LJ * . 3 . "The earliest spring gardening starts quite properly with the ima- gination. It receives a lively stimu- Jus from the arrival of the new seed catalogues in January. One can garden so successfully with a catalogue. Having pored over the new and lovelier things pro- mised so blithely therein, and hav- ing moved almost everything in the garden to a different place,--hav- ing made out an order for seeds that the still small voice of reason tells you will have to be severely pruned before mailing you then tarn a critical eye on the house. Plans for Early Spring There are a number of things to do before the weather will be warm enough to do anything at all out of doors. Spring brings so much all at once,--house cleaning, gardening summer preparations, that it be. hooves one to plan ahead, so as to get as much done as possible in March, or earlier. Sun porch arrangements can be completed. Indoor. plants can be trimmed or repotted. Ivy plants lend themselves to many intersting decoratice effects. A niche may be lined with this trailing vine. A ter- ra cotta box with cupids over its side would make a good center- piece. Colored flower pots either side would form a good base to the scheme. Enough simple trellis wors would need to be hullt to care for the ivy and support it. Below a tile- top table seems to belong. Mirror in White Ivory A pair of terra cotta cupids on a console made a lovely picture on a wall in one sun room. A mirror was framed in ivory white just back of the figures. With the wall papered in marble effect, and a flat trellis covering either side, ivy was used to trail greenery up and back of the cunning figures, Vases were ranged along the console shelf, giving an opportunity for more color. Vases are coming to have a def- inite significance to the flower lov. er. The only satisfactory plan is to have a goodly assortment --large, small, tall thin ones, fat squatty ones,--various bowls, and at least one large open mouthed vase--per- haps with handles,--for the large field flowers. Pieces in Domestic Pottery A collection of vases may include a handsome black pie#e of domestic' pottery with stout hgpdles, several pieces of Italian pott with gayly colored designs,--some modern art bowls from Austria or Germany, a few glass bud vases in colors, a fairly tall 'vase of blue glass for roses and some small low bowls for pansies and nasturtiums. Such & collection would be the work of years, doubtless. Collecting might form a "pleasant background to one's gardening activities. Before the spring weather sets in and simply compels one to spend every available moment in the gar- den, is the time tqpconsider the porch and sun room §§rniture. Does it need new paint, or new cover- ings? Or shall this be the year to discard the old and buy new? Shall you make your choice stick reed or stick willow? Simple Lines Featured The reed and willow pieces have had to wear simple lines of neces- sity and so have lent themselves admirably to modern art effects. But to be truly "Modernistic" they must be sombre in color, in steel Brays,--tones of lemon yellow, or frigid and colq pinks. This demand 18 t00 much to ask of wicker or reed furniture, Although simple in line, "it just must riot in color. Large patterned fabrics In splashy colors in linens and cretonnes continue to be faver- ites for covering. reat comfort of cushioning ig a feature. Book shelves, tables, and magazine stands have become necessities and are in- creasingly well designed. Chaise Lounge on Wheels An amusing piece that may be added to any. collection is a light chaise lounge that runs in wheels and may be picked up and run' about from place to place, as one needs it. It is well upholstered and most comfortable. Later on one will think of gar- den pieces. By this time the impor- tant question, shall we have a pool or not, hag been settled. If yours is a new garden and have an appro- priate open space you may want one of the lovely tiled pools that Cali- fornia and Forida use so success- fully. The pool is octagonal and stands about three tiles high above the ground. Lovely patterns and colors can be brought into the tiles. A fountain in the center with or without a figure is often used. Flower pots of bright colors stands on the edge of the pool. Canadian Club Men Visit Old Countries Montreal, Mar, 22.--For the first time since the Canadion Club movement was organized in Ham- ilton 37 years ago, members from all parts of Canada will form an official party and visit Europe this summer. A The tour, which is approved by the Association of Canaajan Clubs, whose patrons are their excellen- cies, the Governor-General and Jax Willingdon, has beeu pian- td give members of the Cana- dian Clubs an opportunity to know more of the British Isles and France from which the ancestors of present-day Canadians came within the last three centuries. Sailing from Montreal June ., on the White Star liner, Laurentic, the party will visit Ireland first, including Belfast, Londonderry, the Giants' Causeway and vupnn, from where they will travel to Liv- erpool, the English lakes' district, Glasgow, Edinburgh, York Birm- ingham, Stratford-on-Avon, and London, where they will be on Do- minion Day. From London they will go to Os- tend and visit the Canadian battle- fields before consulting the tour in Paris. From Paris a number will - 80 on an extension tour to Switzer- jand, the Italian' Lakes, and Italy generally. Because of the interest in the _Canadian Club movement in Great Britain and the number of lead- ing men who have addressed the 'clubs throughout Canada, it is an- ticipated the party will be welcom- ed at many points anq it is proo- able they will be received official- ly by Hon.

