How strange said woman, that
! should not have thought of that. was
in a hospital for weeks last fall and got
perfect loads of flowers. and | remember
perfectly now that ] did enjoy those that
came to me early in the morning most
of ALL"
Another thing continued the man,
great care should be exercised in select
ing flowers for people who are i'll. The
sender should make each flower express
a thought. Suppose YOU are sending fow-
ers to a middle-aged woman. Send old
fashioned yiolets and such things as will
recall of her girlhood. If you are sending
to q Young woman fond of society choose
roses or some flowers that will make her
think of the social functions she has en-
| joyed, and, above all, never select a white
flower or any blossom that gives a hint
of death to one who is sick
So
Have you seen the newest sofa pillow
cover to give a man? There isn't a club
man or a collegian who wouldn't beg you
on Bonded knees for one. They are emil
nently intended for men and therefore the
women nave no share in them but to
make them.
If they We're designed for women a
man might want one. but he probably
wouldn't get it. The woman might make
it. but she would probably keep it.
However. these card pillows are not

they are especially for a mans den.
There are three of them, each one
representing a face card; the king, queen
and jack.
They are rather difficult to make, for
the coloring and design are intricate, but
they can be bought for sixty cents; that
is, the square of linen on which the de-
sign is colored. The face of the card IS
ex~cellently done; the colors are gaaran-
teed to remain when l~aundered.
The embroidery to be done is rather
slight, il one follows the original de-
sign. Broad silk floss outlines the blend
ing line of the various colors and medal
lions of floss are placed in circles.
They are most effective and the woman
who has a clever hand at embroidery
may create new tricks in making them
up, that will be additional charm.
The set of three arc not expensive and
the girl who is wondering what to send
her college friend at Easter might &C

to work on a set.
The shirt waist of '97 will probably be
the shirt waist of '9S. 1t seems now that
no changes are to be made
For this there are many reasons to be
grateful. One has patterns that have fit
so admirably for four seasons, and every
one has worked out such a satisfactory
conclusion about her own shoulder seams
and the amount of fullness to be put in
the front widths.
If change does come. it will probably
come there. There is a tendency to run
the gathers around from the neckband
across the shoulder seams.
There is no of the a~dvisability
of this plan for slender women. Few
seem to realize that nothing SO hurts a
woman's figure as that sink just I'M
der the shoulder. In a lined gown it
can be remedied by a little padding, but
in a shirt waist or muslin bodice the
fullness must be given by gathers from
the shoulder.
Collars remain the same. The ten
dency is toward turn over cuffs, held
with buttons. And another inclination
is toward the narrower Jokes in the
back.
The London Court Journal says: Is
the woman who paints pictures no lady?
The question appears to be one of doubt
in certain quarters, and the Society of
Lady Artists has been addressed upon
the Appropriateness of it's title. These
painters once called themselves Female
Artists" but this being rightly thought
somewhat lacking in refinement, the body
became Lady Artists" But, presum-
ably art knows no such distinction, and
now the necessary sex distinction is to
be secured by the title, 1.-THE Society of
Women Artists If only a lady is able
to paint the better because she is known
as a woman, something will nay been
secured; but it is really inexplicable why
women. directly they indulge in the arts
or the professions, become ashamed of the
appellation lady"
When the spring season is bright and
sunny. as in America, water cress soon
becomes bitter. Its best season is in the
early spring months. when it first COM
mences to grow, and before many of the
leaves have spread over the surface of
the water; but some have had great sue
cess in cultivating it in boxes. Though
it is usually found in water, it grows
fairly well out of it, and a box of water
cress growing in a comparatively shady
place is devoid of a not peppery charac-
ter, which, even when the plant is grown
in water, it sometimes acquires, as al
ready noted.
Those who are suffering from indiges-
ton, says the Ladies Home Journal"
cannot fail to be benefited if they don't
eat: Boiled coffee. boiled tea, all sweets,
fried foods. white bread, crackers, cakes,
acid fruits, pork in all form, veal, turkey, |
duck, cooked cabbage, beets, green corn.
potatoes, pickles, spiced foods, gelatine
desserts, red or dark fish. salt foods, all
the erustacea, CLAIMS, raw or fried oys-
tiers; n refrain from drinking iced wa
ter, acid drinks, Favored soda water.

Sashes can be made at home for one
fifth the cost of buying them or a
modiste will make them. In doing this,
bear in mind that individual taste rules.
