By Cynthia Cabot Timed perfectly for the parade of foot-

fashions sponsored by the National Shoe I n - . stitute is the opening of the new Ansonia shoe store at 70 S. 69Lh st. in Upper Darby today. "The New in Shoes" would seem to be their special theme song when the new shop opens its doors to parade the fashions for spring and Easter.

Their pretty collection of new footgear show how slim the new shoes are and how well the materials reflect the light-hearted look of spring. This season, designs are made to blend with the new clothes which are in themselves younger and gayer than ever.

Popular styles include bareback sandals, halter slings, tapered toes and needlepoint Italian heels as well as peg heels. Interest is not concentrated in any one place on the shoes. There are side trims and back interest

points of interest as well as contrasting decor­ations. Patent leathers and polished leathers share the footlight with soft suede. All in all, there's a dressmaker look to the new shoes.

Shown is a quintet of the new Ansonia shoes. "The New in Shoes" is seen in the b a » -back sandal photographed. This is in black suede with a trio of faille buttons and an Italian heel. It is a handmade custom shoe. The peg-heeled pump (Sketch 1» has a draped bow held with a white enameled button. It comes in black patent or polished calf. The halter sling pump (Sketch 2) is trimmed with a white kid bow and is available in black patent or calfskin. Another halter pump is made with cutouts on the vamp traced in white stitching (Sketch 3) This may be had in high or midway heels, in black patent or calf. The closed shoe (Sketch 4) Is made with

a tapered toe and slim Italian heel and has a white kid edging and button on black patent or calfskin.

GARDENS

Plant Roses When Soil * Is Workable

By Jane Leslie Kilt Roses should be planted just as

soon as ground is workable. In the north this is usually about the first week in April. You will get best results if you choose an open location for the planting. The space must be sunny and where there is a free circulation of air.

Never plant roses near trees or strong-growing shrubbery for the roots will rob the roses of both food and moisture. An ideal site is one that is somewhat protected from winds and where the plants will be sure of sun for half a day, yet are in chade when the sun's rays are hottest.

Roses can be grown successfully in any good soil, provided it is well drained, moisture retaining and rich to plant food. When pre­paring the bed, there are two points to keep in mind. First, the soil should be almost pulver­ized for at least three Inches. Sec­ond, if it is poorly-drained soil it is a good idea to dig down about two feet and place a four to six-inch iayer of gravel at the bottom of the trench.

Roses refuse to do well where there is an excess of water stand­ing in the soil. By following the above procedure all excess water will be carried away and yet the plant's growth will not be inter­fered with and it will have a suf­ficient amount of moisture at all times.

When you have prepared the bed, you are ready to set out the plants. Before planting examine the roots of each plant. All brok­en, bruised or decayed roots should be cut away with a sharp knife—never use scissors. Until you are ready to place the plants in the soil, do not remove the packing around the roots.

Make each hole about 15 inches in diameter and about 12 inches deep. In the case of very large roots It may have to be a little larger. In the planting grafted or budded stock, place the plant in the around so that the union is covered to a depth of two or three inches. Own-root plants should be set at the same depth at which they grew in the nursery, or slightly deeper. After the roses are set and the soil in place, the tops should be cut back to about six inches to balance the size of the tops and the newly-set root system. Otherwise the plants will die because the reduced root system is unable to meet the needs of the large tops.
