FLOWERS have never been so pop-
r. ular in this country as now AL
most every owner of a small SUBJ
urban residence has a prediction for
the raising of some particular plant
in the cultivation of which he fancies
he excels. Every housewife has her ia
Norlte window or porch plants to the
promotion of whose growth she is de-
voted in hours of leisure. One cannot
take summer population anywhere
and not find majority of people de-
voted to amateur flower raising.
1t is our English cousins that have
shown us how much pleasure may be
derived from this pursuit. The English
have pleasant way of stimulating in

hoods by plan which at the same
time yields a great deal of social
amusement, and is very often a means
OF raising money for some charita BILE
object This is done by means of the
flower show, and in America. where al
most every method likely to lure the
reluctant dollar from the public pocket
has been tried, the flower show is wen
worth an experiment.
IN England the flower, show IS gem

grounds of the aforementioned officer

In America the form of the English

raising money for a church or hospital
or school fund or for the benefit of
Uncle SANS soldiers or sailors. it might
be held altogether on lawn, long ta-
bles under an open tent being used for
the accommodation of the flowers A
fee Is charged for admission. this being
the source from which most of the
profit is derived. When the show is
for the benefit of e church or public
institution, it is quite easy to induce
prominent merchants to donate prizes
to be distributed to the owners of fine
plants or flowers.

NOVELTIES IN SHIRT WAISTS.

Never before have there been so many
and such attractive styles in shirt
waists as are evolved this season to
please and clothe the feminine world.
The old monotony in shirt waists has
entirely disappeared, and there is SIM
ply no limit to the variations in design
and decoration. There is every con-
ceivabIe kind and condition, from a
simple cotton shirt to the most elegant
model in real lace. The list includes
tailor made styles for golf, yachting,
beach or mountain wear en- suite with
simply made skirts of shepherds check
squadron serge cheviot, Scotch tweed
etc.
Smarter models for afternoon uses
are of dimity, india silk, peau de sole,
tucked india null with wide revers and
sailor collar formed by finer lingerie
tucl1s and insertions of swiss embroid-
cry Demidress waists to wear with
skirts of white costume cloth, yelling,
gray and beige mohair, eolienne or
drap de chine are made variously of
plated taffeta, peau de sole. liberty sat-
in and foulard silk.
Lastly are the lovely creations for
dress uses which are called shirt
waists, but which are the most charm
ing things that appear among the inn
ported accessories of summer. Some or
them cost as much as complete cos
tunes. Lustrous satins and silks are
used in their composition, with lace boz
lero fronts, silk embroideries. lace and
ribbon insertions. crepe de chine or in
dia silk scarfs and draperies, to say
of expensive buckles and but
tons which complete some of the smart-
est French models.
