The hostesses , for this 'meeting were Mr. and Mrs. then, will concern the actual needs or the peculiar desires of the owner. In the average small lot there must be exact allotments of space for the gar-- age entrance, approach to the house, drying yard, etc., and it is sometimes necessary to subordinate the design to these essential features. > y One rule which appiles to the design of any sort of garden and especially to thost in town, is that a proper back-- ground be secured by a screening off of all adjoining unsightliness or unde-- Birable features. 1t is an exceptiougl case where the first stuay should not be--devoted to the barrier which sep-- arates the provosed garden from its environment. Thetcher Steele, in the "House Beautiful", says that if he were asked to make a general criti-- cism of the usual American garden he would suggest at once the insuffi-- clency of the average enclosure. --It should never be less than eye high, except, of course, in those cases --where there is a scenic outlook. such as over a lake or distant vista. The most per-- fect design and color harmony in the garden are wasted #f the eye i sto be distressed by a rear view of one's neighbor's garage or corn patch. In order to get the greatest satisfaction from ones garden, it is pleasing to place it where it is visible from the living and dining rooms in the house. For this reason people are coming more and more into the habit of plac-- ing these rooms at the rear of the home and using the kitchen and sery-- itce departments as a screen to privacy. [ To me, succesful --design in the gar-- den is that arrangement of plants,' shrubbery and trees which insures the | greatest satigfaction to the"eye. While of course, we all have our preferences, and prejudice in this art, as in any other, I think the average person re-- acts with pleasure to any planting scheme which has followed certain fundamental rules of design. But before one can consider the ac-- cépted principles, one should . give' painstaking thought to decide what is fitting, in order--that the plan may be adaptable to the neéds of the indi-- vidual concerned.

The first rule to beobserved in mwwdnmneom the de pment of the axis--the axis being the central line of any symetri-- cal figure ©round which the design is built, and usually takes the forntf of paths and 'strips of grass. Each gar-- den must have a major axis. which is generally . carried through the center of teh garden along the longitudinal dimension, and is a rule there are one or more transverse axes. Axes must hy.:efinno beginnings and endings. In er to secure a satisfying unity De'we» house and g»:den, it is the best plan to begin the major aris at some house door, window or porch. The former end may terminate at a trellis,: fountain, birdhouse, or at any feature which is emphatic enough to Beem to effectually end the vista Where the paths meet or cross one another, it is pleasing to alaborate the junction. This may be accomplished in several ways: by placing a small object such as a sun dial at the cross-- ing; by enlarging the area and mak-- ing a round. square, or formal pat-- tern, or by putting plants at, the four corners. A formal treatment depends other way is to avoid a strict use of right angles. While some landscape architects are horrified at the idea of using any but right angles in a formal garden, there are those who find more charm and no eccentricity in the oc-- casional use of other degrees,. It is considered permissable also to slight-- ly bend the axis at the definite termi-- nation 'of some feature. In fact, by combining these details with a plant-- Ing scheme in which co%t:etlnc heights predominate, it is sible. sneaking paradoxically, to have a for-- mal garden in which the effect is de-- cidedly informal. As for me, I enjoy looking at a strictly formal garden, with an im-- personal pleasure similar to that with axris divides the garden into equal parts, one should be sure to develop each of them similarly, for the sake of symetry. There are, of course, de-- grees to the rigidity with which a con-- ventional pattern may be carried out. For those to whom the formal plan is the more practical, yet who fear the allsterity of such a design, there are m-wuchlottenthoefloct. A Bty of level with an avoidance of a conventional type of steps or se a trellis, sun dial or the like, or of plant life,--and to make this the key-- note of the design. As in a design of any ' art, there should be some one dominating feature .to give proper ac gcent to the whole, In this way a clut-- tered up or aimless ~avnpearance is avoided. _ Flatness in the informal garden is to be strictly shunned. Un-- evenness should be carried out, not only along the skyline, but in the flow-- er groupings. For instance, iris, plox and peonies need the towering mass of delphiniums and hallyhocks to make them more picturesque.

This was the declaration here today of Doctor, Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, who pointed out that last year marked the state's worst ex-- perience with hydrophobia and that the situation appears to be growing gradually worse. Seevn persons died of tabies during 1927, a figure aigher than that for any other year on rec-- ord «and greater than that for the five preceding years combined. The 409 pasitive tests of dogs heads made in the public health laboratories of the state were nearly as many as for the preceding five year period, and indicated wide prevalence of hdro-- phobia among the canine family. '"Threatened at four ints, Illinois is in danger of a serious epidemic of rabies that is lable to cause signifi-- cant economic loss, especially of cattle and other domestic animais, and considerable suffering and mor-- tality among humans#," Doctor Raw-- lings said. . "Foci of infections are no¥*¥ centered in Cook county to the north, Jackson county to the south, St. Claire and Madison counties on the Missouri border, Crawford and Lawrence counties on the Indiansa line and a central area made up of Sangamon, Christian, Macon, Logan, DeWitt, McLean and Morgan coun« ties.
