RAPP INTERIOR DECORATION MRS. L Y MAN B ARR A880CIATE Your lawn is the most important part of your garden. Without its expanses of smooth, green turf, your flowers would look lonely and forlorn. Please keep its importance in mind, while I tell you this: If your grass has never got a good start, or if it‘s full of weeds, the chances are you‘d better figure on building a new lawn this spring. I know that isn‘t a pleasant prospect, but if you do it and once get a fine new lawn established, I‘m sure you‘ll look back and agree that in the long run you‘ve saved yourself trouble and disappointment. MASTER GARDENER Now, the first thing to do in building a new lawn, of course, is to spade up the soil. Then go over it with a hoe and rake to pulveriu‘ the lumps and clean it up. After that you can give some thought to the nature of your soil, because its texture is mighty important in esâ€" tablishing a good stand of grass. If it‘s too sandy, you can correct it by spading in peat moss. If there‘s too much clay in it, you should mix in some sand or finely sifted ashes. Now you‘re ready for seeding. Be sure you use good seed. Ask your garden supply dealer‘s advice on the kind of seed best for your soil, and be sure to get special seed for the shady places on your lawn. Apâ€" ply the seed on a day when there‘s little or no wind sowing half of it one way and half the other, to help you get it even. And don‘t be stingy with the seed; use five or six pounds of it to each thousand square feet of lawn. ‘That much, on properlyâ€" fed soil, should produce. real thick turf, heavy enough to keep weeds pretty well chocked out. * Then comes the grading o# the lawn. It‘s mighty important to have it sloped right for good drainage. That is, it should carry water away from the house and not have any low spots where water will collect and stand. After you‘ve finished the grading it‘s a good idea, if you have time, to let the ground settle a couple of days so that if lnj low spots develop you can level them off. Insure Ample Feeding Next comes the most important step of all â€" feeding. Very likely the old troubles you‘ve had with your lawn were caused directly or indirectly by lack of nourishment in the soil. Your grass didn‘t get all the food elements it needed. It gradually got weaker and thinner, and lost its ability to keep weeds choked out. So this time don‘t take any chances; give your new grass a good square meal right at the start. Get a plant food that supâ€" plies all eleven of the food elements growing things need in balanced proportions.~â€"Spread it evenly over your soil, four pounds to every 100 square feet; then rake it in thorâ€" oughly and level the ground off smooth. Rake your seed in lightly, and if the soil is dry ewough it‘s a good idea to roll it with a light roller. Then water it gently but thoroughly, and don‘t let the ground get dry again until the grass is growing strongly. Rev. C. H. Mengel, Bishop of the Evangelical Congregational church will preach in the First United Evâ€" angelical church, Green Bay and Laurel avenue Sunday evening at 8 o‘clock.

Blillu't,l’mhu Threshold‘s New Director Moulding ‘Personal Appearance‘ The business of casting completâ€" ed, the difficult job of making a wonderful production out of a truly good show is the task of Helen Buell. Her career started in eoh‘ lege and with the National Collo-‘ giate Stock company at Ann Arbor, Mich., under Robert Henderson. Her work earried her to New York where she played with the Theatre Guild in "Faust" and "Strange Interlude" and later, after her marriage, to the west coast, where she worked with the San Francisco Theatre Guild and the San Francisco Actors Theatre and played the lead in "Let Us Be Gay." From San Francisco Helen went to the Berkley Pi@yhouse taking the lead in numerous great plays including "The Witch," "Tomorâ€" row and ‘Tomorrow," "Green Grow the Lilacs," and later directing these same three shows. Appearâ€" ing with the Pasadena Players, Helâ€" en played opposite Victor Jory in "A Murder Has Been Arranged." Back in Detrojt doing Robert Henderson‘s special brand of stock, Helen received her share of theatre work in all its forms, enjoying every bit of it and getting the most fun out of playing the Jean Harlow part, Kitty Packard, in "Dinner at Eight." During the last three years she has been in New York and along with her amateur work in "Scarsâ€" dale" and her playâ€"reading for a Broadway producer she has built up a great desire for a job on Broadâ€" way. We believe she deserves a Broadway job and sincerely trust that her opportunity appears in the very near future. e A very capable group of well known actors and actresses from our own North Shore have been gathered together for the rollickâ€" ing comedy, "Personal Appearance" by Laurence Riley and, as the proâ€" duction date for our show is May 20 at the Central Grammar school in Glencoe, \we feel that Helen Buell‘s experience in direction is goâ€" ing to be a tremendous boost toâ€" ward a very successful stage play. You can be assured of an enjoyâ€" able evening by calling Karl Berâ€" ning or Clinton Ritter at H.P. 1322 or mailing your order for tickets to Threshold Players, Glencoe, IIl.

If you are planning to travel or have just returned from traveling, it is time to read. May Lamberton Becker in "Adventure in Reading," says: "Read before you leave home to taste in anticipation what you will see, but the real fun in readâ€" ing is after you return." One cannot carry a trunkful of books all over Europe, but one can earry a notebook filled with suggesâ€" tions of what to see, how best to see it, and a bit of historical inforâ€" mation gleaned from reading, toâ€" gether with a good guide book. Often times one must do the readâ€" ing after travelling because some of the happiest experiences are one‘s own discoveries.
