POTTED PALMS.
Artificial Light and Dust Are Disns-
frOus to Them

indoor plants, especially palms, need
very careful attention, indeed, If the
housewife desires them to appear in a
healthy and fiourishing condition. A very
important thing TO be observed in the cul-
ture Of palms Is that the leaves are
Kept as free from dust as possible. The
surface OF the leaves are the lungs of the
plant, and II the pores once become clog
ged the palm suffers. Thus the house
wife should see that the leaves are wash
ed down az least once Il week with a
sponge, while the root should be well
syringed as required.
II you stand a palm in the window. be
careful that you turn the pot round every
day, so that one side Of the plant does
not get the sole benefit OF the SUMS r:ys.
And, as regarding the pot, be sure that
you get one sufficiently large, as other
wise your beautiful palm will soon show
signs OF falling. When the blinds are
drawn and the gas is lighted, remove
your plants to the conservatory or other
cool place. as few things are so damaging
as artificial light.
One Of the greatest palm fanciers I'm
London IS said TO have discovered that
the leaves should be washed, not with
pure water, but milk and water, which
has wonderful effect OF preserving them.
and preventing the appearance OF the
brown spots. which are so dslguring.

have committed themselves to the GUS

ridiculous than that men should wear

GIRLS AND THEIR BROTHERS.
one Explanation of the Popularity
Of Some Maidenx.


Have you any idea how popular you be-
come II you are n girl whose brother is
entering upon the dancing and eligible
stage? 1t is a thing really beautiful to
contemplate, the sweet affection and
thoughtfulness OF the girls who either
know or want to know your brother. says
a writer in the Washington Star. 1t is
one OF the several pleasant things con-
nected with the growing UP what was a
small brother Girls call that never
called before. The debutantes cover YOU
with delicate attentions. II you are OF an
unsuspicious disposition you will think
the charm lies in yourself; but IL you
are moderately sharp you Will see through
1t. You are invited TO small affairs OF
the buds that reason will tell you you
would not be thought an addition to
were II not for the halo of glory that a
young man brother poises above your
brow. You see so much of the fine side
OF girl nature that you gradually reform
the rather severe judgments that you
made from your own experiences with
your own sex; perhaps girls are better
than you believed after all. There is not
much danger OF your ever having too
good an opinion of girl nature however.
For May will in the course Of a nice,
cosey afternoon tea chat tell you how I'M
tidy Bess and Dodo and Lily are. and
how Katy and Julia and Clara and "atl
the other girls" smoke cigarettes, and
how Lizzie and Helen and Anna and Maud
let the men hold their hands. And Bess
or Julia or Helen will drop in some morn
ing and tell you just about the same
thing. only that Mays name will appear
in all the lists of sinners and the speak
er's name will be conspicuous by its alb
sence. Then you realize that the coming
girl Is not much more of saint than
you are. They talk to you in a confiding
sort of way, rather as IL you were the
elder sister that they would like to have
you be some day.

brother in town. The girl is awful
bore, and she's catfish and hateful, too,
but, dear me. how all the other girls do
love her. How they make her handker-
chiefs and embroideries that show off
their needlework; how those who are too
proper TO give the brother their photo
graphs, lay them at the sisters shrine:
how many "sprees" she gets invited TO
that brotherless girls sigh for in vain;
how her opinion Is catered to; how her
jokes are laughed at, and her eternal
stories OF conquests impossible she ever
should have made are listened to with
rapt attention. | know. because I like

Odd EIpedients of Men Who Abhor
Female Society.

Henry Cavendish. the famous chemist.
had such inveterate adherence of female
society, that, from the precautions he
took TO avoid personal CONTACT with any
member Of the sex, be earned for him
self the sobriquet Of the "Woman-hater."
II Is said that he used TO carry on COM
munications with his housekeeper re-
specting the daily wants entirely by cor
respondence and a rigid rule was enacted
in his establishment that on no pretence
whatever might female venture into his
presence.
Such women-haters are by no means
rare. A gentleman died recently in
Vienna who used TO adopt extraordinary
measures 10 avoid contact with woman
kind. At the theatre it was his practice
TO book three seats and occupy the mid
die one, so that female should not by
any possibility sit next to him.
When travelling he would engage an

WOMEN AND EXERCISE.
Fresh Air, Walking, and Bathing ns
Heautiflers.

A woman who has paid great attention
to this important subject says water and
air are the best beautifers. For bathing
purposes we recommend long mittens
made from Turkish towelling. At night
the mittens should be put in a wash
bowl OF water. In which a little fine salt
has been dissolved. On rising In the
morning wiring out the mittens. put them
on and rub the whole body briskly. Dry
on a towel. not too coarse, and dress
quickly. Then 60 out of DOORS II only
for five minutes. Walking is the best
exercise. If you cannot walk half a
mile at first. walk a quarter: keep on
walking the distance until YOU can walk
three or four miles without fatigue. Fresh
air will put a good color I'm the face, and
when the health IS good and the blood
clrculates freely the nerves Will be all
right.

Fancy Cooking In History.

At one time, some two or three hundred
years ago, Italy held the palm for cook
cry. and the French Knocked at what
Montague termed lie science de guelle.
Then came other days, when masters OF
art. such as Bachameil, maitre dHotel
of Louis the Magnificent; and Vatel the
famous steward Of the Prince de Condo,
ruled over the aesthetics of the dinner
table. and when great ladies', even
princesses OF the royal blood, thought it
no indgnity to direct the course of a
dish, or to themselves prepare 1t. The
Princess de Soubise invented a famous
