HOUSE AND GARDEN 
July, 1914 [ 
In the July Vanity Fair you may watch the 
Prince of Wales and the King of Spain play¬ 
ing polo; fly with Grahame-White, the great 
English aviator; feel all the thrills of the 500 
mile motor race at Indianapolis; discuss the 
inside of baseball with Ward of the Brooklyn 
Federal League; and look at unusual photo¬ 
graphs of unusual people in the worlds of sport, 
art, society and literature. 
Perhaps you have always thought of Vanity 
Fair as a butterfly among magazines? True, 
it is primarily cheerful, informal and amusing 
—but it has a useful side as well. It will find 
you a summer home anywhere, tell you the 
best kennels from which to select a dog, help 
you to travel by making your hotel reserva¬ 
tions, by looking up time tables and even by 
buying your tickets. 
These useful Vanity Fair departments are 
called “Where to Live,” “The Dog Mart” and 
“The Travel Bureau.” There are also the 
“Shopping Service,” “Sportsman's Calendar,” 
the Automobile Department, two big Fashion 
Departments, respectively masculine and fem¬ 
inine; and the great Vanity Fair advertising 
directory of smartest shops and most original 
manufacturers. 
You need Vanity Fair if you care for sports; if you are interested in music, 
in the opera, in the stage; if you like to know about the tendencies in 
modern literature, the best in art; and, above all, if a magazine that 
presents the most entertaining side of American life appeals to you, 
secure to-day the July number of Vanity Fair.

The Gardener and the Cook 
By LUCY H. YATES 
The authoress in writing this book enlisted the co¬ 
operation of a clever cook and a capable gardener. 
Not only does the book tell what vegetables and 
fruits are profitable to grow, but it gives the instruc¬ 
tion to transform them into delicious courses, tempting 
salads, preserves and jellies with all the perfected art 
of European chefs. Illustrated. $1.25 net. Postage, 
15 cents 
McBride, Nast & Co., New York 
quick, overpowering the Motes, RAIN 
himself giving battle to DUST, the chief; 
the fight lasts until DUST is overcome 
and falls, and is dragged away by his re¬ 
maining cohorts; Motes all run back and 
disappear; a glad fanfare of triumph; the 
rill begins to flow, the flowers to revive; 
PURPURIUS seeks AUREA, finds her 
safe, brings her forth, hidden from RAIN 
under his cloak; TEA ROSE and FUTIL 
revive; all save HE LI A, who hides 
ashamed, join in the chorus.) 
Hymn to Rain 
(At the end of the hymn, HELIA tries 
to slip away unobserved; RAIN intercepts 
her, R. 2, and draws her back into the 
midst of the glade.) 
RAIN —Whither, Helia? 
HELIA (brokenly) —Oh, away, away! 
Away from my mistakes—away from thee 
I’ve wronged !—away from all I’ve wasted 
in my hateful pride! 
RAIN -—Softly, Helia ; there is not room 
in all the world to flee so far as that! But, 
an’ there were, thou canst not; for I have 
need of thee. I’m King—but thou art 
Queen ! And neither is, without the mate, 
enough. 
HELIA (forlornly )—But they said I 
could rule! 
RAIN (placing a new crozvn upon her 
head, given him by a group of elves) — 
And then they said thou couldst not! 
(HELIA nods; RAIN laughs, holds her 
f rom him, kisses her; at last she smiles as 
he looks dozen at her, swinging her hands 
in his betzueen them; he turns forzuard, 
leading her.) 
(Music of pipes, etc., and the original 
order of procession is resumed for reces¬ 
sional into the zvood and away; HELIA 
and RAIN take their places together in 
her original place, but riding in his chariot, 
around which the Sunbeams dance, zvhile 
the Thunderbolts draw it; Sunbeams and 
Shadozcs dance azvay in pairs; TEA 
ROSE and FUTIL;' DUNDUM alone, 
beating his drum; PURPURIUS and 
AUREA, etc.)

Irrigation For Lawns, Etc. 
(Continued from page 16) 
The first is, to make all the water you 
apply go just as far as possible. Losses 
from evaporation, both during applica¬ 
tion and afterward, should be guarded 
against. To escape the former it is better 
to irrigate on a dark day or toward night¬ 
fall ; this gives the water a chance to soak 
thoroughly down into the soil. To keep 
the moisture from being drawn up out of 
the soil again the next bright or windy 
day, all ground irrigated should be gone 
over as soon as possible with the wheel- 
hoe to re-establish the mulch of dry loose
