The economic factor, involving the rela-ti6n of forests to rainfall, and the use of wood-pulp, is no less important. Shenandoah National Park in the beautiful Valley of Virginia is our latest natural shrine. And with the adoption of these broader projects comes increased interest in the landscaping of the private country place, in the proper planting and care of shade trees.

Methods of trimming and spraying and cavity work unknown but a few years ago are being used by expert operators such as Mr. Eyler and Mr. Johnson of the Empire State Tree Service at Great Neck, to whom credit must go for the fine appearance of so many Long Island estates. The improved appearance which men 1 of their experience can give to a landscape or orchard which has become somewhat run down is a remarkable tribute to innova- tions in tree surgery and to the men who put them into use.

Many excellent specimens of this colonial glassware are to be seen in the illustrations from Mary Harrod Northend's new volume, "American Glass," which Dodd, Mead and Company have announced for early publication.

In addition to a series of unusually fine illustrations the book contains chapters on Steigel glass, Wisterburg glass, bottles, cup plates, decanters, wine and flip glasses, and other phases of the early colonial manufacture.

REAR OF NAMM'S Phonei Triangle 4180 Telephone, 6724 Prospect PERSONAL SERVICE FEATURED BY MISS MARY LUELLA REED So many women who constantly declare simply cannot find suitable clothing ready-made!" think they are uttering an unalterable truth. What they do not real-, ize is that they no doubt have been in the habit of purchasing their dresses in shops' whose buyers lack the taste and judgment necessary to one who chooses garments for women of as many varied types as are found in, every shop, or else through whose inefficiency connections have not been made with thf really good manufacturers. In a charming apartment at 82 Pier re-pont Street, in Brooklyn's finest residential section, Miss Mary Luella Reed offers a selection of delightful frocks for every type of woman and every conceivable occasion.

Miss Reed, who is assisted by Miss Laura Frances Jones, has had many years experience in assisting women to dress correctly, and is especially well able to do so because of her good taste and earnest desire to see everyone wear the clothing that best becomes her. Miss Reed has had the good fortune of becoming acquainted with wholesalers who cater to figures that vary from the ordinary, For instance, one of these houses specializes in very short sizes, another in medium sizes with narrow shoulders and fullness in the hips to disguise their width, and others in half and quarter sizes. Personal service is the keynote of this establishment Miss Reed likes especially to show things to women who may be planning their next season's wardrobe, and an inspection of her stock does not necessitate immediate purchase. She is anxious to obtain for her patrons clothing more becoming than they have ever worn before, and because of this will make an extensive search among the wholesalers in an effort to find what will satisfy and become them. Her present stock consists "of a large number of dresses so lovely that they really must be seen to be appreciated, and among these are the very newest spring Palm Beach models in dark colors all ready for immediate delivery.

The red men mourned the loss of their happy hunting grounds, protesting in no mild manner against the desecration; and the results of the policy of wholesale destruction may be seen for example fn the poverty-stricken condition of the lands and persons of the French Canadians of Southern Quebec. The first pioneer to display an active interest in tree planting was one Appleseed Johnny. The rustic gentleman bearing this characteristic appellation of border times seems to have been one who, regarded as slightly demented by his neighbors, passed his time travelling up and down the Ohio. Valley, his chief article of baggage consisting of a large bag of apple seeds which he planted anywhere everywhere. Although this seems to have a matter of orchard-planting rather-than a restoration, and the quality of the ungraf ted fruit could not hive been the best, yet the general interest which his unique personality and methods' aroused planted the seeds figuratively as wjell aS literally of much of our present-day interest in fine orchards and well-planted landscapes.

The century which has passed since the time of Appleseed Johnny has witnessed a growing need for forest conservation. To Theodore Roosevelt, whose estate at Oyster Bay shows the appeal of finely-arranged and well-attended trees, and to FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD When one is able to shop with the same emotional reaction that accompanies a visit to several charming acquaintances, the joys of shopping will be so enhanced that all its drawbacks will.be dissipated. To the person who knows, there are certain shops where pleasure actually seems to be the medium of exchange. Notorious among this group are several book shops where one is invited in to tea, cigarettes, and good conversation If a book is desired, there will be a polite young man or woman to find it. This same atmosphere of good manners, courtesy indeed, of the refin-ments of the home, pervades the Colonial Cottage, atop the Textile Building, at Thirty-first Street and Fifth Avenue, where Mrs.

L. M. Tanner presides over her collection of antiques. One is sure that in this airy paradise, all the confusion of the -world of trade has been barred from entrance, many stories below. There, nestled in the thin haze of the rivers smoke, one feels that the connection with the sultry city has been lost, and as free, natural human beings, you will accept the invitation of the sun and clouds to expand with them and be free of the cares of the world.

Forthwith, it is with added joy that your eyes catch sight of the innumerable objets d'art which make this shop a veritable wonderland. Even if you do not wish to buy anything, drop in upon Mrs. Tanner and experience the joys of a place which refuses to make commerce commercial.
