Mr. Harding' belongs to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and the Phi Beta Kappa society at Yale, and won the "Bur den Fellowship," which really means i year abroad at any of the universities that the student may choose and Is open to any member of the PI Beta Kappa society who Is an honor graduate in all studies.

The breaking out of diphtheria at Lake Washington, Minn., caused quite a change of plans for most of the cottagers at this popular resort.

Vlnsonhaler and two children and the Misses Tlerney and Master Hubert Tlerney who were at Lake Washington, returned home this week. Xt has been said of Army people that they are Ideal hosts, and that even In the midst of confusion Incidental to travel, they rarely lose their composure and are always ready to entertain their friends. The truth of this was demonstrated recently at a supper given at an adjacent post, by an officer's family, whose house hold goods are crated and ready for early shipment to California. Much amusement was afforded the guests by tbe primitive table appointments and by the quaint original verses written on rough tags at tached to quartermaster chairs. For deco ration a Jelly tumbler filled with sun flowers and mint was in the center of the pine table. The host's tag bore this verse: At head of the table you should be happy as a loser, With A y oa one vide of you and Mrs H. O. on 'tother. The following explanatory tag was at tached to the hostess' chair: Mother made these killing rhymes tMore of Jingle than of ballad). Daughter made the sandwiches. Also the chicken salad. Ina (Jap cook) makes mistakes. And many blunders rare, Father makes a hullabaloo Unless he gets his chair. Guests will make allowance tor the lack of dishes, Knowing that the prompt of all Is love, and best of wishes. At tbe field Clak.

"September is the month to plant peo nies," declared the rursery woman whose peony beds are among the wonders of her neighborhood. "The plants, should be di vided In August and a buyer should be careful to see that the pieces he Is to put Into the ground have at least three good eyes. "If these tubers have to watt until next spring to be planted they will be shrivelled and faint from fasting 'and will take at least a year to get to where they would be had they been planted in the fall. Peo nies planted In September may give a few blossoms in the following June and they should be decidedly hotter the second spring, but not until the third season can they really be depended on to be as beau tiful as we expect them to be. "Peony culture is a very simple matter. The first point Is never to disturb the tubers when once you have them com fortably established. To establish a peony bed properly dig a trench three feet deep, put in plenty of well rotted cow manure and plant the tubers four feet apart and from three to five inches below tbe sur face of the bed. Then pack In the soil firmly, being careful not to trample too near tbe tubers. Location of tho Bed. "In selecting a position for a peony bed be careful to get a spot where there Is no drip and where the flowers will not be whipped by the wind. In the spring If the plants show a tendency to fall over some sort of support should be given them. The best that I have ever seen used Is a gal vanized wire hoop with a loop In one end and a hook in the other. This should be fastened about the plants and If neces sary upright pieces or wire leg of the necessary length can be added. Such sup ports cannot be seen ten feet away from a thrifty plant and add wonderfully to Its appearance and the perfection of Its flowers. "Now the only real problems about peony culture are how to get the best variety and how to multiply them when once you do get them. Of course, everyone knows peonies can be ordered by the names and description given In nursery catalogues. That is a very simple matter and the de scriptions given In these books are often so entertaining that one Is almost rewarded without waiting for the maturity of the plants ordered. "The other way Is to visit some nursery where there Is a large display of peonlej and pick for yourself. So far as I am con cerned, I would rather fill one order given this way than 100 given from my cata logue. The reason Is simple enough. When the buyer sees the peonies In bloom he knows which he wants and Is not dis appointed when It appears in his own bed. For tho Averse Lawn. "For the average lawn or garden I always advise a mass of one or two vari eties rather than a- general collection. A general collection as a rule give a spotted effect. The peony I Intended to be a large flower and for that reason 1 see very little use in raising them under six inches In diameter. The best method that I found of raising extra large flowers Is to disbud the plants Just as you do chrysanthemums and feed them at tbe root when they come Into bud with liquid fertilizer. It should always be remembered that peonies are gross feeders and will consume and make fair returna for all food and care given them. "The peony is the best herbaceous per ennlal In cultivation. It Is larger than the rose, with as wide a range of color; it Is hardier and the blossom lasts longer. Though It has no fragrance, neither has It ar.y thorns and very few enemies or diseases. In this climate desirable varieties of the rose are usually short lived, while the peonies are almost as permanent as trees and need very little mora cultiva tlon. How to Rob a Bed. "If you are not particular about variety and can find a thrifty old peony bed in your neighborhood I would advise you by all means to bargain with the owner and have It moved Into the proposed bed. An- I other way to pet peonies without any great outlay of cash, but with tome expenditure rf lime and trouble, Is to place a bottom- leas box over the center of an old peony plant In the spring before the old bush shows any signs of t'rowth. The bottomless box should then be filled with rlh porous earth to a depth ot from twelve to fiftee:-. Inches. The i t shoot will push through this fre:-h lever of earth and develop foliage and flowers above it. The soil la the box must be kept most during thel summer and when October com It will be found to be well filled with new roots. "Tbe stalks connecting these new roots with the old bush should now be carefully cut away below the stratum of fresh earth. Then these new stalks should be cut into as many pieces as the are eye provided mlth roots. Such stock tlll grow Into fine plants in a much shorter time than is Aul limn Novelties in TailoreJ (If them is f Special Showing of New Fall Skirts, broadcloth, serge and covert silk petticoats and tailored waists.

To that question I always give a moet positive negative. In the first place seeds give new varieties, and there Is not one chance In 500 that the new plant wilt be an Improvement on or even as good an the one from which tbe seeds were gathered. Kinds to Raise. "A to varieties they can be reduced to two really Important kinds the Peonla alblflora and the Peonla officinalis. The May blooming varieties are mostly de rived from the officinalis, which Is a native of southern Europe and produces one dark crimson flower to the stalk. The late June blooming varieties are chlfely de rived from the alblflora, which Is a Siberian flower and produces from two to five blossoms to the stalk. These blos some are either white or pink. "The tree peony differs from the her baceous variety by being a shrub and not so hsrdy. Through it Is expensive because of this Insecurity of life It Is very beauti ful and highly ornamental when Isolated on a lawn. It grows from three to six feet high and when properly placed pro duces larger and more numerous blossoms than the ordinary herbaceous varieties. It bloom early In May before the other varieties and the buds are often nipped by late frosts. It should be planted in a sheltered position where it will not be touched by the morning sun. This gives the nipped buds time to thaw out gradu ally. Bcfoi making a selection of herbaceous peonl'i you should decide whether they are j be the double or the single varieties. The single peony with Its grest ball of golden stamens Is Indeed a beautiful flower, but the double kinds have always been the general favorites. Then the single peony will last only three dsys. while the double varieties will last about a week. "Though the best peony bush will re main In flower only a week or so the poony srason can be made to extend to a month and longer by a careful selection of vari eties. A peony bed will look bare during I the fiist srason after planting. To avoid! this I have always found putting pansles j or some other shallow rooted plants be tween the peony bushes most satlsfac'ory. j Another combination which I find very ef- I fectlve for a permanent bed is planting . lilies with the peonies. I "Yellow trumpet daffodils also look well 1 when shown against the ruddy foliage or the young peony shoots. Peonls lo k bet when planted In lone, brosd lines backed by shrubbery. If you cannot have a long l.ne be sure It Is di-ip enough to form a ...nil mass of color. As a border to a ! drive I know of nothing more satisfactory than peonies, especially where th-y are mixed with lllie and daffodils."
