The opinion sometimes expressed that
hardy plants need no protection during
winter is not shared in BY persons who
find increased crops where protection is
given. 1t is argued by some that the
strawberry, for instance, Is naturally as
hardy as many other plants which re-
quire and receive no protection what
ever, and SO with the other cultivated
plants, such rs the grape. raspberry, etc.
This is true TO n certain extent. and if
nothing further were looked for than
the mere existence Of a plant it would
net greatly matter whether it received
protection or not But it l. found Ii
practice, says Mr William Saunders,
superintendent OF gardens and grounds
AZ Washington, that 4 proper degree 0f
covering notably increases the crops of
fruit, and it j. well to keep i'll mind
that the best varieties Of our fruit bear
ing plants have been far removed from.
the natural conditions Of their ancestors
and have acquired artificial qualities. az
it were, by careful cultivation, and
which can only be maintained by con
slant attention to their needs. Ii neg
lected they will soon show the ordinary
result Of negligence, and it is only by
giving all the judicious attention and
care which the best experience suggests
that they can develop their greatest
profit and usefulness. But it is also a
common observation that a good prac-
tice may be rendered nugatory by in
judicious application.

deposit. Now the point l wish to get at
is that heavy mulching ON "a cold, heavy

more cold and sodden and theroots more
liable to decay Allowing the tops tore

CONCERNING CHRISTMAS GIFTS.


~ Practical Application.
Now il the season when the Question
Of Christmas gifts ~ jill absorbing-when
the struggle to think of something pretty
and appropriate for each of ones friends
takes half tile happiness out of giving.
and when the lit being at last made
out there Az a sense of relief At task
accomplished rather than Of satisfaction
at a pleasure enjoyed. Besides the per-
sons for whom it is intended to buy
gifts, there are always a few friends
nearer and dearer to whom bit Of the
giver's handiwork viii be more valuable
and significant than anything out Of the
shops. This being the case, a few sug-
gestions as to Christmas offerings may
be welcome.
There is probably no one living who
ever possessed cushions enough. tits i'm
possible to have too many Of them. Those
who have plenty Of down ones would be

shaped and covered with old rose silk.
over which ID scattered an embroidered
design Of two interlinked hearts, one
worked with gold, the other with Grim
SON thread. The cushion i finished
around the edge with heavy silk cord
Of crimson or old rose. Square pillows,
covered with silk furniture damask in an
artistic color-gold, dull blue or crimson
and finished with a cord to match. are
extremely effective and easy to make.
Asachet for evening gloves IS a pretty
gift and Is made with little difficulty.
Sprinkle an even layer Of sachet powder
between two layers of white cotton wad-
ding two feet square, and then lay the
perfumed wadding between two squares
Of thin cheesecloth the same size. Over
cast the edges loosely to hold the LAYERS
together, and tack lightly at intervals
to keep the powder from shifting to one
side when the sachet j. moved. For the
outside use " square Of delicate brocade,
OF of one Of the lovely embroidered stuffs
to be found in the Japanese stores, or IF
satin Ornamented to suit the fancy, only
let it be pale in tone. Line the sachet
with white or very light china silk, turn
in the edges and overland neatly. Turn
over two opposite sides Of the square
nearly six inches, SO that they almost
meet in the middle, and tack them down
firmly at the corners. This gives two
pockets twenty-four inches long and
about six inches wide. Finish the outer
edges with silk gimp or plated ribbon
TO correspond with the material used for
the outside and fold together length
wise.
A set Of sachets for the bottom of the
bureau drawers is a useful gift. Cut
two pieces Of w;udding and two Of thin
china silk 10 exactly fit the drawer.
sprinkle packet of sachet powder be-
tween tie layers Of wadding and put
them between the pieces Of silk, over
casting the raw edges Quilt the sachet
in large diamonds, which may be marked
Oh the silk with French chalk, AZ the
lines can be easily brushed Oil after the
quilting IL DONE Bind THE raw edges
with thin ribbon the color of the silk.
These sachets are prettiest made of un-
figured goods in pale tone of color, and
the quilting and binding should be done
by machine, with a loose tension and
long stitch.
Crochet OH one bar, break the thread
and fasten the end firmly. Crochet the
remaining thirty-six stitches the same
way and fasten on the other bar. Gro
chet together the bottom of the purse
with thirty-six stitches and finish it with
twisted fringe Of loops of beads an
inch deep, one loop in every stitch.
The top and bottom of dainty hand

stiff cardboard five inches in diameter.
Tack Oh one side Of each circle smaller
