Begonias as Window Plants.

Begonias to be grown at their best
should have porous rich soil, with the
addition of little leaf mold. be well
drained, not allowed to get pot-bound,
and have their roots kept moist. The
air should be kept moist by having a
dish of water on the stove, or radiator
if you have steam heat, or the water
pan should be kept full if you have
furnace-heat A large coarse sponge
filled with water and laid among the
pots is help. The Rex type of Be-
gonias are little difficult TO grow out
of the greenhouse, but if you will give
them little extra care they will repay
you. They are worth it. You cannot
find any plant with more beautiful col
orings and markings. They must be
kept warm (not below so degrees at
night. but do not want the sun to
shine directly OH them. They will not
thrive if dust gets on their leaves, and
do not care to have their leaves wet.
They will not thrive in dry air. The
very best place for them is in the fern
cry under glass; there they are perfect
ly at home. If you have no fernery,
the next best thing is a round glass
globe with terra-cotta or zinc-pan.
A good sized plant will grow under a
globe twelve inches in diameter. Such
an one has lived for three years under
a globe of this size and shows no symp-
toms of dying yet. The pan is well
drained, soil largely leaf mold. Itsets
on a small table at the back of bay
window where it has no direct sun.
The globe is raised every morning and
the moisture wiped out. 1t needs water
but seldom. They do not like to be
turned, but let the leaves grow in one
position. One can be grown in the
open air of the sitting-room, good
sized plant in well drained six-inch
pot. Set it in saucer made for an
eight-inch pot, after brick is put in
it. Keep the brick moist all the time
by putting water in the saucer. 1t will
draw up the moisture just enough to
keep the roots moist. The water must
be renewed every day so it will not
grow stale. Good Housekeeping.

TO BE CONTINUED.
The Glory is in the Hat.

The glory of woman's toilet is her
hat. To her it is dearer and of more
concern than even the fold, the texture,
the cut, and the make of her robe. Her
hat is the cynosure of the eyes of all
her female acquaintance, the attractive
point which brings the gaze and criti-
cism of her gentle women friends.
Curiously enough, however. there is
nothing about her dress that is more of
a mystery to her. From the tap of her
nicely-iitting shoes to the top of her
well-shaped hat the best informed wo-
man of the world knows more about
every article that goes to make up her
toilet than she does about the head
gear which, next to woman's hair. is
her true glory. or course every wo-
man is aware of the texture of a felt
hat, but this article IS intended to
solve the mystery surrounding straw
hats.
. What are women's straw hats made
OFF 1t seems a simple question and
yet it is not one that the ordinary wo-
man can well and truly answer. The
braids are all imported; many from
China. If were to tell young lady
that the hat she wore was made of straw
from the plantation of the Emperor of
China, / doubt if she would believe me,
and yet it is so. Some of the braid is
called Neapolitaa and is wide and
coarse. The straw of what is known
as Neapolitan pearledge is found in
Chu Foo. 1t grows tall and the top is
fine and the bottom coarse, one stalk
thus giving two or more kinds of braid.
Venetian grows tall and is the opposite
of Neapolitan pearledge, whose base is
coarse. The top of the Venetian is
coarse and is called notified braid.
The center is somewhat finer, and of
the stalks which are nearest the ground
is made the fine Xenotian braid.
