engaged in a sedentary occu pation, you cannot and will not work to the best of your ability. Your love is deep-seated and con stant and you demand for your happi ness an adequate and a demonstra tive reciprocity of affection. (Copyright. 1926.) Corn Chowder.

DOROTHY DEWS LETTER BOY i Must Couple Join Gay Club Crowd in Keep Fronj (Getting- in Rut? —Will Deserted Wife bind Happiness by Taking Husband Back? / R MISS DIX: My husband and I are a young marripd couple \\ r have a pretty, well-furnished home that we are paying for, a, nice car that is paid for and we enjoy staying at home more than we do running around. But our friends tell us that we should join a lot of social clubs the> belong to, that of evenings we should doll up and go to their parties and dances, and that we are settling down and getting old too soon What d" you think about it? Should we get in the crowd and go with them? Perhap we are getting into a rut and don’t know it. MARY. • Answer: If you are in a rut. Mary, it is a mighty safe one. and one that has been worn by the wheels that have rolled on to success. Stay in it A very wise old banker told me once that at the end of the first year of married life he couid tell with almost absolute certainty whether a couple would be well off and independent when they were old. or whether by the time they were 60 they would have to go and live with their children, lie said that at the end of the first year, if a young couple had saved up even as much as SIOO they were headed toward prosperity: hut that if they had not saved a cent, they would he the sort of people who always lived front hand to mouth and are doomed to poverty. Now. no young married couple, with the man earning the average salat and no rich parents to help them, can possibly afford to belong to social clubs and spend their evenings in going to parties. It takes money for clothe money for refreshments, money for club dues, money to play cards even when the. stakes are low. There is nowhere else w here you can spend an evenin as cheaply as in your own home. And besides money, it takes time and energy and health, that are. quite las important to save as are the dollars. No man who is out dancing until 1 or 2 o’clock in the morning can compete in business the next day with the man who spent his evening by his own fireside and went to Vied at 11. Besides this. Mary, we are all the creatures of habit. We can get in the habit of running around, so that we are restless and dissatisfied if we are no* going somewhere and doing something peppy every evening. Or we can acquire the home-staying habit and learn to find our happiness in quiet pleasures, in music, in good books, in the society of those we love. And you do not need to be told that the home keeping habit is the best habit for any man and woman. Os course. I do not mean by this that you should become hermits. Far from it. We need the society of our fellow creatures. We need to go to places of amusement. We need good plays, and good music, and good movies, and parties now and then, but we need these things in moderation. Go out when you feel like it. but do not get the club mania. Many a young couple have had their domestic happiness and their chances in life clubbed to death. ■ DOROTHY DIX. • * * * T~\EAR MISS DIX: If a man deserts a good wife for a bad woman is tic wife justified in taking him back? Does a man love the woman he deserts his wife for? What happiness is in store for a deserted wife if she does take her husband back? Would not the wretched past be ever present with the wife in spite of her trving to forget? And can one forgive and nci forget? A DESERTED WIFE Answer: Every woman must be a law unto herself as to whether she I takes back the husband who has deserted her or not. I do not think that she has any duty to him or is under any obligation to him. When he broke hi* marriage vows he absolved her from hers. As a general thing, the patched-up marriage is a miserable make j shift, and I think that the woman whose husband has betrayed her and gone i off with another woman would have a better chance for happiness if she le’ | that end the matter then and there; if she made a clean break with the pas’ j and started a new life on a new basis. Os course, when there are children, that might alter the status of th° i case, for the man might have money, or be a money-maker, and could give I the children advantages that the mother could not give them. Many women cannot even support their children: and as a mother's j paramount duty is to the children she has brought into the world, she must j secure their wellbeing at any cost to herself. Also, there are women so | obsessed by their love of men that they are happier with them, knowing them i to be unfaithful, than they would be apart. It is certainly reasonable to suppose that the man loves the woman he deserts his wife for, since he forfeits his honor, the respect of his fellow met and gives up his home, and often his children, for her. T do not think that there is much happiness in store for the deserted ! wife who takes her husband back. She can never trust him again. She can never feel anything but a contempt for him. and the shadow of the othc" woman will always be between them. There is no such thing as forgiving and forgetting. We can forgive those who injure us to the extent of no! wishing them any harm or desiring any revenge upon them. We can even lie glad to know that they are well and fortunate, but we can never forge* the evil they have done us and we can never feel again toward them as w< did before. That is an utter impossibility.

(Copyright. 1925, by C. C. Powell. All property nphts reserved.* | Fruit Combination. “Before we take up the plumcot. Mr. [ Burbank, may I ask a little more j about the wild plum?" “As I said, the wild plum trees grew j j in regions where its fruit was exposed j I to animals and men, and it was obliged j Ito produce at great expense a hard j ! shell to protect its precious seed from ! destruction. The dangers to which the j fruit was exposed were not only ani- I mals. but probably adverse climatic conditions sucli as drought and ex treme cold." “My next question is. how do you account for a single wild species of plum having only a partial protective 1 seed covering when all the rest of the I family have a hard stone covering?” “It is without doubt due.” said Mr. I ' Burbank, “to a lack of proper food j ’[substances in the soil of some i>articu- i i j lar locality where this dwarfed variety j j grew, and the stone which manic such ! ! a heavy draft on building material j could not be produced. | “This is just as eggshells are thin ! when lime is lacking in the food of ' j the hen or as the bones of a human i j child do not develop normally when i the child is not properly nourished.” “Thank you. Now we can go on to ; | plumcots, that wonder of the fruit ! ! world,” I proposed. "The plumcot is in every sense a I new fruit, for it was the result of j crossing the plum with the apricot. [ two somewhat widely separated 1 species, and a new plant was nroduced | wholly different from either of the , parent forms. "The experiment was at first not j successful, but finally from some cross- I bred seedlings of a Japanese plum | and the common apricot a hybrid was j produced with the required combina- ! tion. From this by selection, from its j seedlings, fine new fruits were pro- 1 duced which were neither plum nor I apricot, but which were found to be j a fruit of a brand-new species. It j was therefore named the plumcot. “There was great variation in the ! root and foliage, the stones, the ap pearance and flavor of the fruit, but | 'as time went on quality, productive j actual color of your skin as you car ! get it.
