A cup of clam broth made from
fresh clans and unseasoned is most
acceptible bit of nourishment after a
sick headache Often the stomach
will tolerate when all other forms of
food are exceedingly distasteful. The
broth should be made strong, and can
then be diluted according to taste
A little of it may be frozen, or di-
luted with ice water. if cold food is
advisable. If at Il distance from sup.
plies. it is well to have few bottles
of clam juice in the store room.
sIDE-LACED CARRIERS.
Side-laced garters We're very popular
about twenty years ago. They were
neat fitting and always looked well
on the feet. The process of lacing
was. however, very tedious, and when
button shoes were introduced they at
once jumped into popular favor be-
cause of their ease of adjustment. The
indications now are that along with
congress. the side lace is again coming
into favor. The old style, with the
lacing running up the center of the
inside quarter. will appear in most Of
the lines, but some of the houses max
ing fine goods are introducing new
lap is put Oh, but the method of
trimming rests with the manufacturer
If q circular vamp is used, the out
side wing may be cut the usual length,
but the inside wing should be short
encd very abruptly in order to open
the shoe we'll forward and allow it to
go on easily.
But one lace is used At the lower
| end the lace is carried over and over,
rs in most mems shoes. through about
six pairs of eyelets. Above that the
lace ziszass over small studs,
! and is caught at the top over a Stimp-
son clasp. This method entirely does
away with the old annoyance with
! laces, and IA lady can fasten her shoes
| as readily as she does her gloves. The
| line of studs follows the cavity on the
! inside of the ankle, back of the ankle
bone. to avoid any chance of striking
/ in walking.
WINDOW GARDENING.
! Most window gardens are filled with
! {; miscellaneous selection of sO-called
! towering plants whose few poor, scat
tering blossoms scarcely pay for their
care and might with profit give place
! to those without beauty of flower,
| but whose foliage is at least attrac-
| tive. Indeed, so often is this the ease
that many houscholders are Danish
| ing all lowering plants. depending
! solely upon palms, aspedistras etc,
| for their window adOrnmont.
But, if one prefers flowers to foliage
and most people do-this is all
| wrong a few fine foliage plants are
indeed attractive, but they do not
| take The place of fragrant blossoms
that never seem half so lovely as
when all outside nature is hidden be-
meath snow and ice. 1t is not neces-
| Sary for the window to be fiowerless,
even with the poor facilities of the
common living room, if the following
rules are adhered TO:
/. Select only such plants as are
| winter boomers.
. ChocEc only those that will
thrive i'll the temperature at which
you keep you're room. Select carefully
to suit the amount of sunshine or
shade i'll your window.
3 Examine every plant to make
sure that it is entirely free from i'll
srctS before bringing to the swindow
in the autumn.
| f. Shower the leaves of your plants
once Il week to keep down dust and
insects. If insects appear, fight them
at once: and never give up until they
| are routed.
>. Keep Towering plants i'll small
or medium sized pots. See that the
soil is rich, til" drainage an inch deep
ut bottom of pot. and a crust of hard
earth is never allowed to form at the
top of the pot.
6. Water only when dry, then give
sufficient water to wet to the bottom
of the pot. BE charry of water in
severely cold weather.
I Z. Turn the pots frequently. pinch
off withcrcd flowers and faded leaves.
Allow all Holland bulbs to root six
or eight weeks in the dark before
bringing to the window.
8. Give weak liquid manure once a
fortnight to all plants showing buds
never to half-grown plants.
To comment Il little on these rules.
1t is useless to select summer bios
SomclS for the house in winter. A
few begonas. abutiIOns and petunias
are practically ever-biCOmerS, but
most plants must have their season Of
rest.
Few roses. geraniumS or fuchsiaS
bloom well in winter, but these few
any florist can name. Albums, ager-
atums. cannas, cyclamen, cinerarias,
petuniaS, nicotiana, callas. the Ota-
heite orange, hyacnths. paper white
and double Roman narcisslfs, and
stlrest boomers for the beginner.
. Nearly all plants can be grown in
n moderately warm room, but in either
IL very warm or quite cool room the
choice must be more restricted.
For instance. begOniaS. heliotropes,
impatients. sutani. salvias and tor
entiaS would soon come to grief in q
low temperature unless protected
well at night, while they would
flourish iii the warm room. The exact
reverse would be the case with car
: ! nations, ten-week-stocks and camel
lifs. In the same way begonias, prinl-
, ulas, nicotina and few other plants
will flower well in a shady window,
= while roses, geraniums and hello
tropes must have sun, and plenty OF
! it, to bloom.
1t is the attention to the minutia of
plant culture that makes the success
fuI amateur. Yet these rules are not
burdensome to the true flower lover,
for it is not a task to minister to our
friends reasonable wants, as our
