The glory of the summer rose garden passes all too quickly. Al- ready stimulation of growth by fertilizers and cultivation in the rose bed should be discontinued. These precautions, the experienced ‘gardener knows, favour the ripen- ing of the wood of the bush, which is necessary for safe wintering. The shoots of the brtar, commonly

o called suckers, which come up from the roots should be out out below the surface, but beyond this the soil had beter not be disturbed until the time arrives for the fall application of manure, which should be delayed until freezing weather is approaching. Unless spraying and dusting have been thoroughly done, plants of some varieties are likely to show disease in the forms of mildew and black spot. 'l‘o combo/t these enemies, the plants should be thoroughly dusted three or four times. at. intervals of one week, with a mixture composed of nine parts of dusting sulphur and one part of arsenate of lead. Such is the advice given in the pamphlet "Fall Work in the Rose Garden" Issued free on request by the Dom- inion Department of Agriculture. ‘Winter protection is also dealt with.

PLAY UP TAN

The woman who takes pride in a coat of tan and is happiest when her skin becomes a golden brown ought to wear colors that enhance her darkened skin.

There's not mum sense in spend- ing hours and using endless prep- arations to get an even coat of tan if you insist on wearing purple or black-molars that tend to make your skin look pale and white. Furthermore, the right shades can make the girl who has had time to acquire only a light tan look browner than she is.

Shades of pink, including rose. coral and dusty as well u clear tones. bring out shiny, flattering brown light. Certain blues, partic- ularly greenish ones and hard, vivid shades, heighten the sun- tanned effect you are trying to create.

Greens are good, providing they

are rather light. White, of course

is the best of all- Nothing is more becoming to tanned skin than white sports. daytime and even- ing frocks. Purple won't do a filing for you and neither will

black or very dark brown. Bctge, lighter brown and lilac, however. are quite nice.

Sunshine addicts ought to strive

for even coats of tan with no light

spots and streaks. If you wear a

halter top on the beach, un-

fasten the ties across the back of your neck to prevent a while space just below your hair-line. Shoulder straps on bathing suits ought to be moved up and down occasionally. Don't wear a, wide» bracelet or wristwatch.

If your evening gowns are out exteremely low scrum the back, see that you skin is tanned down-

ward as far as your waistline. Don't

cover the upper part of your fore-

head with a bandbanna or crown-

less hat. You should be evenly

tanned right up to your hair-

line.

World's Largest Carpal

A carpet weighing twenty-one tons has been laid down in the foyer and restaurant of a leading London hotel. It covers a floor space of half an acre. Seventy men were required to handle it, and it is believed to be the largest in the world.

For the first time in the history

of carpet-making, sixty -four Oriental rugs were woven tn- gether. Sixty-two came from

Persia and two from China. The weaving was done by rug-workers from Samarkand.

According to their custom, the workers, before the growing car- pet was allowed tar-encircle each rug, wove a. piece of colored rice fibre crescent-wise into the heart of it, to ensure that all who tread them shall know perpetual joy and felicity.

On the other hand, this may not work out 110d We may lose our home and everything that we have strlven to accomplish. no you thing 1 should take the chance? UNCERTAIN.

Answer:

It is just as serious a matter to give life as it is to take it. Often it is a greater crime. I do not think that any one has a moral right jp bring a child into the world unless they have a fair certainty or being able 1,0 giveit the necessities of life-—enough food to eat, clothes to cover it, a decent home in which it can grow up, and g mother's time and one and

attention. Life is hard enough at best evan when we get off to a fair start. It is a. terrible thing for those who are handicapped from their very birth by lack of food and education and opportunity and who have to battle with the world from their cradle.

Of course, there are those who will tell you of how often genius SPIiIIBS lr0m the 811W", and of how many men and woirien who matched crusts from the garbage cans in their childhood and whose little backs were covered with rags, have achieved fame and fortune, now feast on ton-ppm and champagne and are clothed in broadcloth and velvet. But the gen- iuses are very few, and the streets are fllled with poor little walfg who sleep in doorways and hunt for their food like starving dogs,

I agree with you that no home is complete without children in it and I sympathize with your desire for a baby, but you must decide for your- self whether you can offer a little stranger enough Grade-A milk and spinach to nourish him and a warm cot to sleep in before you invite him to be a permanent guest.

And don't forget that while a) baby is truly g well-spring o; joy m the house, as the poet says, its little hands can tear the very heart out of your bosom. No hardships that can possibly come to you your-pg]; are comparable to the agony a mother feels when she sees her child hungry or sick and has not the money to buy it the food or give it the medical care t needs. -

Whether your throwing the whole responsibility of the family on your husband will spur him into making more effort to get along or not, is problematlcal. Sometimes it. does. Often it doesn't. 1t all depend; upon the spirit of the man.

Some men are ruined by their wives working outside the homo. When they find out that Mary can bring m the pawn g3 wen u m 1g they sit back and let her do it. They have a comfortable place to live in. Three square meals a day. And they can always strike the wife for pocket money. So why should they wear themselves out tolling? These org those who lodr for jobs praying God they will never find them and who become expert pool players and win bowling trophies.

But there are other men who are burnt up at the thought o1 their wives bearing burdens that they feel they should carry on their own strong shoulders, and whose one desire is to be able to support their wives and stand between them and the hardships of mo. And to the“ the 513m o; a tired little woman coming home at night Q weary she can hardly drag one foot after another, is a goad in their sides that spurs them on to make every possible effort to succeed.

You will have to decide yourself to which class your husband belongs. If he is one of the Weary Willles, there is no hope that he will ever- b9. come a go-getter. I O O I O O

Dear Miss Dix-I am very much concerned with a religious problem that has suddenly confronted me. The girl I love and to whom I am to be married has all the worth-while attributes I could desire. She takes her religion very seriously and writes me that she is only willing. to b, married by I- brucher of her faith, and that no matter how beautiful 1

‘ could make her life as my wife sho could not be happy unless I consented

to this. I-Ier religion exacts certain observance: from day to day, week to week, etc.

Now I am very broad-minded in matters of religion, but hey 1mm. oaoo on her own Church has made me feel that what I once regarded as a. molehill is now a mountain, and that in her pursuit of her respective religious inclinations after marriage we would burn a bridge between. us instead of behind us. Am I wrong in feeling that it is her place to give w m0 the future welfare of not only her heart and body but also her soul. I mean the religious part of her soul? BEWILDERED,

Answer:

I in this ‘ of r ,, belief. They are too tmversial for ma thing, and for another they are questions that each individual must settle for himself,

But I will say this: I think it is a great mistake, generally speaking, for the adherents of different, faiths to marry if either one m- bqth are ardent in their beliefs and u they dare especially for their Churches, Also, I think it is a mistake for the religious and the non-religious to marry, because there la no other one g about which people can be so un-

as.

Christian as they are about Chris ianlty, .

\ Heaven knows there are plenty of things for husbands and wives to quarrel over without their having at hand all the material to start a. ro- ligious war at a moment's notice. Not only will people 55m we, 1-8155. im quicker than anything else, but they also will be more unfair and un- just about it. A man will marry a woman, knowing that she ls devoted to her Church, and then burger the life out of her, bjeotlng m nor going to its services or taking any part in its acflvities. A woman will marry a man who is of a different faith from hers and nag him incessantly into Bivhi up his belief for hers. Some ofthe most pious people in the world make their husbands and wives more miserable than any dinner could,
