Very few housekeepers, naturally
ambitious to beautify their rooms in
winter with foliage plants, recognize
that like cats, or dogs, canaries, or
children, palms and ferns require a
time for becoming naturalized and
happy in their new homes.
A fern or palm brought in the
most vigorous health from the
florists greenhouse will often droop
and pine in genuine home sickness,
aad like young animals or birds,
plants thrive most happily in each
others company. 1t is therefore
advisable to begin pit window con-
servatOry, not with one, but let us
say with three plants. The best
selection is usually sturdy India
rubber tree. Fiscus elasticus, is
what the florists call it; a parlor
palm, that is an Asidistria lurida,
and a bifi pot of zebra plant, Eulalia
japonica zebrina, which you can
tell leaves that grow in an elegant
cascade.
All of these are recommended be-
cause they are hardy, easily kept
clean and need potting only once a
year. They will live, too, in room
where gas is burned, where an &C.
casional pipe or cigarette is smoked
and where there is a fire. In turn
for so much sturdy good nature, they
must have not only care, but that
given regularly every day. The
woman who complains that she
can't raise house-plants is simply
negligent of them. She moves them
about too much, is not always
heedful of their need of water, per-
mits the room they sit in to become
very cold at night, and then very
hot during the day. Probably, too,
she does not cover them up at night,
nor in any way protect them from
dust.
Happily, where so many sins of
omission and commission are COM
mitted the poor things die quickly
and so escape their wretched eX-
istence. If you intend to keep
plants, put them in a window that
has double sashes and where the
greatest amount of sunshine strikes
for the longest time every day. Roll
the shades high and drape the cur
tains back far and only for the live
Hest necessity move the pots. Every
day, at as nearly the same hour as
you can manage, water these house.
hold pets. They will be grateful for
the regularity, and unfailingly once
week give them bath. That is,
with a sponge and clear tepid water
gently pass over the leaves. Use
many basins of water for this and as
far as you can protect them; dou't
let a cold draugh strike through
their foliage.
A sudden chill often blasts an
otherwise healthy plant, and just as
important is it to protect them from
superfuous dust. When cleaning
day comes around throw big bags of
old muslin or dimity over the green
things and as plants are usually kept
in deep window, be sure at night
to draw down the shades and
portieres, when the gas is lighted

Domestic Appreciation

is the goal of many woman's ambt-
ton. AS general thing, the house,
keeper can see no money coming in
as the fruit Of her labor, and when
her efforts fail to win the apprecia-
ton of her family, she feels that this
part Of her life-work, monotonous
and never-ceasing though it is, is all
done for naught. Many a good
housekeeper has been ruined by her
husbands failure to appreciate her
efforts. On the other hand, many
housekeepers find their daily en-
ployment to be round of pleasure,
because husband and children now
and then offer word of commenda-
ton.

The Companion Calendar.

1t is said that the expense of max
ing the Companion Art Calendar for
1897 was so great that had it been
published in the usual quantity it
could not be sold for less than one
dollar. Four beautiful female
figures are reproduced on four fold
ing pages. Each figure is litho-
graphed in twelve cOlors, being a
true reproduction of the original
water-cOlor painting, which was
selected because of its excellence Of
design and charm of color and tone.
The size of each of the four folding
pages is l01a by 6 inches.
1t is by far the best piece of color
work the Companion has ever
offered. Both as a calendar and as
gem of the photographers art, it is
so attractive that it becomes valu-
able addition to the mantel or cen
ter-table of any room. 1t is given
free to all new subscribers sending

HOW mnny younp men and vonng woman

How many young men and young women
are cut off just as the future seems bright
est and fullest OF promise? They are taken
away by the disease which causes over one
sixth of all the deaths in the world, the dis
ease which the doctors call consumption.
There is absolutely no reason in the world
why consumption should be fatal-why it
should be even serious. 1t is a disease of the
blood, and can be cured absolutely and al
ways by purifying and enriching the blood.
The only exception to this is the case where
the disease has been neglected and improp-
erly treated until 1t is stronger than the
body-until the body has become so weak
as to have-lost the ability to recuperate.

cure 9S per cent of all cases of consumption

cures all lingering coughs, bronchial and

Hospitality.

