of our best florists are set down. Even IL
but one rose is to figure it is just as neces-
sary to sknow how to take care OF IT,
First, of course, catch your hare, orratner
select your rose.
Here are some good names to choose
from: Hermosa. J~acqueminot. Baroness
Rothschild, Clothilde Soupert, Ulrick
Drummer. Magma Charta, Coquette des
Alps, John Hopper, Pau Neyron, White
Baroness, the largest of white roses;
Louis Van Hbutts, Sultan de Zanzibar ana
Prince Camille de Rohan, a deep crimson.
Having made your selection (potteo
plants, and those growing on their own
roots will give the best satisfaction, one
learns) choose the place for planting.
See that the drainage is perfect, and make
a good bed by filling in to a depth OF
three feet with top soil we'll mixed with
decomposed manure. A sunny exposure
will. of course, give you most flowers.
The roses should be planted is inches
apart.
After the plants begin to grow your
trouble begins, for lots worse things than
thorns are likely to appear on your rose
pushes. Fungi, for instance. Several
species belonging to different parasitic

and young branches, and ever those on
the dead parts may hurt the rest. In
rose blight "a true parasitic fungi one of
the so-called mildews, the leaves become
blistered. the stalks swollen. The best
thing is to apply powdered sulphur. or a
weak. solution of sulphide of potassium.
Another trial will be the rose bug, a
little rascal who will nave a great time

with tobacco dust oH smoke under him.
An emulsion of tobacco stems poured over
the roots will also interfere with his good
time. Give the plants a good drenching
only twice a week, unless it is very dry.
Though we still call June the month of
roses, let us be thankful that this queen
of flowers now claims every month as her
own, a regime which must be credited to
the modest little monthly rose.
eGood housekeeping is easy housekeep-
ing, and if a woman wears herself into
shreds and tatters keeping house the case
is proven against her." writes Hell Wat
terson Moody in the April Ladies Home
| Journal 1T is precisely in her ability
to guard against this contingency that the
| housewife shows herself not only a good
| executive officer but as well a m with
ideals and a sense of proportion-one who
does not forget that housekeeping is a
| means to home-making, not an end in
i~tself-that the most perfect administra-
ton of domestic matters will not make a
family happy in whom the love and spirit
of home do not dwell. Home-not only
a place to be happy to eat and sleep and
work in, but a place to be happy in, a
| place to rest IN and to be soothed, a
{ place in which to love n be loved, a
place for condolences, and counsel, and
Strengthening words, and hope, and
heartening. It is a good thing, and a
noble thing. and a satisfying thing to be a
good housekeeper; there is no profession
of which and in which a woman can be
so proud, and when SO blessed in head
] and heart and hand as to be able to make
and keep one of those real homes which
is a little sunny spot of green in the
great desert of the world'-if there is my
| thing better than this in life I have not
yet found it."
The style of hairdressing known now
! as the Vatican promises to become as
popular as the ~pompadour has been.
! There is not a great difference in the
two STYLES. The puff of hair in the Wat
teau is highest over the forehead, Is
somewhat irregular and some loose
curls escape from it. A large rose or
tulle chou may be pushed into the hair
above one ear. Most young women are
adopting this style. A more mature
manner of arranging the hair is the
French twist, now returning to favor.
I r4-.- - r. 1oncn rnll i1rcf ahnUp the
nape of the neck, and the hair is piled
over the forehead in a lot of short curls.
The front hair is cut to form a thick, ir-
regular bang over the forehead. The
hair on the side is slightly waved. but
worn close. h is a dignihed style OF
couture, and many women look we'll in 1t.
A pretty style for evening that suits
some faces is a small pompadour with
a line of irregular curls falling about the
face. Above the pompadour the long
hair is arranged in a fat. coil hat may
be surrounded by a wreath of flowers or
tied with a ribbon. With the Vatican
couture, a high velvet bow worn on one
side of the coil is pretty.

II is no wonder that all children long to
he grown up, when one thinks of the I'M
necessary sights and Slurs that are put
upon their youthful opinions, of the
houghtless cruelty with which their little
errors and embarrassments are held up to
the general ridicule, says the "Woman's
Home Companion" There is one refuge
open to the child, and sometimes it is the
only one, from harmful exposure and
painful misunderstanding. That refuge
is in silence; and If we remember our own
childhood more vividly, we should never

A rather new idea was started FOL
bridesmaids at a fashionable wedding
which took place recently in London
Instead of carrying the ordinary bou
quet, each bridesmaid had a violet vel
vet muff. with q large bunch of natura
yiolets. with their tender green leaves
and trails of buds, fastened on the tol
of the muff. This had a very charming
and novel effect and might be carried
out in many different ways. Pale pin
