There is Real Humor in Gardening
If You’ll Only Look For It
Spring, the Season When Everybody Wants to Plant Things.
The City Gardener and the Suburban Farmer Both Get
j}USy_How One Man Made a Success of What Was
Considered An Impossible Proposition
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE
"Dill you know that potato peelings
fan be planted and potatoes raised from
them?" asked Mr. Toblots the other day,
who. as all his friends know, has gone
"daffy" about his new suburban honied
"I've heard of planting tomato cans and
raising tomatoes al! canned and ready for
use." I answered foolishly.
Mr. Joblots looked hurt.
"i’m serious," said he. "It's the truth.
You can plant potato parings and they’ll
grow just as good as pieces of potato cut
out around each eye, which is the usual
manner of planting for potato growing.
That's not the only thing I’m finding out
since I’ve begun to farm.”
"He swelled with great prhle as he said
this, and I promptly observed:
"I didn’t know you had a place big
enough to farm on.”
“That's a popular fallacy,” Mr. Joblots

It s only 50x130 feet, and the only thing

Taylorville, N. C.—In an interesting

Bowman writes as follows: "Aly
mother was weak and run down, and
was In bed for nine weeks. She was
not able to do any of her work.
Some lady told her about Cardul, the
woman s tonic. She decided to try It,
and, after taking three bottles was
able to do all of her household w-ork.
You may publish this letter if you
wish,- as It would bp a great pleasure
to me to know that I have been of help
to some suffering woman ."
The best way to relieve womanly
troubles, pains, headaches, backache,
etc., is to help nature by taking Cardul.
Cardul lias not only been found of
great assistance in relieving, the nujst .
serious cases of womanly trouble, but I
has also proven Itself an Ideal i
strength-building tonic for weak, tired,

Cardul is successful, because it Is

and build up health and strength In a
natural manner. It Is strictly a wom

Fifty years’ success In relieving

that Cardul should help you, too.

afraid those things didn’t go all tlie way
through to China, although 1 sent them
in that direction."
"What an awful foundation for a gar
den," 1 remarked.
“Oh, there was plenty of rock—half
rotted that might have come from an an
tedeluviap mine,” said Mr. Joblots, “and
all the cast off material that the builders
had discarded when they’d finished the
house. Those are things, though, that
you expect when you buy property that
way. But that didn’t discourage me in
the least. I was there to have a garden
and have one 1 would even if in my dig
gings about I discovered burled beneath
the earth, an upright piano or a Chippen
dale sideboard.”
“Of course, the fic^t year," Mr. Joblots
told me, "1 didn't have a ghost of a show

ground and do a lot of preliminaries and
In the gullies I only planted beans anl
peas, which tlie cows enjoyed, and a lit

