MISS PEIM
By MABEL KNIPE.
.rrrrvr
Miss Folina Rogora laid down hor
crochet hook as sho heard n gay young
voico call: "Aro you homo, auntio?"
"To bo suro I'm homo this tlmo of
morning," replied MIrs Poltna in her
brisk manner, but with a fond look
In hor keen old oyes as thoy rcstod
on protty Mary Hurvoy.
"What is your mother doing this
morning?" oho asked an tho bright"
haired, brlght-oyod girl dropped a kius
on hor wintry old chook.
"Sho's making a now glrdlo for my
yollow party dress. Thoro's a danco
at Elliott's tonight. "And" almost
timidly "I camo to borrow your llttlo
gold chain, if you don't mind."
"Suroly, surely. Who is going to
tnko you?"
"Good old Joo, auntio." '
"Fool old Joo, I'd call him," snapped
Miss Polinn. "Any man that will lot
a llttlo chit liko you mako him mlsor
ablo and still won't marry him is a
fool for lack of sonso."
Tho "llttlo chit" throw her head
back and laughed delightedly.
"Who's going to tako Cora Davis7"
Miss Pclina asked shrewdly.
Cora Davis was Mary's dearo3t ene
my and tho girl's faco darkened a trifle
as sho replied, "Mr. Brown, I think."
"Tho ono who camo hero a few
months ago to open his real cstato of
fice. Old Joel Brown's grandson? (
Hum well, if ho's anything like hiB
sporty old granddad ho'll eoon havo
you girls 'quarreling over him."
Mary's faco flamed consciously as
sho replied:
"Ho really is vory exclusive, auntio.
Ho hasn't called on any of us girls
except Cora."
"Sho's tho only ono whoso father
has an oil well," drily commented Miss
Polina.
"Auntio, you'ro unfair," burst out
tho girl.
"Thoro, thore," soothed Miss Polina.
"You look Just liko your Aunt Salllo
when you aro nngry. Poor, poor, Sal
He, how I did lovo that child!"
"Somcono is always saying I'm Uko
her," pouted Mary. "And they're al
ways prophesying somo kind of bad
luck for mo just because sho eloped
with that cheap actor and mado such
a mess of things "
After tho girl had gono, Miss Pellna
shook hor head sadly. "I mustn't let
tho poor, contrary child muddle hor
lifo as Sallio did," sho mused aloud.
A fow minutes lator, sho was at tho
telephone asking Mr. Brown if ho
could call at her houso that after
noon. It was a very pleasant-faced young
man who waited in tho old-fashioned
parlpr at tho hour sho had set. Too
pleasant, Miss Pclina considered him,
as sho took, a swift, appraising glance
at his too-candid bluo 'oyes and his
too-smlllug full lips.
"Smirky," sho whispored disgustedly
to herself.
"Lot us get down to business. I hear
you havo tho Belling of tho lots in tho
new city ndditipn."
The young man's eyes gleamed
shrowdly ns ho volubly explained tho
desirability of tho lots.
Miss Pellna casually romarked: "I
wouldn't want Mary to havo any trou
bio with my Investments after I'm
gone Mary Ilarvoy, my nioco, I
mean."
When tho young man went, ho car
ried with him tho conviction that Mary
Harvey was to Inherit her great-aunt's
wealth, which was exactly tho impres
sion Miss Polina wishod him to havo.
Early tho next morning, Mary camo
running in.
"Auntio dear," sho cried, "you were
unjust to Mr. Brown. Ho didn't look
twlco at- Cora Davis last night, and
ho was perfectly devoted to mo. And
'ovorybody "kuowB hor father ban ovor
so much moro mondy than blessed old
dad." ,
''How did 'good old Joo appreclato
his devotion?"
Mary tossed hor head.
"I gave Joo to understand that l;o
cannot dictate to mo. And I'm going
driving with Mr. Brown this after
noon." Miss Polina nodded her head, as if
this woro no surprise to her.
Tho afternoon seemed very long to
tho norvouB llttlo old spinster, and
sho sighed with relief when sho heard
Mary burst In at tho front door.
"Auntio," sho cried, "I'm upset."
."What upBet you?" asked Miss Pol
ina Jocularly. "Not tho automobllo, I
hope."
"Don't joko, plcaso," begged Mary.
"It was that odious toad I was driv
ing with."
"What did ho do?" asked her aunt.
"Oh, he didn't do anything. IIo just
looked, and ho was bo soft, and and,
oh, auntio, I can't explain It, but his
hands seemed to paw over mo bo, oven
whon ho helped mo Into tho car. I
never could bear to havo a man's
bauds touch mo. I'd liko to slap his
silly, smirky faco," sho fumed.
""Exactly as I thought," commented
Miss Pellna. "But you novor would
havo believed ho was cheap and re
pulsive If anyone had' told you. You
needed to mako your own discoveries.
Thcro'a tho boll, I told a man to stop
hero. Go let him in, honey."
As Mary throw open tho door, sho
gasped. "Tho man" was Joo.
