Paper Shirt Front. in Use.

A paper shirt front is one of the lat.
est articles or apparel worn by walters
who are expected to appear in full
dress while on duty. The observer
was visitor recently at one of the
popular suburban resorts, where the
walters all displayed a wealth of i'm
maculate white bosom, on each of
which were couple of neat studs. 1t
looked as though they had received a
supply of fresh linen from the laundry,
until one of them carelessly allowed
his low vest to become unbuttoned,
and the secret was out, with the shirt
front, the latter of which was drawn
up in such way as to expose cheap
and dirty negligee shirt, that was not
at all in keeping with the conditions
otherwise presented. Paper collars
have been worn for several years. Pa
per shirt fronts are of more recent
origin. They are. presumably, much
cheaper than linen. considering the
cost of doing up a starched shirt, and
the fact that clean shirt would have
tc be donned almost daily.-Brooklyn

Caring for Rubber Plante.

AS near rs | can estimate. there are
from $4,000 to 10000 rubber plants in
Washington, said prominent florist,
land out of the vast number | do not
believe there are 1000 perfect ones You
will observe in the summer months that
there is a rubber plant standing in front
of Il majority of Washingtons residences.
but it is very rare to see one that has
not lost its lower leaves. When in its
full foliage the rubber plant is one of
our most beautiful house plants. but
when it has lost most of its lower leaves
it has lost much of its beauty. Owners
of such plants are continually coming to
me asking: What shall | do TO prevent
the leaves falling off? Some people tell
me ! give my plant too much water and
others tell me | don't give it water
enough; but no matter which advice
follow the leaves will decay and fall of. >
'The following simple plan win prove
cureall for such annoyances if it is
followed with due regularity: Every
spring the plant should be repOtted in
good soil, each time i'll q larger pot, and
during the summer months kept in a
shady part of the mousse away from the
sun. and watered daily. In winter the
plant should be kept in light place in
the house, but should not have too much
sun. Once each week the entire pot
should be thoroughly immersed in a buck
ct or tub of water and allowed to soak
over night, giving the water ample OPP
portunity to soak to it's center. Next
morning take the pot out of it's bathtub,
and allow it to drain awhile and do not
give it any more water for two or three
days; then let it have n drink each morn
ing until time for its next bath. by
carefully following this plan YOU will be
surprised to see the beautiful luster
which the large glossy leaves will show
and You will not be annoyed with the
leaves falling off.
eff there are worms in the earth give
the plant Il liberal soaking with soapsuds
and you will see the worms come wig
Cling out in n great hurry. when they
may be easily removed. \ little lime
water will answer the purpose just ms
well and not injure the plant. The
leaves should be frequently cleaned, with
soft. damp cloth and dust not allowed
to accumulate on them. Just try this
method on your plant and note how
promptly its health viii improve. =
