Creating an Outdoor Living Room for the Summer
H u nd red- Y en r-Old
Chintz Is Useful
By BETTY WELLS
"1 was digging in an old trunk the
other day," writes Mrs. M. S. S.,
"and I ran across a piece of glazed
chintz more than a hundred years
old. It's a wonderful fabric in dark
red with large rose colored flowers
scattered over it. So I'm using
it in doing over one of my bedrooms
into what I call my old-fashioned
room, using family heirlooms. I
have a canopy poster bed, a
chest of drawers, washstand, sev
eral old mahogany mirrors and
three ladder back chairs.
Chintz a hundred years old.
"1 have had the walls papered in
a pale pink with a pattern of old
time dark red and tan flowers. How
shall I curtain the windows? There
are two of them side by side. What i
use shall I make of the chintz?" i
How lucky to have that old chintz! '
I think it would do nicely for the
bedspread. 1
For the windows, you could get
light blue window shades, then !
use sheer lace net curtains over 1
them, looped in lovely wide swoops. 1
Then if you could have a soft gray- ?
blue plain rug, that would be nice. '
You could use light gray-blue in
quilted material for slip covers for
a pair of easy chairs ? if you've any
red chintz left, you can add little
fat round cushions of it.

Barren Backyard Plot Can Be Converted Into Attractive Garden at Amazingly
Low Cost ? If You Work Carefully and Plan Details in Advance
<?
HOW a distinctive flower and vegetable garden can be grown
on the smallest backyard lot was demonstrated last sum
mer by the National Garden Bureau. Current observance of
National Garden week focuses attention on this fascinating
work. Illustrated above are the barren plot in early spring,
then the half-finished project, <8
and next the same garden a
few months later.
This plot was divided in two and
separated by an archway. On one
end was a flower garden, on the oth
er a vegetable patch. Common an
nuals were grown, started in seed
boxes or flats during early spring.
Flowers ranged from the prolific
morning glory which covered the
fence to miniature zinnias in the bor
der.
The vegetable garden was laid out
in rows, with an aisle of sod down
the middle. Twenty-one vegetables
were grown by conserving space.
Beans and cucumbers climbed the
fence, stakes kept tomatoes in the
air and "succession" plantings were
made.
The demonstration showed that a
beautiful garden can be grown any
where, no matter how small the
areai if it is planned in advance.
Close advance attention should be
given to flowers, their height, color
and length of bloom. The same ap
plies to vegetables.
Prepared in Illinois, this tiny gar
den cost less than $10 to plant, in
cluding the price of seed and ferti
lizer. Some of the vegetables were
being eaten in 20 days. Flowers
bloomed in 36 days. Full maturity
of the garden was reached in about
80 days, and it lasted a full seven
months. Vegetables alone were val
ued at $75, according to the market,
and were of course much higher in
quality because they could be used
when needed and were garden fresh
at all times.
Prospective garden planters are
urged to lay out their plot on paper
before attempting actual spade
work. This simplifies the work and
gives much more effective results.
A STORY FOR BEDTIME
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
DUSTER BEAR was feeling lone
*-* some. The truth is, Buster Bear
had felt lonesome most of the time
since coming down to the Green
Forest from the Great Woods, where
he used to live. Up there every
body knew him, and they were so
used to him that they were not so
terribly afraid of him. They knew
that as long as they kept out of
his reach they had nothing to fear.
&? Bustej was feeling rather lone
some as he prowled through the
Green Forest and had almost de
cided to go back to the Great Woods
from which he had come. Presently
he came to the pile of brush under
which Peter Rabbit had hidden
when he was chased by Reddy Fox,
and as he walked around it found
Reddy hiding. Reddy sprang away
with a frightened yelp and sat
down at a safe distance. Then Bus
ter Bear found Old Man Coyote hid
ing, and Old Mao Coyote snarled
angrily as he ran on a little way
and sat down to watch. Alter that
the same thing happened with Gran
ny Fox. Then, happening to look
"There most be something under
it that they're watching for,"
thought he.
up, Buster saw Hooty the Owl keep
ing watch from a tall pine tree.
Buster knew right away then that
there must be something very spe
cial about that old brush pile for
Reddy and Granny Fox and Old
Man Coyote and Hooty the Owl to
be so interested in it.
"There must be something under
it that they are watching for,"
thought he. "Perhaps if I take a
hand and help them they will not
be so afraid of me, but will be
more friendly." So he walked
around the pile of brush, sniffing.
"Hal" said he. "So it's a rabbit
dinner they are waiting for. I
wouldn't mind a rabbit dinner my
self." Then he began to chuckle.
You see, it struck him very funny
to think how four such famous hunt
ers should be waiting around for
just poor little Peter Rabbit. It
would be great fun to play a Joke
on them. No one loves a joke bet
ter than Buster Bear. And that
put an jdea into Buster's head. "If
you all will come up close so that
whoever is under bar*, cannot, get
away, I will pull over that pile of
brush," said he, talking to no one
in particular, but loud enough for
all to hear.
"If whoever is under here Is
smart, and I guess he is, to keep
you all here so long, he is going to
get away when I pull this brush pile
over unless you all come closer,"
said he.
Granny Fox looked at Reddy and
I came a few steps nearer. Reddy
J
looked at Old Man Coyote and came
a few steps nearer. Old Man Coyote
looked at Hooty the Owl and came
a few steps nearer.
"The one who is closest is the one
who will be the most likely to catch
that dinner you all seem to be wait
ing for," said Buster.
Granny Fox looked at Reddy and
then she came up very near. Red
dy looked at Old Man Coyote and
then he came up very near. Old
Man Coyote looked at Hooty the
Owl and then he came up very near.
Hooty the Owl looked at all three
and didn't move. It certainly
seemed as if poor Peter Rabbit
hadn't a chance in the world.

