Some persons seem to have a knack of making plants grow, but this is not so much a gift as an acquired talent. Tho I successful ones study the simple needs ; of the plants, and as a reward for faith- , ful attendance their charge flourishes. | In this connection a writer in The Puri- ■ tan drops the following helpful hints: herns are very easy to procure and ; easy to raise, if one goes about it under- I standingly. It is no uncommon thing to : find fresh, green ferns in the glens of : the New York woods in midwinter. In I Maryland and Virginia they are more common at Christmas time than snow- I birds. In removing these plants from | their native soil, a little earth should be taken also. This-, mixed with plenty I of sand and kept well moistened each | day, will give the needed conditions for natural growth. Ferns are often kept I without being planted at all. A stone I jug, half filled with water, is all that is required to keep the green sprays alive for a month or even more. Mrs. Logan has some pretty ideas in house gardens in her Washington home. Noticeable are the wall pockets covered with natural bark and filled with vines and flowering plants. These pockets may be manufactured from bark picked up during woodland rambles, or, if you are unromantic, a florist will help you out. iu your designs. English ivy makes a beautiful indoor plant and can be trained affectively over pictures or in sunny window corners. Window baskets are in vogue again. Those little hanging cases that made a bit of summer against the winter landscape outdoors should never have gone out of fashion. There are gome persons who can never enter heartily into anything unless it smacks of the faddish. For the benefit of such we mention the fact that a certain college girl and her brother, a graduate of Yale, having caught the fever of planting class ivies, started a few years ago to grow slips of ivy clipped from famous vines. As they have traveled a good deal their collection is quite extensive. A Toilet Water. Take a quarter ounce of attar of roses and mix with a quart of strong spirits of wine. Put these into a close vessel, cork and shake it, then immerse tho bottle in a deep basin full of hot water. When the vessel is warmed through, take it out of the water and shake vigorously until cold. Add a teaspoonful of calcined magnesia, shake again and filter, lastly through close muslin. A few drops of this in a basin of water makes a pleasant water in which to bathe the face and neck. Stuffed Potatoes. Hero is Good Housekeeping’s recipe

for a favorite dish: Bake tho potatoes, cutting off the ends and scooping out tho contents. Mix, when thoroughly mashed, with butter, 2 level tablespoonfuls for 6 potatoes; an egg, well beaten, for the same number; grated cheese. Consult the taste as to the -quantity of ■ cheese to be used. Work soft with milk. Stuff the skins carefully, replacing the ' ends. Put back iu the oven and let them stay long enough to be thoroughly hot Boiled Icing For Cake. Boil 2 cupfuls of sugar with half a cupful of water until it is ropy. Set in a pan into cold water and beat until it is cooled. Then stir into the sugar and water the beaten whites of 2 eggs. Tho Piano Back. Tho piano back has proved itself a feature by no means easy to treat with any degree of satisfaction, and occupying as it usually’ does sucli a conspicuous position of the room its importance cannot very well afford to bo disregarded. Many and various are the arrangements which have been suggested and tried for its decoration, some of them very fantastic and awkward, others too IwiIUBDRAPERY FOP. A PIANO BACK. orate or heavy, while a few only may lay claim to being entirely successful. A simple and at the same time artistic treatment can be carried out with the aid of a drapery of silk or tapestry Sometimes this drapery is made with a narrow heading and fulled upon a nari row btass rod to fall in natural folds to ! the ground; then again it is a double drapery, one material being in a plain color, or it may be finished by some pretty trimmings. Roast Turkey. A turkey weighing nine pounds should bo baked about three hours, or until the joints separate easily. After the first half hour the oven should not be very hot. When cooked, the meat will be dry, unless during the entire cooking process it be kept moist by basting with water and fat. It should receive a thorough basting as often as every 10 or 15 minutes. In addition to the foregoing advice a contributor to the Boston Cooking School Magazine says: Slices of salt pork, fastened over the breast and legs, aid in keeping those parts moist. The same result is effected 1 by means cf larding or drawing little ' matchlike pieces of salt pork (lardoons) j into these joints by means of a larding ■ needle. ■ | “Have a care, sir!” she cried, with | menace iu her tones. “Have a care, sir! I You may go too far with me!” Drawing her regal figure up to its I full height and throwing her queenly head back with an imperious poise, the turned her flashing black eye—flashing with true American spirit, the spirit that springs to warm, pulsating life whenever pride or dignity is threatened with attack—full upon the cringing creature who cowered before her, and in ringing tones again cautioned him: “Have a care, sir! You may go too far with me!” With his whole bearing indicative of foiled, battled malevolence, the ear conductor rang the bell. “Well, I guess dis yere’e yer street!” he hoarsely growled.—New York Journal.