"Did you want mo, Mary?" he asked
In his kind volco, which sounded a
trlflo tired.
"Yes, Joo," with tho tears very near,
and her sweet faco upllftod. "1 want
you all tho tlmo "

THE PEONY AND ITS CULTURE
By C. BESTCHER.
Few pcoplo know tho wealth of
beauty and perfume of tho peony.
Quito everyone knows tho brilliant
old red peony or "piny" of tho old
timo garden. But from that to tho
modern peony is a great ovolutlon.
Tho modern peony is suporlor in size,
perfume and finish to tho chrysanthe
mum, with less caro and moro certain
results for labor expended.
Tho requirements of tho peony nro
simple, yet at a few periods they aro
very easily damaged. Wo havo largo
aroas to handlo and cannot glvo'them
tho samo caro ono could glvo a few
plants.
Wo glvo tho soil a thorough dress
ing of fresli manuro early in tho fall
and sow to rye. In April wo plow tho
ground dcoply and plant potatoes,
Corn or other crops that will havo
good culture.
Wo prefer to plant any tlmo during
September, but planting may bo dono
at any tlmo (If well watered for a few
dayB) from September 1 to May. Wo
do not approve of lifting plants in
tho spring after. thoy have begun al
ready to mako"a rapid and tender
growth.
Plants that aro kept dormant by be
fog dug in tho fall may bo planted un
til Juno with lino success. Wo havo
planted big clumps when In full bloom
nnd thoy grow well, but wo do not ad
viso it except when absolutely neces
sary. When planting peonies in clayoy
ground, they should bo set about four
Inches deep, but in light, sandy or
loamy soli, live or six Inches deep. Old
clumps I plant a bit deeper, leaving
tho crown covered lightly until lato
when moro edil is drawn over thorn
to mako tho surface level.
Never uso much manuro tho first
your on newly planted peonies and cure
should always ho exercised not to
overnmnuro them. Tho best way is
to cultivato them about threo inches
deep, then apply about ono Inch of nny
manure, working tho ground Boveral
times bel'oro winter sots in, or thoy
may bo manured after tho ground
freezes and tho manuro worked Into
tho soil in tho spring.
Keep all tho weeds out of tho
peonies and do not dig over thrco
inches deep from October until tho
buds aro as largo as acorns. Many
porsons havo complainod about their
poonles not blooming, nnd upon inves
tigation and from observations from
my own oxporlonco I found that when
ever wo dug deeply around plants at
tho tlmo abovo stated tho plants either
camo up blind or boro a very small
Carnations.

percentage of good blooms, so wo
learned to employ shallow cultivation.
Plant peonies in tho bright suushlno
away from treeo' that aro liable to
ohado thorn or whoso rootn may sap
tho plant food in tho soil where thoy
aro planted.
In lawns whoro peonies nro planted
they should bo kopt well cultivated to
a rndlus of about two feet. Watering
Is unnecessary except In uovcro dry
weather. Novor plant peonies whoro
tho crowns uro lilcoly to bo covered,
wuu water longer man a very shoit
tlmo. Peonies undor water for sovoral
days aro likely to bo vory quickly
spoiled.
Peonies nro grown from a division
of old plants and alco from seed. From
seed thoy requlro fiom five to elgh
years to como Into full blooifi Tl;
following Is a short list of very choice
sorts:
Olllclnnlls tcnulfolln, ftvery early
crimson; ofllclnulls rubra, old early
red; La Franco, La Franco roso color;
festlva maxim!, paper white, center
petals edged crimson; dclachol, deep
dark crimson; M. DuPout, lato white,
Bhows yellow stamens; FollS Drousse,
lino lato red; D. do Nemours, pure
white; P. Duchartro, salmon-pink, vory
extra; M. M. Chausao, nearly black,
very exceptional; Jenny Lind, lino sal
mon-plnk; Grandiflorn, grand violet
snlmon-plnk; Dorchester, grand uoft
pink; Mnrlo Stuart, creamy whlto, ex
tra; Edulls Supera, early pink.
GROW YOUR ROSES FROM CUT
' TINGS
A Kood way to increase your stock
of roses Is from cuttings. Select a
brunch of half-hardened wood from a
thrifty bush; cut Into four or live-Inch
pieces; sou that each of these has sev
eral eyes from which growth can start;
trim off tho loaves except a few near
the top of the cutting.
Keep the cuttings In a glass of wa
ter for a couple of days.
Select a sunny phyo In ho Kurden,
which has excellent soil. DIk It up
well and put In the ftllps about half
their length. Press tho soil tightly
about the cuttings, water well, and cov
er with a glass jar or u large tumbler.
Keep the ground. moist by pouring wa
ter around tho glass without lifting It
up.
Growth should show through the
glass In a few weeks, when the plants
may bo gradually accustomed to the
air. Cuttings can ho taken as late
as mid-October, put down In this way
and when cold weather comes Just heap
the earth high over them, glasses and
nil. In tho spring you will find that
moro than half havo survived.