real pleasures of that summer, the pet I

grow and if I'd been the onions that shot I
up I’d have been ashamed to have shown i
my face, but onions will do most *an> j
thing. At the end of the first summer I
was almost ready to give up. T dug up1
all the things that were left, and boughi
several wagon loads of fertilizer, and sat l
back all winter and calmly waited for
spring to come."
“And then?" I interfupted.
"My clothes were soaked in perspira
tion from the first day of April up to the
last day of October," Mr. Joblots told me.
“1 had the time of my life. I got a boy
to help me wrork and plant the garden,
who knew all about such things, and
when one of my friends came out one
Sunday to see me, and after looking the
situation oveV, told me I was an idiot to
try to raise Lima beans on solid rock, I
promptly got a spade and turned up a
lot of rich, black dirt, and showed him
how beautifully they were sprouting. J
told him 1 mean to grow vegetables light
through that sub-strata of stuff—that
heterogeneous conglomeration of every
body’s debris, and right through rock,
slate, tin and all. At least I thought I
had a dependable foundation to hold the
plants dowm."
“What else did you plant besides beans
and peas?" 1 asked, very much amused
at Mr. Joblots' story of the garden which
seemed quite too original to lose by a
'premature ending. »
“I’d rather tell you how* much I spent
on implements." said he.
"All right," I agreed. "I want all the
documents in evidence."
"I bought S3 worth of tools." said Mr.
Joblots, proudly, "consisting of a hoe,
a rake, a mattock, a steel fork, a com
bination digging and forking tool, and
a dwarf set of garden tools. I almost
forgot the pick handle. I found an old
pick In the debris, and only had to buy
a handle for it. I got ail the seed I
needed for 11.10, and potato and onion sets
were only 50 cents more. The hired boy
required another investment of $3 a week,
and with his astuteness I planted on the
little lot four grape vines to begin with
and 10 rows of lima beans: a 50 foot row*
of early peas and 30 foot row of late
peas; a 30 foot row* of snap beans; three
hills of watermelons, a lied of beets, tur
nips, radishes* and a bed of onions; four
50 foot rows of potatoes and a bed of
parsley 10 feet square."
"A 10 foot bed of parsley!" I gasped.
"That’s enough parsley to season all the
soup and salad in the world."
"I sold every *q>rlg that I raised that i
summer," said Mr. Joblots. "It was the
best money making investment I had. This
summer I will have that same bed of
parsley, and I’m also going to have some
thing I didn't have last summer—two rows
of sweet corn the entire length of the
lot. I have lettuce planted in the frame*
that I made for my wife’s violets and the
violets have been transplanted to a shel
tered spot elsewhere. Another thing I'm
going to have is a celery bed* Celery
grows in muck, you know', and I’m raking
nlI muck down to one end of the garden
and fixing things so that all the drain
age of the garden will go that way
What's that—I’m a niuckraker? Yes, cer
tainly I am. And a mud slinger, too, if
you will. You ought to have seen me
slinging it around getting ready to plant
strawberries. Besides all this, I’m going
to have some fine cantelopes and egg
plant."
"That's some garden." I said slangily.
"I never heard of such a crazy quilt com
bination on such a little plgce of ground."
"I haven’t told you all yet," said Mr.
Joblots. "We’ve got 50 chrysanthemum
plants and lots of roses, and nasturtiums
by the wholesale, which by the way hap
pen to be the only things that ever came
up out of 57 varieties of seed that Cncle
Sam sent me. Come out and see us and
witness for yourself what an up to date
farmer <an do on 50 by 150 fe**t in the
suburbs. Mrs Joblots will be glad to
give you any other information that you
want."
I’m going to get Mrs. Joblots’ side of
that garden story. I dare say it will be
quite different, especially about that part
concerning how Mr. Joblots gets tip at
5 o'clock in the morning to watch the
celery sprout ami dig*! up the com to see
how much it has grown since yesterday.

THE MARRIAGE OF MISS MARY WARE AND
' MR. J, J. ASBURY BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Afternoon Teas—Luncheons—Other Social Topics—Among the Hostesses—Birmingham Wom
en Entertained in Washington—Mrs. William Jennings Bryan a Hostess for Mrs.
Tomlinson—Other Notes »
- I...
T< •* marriage of Miss Mary Ware and
Mr. Joseph Jefferson Asbut^’ was a bril
liant event of last evening, taking place
at the home of the bricfe’s mother, Mrs.
Benjamin Leon Wyman, on Highland ave
nue at 8:30 o’clock.
The guests included several hundred
friends of the family, an essemblage con
spicuous in its representation of the best
and most exclusive of social life in Bir
mingham. The guests gathered while an
orchestra, seated behind screening palms
and foliage .massed in the rear of the re
ception hall, played a beautiful pro
gramme of nuptial music. The decorative
appointments were superb. Not only the
rooms but the verandas were embowered
in white and softly tinted blossoms, and
foliage was distributed in tlie most ex
quisite .taste.
The altar was arranged in the large al
cove of the reception hall, where so often
during other entertainments in this de
lightful home a bower of blossoms and
greenery lias proved the piece de resist
ance in a cleverly planned scheme. Smilax
was used in profusion here, and at either
side great palms raised their broad leaves
to form a high background of green.
White roses in tall standards matched
the pure white of the double rowr of white
tapers high at, the back and luxurious
clusters of pink hydrangeas hinted at the
French motive so gracefully used through
out the bridal arrangement of pink, brae,'
green and white. White roses bloomed
across the mantel, and in this apartment
and in the library back of it, snowballs
and dogwood blossoms in wide-mouthed
vases helped to make it an ideal spring
wedding.
The dining room had an abundance of
white roses and lilies of the valley. On
the table, which was one of the loveliest
ever seen at a Birmingham wedding, a
broad centerpiece of orange blossoms,
orchids ami lilies of the valley made a
truly bridal motif. The drawing room
was garnished with quantities of pink
roses and sweet peas. This and all of the
other rooms had canvas stretched across
the floors, and the veranda was inclosed
in canvas, which converted It into a de
lightfully cozy parlor, with big snowball
blossoms nodding from vasess on the tables
among big easy chairs. An ice table was
placed in the library.
In the details of the wedding the French
blue introduced into a couleur de rose and
white made a novel and effective cos
tume for the young w'omen of the party.
As the 'processional was played the two
pretty flower girls, Miss Josephine Evans
and Miss Margaret Moore, advanced from
the stairway and held the broad white
ribbons to makd an aisle to the altar.
Mr. George Yancey, Mr. Robert D. Curry,
Mr. John Matthews and Mr. James Ware,
the* bride’s brother, were tlie groomsmen,
descending the stairway with the party
alternately as bridesmaids and matrons
entered.
Miss Martha Robinson of Richmond and
Miss Marianne Hamilton were the brides
maids, and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie Ram
say and Mrs. Otto II. Folley of Sumter,
S. C., were matrons of honor. They
were a pretty and patrician quartet of
young women in their while lace gowns
and tlte alternate blue and pink of their
quaint ribbons. Their flowers were large
clusters of white lilacs and pink roses.
Miss Elizabeth Wyman, the young sls
tetU-Bf the bride, was her maid of honor.
She was attired for the wedding in
shadow laces and a sash of blue ribbon,
and she, too, carried white lilacs ami
pink roses.
Miss Ware was given in marriage by
Dr. Wyman, and when she slowly de
scended the stair to meet Mr. Asbury u»
he approached the altar with his best
man, Mr. Stanley Woodw'ard of New^York,
there w’as a murmur of admiration from
the guests who gathered close to hear the
vows, for she never looked more lovely.
The hand embroidered chiffon draperies
of her white charmeuse gown, the grace
ful arrangement of the duchess lace
w'hieh embellished iw added distinction to
the slender beauty of this charming bride,
and her veil, shirred into a cap, caught
about her head with a cornet of orange
blossoms, gave an additional becoming
ness to a perfect costume. Site carried
a bouquet of lilies and orchids. A beau
tiful marriage service was read by the
Rev. Matthew Barnwau, rector of the
Church of the Advent, and a reception
followed.
Dr .and Mrs. Wyman stood with Mr.
and Mrs. Asbury as congratulations were
showered upon them. Mrs. Wyman looked
beautiful. Her gown was in the rose
tint, which she w'ears to such advantage
now that her hair is becoming silvered.
A crystal robe was fashioned over the
rose foundation, and her corsage bouquet

