A certain lady high in the social world of
of London makes it rule to stay in bed one
day a week in order to sleep off all feeling
of fatigue. Women who believe in the
"beauty sleep" and get two hours sleep
every night before II, manage to keep fresh
and unwrinkled up to 35. It's seven hours
for q man, eight for a woman and nine for a
fool, according to the old saying; but many
ambitious women claim that they have to
do with six hours sleep, as their social and
other duties are so heavy. The London
season makes sad havoc of the debutantes
They look very jaded and worn before it
comes to an end. Women can stand late
hours better than girls. Many women make
it rule to have a nap every afternoon be-

The most welcome of the spring flowers is
the little snowdrop, which pushes its bloom
into existence on the hlllsides before the
often on the ground when the snowdrop is
budding, and no matter how rough and
cold the spring weather may be the hardy
little flower will bravely grow and develop
SO as to get the start of all others when
brighter skies reign. The snowdrop can be
cultivated successfully, but to have them
bloom early they should be planted as far
back as New Years. The several varieties
of cultivated snowdrops are all beautiful, as
we'll as the snowfakes, which are closely
allied to the former. The bulbs should be
planted in the open border under trees and
shrubs They should be placed in the soil
and then hattened down with the hahd or
trowel. The snowdrop and snowflake are
difficult to force, but sometimes by giving
them heat they will blossom little earlier.
If grown for the house the bulbs should be
planted thickly in shallow pans and placed
in sheltered place outdoors. AS soon as
the buds begin TO show they should be
brought inside, but very little heat should
be given to them or they will produce moth
ing but leaves.

The winter aconite is one Of the early
flowers the ladies love. The plant is
pretty one, and it produces small yellow
blossoms, surrounded by finely divided
green leaves. 1t appears very early in the
spring on shady banks and in the woods.
and continues to blossom for about two
months. They may be raised from seed,
which should be sown in the garden as soon
as ripe. They are hardy plants all over this
country, and they always give a pleasing
effect when blossoming under the waving
boughs of evergreen on the lawn. The soil
should be made rich and strong, and the
roots placed about two inches deep in it.
Those who 20 to the hills early in the spring
for flowers invariably gather the winter
aconite, the snowdrops and snowhakes,
along with the trailing arbutus, and all of
them find ready sale on the city flower
stands.