True hospitality springs from the
heart. There is no doubt, however,
but that pleasant surroundings are
quite comfortable adjunct to cor
dial greeting. We write in condem-
nation of the custom of seating
guests in cold, dark parlors; Gus
Z tom which is rapidly on the decline.
Fashion now goes hand in hand
with hospitality, and both agree that
each guest must be seated in cheer
full, well warmed room, whether it be
parlor, boudoir, serving room or
kitchen. True hospitality is a mat
ter of the heart, not of the purse.
If poverty torbids a cheerful sitting
room, Invite your guest into the best
room you have which is we'll

tion of life and if her purse is heav-
Ter than your own, sacrifice pride to

stiff, damp, dark parlor.
There are very few people who
cling to this old cold parlor idea, but
occasionally we come across them,
and UheR we do, oh, it is dreadful.
There are few women who have not,
some time in life, suffered a severe
cold from such treatment, and really
delicate people have often suffered
for years as the result of cold par

Fashion Notes.

The really swell thing now is to
have ones bonnet and gown to
match. There are elegant toilettes
where the bonnet is entirely differ
ent, but it is we'll to have one suit
to entirely match in color, as that
beautiful and tasteful style will be
greeted with much favor.
In the way of materials, the gowns
shown for horse show service re-
vealed the fact that plain cloth in
tends to stay in, all the talk against
it at the beginning of the season,
Notwithstanding. But all faced
cloths are made lighter weight than
formerly, and with the narrower
skirts little stiffening is used, so that
a cloth gown is not now the deadly
thing it once was.
Velvet and rich tinsel and silk
embroideries trim the plain clothes
with superb effect. A gown of pale
brown may be trimmed with green
the velvet band on the skirt bottom
cut out in arabesques at the top, and
appliqued to the cloth with mag
nificent embroidery in several col
ors. A tiny bolero entirely of the
embroidery on velvet may cover a
second one of cloth on the bodice
the bodice proper, and sleeves per
haps, being made of the velvet.
A magnificent costume in velours
brocade bore Paquin's stamp
Though young in effect, this had a
stately look befitting its splendid
materials. The white silk back
ground of the gown stuff is lined
with irregular stripes in raised black
velvet. The trimming is white
broadcloth, embroidered with jet
. and forming u short jacket with
postillions at the back, and "a wide
band at the bottom of the skirt. The
close sleeves of the brocade are wild
ened at the shoulders by big bows of
black velet and the girdle is of the
same.
A gray cloth dress just finished
for the horse show illustrates the
latest in the princess gown. The
bodice is corded round and rounC
from the throat to the waist and be-
low the waist to the hips. At the
hips the skirt is gathered on, nearly
all its fullness being drawn behind
The close sleeves of this costume
have double capes over the should
.ers and are corded to the wrists
where they open in flare.

A Little Lack of knowledge Can Make
Social Life Very UncOmfortable.
To say the right words, to act in the
right manner, means that one will be
much more comfortable socially, for it is
only when one does as other people do that
society runs on smooth wheels. Among in
stances of this kind The Ladies' Home
journal points out the fact that the hours
for visiting in different cities often cause
blunders which result in considerable
awkwardness for the stranger, SO it is wise
to ask some one who knows exactly the
special customs of that town, and then
you will know what to do. In New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago, where the din.
ner hour ranges from half past @ to half
past s, the visiting hours are from to 9,
but in many Of the smaller cities, especial
ly where an early dinner is the custom,
the visiting hours are from to 8.
If some one who is ignorant of the visit
ing hours should surprise you in a neat
morning dress, busting the books, make
no apology for your appearance, You are
dressed properly, for your costume is suit
ed to the hour of the day and your occupa-
tion, and 1t is your visitor who has made
mistake.
Never accept an invitation to a house
from gentleman alone He may tell you
that his sisters are anxious to see you, but
If they are they can express this anxiety
in note Of invitation and under no cir

have distinctly cordial invitation from
the women of the family.
A much laughed about phrase that
probably had an innocent rise is "my
gentleman friend" Some nice girls do,
thoughtlessly, use 1t. They forget that
all their friends are supposed to be ladies
and gentlemen. When you wish to speak
of a friend, use his name If possible. If
not, say, "a man friend of mine" Nat