The tea given by Mrs. Wilson and the

are among tlie bright incidents of the

One of the Washington .dailies had this
notice:
"Miss Goode, the daughter of Mis.
Rhett Goode, state regent of Alabama,
and Bryan Tomlinson, son of the late
John Tomlinson of Alabama, were the
special guests of Secretay of State Wil
liam Jennings Bryan at the opening ses
sion yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Bryan is,a warm personal friend of
both families. John Tomlinson was for
years prior to his death the Bryan leader
In Alabama. Yesterday Mr. Bryan heard
that Miss Goode and Mr. Tomlinson par
ticularly desired to hear Ids address at
Continental Memorial hall and lie ar
tanged that they be granted a special dis
pensation which would permit their at
tendance at the afternoon session.
Miss Goode was much impressed with
President Wilson. "I have been so de
ceived throtigh Ills pictures.' she saitl, “1
thought lie must be so coldly intellectual,
us to obscure entirely Ids human side. I
was most happily disappointed when I
heard him talk ami saw him smile, he
seemed to come so close to Ids audience
In his brief address, partly through what,
he said, and very largely through the
way lie said it.”

FULLY DECIDED
Anniston Man Has Been Urged to
Make the Race for Lieutenant
Governor of State
Anniston. April 17.—(Special.)—State Sen
ator Thomas E. Kilby, who has just re
turned from an extended absence from
the jclty, during which time he visited
Panama, Central and South American |
cities, and spent several weeks in New
York city, remains non-committal In re
gard to his proposed race for torn lieu
tenant governorship,^although lie states
that he found a number of letters on his
return home from friends who would be
glad to see him enter the campaign.
Several of'fals friends have urged him to
make the race for governor, believing
that in view of the excellent record he
has established as a business man and
as a lawmaker in the last legislature, and
as twice mayor of Anniston, he would
stand a good show of election. He says,
however, that, even though he knew he
could be elected, his business Interests
would not permit of his assuming the of
fice of governor at the present time.
Mr. Kilby is president of the Anniston
City National bank and of the Kilby Loco
motive and Machine works In this city,
besides the Kilby Frog and Switch com
pany of Birmingham. He says that if lie
tthould make the race he would stand for
a strictly business administration, and
would run on the same platform on which
lie stood in making the race for the state
senate. The chief plank in that platform

