The bill providing municipal suffrage
for women has again been beaten in
the Massachusetts, legislature. This is
the twenty-tifth annual defeat which a
female suffrage measure has encoun-
tered in that body; and as the adverse
vote was quite as crushing as on any
previous occasion, the reform seems as
far off as ever. However, the Massa-
chusetts reformers are patient and
long suffering; and the measure will
put in an appearance at Boston an
nually for many years to come, per-
haps until it is adopted.

cry and was brought tc this country by
Mrs. Stanley. 1t is called Lilly of the

that linger along the great African riv-

covered that its subtle aroma may be
easily duplicated from the common
lilies which CROWN marshes, and has put
his idea into profitable practice by not
only utilizing the scent but also the
stalks of this plant, the latter being
woven into ''Stanlev'' mats.

THE WINDOW GARDEN,

Some SeasOnablc Hints AS to Its Function
by an Expert.
Edgar Sanders, the veteran floricul-
turist, in his department, "Garden and
Lawn" gossips thus-wise of the window
garden: Plants in the dwelling are evil
IDENTIFY on the increase. Pass down al
most any street and many of the win
dOws will be seen to have some kind of
greenery within. Even city stores have
plants, often used as part of the attrac-
tion-and why not? AS cities become
larger the less green trees and grass one
can see without going away out into the
outskirts to find them. A bit of natures
green harmonizes in almost any position
you place it, while there are plenty of
florists nowadays to grow the kind of
plants suitable for the purpose. 1t is
seldom opening" days are allowed to
pass without the attraction of plants
and flowers as well as the goods exposed
for sale. Even art galleries when any
special attraction is going on, find hooks
that with deft hands lend special en-
chantment by the use of few palms
and other fine foliage plants, with
very few fine, long-stemmed flow
ers for bits of natural coloring. The
old-fashioneI English ivy, so-called,
standing in bracket near enough to
have the living green twined over a
picture or festooned across pier glass,
running up or even falling down care
fully at the side of window, with per-
haps single palm or fine begonia as a
center object, is a modest but effective
bit of green tracery.
Those who like grand and perfect
specimens of plants rather than mixed
medley of small pots need only keep
them away from others to get them
Plants can not grow shapely in the
window any more than woods if packed
close together. Side light is what every
plant seeks for: if it can not get it at the
sides then it will have bare stems with
bushy head of leaves at the top, like
the trees in the wood. You may group
enough of these naked-stemmed plants
together, with the tall at the back and
the shorter at the sides so as to make
an effective greenery as whole, but no
individuality of expression of particular
plants. Except you have fancy for
this kind of beauty better grow fewer
but perfect specimens.
Another thing-a medley of small, ILL
shaped plants, however we'll arranged,
do not harmonic with rich furniture,
. although not SO noticeable in the kitchen
or the sitting-room of the cottage.
Think Of these things and see II t IA
not so.-Prairie Farmer.