TWO-MINUTE
BIOGRAPHIES
DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
At seventy-flve, the stormy little
Welshman of British wartime fame
has become more kindly and philo- I
sophical, completely retired from
the active political scene where he
reigned until 1922 An orphan, Da
vid Lie yd George was raised by a
pious shoemaker uncle.
Welshmen knew him as a little
boy, as the hero of the local debat
ing society and a young lawyer of
21, and as the unimpressive fellow
they sent to the house of commons
in 1890. Today, nearly 50 years lat
er, he still represents Carnarvon.
Lloyd George may not have been
impressive looking, but he has al
ways possessed boundless physical
vitality and was the strangest per
son the house of commons had ever
seen.
So magnetic was hi a person
ality, so vital a force did he be
come, that the Welshman was
named prime minister in 1916, a
Napoleon of his times. He was one
of the triumvirate, consisting also
of President Wilson and Premier
Clemenceau.
At Versailles he was a leader,
and his last important act was to
defend the "freedom of the Straits
of the Dardanelles" in 1922. Then
the Tories left the coalition and
Lloyd George resigned.

By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQU1ST.

of Chicago.

Lesson for May 1
FOLLOWING VISION
WITH SERVICE
LESSON TEXT ? Mark B:U-29.
GOLDEN TEXT? All thing! are poulbl?
to him that believeth.*-Mark 9:23.
PRIMARY TOPIC? When Only Jesui
Could Help.
JUNIOR TOPIC? At the Foot of the Moun
tain.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC?
Living Up to Our Knowledge of Christ.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC?
Following Vision with Service.
One oi the lessons that seems
hard to learn and to keep constantly
effective in the life of a Christian
is that mountain-top experiences of
spiritual uplift are not an end in
themselves but a preparation for
service. All too often we come to
regard such times of peculiar bless
ing, whether in the privacy of our
own room, or in the great confer
ence of Christian workers, as some
thing which should glow warmly in
our own hearts, making us glad in
the Lord, and not as a background
and preparation for ministry to
others. One might ^ust as well hope
to feed the physical body constantly
without any work or exercise and
keep in good health, as to feed the
soul on good things, do nothing for
God or fellow-man, and still avoid
what someone has called "spiritual
dyspepsia."
The writer has just attended a
most unusual and blessed Bible con
ference, the leaders of which right
ly apprehended this truth. Evan*
gelism was the matter chiefly in
mind, but instead of announcing the
theme of the week's meetings as
"Evangelism" the program present
ed it as "Preparation for Evangel
ism." That is sound spiritual sense.
We came not to discuss evangelism
itself so much as to prepare our
selves to go out and evangelize.
God help us to do it!
Jesus rightly characterized the
time in which he lived as
I. A Faithless Generation (w. 14
19).
"Jesus found in the valley disput
ing scribes, a distracted father, a
demon-possessed boy, and defeated
disciples." The unbelief which
called forth the rebuke of Jesus "is
revealed in different phases. There
were the scribes, willful and per
sistent unbelief; there was the
father, unwilling unbelief; there
was the boy, irresponsible unbelief;
and there were the disciples, un
conscious unbelief. The whole at
mosphere was an unbelieving at
mosphere" (Morgan).
As we look at that depressing pic
ture of long ago, let us consider our
selves lest we also be tempted to
"limit God" by our faithlessness.
The most casual reader of Scripture
cannot help but see that God seeks
out and honors faith, and as we be
gin to study God's Word with care
we realize that the fundamental of
all fundamentals is really to believe
God. Some Christian men and wom
en are living out a tremendous testi
mony for God by fully believing Him
and His Word, but many of those
who profess to follow Him actually
make Him appear . ridiculous be
fore the world because their unbe
lief makes Him out to be a "small"
God instead of the infinite, eternal,
omnipotent God.
n. The All-Powerful Saviour (w.
23-27).
The keynote of our first division
might well have been the sad words
"they could not" in verse 18. But
now the Son of God has come and
the new keynote is the inspiring
words of verse 23, "all things are
possible to him that believeth."
There is no problem too difficult for
our Lord; there is no sorrow too
deep for His comfort; there is no
challenging opportunity too great
for His enabling power.
III. Prayer the Connecting Link
(w. 28, 29).
The disciples in chagrin at their
inability to deal with the difficulty
of the demon-possessed boy, having
witnessed the power of Christ in
delivering him, begin now to realize
that evidently even though uncon
scious of it, they had come into the
powerless position of unbelief.
What a solemn warning there is
for us in the experience of these
followers of the Lord. Like the
termites who destroy the very life
and strength of wood ? and yet leave
it apparently whole, only to crum
ble in dust when it is put under
the pressure of daily use ? there are
spiritually destructive influences
which all but unconsciously destroy
the virile strength of the Christian.
Prayerlessness is the most effective
weapon of Satan at this point. With
out prayer there is no power. Real
problems are not successfully met
nor are opportunities grasped "but
by prayer."
Happiness
Happiness grows at our own fire
sides and is not to be picked in
strangers' gardens. ? Douglas Jer
rold.
