ITEAUX AND I COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure | Newspaper Syndicate) I began to fear that my conversa- tion with M. Viteaux was becoming| entirely too personal to be safe, and | I longed for Mies Genevieve Casey to] rap and demand M. Viteaux's atten-| tion. But I knew that'Miss Casey | 'at that moment waS too busily en-| gaged listening at the door to wish | to do anything else, so I controlled | my patience as best I could and al-| [lowed M. Viteaux to continue: | "As 1 was saying," he went on, had you booked up purely for per-| sonal reasons, mademoiselle. I felt that I had offended you when I in-| timated that you did not dwell in boarding house which was, er--er---! which was not particularly fashion- | able, and my curiosity was aroused. But I cannot say that my curiosity was satisfied by the report of the | agent who looked you up. On the] contrary, his report has given me] more curiosity than I had before, and it has really caused me worry, made- moiselle. I do not understand it" "Your surroundings are #6 splen- did!

"I ah more than offended; angry. What, may 1 ask, purpose in seeking knowledge of my private, life?" > "It was my. interest in you," pro- tested M.| Viteaux quickly. "I know that you have noticed -that I have ta- ken an interest in you. The fact that I wanted to call upgn you show- ed you that I had taken an interest in you, did it not?" I did not reply. 'But you would not permit me to call," he went on. "That aroused my curiosity.'l could not understand it. 1 did not see why, if 1 wished to call' upon you, you should object. So I looked into the matter." "You thought it perfectly natural, if you indicated youi desire to visit me, that I would acquiesce?" "Naturally, I did not think you would object, mademoiselle. 1 did not believe that I was altogether of- fensive to you. We had been asso- ciated in the shop and what was more natural thin that I might sup- pose we might 'be associated after hours?" . There was a pause during which made up my mind what to do. B "M.

C., JOHNSTON, Vegetable Specialist, Ontario Department. of Agriculture, Toronto.) At no time in many years has the necessity and importance of the home vegetable garden been so clear- ly shown as for this coming suminer, 8. (By the French Revolution been a nation of small farmers, ber people of small means cultivating some available land to produce a portion of their own household foodstuffs and to in- crease the wealth of the nation; Great Britain, threatened with a shortage of foodstuffs, determined to cultivate all available land possible to offset this shortage and we in Canada bending every energy toward facilitating these great nations should do all in our individual power to do something in the hope of help- ing ourselves and assisting the com- mercial vegetable growers who are seriously handicapped by the short- age of labor in the production of vegetable foodstuffs. Every city, town, and village dweller has an op- portunity to help this great work, in that there are hundreds of avail- able plots now practicatly unproduc- tive which could be made grow vegetables and thus add to the wealth of the country. Vegetables an Important Food. Vegetables should form an import- ant portion of the daily food of the average human being,for they possess qualities which we are told are essen- tial in the proper digestion of the heavy foods, such as meats. To help you do your part in your backyard this column. will discuss some of the practical problems in connection with vegetable growing during the next few weeks. All backyards cannot be prepared in one year to grow vegetables of an excellent quality. Some portion of the yard, however, may be devoted to this purpose, or, if it is convenient, there are usually many vacant lots which are not too far from one's place of abode which possibly could be devoted to the growing of veget- ables, Some Essentials, First of all it is essenfial that the vegetable garden, no matter how small, be planted according to some plan or rule. No one attémpts to build a house or to set out a peren- nial. flower border without using some drawing or chart to go by. Why should the vegetable garden be treat- ed differently? Haphazard planting will prove a failure, and in order to overcome this it should be remems- bered in laying out the garden that-- (1) Tall plants will be most effec- tive if placed behind low ones, not intermingled "with them, " (2) All . plants closely allied should be grown together, not in the same row, but in rows adjoining one another. : (3) The fences may be decorated with vine crops which may be sup- ported on the fences by means of strings or lattice work. * (4)- All quickly maturing veget- ables should be planted in a portion of the garden by themselves so that they may be harvested and the ground used for other crops later on. The work of planning the garden to determine what vegetables and how much of each is to 'be ggown will be influenced by one's individe ual tastes. One should grow an abundance of such crops as one con- sumes the most. Secure Seed Now--But Plant Only % When Soil is Ready. cide very early which crops are to be grown and should purchase his seed as soon as possible. It must be remembered, however, that much of this seed may bs wasted if it is planted too early in the season. The soil must be warm to receive the seeds, and amateur gardeners muat good growing weather 'is really here. It is possible in ordinary seasons to plant some vegetables in' April, and yet many yard vegetable en- thusiasts will be well advised to wait until the middle of May before doing very much in the.garden, Suitable Varieties.
