mas brocade curtains for a starting
point. The room, a second-story hall
room in a wide, old-fashioned house,
built when land was something less
than thousands of dollars front foot,
was vacant by reason of the fact that
the son and heir is away at college.
The paper, pinkish cream and gold,
and the woodwork, also of pinkish
cream, lent themselves readily to color
scheme of blue and cream, suggested
by the aforesaid brocade curtains of an
exquisite silk and linen texture and of
the most fashionable and delightful
shades of blue.
The door leading into the hall was
taken from its hinges and one of the
wide curtains hung in its place from a
pole of cream enamel and gold. In the
deep window seat was fitted and
cushioned with blue corduroy; Moorish
fretworz was placed across the top,
and from this fell a second curtain, di-
vided in the middle and Topped back at
either side. Close to the glass under
meath the shades the window was cur
tanned with sheer white curtains like
the rest of the house. On the wall at
the right stood capacious box lounge
covered with the brocade. The pillows
had washable covers of white linen en-
broidered with the motif of the bro
cade in blue Roman floss. In the box
underneath some of mademoiselle's
party dresses repose at full length.
Opposite, nearly the whole length of
the room, stand low book shelves of
oak filed with rare and dainty edi-
tions of her favorite authors, while the
top is used for the display of bric-a-
brac and souvenirs of her last trip
abroad. On the right of the window as
you enter is placed the low bamboo
tea table, with its pretty appointments,
and at the left is the oak desk cozily
Uttered with writing materials. Two
low easy chairs, work basket and
some beautiful etchings and photo
graphs in oak or white and gold frames
complete the charming interior.

BILE flower beds. AS many as can be
crushed and crowded together are put
on in every possible way. Fancy collars
of foundation net are sewed thickly with
them, and great punches are set wher-
ever they will prove most snowy and eff
fective. Bunches and other punches held
together by straps of lace or ribbon are
put ON coats, capes and corsages. dag
onal festoons, ending under two large
punches, one at the shoulder and the
other at the waist, are seen. Handsome
masses of violets, with their stems and
leaves in evidence, are set on the bust.
These are generally wide, and most of
them have long flexible sprays of stems
and flowers reaching quite to the waist.
forgot to say that all these are violets.
Some are the darkest, richest color, and
some are of the pale blush variety. The
deep colored ones appear, however, to
be the favOrites.
Many sets are sold consisting of col
lar, pelerine, bouquet, bonnet, corsage
bouquet and muff of velvet or plush,
and these muffs are merely vehicles for
the support of the masses of violets and
the rich green MORE ribbons. The spray
I have mentioned. The pelerine is of
or white, slightly pulled on to a founda-
ton of net cut to fit the shoulders.
There is always thick ruche of leaf1ess
violets at the neck, and another, still
thicker, all the way around the cape,
fastening in front with a large bunch
and two immensely long loops and ends
of green MORE. The bonnet, too, has its
close little bunch. I never saw such a
/ rage for any one thing before. On one
ball dress of printed silk there was q
panel down the right side about eight
inches wide made of one solid mass Of
violets reaching to the bottom of the
skirt. Aside from this, there was ber-
tina of violets massed closely, with 3
fringe made of single flowers on long
flexible Stems. These flowers are very
perfect and altogether lovely. This fad
is very good for trade and is harmless in
itself, except when knickerbockered BIZ

erywhere, but they cost much more than
every one can pay. The flowers are not
so very dear in themselves but the style
and design bring the price up. think

their own floral decorations. Real flow

self respecting person would deign to
wear such common things.
I should add that the sets or any of
the different arrangements of these
flowers are worn with any and all kinds
of garments, from the plainest wool to
the richest velvets. They are added to

Hints That May Prove of Value to the

Every girl wants some spot, be it
never so small, for her very own Conf

room where she is constantly subject to
Interruptions from the friends of her
mamma or her big sister, or where the
younger children have the right of
way. Some place there must be where
she can talk over the last party with
her dearest Aminta, or sit and dream of
the last dance at that party and of GER
tain sweet, whispered nothings; sane
tum where she can perchance let her
maiden fancies overflow in rhymes too
sacred for any eye. If this can be apart
from her bedroom so much the better.
There is often an unused hall room
that can be taken for this purpose, and
only needs little ingenuity on the
part of the fair owner to make it a very
holy of holes.

ing length. The leaf green of the ribbon
made a vivid but not at all unpleasing
contrast with the velvet. Lilac or violet
ribbon can also be suitably used for
decoration.
Next to the flowers in point of popu-
1arity is the rosette. The rosettes are
used to trim skirts, to head festoons and
to add their beauty to collars, stocks and
corsages, to say nothing of millinery.
The lighter the material is the prettier
is the effect. The material really ought
to be cut bias, but sometimes it cannot
be, and in that case requires to be a
trife fuller. The edges are turned to-
gether and run loosely and then gather
ed up. There should be round founda-
ton, and to this the gathered edges are
tackled, beginning from the outer edge
and crushing the inner circle, SO that
the ending does not show. A few deft
touches will then bring it into the de-
sired position. They can be made as full
as is desired. OLIVE HARPER

Training the Plant So That It Always
Looks Fresh and Green.

Training the Plant So That 1t Always
Looks Fresh and Green.
Old plant growers do not need to be
told of the good qualities of the Eng
lish ivy for successful indoor climber;
but those who are just essaying house
plants may be pleased to learn that
with this plant they can have climber
to train up and along the wall, and
over pictures, if desired, and that
it always looks fresh and green.
Its leaves are thick and of leathery
texture, and are capable of withstand
ing the effects of considerable changes
in temperature, of dry air, dust, and all
the other disturbing agencies to plant
life which are present in living rooms.
Planted in ordinary potting soil in
medium-sized pot it is ready to com
mence a growth which will continue
for years, if only it is supplied with
water and kept free from insects It
should be trained in such a manner
that it can be taken down and restored
again to its position, and this can be
done By the use of a good strong cord
or a wire. It is more or less subject to
green fly, as are nearly all other plants,
and it is liable to harbor scale insects.
If the young plant has no scale insects
on it, and there are none on other
plants in the house, it may remain ex-
empt from them indefinitely. It is better,
therefore, to guard this point in start
ing q plant Green fly, of course, is
easily overcome by the well-known
usual methods Sulpho-tobacco soap
perhaps is the best for the purpose in
connection with this and other house
