There is a popular notion that the
woman who builds a house first re-
members the closets and pantries,
and groups the necessary rooms
around them. This is because the
average masculine builder is apt to
be sadly remiss in arranging n sutfi-
cient number of closets. 1t Is quite
possible to have too many closets, es.
pecially when these little rooms are
built without ventilation or sufficient
light. 1t Is better to have a few large
closets lighted and ventilated, so that
there Is no danger of their being
storage places for impure air, thar
it is to have large number of small
shut-in-places which are so dark that
they are certain to become clutter
places.
a clothes closet cannot be prop
erly built without n small window tc
light and ventilate it. Even when this
is provided, clothes that are damp with
perspiration or full of the dust ant
germs of outdoor streets should not
be hung in them. When a street wrap

ed well at first, and, if necessary, hung
in the fresh air in front of an open
window to free it from all dampness
of perspiration before it is hung in the
closet. A fine dress, or one of very
delicate color, which is likely to fade
from long exposure to the light, may
be hung In a bag of coarse unbleached
muslin. Make such bag of ample
size, and drop the skirt into it, hang
ing it up at the two upper corners
The waists of such dresses should be
folded and laid in bureau or closet
drawers.

The Care of a Fern.pIsh.

A well-filled fern dish as it is de
llvered by the florist, is really very
pretty and dainty affair, but unfortu.
nately the length of time that it re
mains in good condition is generally
very short. The majority of the ferns
and plants used in filling the fern dlsl
are of a tropical nature. The florist
being aole to maintain the moist
humid atmosphere in the greenhouse
the plants consequently thrive and dc
well for him; but on removing them
to the average dining or living room
conditions are so changed that disas
trous results usually follow. During
the fall and winter keep the fern dlsE
in the kitchen as much as possible, for
there the steam from boiling pots and
kettles keeps the air moist. Keep ever
in mind that a high temperature and
dry atmosphere will certainly kill
the ferns or injure them greatly, so
that If it is impossible to maintain
sufficient moisture, keep the plants
in lower temperature, say about
sixty degrees Fahrenheit. In the
SululHer lnOlSt, Suuuy pluce, sucl
as at the north of the house mt
the base of the wall, should be Sc
lected, and a slight excavation made
into which to plunge the pan when
not in use. The matter of watering,
especially in dry weather, is important
and the soil should never be allowed
to become too dry, nor the plant tC
suffer for water. 1t is beneficial
practice to syringe the foliage of the
ferns every two or three days. In ad
dition to these suggestions, one should
keep a sharp lookout for scale insects
which work such havoc often before
they are discovered. During severe
rains or storms the pan should be
taken into the house. Avoid keeping
the fern dish in the direct sunshine.
but allow plenty of light. The ma
jority of fern dishes are in two parts
the inner part of either tin or pottery
to hold the plants, and the outer the
ornamented part. This arrangement
makes it convenient to move the innel
part with the plants.-Woman' Home

Proper Use of Face Powder.

Face powder is not such a wicked
thing as it sounds when 1t is used
properly. A little of it in summer
helps to keep the skin smooth and dry
and does much toward keeping the col.
lars clean. The little package Of soap
papers, to use in case of emergency.
proved popular. and after them came
the package of powder papers in little
cases and each leaf full of powder.
That is one of the most convenient
forms of carrying powder for the wom-
an who likes it when travelling, but
there is also little leather case of
about the same size containing little
chamois, well powdered as well as
the tiny powder puff in little bag to
tuck away with the handkerchief.
Some women prefer Il bit of cnamois
always, in using powder to the pow
der puff.