'WOMAN AND FASHION. rhe Latest Modes In Hairdressing. Shell Combs Being Up to Date. Things Women Want to Know. The modes of the season as regards coiffures have declared themselves wi.h distinctiveness. The styles are effective and to the uninitiated seem difficult, of attainment, but women have every aid to easy hairdressing provided by shopkeepers and professional hairdressers. There are patent fringes and coils, inw w NOVEL COIFFURES. deed entire coiffures, which insure a smart effect at the minimum of trouble. There are fringes made on an entirely new system, being without any foundation, so that the natural hair can bo drawn through and blended with it in a perfectly imperceptible manner. It is finished with light tresses of naturally waved hair, to mingle with the wearer’s own at the sides and back of the head. The coil, which is a separate arrangement from the fringe, is dressed and mounted in one of tho several new styles. There are many clever contrivances which assist in dressing one’s own hair, such, for example, as the pompadour roll. This is a circular frame, light and elastic, over which the hair is combed a la pompadour. The prettiest tortoise shell combs for the side and back have some of them ornaments attached to the combs, and there are others through which the loops of hair are drawn. There is evidently a feeling for Spanish combs, which are now of modified form, but are likely to grow larger, and there are several new bow shaped ones, highly ornamented, for the nape of the neck and for side combs. The chief novelties, however, are jeweled pins and brooches, inserted in the full dress coiffure, sc prettily waved and twisted, quite on tho top of the head, a mode wo derive from Paris. There is a new back twist with pretty wing shaped pins intro-

The hair is dressed in accord with current modes, with the addition of the powder. A useful adjunct to hairdressing is waving tongs, by means of which the desired undulations may be acquired without the aid of a professional hairdresser. Up to Date. To be up to date wo wear the newest thing, read the newest book, see the newest play, speak the newest slang, all without any false prudery or inconvenient propriety, which is quite out of date. Honeymoons are out of date, and you don’t lose more than 24 hours of society—such a blessing, for, as every one knows, an up to date girl does not marry the man she loves, seeing that I he could not keep her in the state neces- ; i sary for up to date society. An up to date husband, however, is delicate in his feelings and does not object to his wife’s friends having the run of the house. Ono word more as to being up to date. You will have to remember that the wheel revolves at a rapid pace. We hurry on, and what was up to date yesterday is gone by today. Already the fickle’ crowd has got tired of the new woman, and the problem question is growing flat and tiresome. Some novelty is wanting. We are tired of heavenly twins and princesses and butterflies; wc are sick of women cyclists and lady golfers. What is up to date society to do to keep up its appetite for novelty? When the Engagement Is Broken. The etiquette of today demands that if any engagement be broken off after it has been publicly announced that the girl’s mother make her friends and acquaintances aware of the fact. All letters and presents that have been received by either of the fiances from the ; other should lie returned, and the bride I elect should return her engagement ring as well. If the wedding is so near that gifts have begun to come in from friends on both sides, those gifts should also be returned, with letters of explanation. It would be in the worst possible taste to keep the presents when the reason for them is at an end. Tiling's Women Wont to Know. Narrow ruches of lace are supersed- . iug the black chiffon frills nsed to edge collars, epaulets and revers. The English bride’s traveling dress is ’ i invariably gray lined with heliotrope ’ silk. Rare and expensive are pear shaped ■ pearls. The demand is largely in excess 1 of the supply. White cloth skirts are considered j very chic to wear with the fancy blouse waist for semievening dress. j Roman sash ribbons are employed [ very prettily for vests, and also for t sashes on tea gowns.

Thumbs Up! A delicious story is told at the expense of an ingenue. She was at a dinner party. It was her first, and she was bravely hiding the fact that she was j nervous. With the ices small cakes cov- : ered with pink sugar were served. The ! maiden surveyed tho plate when it was passed to her and- saw a solitary cake on the farther side covered with chocolate. “I will take this,” she gurgled sweetly ; and essayed to take it up. It remained, however, firmly fastened to the dish. A flutter of attention spread through the company. All eyes were fastened on her and hers in turn upon the. chocolate cake. The sable waiter rolled his eyes and grinned. "Beg pardon, miss,” he murmured, “but that’s mine.” Then he shifted his thumb.—Toronto Globe.