Canning Corn on the Cob
‘•J should like to know how to can corn
on the col». Now, it will soon be time for
me to get into readiness for canning. 1
like to know beforehand.
"MRS. S. \Y. C."
As I have said many times, I have no
recipes for which X will vouch for putting
up corn, x have canned corn and toma
toes successfully, and 1 have prepared
an excellent corn relish. I have also re
ceived from correspondents directions for
•yalting down" corn. But I know no way
in which green corn on the cob can be
satisfactorily canned at home.
How to Make Pistachio Ice Cream
“Can you furnish me with a recipe lor!
making pistachio ice cream; also pistachio
nuts? MRS. L. M. S."
You are mistaken in thinking that pis
tachio nuts are a “made dish." They are
a pale green nut resembling an almond
ami may be bought at any grocer's and at
some confectionery stores. To make pis
tachio ice cream blanch a quarter of a
pound of these shelled nuts by pouring
water over them, leaving them in this for
10 minutes, then stripping off the spins.
Dry these nuts well between the folds of
a clean dish towel, then grind to a pow
der. Make an ordinary Ice cream (as for
vanilla ice cream), omitting the flavor
ing, and heat into this the ground nuts,
adding enough green vegetable coloring
to make it the desired shade of green.
Turn into a freezer and freeze.
Recipe for Dutch Apple Cake
“Some time about last fall there was
published in the Corner a recipe for Dutch
apple cake. If you can furnish this recipe
my mother would like to have it, as the
one cut from the paper was lost.
E. A. T."
I do not know to which recipe you refer.
So many directions for making apple cake
have appeared in the Corner from time
to time that I must ask you if you re
member the initials of the person sending
in the special recipe you wish. Perhaps
some of our readers can supply your
want.
Hard Soap From Grease Scraps
“I notice a recipe for hard soap made
from dear grease. Can you publish one
made from scraps of grease.
READER OF YOFR CORNER."
The scraps of grease can be used just
an is the dear grease, but they must be
clarified or “tried out" first. Cover th**|
fat with water and let it boil bard, then |
allow it to cool, and lift off the cake or j
fat from the surface of the water, if
not yet clean, cover with fresh water and j
boil again and set ankle until cold before |
removing the fat. This should be clean. |
The sediment will settle to thg bottom of,
the water.
Recipe for a Good Cake

Recipe for Stewed Tripe
“Will you kindly send me recipes for
cocking tripe and beef heart and lungs
and one for making mayonnaise with oil,
egg, vinegar, or lemon Juice. If too in
convenient, kiqdly publish these in the
Comer. MRS. W. B. K."
t cannot supply you with a recipe for
cooking lungs or lights of beef. Perhaps
1 am-over fastidious, but i fiave never been
able to bring myself to the point of serv
ing or eating “lights” cooked in any form.
You do not mention what recipe for tripe
you wish, but l will give one for stewed
tripe: Cut the tripe into inch squares
and lay in a saucepan. Cover with cold
water, put over the tire, and bring slowly
to a boil. Simmer for four hours, then
pour off the water, and cover with fresh
milk, into which a pinch of baking soda
has been stirred. Simmer gently at the
side of the range for ten minutes, thicken
with a paste of two teaspoons of flour
rubbed into the same quantity of butter.
Season to taste, and just before serving
add gradually the yolk of u beaten egg
and remove from the fire.
To cook stuffed beef's heart, wash and
clean the heart thoroughly and stuff with
a good dressing prepared as for stuffing
a fowl. Pack this in well and sew or tie
the heart up securely. Lay in a roasting
pan. sprinkle with a chopped onion and
a little salt and pepper, and pour a cup
of squp stock over and around it. (’over
and roast until done, then uncover and
brown. Transfer to a hot platter and
thicken the gravy left in the pan and
pour over the heart.
For mayonnaise dressing have all the
Incredients cold. Drop the yolk of an egg
In a soup plate and with a silver fork
begin to stir, adding salad oil gradually,
a drop at a time. As the yolk thickens
add the oil faster until a cupful has be* n
beaten in. Season with a dash of paprika
and salt to taste, and add lemon juice or.
vinegar gradually until the desired degree
of acidity is obtained.

persons. I J*ave one difficulty in my
housekeeping. I never seem to get
through and m.v work does not get done
just when It should. If some one could
help me to systematize or arrange my
work I should be most grateful.
“MRS. J. B. B.”
We are always glad to get a recipe that
the children like, and we thank you for
this one. Many a housekeeper echoes
your plaint with regard to her inability to
systematize her work.
By mail has gone to you the address of
a Cornerlte who has offered to help house
wives by her advice and experience in
managing the many duties that perplex
and weary the woman who is wife,
mother, housekeeper, and maid of all
work.