S, Amery, secretary for the dowmninions, and other public men, Paris approves the Back lace, black tulle and other black evening gown. Milady livens it by adding gay moire, crepe, kid or novelty slippers in lip- stick red, bright purple or green.

The collar ties shut with black ties of the coat's fabric. REJUVENATION OF FINE ART SOUGHT IN NOVA SCOTIA Elizabeth Nutt Forms School Outlining Manner of Work to Splendid Purpose Halifax, N.S.,, Mar. 22.--"We want to familiarize #§he people with fine art--and also to point out to them that fine art has a commereial side as well as an 25 aesthetic." Thus Eizabeth Styring Nutt outlined the work and pur- pose of the school which under her direction has found rejuvenation and a distinct place in the cultur- al development of Nova Scotia. While outside the window of her office in the dingy old building overlooking Barrington Parade the wings ofy City Hall pigeons flutter- ed, and" within the Nova Scotia College of Art itself young men and women in smudged smocks worked #t easel and palette and modelling board, this energetic Englishwoman who ten vears ago took over the principalship of the schoo] spoke fervently of the work her graduates are doing, and in- tend to do. One of the most notable things about this art school, setting it more or less apart from aca- demic departments of Arts and Crafts, is the emphasis placed on the expression of individual ex- cellent in commercial art,' The joy of creation for itself has not been sacrificed; work done by members of the staff and graduates of the school has been, and is being ac- cepted for exhibition in many sal- ons of the old and new world. But there is a pleasant fréedom from snobbery . about the College of 'Art. Miss Nutt speaks with en- thusiasm about the exhibit of an oil by a former 'student in the Paris Salon, or about the success of another pupil in drawing some- thing new in menu cards for a trans-continental diner service, The Nova Scotia College of Art is what its principal calls 'a proper art school," affording in- struction in practically every branch of painting, drawing, dec- orative and applied arts, crafts and modelling, The manner in which the school's graduates have ap- plied their experience is indicated in their recent work. The oil paint- ing "Bleu sur Bleu", the work of Una Grey,' hung on the walls of the Paris Salon before coming back to Halifax to be continually before the-eyes of Art School stu- dents. An etching by Richard Wil- cox and oils from the brushes of several graduates have found places in the Royal Canadian Aca- demy; Helen Montgomery has a studio of her own in Montreal, Florence MacDonald in New York, Bessie MacKay in Sydney Mines, Don MacKay in Halifax, Isabel Macneill is doing scenery for a *| theatrical producer in London. Charles Payzant is art editor and part owner of a magazine in Los Angeles devoted to the dancing profession. Many students have opened their own craftshops with- in the past few Yeéars, and their work is known not only in Hali- fax, where the interior decorative work on a new building or a stage production is hardly complete un- less an art school student hag had a hand tn it, but in many other cit- jes where they have gone to pion- eer in the craft. The school also gives courses in the teaching of art. The grad- uate of the school in the days when it was known 88 the Victoria School of Art is Edith Smith, now head of the art department at | Halifax Ladies' College.
