Beauty for Window Gardens.


Not many months ago an Eastern
Giant lover imported from japan a new
fern which promises to add much beau

is the daralia, which grows in abun-
dance in the land of the mikaGo. The
roots, which are small, are several fee.

weighing only about ten or twelve
pounds. These roots, which to the un-
itiated appear perfectly dead, are taken
and carefully wound around a handful
Of moss and bound with slender wires
n the shape of hanging basket. They
are then saturated with water and
hung in the sun. After about a week
or ten days the ferns begin to appear,
and the basket becomes a mass OF deli
cate fern leaves. In this condition they
are offered FOR sale, and range in price
frun 81 to S., according to the size.
They thrive in the house under the
ordinary temperature. and only require
to be watered once week. Their they
should be placed in a bucket or basin,
entirely covered by water. and allowed
to remain five or ten minutes, accord

being not only to moisten the roots,
but to saturate the moss over which
they are wound. It il best 20 vut a

Judging by modern fiction, the moth
er.. as such. does not exist in English
society, says Munsey's Magazine. The
female parent is not extinct, but her
attitude to her daughter seems to be
that of business manager or advance
agent rather than guardian angel. The
ambition which in the American moth
er might be labeled MY daughters

code of the British matron, MY daugh-
ter's establishment" One seldom picks
up a novel of English society that one
does not meet the scheming, lynx-eyed
mamma. working diligently at the
matrimonial grab-bag with one hand,
while with the other she pushes for

phosed into British mamma herself.

The Position Of Sal.ried Housekeeper
B. J. S. writes, asking for an opinion
as to the respect that should be paid
to salaried housekeepers; are they en-.
titled to as much respect as the gov
erness or seamstress? Answer: It i.
a difficult matter accurately to deter.
mine the social status of the house.
keeper. So much depends upon the in
cumbent herself that cases might al.
most be indiyidualized. The woman
who takes position as working house.
keeper is quite likely to take rank witt
other help. except as to pay, which is
or should be. greater because of the in.
creased responsibility. The superin.
tendent or house warden. as such per.
sons have come to be called, in answer
to a demand for a fitting designation
is usually better educated and NOR
highly cultivated person that she whit
is working housekeeper. There ar
certain clearly defined limits beyon,
which the hOusewarden's duties an,
privileges do not extend, and there ar,
pleasures and profits attending her pc.
sition which, if she carefully order;
her comings and goings. will be oil
very great advantage. She should be
courteous. polite and affable, withOu;
the least symptom Of familiarity or any
indication of taking advantage of tn.
good viii and graciousness of her EN-.
ployers. She should never sit down in
the parlors or drawing room without
an invitation to do so, and then should
remain but a short time, unless urged
to do so. She should at all times main,
tain a quiet and dignified demeanor
and on no account introduce into TIT
conversation matters which concern
her own personal affairs. She must b.
instant in season and out of season il
anticipating the wants of her employ
ers and will rigidly avoid conflicting
with their wishes. She should no
make rules, but rather have the heat
OF the house make them, and do he
best to see that they are lived up TO
It will be imperatively necessary foi
her to be blind and deaf to man,
things. and, above all. never, as sn,
values her position and her future vel
fare, to repeat to outsiders what trans
pires under her employers roof. If sh,
can do all of these things she will mer
it and retain the respect and esteem

Value of a Tactful MatrOn.

The up-tO-date matrOn-cultivated
entertaining, tactful and full of re
sources-is among the most VALUABLE
of social figures. When she takes III
handling of company there are n,
wall flowers, no breaks in the pleasure
of the occasion, and no awkward fail
ures or accidents that the diplomacy o
skilled femininity can avoid. She is the
cOnfidante and counselor of the youn,
men and maidens, the safe depositor!
of all their secrets, and. while she rare
ly lends herself to matchmaking, sh,
is quite likely so to arrange matter!
that two fond hearts can occasionally
seek their loved ones in vain. And al
CT this is done with such smoothnes!
and delicacy that. as one happy cir
remarked Of such woman: "She does
things so cleveriy that one might i'm.
agine that they had done it them
selves And this is the secret of hel
success and her popularity. The ma.

them to some convenient corner, then

sation of the grateful lovers. Society.
especially the younger portion of it,
has come to value her presence. and
has so completely opened its arms &c
her that her kingdom is established
and bids fair to stand as long as there
are sensible young people who wish to
enjoy each others society without com
ment from an overcurious public.
