A cubic foot of soil is suf- ficient for each water lily plant. This will require a box a foot square and a foot deep in which to plant the lily roots. A box 18 inches by 18 inches by 6 inch- es deep will also be satisfactory. 1Vhen placing the boxes in the pool they should be blocked up with bricks or stones so that the top of the soil will be approx- imately eight inches below the level of the water. If the plants are not set out in boxes suffici- ent soil should be placed in the pool to bring the top of the soil to within eight inches of the toy. However, if you plan to have fish in the pool it is better to place the plants in boxes, thus leaving more water for the fish. While most pool lovers drain the pool in the fall and take the fish and plants inside for the winter, it'is not really necessary to do this if you don't mind spending a few dollars to provide the necessary materials to pro- tect the pool from freezing. This won't cost a great deal if the pool is a small one. It is only necessary to secure sufficient window sash to cover the pool in somewhat the same manner as you would build the frame for a cold frame. Slope the win- dows toward the south so as to catch afi of the sun's warming rays possible. Bank up around the sides of the frame with earth or other protecting materials. In cold weather throw over the win- dows some matting or old carpet or cover with straw if nothing else is available. The fish and plants will thrive all winter and will prove a de- light for the whole family. If the frame over the pool is air- tight it should be lifted occasion ally to supply fresh oxygen for the plants and fish. If the lily plants are taken in- doors they should be kept at a temperature of from 40 to 60 degrees. The basement is usual- ly a suitable place. Leave the plants in the boxes and cover with burlap and keep it wet so that the roots won't dry out. Don't be afraid of rot. Remem- ber that the plants thrive in water. Tropical lily plants are usually grown from seed each year, ivhile hardy lilies may be winter- ed over. The hardy lilies have a fairly definite blooming period whik the tropical varieties will bloom until cut down by frost.

The minister glanced over it hurriedly and announced: "Peter Bowers, having gone to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congregation for his safety."
