BEAUTIFUL TREES FOR THE WINTER
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.1

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.1
There are no plants more admired than
the fuchsias when successfully grown In
pots, and the ornamental value of their
flowers and leaves is only surpassed by the
choice hybrid roses and few of the exotic
palms. They are among the most prolific
perennial bloomers, aud where the climate
and surroundings are favorable they attain
such size and form that they resemble
shrubs or even trees rather than small
flower plants.
On the Isle of Man O scarlet fuchsia has
been growing ever since 1884, and it has now
attained the size of small tree, being 10
feet high, with girth at its top of 80 feet.
1t was planted by servant girl, who made
a hole In the ground and inserted cutting
OF the fuchsia in it. In the South of Ireland
the fuchsias are used for garden hedges and
the brilliant pendant flowers form beautiful
boundary lines to the places. In Chile,
however, the fuchsias are found in their
wild, native state, and they average the
largest dimensions there, and when culti-
waited their flowers reach the highest perfec-
tion of coloring.
Inc fuchsIas are not easily propagated by
amateurs and very few have excellent sue
cess with them, either in cultiyating them
for the garden, the conservatory or the win
dow garden. The impression seems to pre-
vail among many that the plants are winter
oloomerS, while in reality there is only one
species that is worth growing for winter flower
ing and that is the well-known speciosa. with
It's large pink and red flowers. Failure is ex-
perlenced because amateurs attempt to make
winter boomers out of the plants when sum
mer and early fall are the proper seasons for
their blossoms. Florists, by careful cultiva-
tlOn and surroundings, may make them bloom
during the middle of winter but for ordinary
cultivation they cannot be depended upon for
winter use. The pots should be kept IN the
cellar during winter and brought out in March,
when half of the top of the plants should be
cut OIL, and warmth. light and water be given
to them.
The fuchsias need plenty of root'room and if
the SOIL IN the pots becomes filled with the
small roots, the plants should be shifted to
larger pots. The plants like light, but not hot
sunshine, and the pots should never be placed
In very sunny windows. Every other day the
plants should be syrnged over with clear water
to Keep the leaves clean and the roots moist
For weddings, dinners and receptions fuchsias
are always appropriate, but expensive The
florists have to receive something for the risk
they take. ELLA SPARR

ONE PHASE OF SOCIAL TYRANNY.
Ladies Who Drag Their Hubbies to Parties
Make a Mistake.

Ladies' Who Drag Their Hubbies to Parties
Make Mistake.
In one of his interesting Lenten talks one
afternoon last week, the Rev. D. Parker
Morgan, rector, sounded warning against
the thoughtless conduct of fashionable wives
and daughters in dragging overworked busi-
ness men out to balls and parties night after
night, saws the New York Times. No man,
the preacher argued, could go home from
business after hard days work, eat
hearty dinner and then plunge into the ex-
citement of some social entertainment with
ont feeling the worse for it. And when, as
ia the case with some families, such a prac-
tice is kept up night after night, it means
physical ruin and perhaps death to the head
of the family.
A man who taxes his brain and his nery-
ous force to the utmost in his daily business
needs all the rest that he can get at night.
Ordinarily he has no inclination to lead
gay life socially, but goes out nights simply
to oblige his wife and daughters DIR. Nor
gan solemnly urged the fashionable women
of New York society to be more considerate
in their social demands upon their over
worked husbands and fathers.

TREES IN THE WINTER TIME.

People Make Mistake in Running EI-
clusIvely to Evergreens
To many people trees are only attractive
when they are clothed with leaves, and ow-
ing to this fact the almost general use of ever
green shrubs and trees for ornamental purposes
has sprung into practice. But we only realize
the strrdiness of the oak in winter wnen
leaves no longer disguise the knotted strength
of its limbs. The birch is the most graceful
and attractive when shJrn of its leaves and
the marvellous structure of the elms is only
fully realized when their limbs and branches
are bare of leaves. In the winter the eve is un-
disturbed by the masses of foliage on the trees,
and the full beauty and variety of the bark col
oring are then taken in and made a prominent
feature of the landscape There is something
GRAND and graceful about the toll, leaiess pop
lar in winter and the white-baTked hickory
has something to show in Its bark and peculiar
shape.
If nothing but eVergreens are planted there
is no apparent change from winter to summer,
and the eve becomes wearied at the mOnotO-
nous sight Besides. the homes that are closely
surrounded by the heayily-fOliaged eVergreen5
will invariably be damp ana unhealthful IL
the spruce and pine trees are kept long enough

the sunlight. All of this IS avoided by placing
deciduous trees nearest to the house and by
sprinkling them around on the lawn In the

shades darker than the cloth, and the coat
appeared to be somewhat longer than that
which has been the rage. Such dress
would make any woman look important.
Skirts are as severe as ever. They look
we'll on a sylph, but stout figure
is at great disadvantage in a
clinging skirt. In gowns for mature wearers
the straight outlines should be softened by
the introduction of few folds in front or a
panel at the side. Some of the new skirts
are slit open on either side to reveal a
glimpse of a silk petticoat in a contrasting
color. Sensible women will be sorry to hear
that all new outdoor gowns have demi-
trains. Those who have cleanly notions con-
cerning dress will ignore the innovation.
Trailing dresses are not only unclean, they
are frightfully expensive. for the hens get
frayed out before they have been in wear a
week. Lozenge spots, rings, line-stripes
and waters are the patterns that will be most
in vogue this season. A very distinguished
gown in light gray, patterned with stripes
and waters, had a scarlet silk waistcoat and
a smart bodice furnished with long front
ends to simulate a coat. The sleeves were
slashed with scarlet.
The newest bonnets in London, saws one
of The DISPATCH'S London correspon-
dents, are covered with tiny spring flowers,
sewn on to lace foundation. L had a chat
with one of the greatest lady milliners in
London the other dav; she told me that
fashionable women now always have their
hats and bonnets made to order, in fact, to
fit, and she said that for her part she would
always much rather make bonnet to order
than sell bonnet already made up. IA
woman's head gear" she exclaimed, sis
quite as much part of herself as her gown,
and is 20 times as important, seeing that it
serves as a background, and frames the face
OF the wearer. Madam VIrot always makes
up her bonnets on a model, exactly as a
hairdresser dresses the hair, and l am going
to adopt the same plan. No, 1 disapprove
of all set shapes, and prefer to work on a
very soft wire foundation, that can be
twisted about this way and that, so as to
suit the shape of the head of the wearer for
whom the bonnet is being made. The
prettiest flower suitable for these new
blossom bonnets is the violet. l recommend d
