Children's Bedspreads and Pillow-Slips.
Bedspreads and plllow-slips designed
for nursery use should be dainty and dec
orative, and at the same time both strong
and serviceable.
1t is really not enough that the little
people are warmly covered and snugly
tucked in their tiney beds, they invari-
ably SHOULD see them tastefully draped,
if we hope to develop that love of beauti-
full and appropriate surroundings which
is one of the truest tests of the gentleman
and gentlewoman.
The spreads which drape the children s
beds, and the slips which cover their pill
lows by day should be good in color, SIM
pie in decoration, and durable in material.
They should be selected with view to re-
peated cleansings, and to meet harder
usage than falls to the lot of older peo
pies spreads: but as the child has need to
learn this lesson of order and the care to
be given to beautiful things committed to
it's use, it-should be taught to refrain
from romping over the bed and from ILL
treating the dainty cover by placing upon
it picture books and dolls and toys-dis-
order often to be observed in nurseries.
The spreads should be neatly folded and
laid away when the little ones go to their
nightly rest, and the embroidered slips
should be replaced by others of plain
snowy white. Beauty should in no way
be allowed to interfere with use, but, on
the other hand, the useful should never
be permitted to SO completely dominate
as to exclude all aesthetic training. The
nursery which is daintily equipped, will

prototypes grow. The daisy spread is
finished with hem tree-stitched in
white, and the slip with a ruffie, edged
with narrow lace. Together they will
perfectly decorate any nursery bed.
Another and equally suitable spread is
made of cream white gobelin cloth. In
one corner is embroidered bunch OF
fringed gentians, tied with ribbon,
that wanders with graceful outline
around the sides. The edges of the cloth
are buttonholed with stitches of irregular
length worked with heavy blue floss. The
line that marks the centre square is out
lined with some of the same silk; the
flowers are embroidered in their natural
color, and the ribbon, with the same blue
as is used for the edge.
Besides the newer materials, such as the
linen and goDelin cloth just mentioned,
there are a number of simple and more
familiar cloths that can be relied on to
give satisfaction for this work. Linen
monte closh is an old and tried friend
that never fails; huckaback can be de-
pended on for all the uses to which it can
be put, and even homely white cotton sat
teen will do good service as covering for
both pillows and beds.
The dogwood spread is made of fine
linen huckaback. Around it's four sides
is border of dogwood blossoms, which
are outlined only with heavy white linen

floss, on background darned thickly
with old pink. Through the centre of the
spread diagonal lines are darned here and
there, at regular intervals, also with old
pink, and the whole is lined with some
soft linen or cotton cloth. The blossoms
on the pink border have the richness and
quality of brocade, and as the color is as
charming as color can be, the simple
spread warrants my highest commenda-
ton.
Hundreds of designs and suggestions
for color combina ions might be offered,
but this can safely be left to the mother
taste and Judgment. 1t is for me to tell
only of what the shops contain OF the
good things that can be done, and to show
some of the results obtained with sim
plest things.

Queen Margaret college is about ten
minutes walk from the other university
buildings. Standing in an open space
of moderate size and shut in by high
wall, it has a somewhat secluded air.

cred until the soil again appears

again watered until the soil again appears
to be dry.
Never keep the pots standing in sau-
GERS of water. Although it is very impor
tant to water SO thoroughly that roots
and soil in the bottom of the pot should
be completely saturated, it is Injurious to
have them constantly in water. Such
treatment to most plants opens the door
to rheumatism or consumption when the
most skilled doctor experiences the great
difficulty in effecting a cure.
After so supplying those in need, all of
the plants should be sprinkled over their
foliage by syringe OF sprinkling can. The
syringe is the best, as the water strikes
the foliage with force enough to remove
dust and insects. This overhead water

wetting the soil, as but small portion of
water reaches it.
We are in the habit in our rose houses
of applying water to the foliage with a
one-inch hose attached to a steam pump,
when the water strikes the plants with a
force that frequently upsets many of the
pots and gives all the plants such lean
ing position that at times we have to lift
them up-but woe to all insects and dirt
that may have been on the plants, also to
the unlucky wight, greenhouse man or
boy, who unwittingly gets in range with
the hose.

The florists by constant care IN feed

plant up to the highest condition, in full
foliage and in bloom, the pots crowded
with roots until pot, soil and roots are al
most inseparable. The natural tendency
when this point is reached is for the plant
to decline even if allowed to remain in the
greenhouse under the best care of the
gardener.
If such plants are to be kept in growing
condition, the bloom shoots should be re-
moved when they begin to show evidence
of decline; next, the plants should be re-

the college had only art classes, with a

Mrs. Elder and other ladies. The bazaar
was opened for that day by Lady Shaw
Stuart.
There was everything for sale, from a
truck of coal and barrel of sugar to an
album de luxe valued at l25 guineas, and
containing original sketches, among them
one in colors by the Empress Frederick
of Germany, and another by the famous
cat painter, Henriette Bonner.
A very pretty painted screen, the work

