how much oil she has put into a particular 
salad, for I could never say. Her salads 
are never greasy, but each leaf has its due, 
and shines complacently. Then, last of 
all, a spoonful of vinegar is lightly 
sprinkled on, and the gentle process of 
“fatiguing” the salad commences. This is 
a process she enjoys; she will even wax 
poetical at this time. Her movements with 
her salad are steady, methodical, gentle to 
caressing, and when she has done it is a 
thing that would indeed “tempt the dying 
anchorite to eat.” 
There is no sediment left at the bottom 
of this bowl, no grit, no lurking atoms, no 
sourness of vinegar, nor does any moisture 
collect. It is a good salad. 
A vegetable salad, when mayonnaise is 
used, is dressed only just before it comes 
to table, as if left long the mayonnaise is 
apt to separate and the vegetable to get 
sodden. After the mayonnaise sauce has 
been poured over it the garnishing- is done, 
but this takes but a few seconds. Such a 
salad, of cold potatoes, arranged in circles 
with rings of tomato, cucumber and onion, 
decorated with a sprinkling of finely- 
minced parsley, looks most appetising. If 
any difficulty is found in removing the skin 
of tomatoes, it is helped by dipping them 
into boiling water for a moment first. 
Very pretty is a salad of potatoes or other 
white vegetable garnished with a mace¬ 
doine of other vegetables nicely varied in 
color. 
Occasionally we get what might be 
described as a tour de force in the matter 
of salad-making, but only occasionally. 
As a rule we are content, as the cook is, 
with the plainer sort, satisfied to know 
that she can do great things and rise to 
the opportunity when it arrives. When it 
does arrive, let the season be what it will, 
she is never dismayed or put out where her 
salad bowl is concerned.

Taking Stock of the Summer Garden 
T UNE in Southern gardens should be 
" the stock-taking month. There is no 
time for rest or hesitation now if the gar¬ 
den is to show its quota of midsummer 
bloom. The first thing to be done is to get 
through with the clearing of the borders. 
Bulbs of narcissus, snowdrops, Roman 
hyacinths, daffodils, and jonquils, seem 
to grow and multiply better if left in the 
borders, where they have been placed. 
Tulips, crocuses, the double hyacinths, and 
all the finer bulbs, must be left in the 
ground until fully matured, which is in-

Tree Service 
The Kind 
We Give 
REE doctoring, so called, is 
one thing; tree service, the 
kind we give, quite another. 
One means patching up 
your trees; the other their 
consistent handling by 
trained men, who are backed 
by an organization com¬ 
posed of experts. Men of 
broad experience. 
Not only will we repair, 
prune, spray or fertilize 
your trees, but we inspect 
the work at stated intervals 
for a year afterwards. If 
anything has gone wrong, 
due to our fault, we make it 
right entirely at our expense. 
This, then, is tree service 
in its broadest sense. 
Our charges are only such 
as this kind of thoroughly 
dependable work merits. 
Let us send you our 
Booklet, “Trees, The Care 
They Should Have.”

T HERE are many kinds of willow furniture— 
there is only one “WILLOWCRAFT.” It is so 
much better in material, design and construction 
that no comparison is possible—one recognizes its 
thoroughbred appearance at once. Its fine lines, 
workmanship and durability stamp “WILLOW- 
CRAFT” as wonderfully different from the cheaply 
constructed kinds which are found at stores generally. 
Our catalog suggests 165 attract¬
