Louise Beebe Wilder in "My Garden." ' This quotation from "My Car-ien," by Louise Beebe Wilder, ells a story which will be sym-athetically appreciated by all rarden lovers. Coming from one vhose glorious hobby is garden-ng it should be convincing to ill who read it. Suppose, though, you have nev-t tried gardening. You might feel that anyone who has a hobby ?ould make as convincing an argument about their hobby 'as the quotation above. And this, per haps, is true, but wait until you frave tried gardening, we counter. : You can "ask the man who owns one," then try it, and e for jourself bo "the auiomotila The Hedge i I MI!EST SKAT1NR KINK .

The same holds true in gardening. Try it once, see how much it holds in store for you. We believe the real secret ot the fascination ef the gardening hobby the thing, which makes it glorious is the genuine satisfac-, tion of creating that which is useful and beautiful through our own efforts. I One need not be a great artist,! a gardener of experience, or a person of wealth or ease,, to in-, dulge in and to get something with gardening. As a hobby it" gives you material accumulation in things of use and beauty it creates things others admire and wish to see and have. It gives you inspiration, bodily rejuvenation and mental relaxation. And beet of all ,it gives you fun if it is practiced as a real hobby. The famous froek called "Mimosa," for which Patou is responsible is here reproduced in black chiffon. It is soft and feminine without being "drippy." The dr.ess is perfectly fitted, with a swathed portion attached to a band up the back. This flares into a little train at. the heels.