Queen Margaret college had its rise in
an Association for the Higher Education
of Women, founded in 1877 at Glasgow by
Mrs. Campbell OF Tullichewan castle and
other ladies.
In the following year rooms we're taken
IN st. Andrews hall and course of twelve
short lectures was given. But still the
women cried for ''morel' a Ia Oliver
Twist, ard despite the beadles-the in
creduious beadle who did not believe
women would avail themselves of uni
versities if they had them, and the an
tagonistic beadle who was firm in the be-
lief that education, like politics, would
unsex women-despite these, the twelve
lectures grew to twenty and TO forty, and
still on in ever widening ratio, till a per-
1nanent organization was judged necessary
and Queen Margaret college was born A.
ID. 1888.
But a college must be adequately
housed, and the same year Mrs. John
Elder came forward with the generous
gift of North Park house, bought for
412, 900. She offered this rent free, max
ing the absolute conveyance of it con-
diriOnal upon the raising of an endow
ment fund of 500, 000 OF this endowment
SIS, 900 was raised largely through the
untlring efforts of Mrs. Campbell, vice
president of the college; and as one of the
speakers at the opening OF Queen
Margaret college bazaar remarked. the
college may be named Queen Margaret"
but its real saints Will always be Mrs.
Elder and Mrs. Campbell.
A portion of the els, 600 was neces-
sarily expended for alterations anL addi-
tions. A laboratory was built and ap-
paratus and furniture bought. So in
1891 a prospectus was sent out announc-
ing bazaar for November, 1892, for
the further raising OF e10, 0o0.
Meanwhile Ordinance 1872 WIS issued.
In view of this ordinance, the council of
Queen Margaret decided that its best in
terests would be served by transferring it
to the ancient university to be incorpor-
ated therein. The offer was made and ac-
cepted by the university court, and Queen
Margaret college, with its endowments,
present and prospective, is now an in
tegraI part of said uniyersity-its build
ings and its endowments to be reserved
exclusively for the education of women.

JULIETTE SLIPPERS.
Decidedly the most popular styles
among q considerable choice are the
Juliette slippers for home and evening
wear. These SAVIOR of Italian and French
origin. The low Butchers for out-of-door
wear are English, as the name suggests,
and the very antipodes of your Andalu
sian ideas.
The correct Juliette slipper consists of a
LONG seamless vamp, from a daintily
pointed or rounded toe clear up over the
instep 70 the ankle. 1t must be slashed
at the sides, and another distinct piece
fitted round the heel extending to very
nearly parallel with the vamp at the
back. The heel should be small, and the
yulgarity of extremes avoided in choosing
a moderate height. The trimmings
should be soft, heecy Innings and borders
of parti- colored embroiderles in silk or
beads and various furs. The slipper
should match perfectly the color of the
the gown. That carries out one artistic
line OF color from the corsage down.
1t is now considered passe to contrast
slippers with evening or house gowns.
The favorite and fashionable materials
are suede, silk and satin for evening, with
large rosettes OF the same hue.
DESIRABLE HOUSE SLIPPERS.
For house use brilliant scarlet supple
French kid, laced or tied with ribbons to
match and no other ornament of any
kind, is very effective. Dull, hver-coI-
ored snakeskin makes an expensive and
lust now fashionable slipper, and for
morning wear low Butchers of calfslzin
foxed with kangaroo, sometimes with
patent leather, amply perforated, form
the strictly useful article albeit quite
stylish.

For the embroidery there are to be

of Asiatic and unfading dyes. The linen
f1osses are scarcely less beautiful or varied
in their colors. The soft white raw silk
takes place between the two.
AS for the patterns to be worked, there
are numberless suggestions to be found
in the flowers and the grasses OF the

CARE OF PLANTS IN THE LIVING
ROOM.
Rules for Watering, buying Plants
in Bloom

Rules for Watering, buying Plants
in Bloom.
The growing of plants in the dwelling
house interests as many persons as any
other phase of gardening. Few persons
living in cities have opportunities for
outdoor gardening. and if they grow
plants at all they must grow them in
doors. Women especially take pleasure
in having their plants beside them in the
house SO that they may give them care at
all needful times.
There is no gardening, however, at
tended withImore difficulties, for there are
but few plants that grow so well in the
house as they do in the open air or in a
greenhouse exposed to full light and sun
shine. SO 1t is important to start right
1 by selecting the varieties that are known
to take most kindly to the unfavorable
conditions of partial light and dry at
mosphere. After the selection comes the
treatment and their needs are as varied
as their names.
However, all difficulties will be mas
tered by those who love their plants. AS
Canon Hole says: 'sHe who would have
beautiful roses in his garden must have
beautiful roses in his heart. He must
love them well and always. To win he
must WOO, as Jacob wooed Laban S
daughter. He must have the tenderness,
the thoughtfulness, the reverence, the
watcnfulueSs of love- / agree with him,
there must exist love; the knowledge how
i best to care for them will follow.
But If this knowledge is to be attained
through experience alone, there will be
many disappointments to the use-plant
gardener.
HOW TO GIVE WATER.
The plants which are the very easiest to
succeed with indoors are those known as
| hard-leaf plants, such as palm, ficus
elastica rubber plants) and aspidistias.
One reason for this ia that they can be
washed freq uently with sponge and water,
using any good soap, whale oil soap be-
! ing preferable, as it 10 destructive to in
sect life. After such washing the plants
should be rinsed with clean water applied
with syringe or watering can. Never
leave the soapy water to dry on the leaves.
Watering is an important item in
the management or pot plants any,
where, SO much so that among florists it
is said that the man who can water prop
erly may be considered competent gard
ener. If the pots have been properly
drained the plants are not liable to be in
! lur6d by overwhelming.
| Still the work calls for care Indis-
criminate watering will not do. Also I'M
der the same conditions there will be a
great difference as to the moisture of
plants placed side by side. A few abso-
lutte rules can be given. In winter it
must not be done in the evening, as it
tends to lowering the temperature. The
gardener must judge the condition OF
each by sight and also by touch, and he
must apply water only TO those showing
dryness. 1t should be slightly warm. Ii
should be poured on the top of the soil in
the pot until it runs out freely at the hole
IN the bottom. The plant should not be
