The Enlher Plant,

nnen in good condition a rubber
plant is one of the most etTective OF
house plants, its dark green, glossy
foliage being particularly decorative.
But it is or appears to be in many
cases a difficult matter to keep {
plant in full foliage, and bereft of its
lower leaves, with scraggly stems
topped by dull, yellow spotted leaves,
it is far from being an object Of beau
ty. An authority suggests the follow
ing method of caring for the plant and
guarantees successful results if the dt"
rections are faithfully followed: "Ev-
cry spring the plant Should be repot-
ted in good soil, each time in larger
pot, and during the summer months
Kept in the shady part Of the house,
away from the sun, and watered daily.
In winter the pant should be kept in
light place in the house, but should
not have too much sun. Once each
week the entire pot should be thor
oughly immersed in a bucket or tub Of
water and allowed to soak over night,
giving the water ample opportunity to
soak to it's centre. Next morning take
the pot out of its bathtub and allow it
to drain a while and do not give it
any more water Tor two or three days;
then let it have drink each morning,
until time for its next bath. By care
fully following this plan the large,
glossy leaves will acquire a beautiful
lustre and there will be no trouble with
falling leaves.

personal recollections of Charles LAM,

Some of her recoIlections Mr.. E. v,

picture of him as he appeared to the

His clothes were rusty and shabby,

why Women Like Fiction.

Do women find in fiction the roman
tic element they crave, and perhaps do
not find in sufficient quantity in lif"'
How otherwise are we to accom-
their devotion to novels, vii .ut which
the story-writer would fs.-e but III up
ON the slim diet of an untitled purse,
and the publisher share the disaster?
If Mr.. Carnegie should be able to keep
out of libraries, as he suggested, all
fiction under three years old, 1t might
safely be said that the women would
be against him-which means that the
they could not be done. Women like
new fiction; they want the book that is
"just out" If it is historical novel,
they feel that they are gathering In
formation, Heaven bless them! If it Is
a romance, pure and simple, they Tor
get over its pages the domestic trials
of the morning or the afternoon. 1t
does them no more harm than has been
done for countless generations. For
women are nourished upon fiction from
the days of their birth. Our girls are
reared in an atmosphere rarefed and
cleared from all impurities. The
world is shown them through a rose
tinctured glass. Here, dearest, IS a
city, wonderful city of happy homes
of beautiful art, of heavenly aspiration.
And these-these are men, noble, high
minded beings who will always guide
and teach and protect you. These other
are women, lovller thar everything
else." Aid so on. Fiction without dis
elimination is fed to the girl who
looks with heaven-given trust into the
eyes of her well-meaning teachers. And
when she becomes a woman, the habit
has sent it's roots into her soul, and
he she happy or pensive, she reads nc
tion. With men it is different; They
do not expect from life what women
do. When they read novels it is to for
get the rigors of business, to enter de-
liberateiy q region which they know
does not exist. But women can seldom
quite believe that it does not exist. 10
them life is romance. If it does not
turn out well, so much the worse TOR
life, and they turn to books, where the
happy ending is fairly sure to be
counted upon. In women's love for
fiction there is something more than
specifically apparent.-Harpers week.

Rottle-Wasl,ing for Lace.

The dainty laces that are so thin
and delicate that they are popularity
known as "spider-web fabrics" will re-
quire special care in renovating and
cleaning. In fact, it is impossible to
wash them without injury by any OF
the usual methods of laundering. The
plan of bottle washing is the only safe
method of cleansing them in the hands
OF any orc but professional; and,
indeed, it is claimed that this is the
method frequently employed by FRO
fessional lace cleaners. Whether this
is true or not, the method has proven
perfectly satisfactory for the house
wife who is the possessor Of laces too
delicate to be Given into the care OF
the laundress.
Select smooth round bottle and
wrap the lace around it as tight as pos
sible without ipjurlng the lace-this
will prevent its wrinkling in the wash
ing. Sc that it is smoothly and even
" rolled and baste the strips together
by taking few stitches here and there
after it is on the bottle 10 hold it in
place. Wrap a piece of old muslin

tie string around the neck Of the bot
tie to hang it up by.
Now let this 60 through the wash
ing, boiling and rinsirg waters, as you
&c the other white clothes, squeezing
and working it with the hands. care
fully to prevent it becoming deransed.
Hang it or the line, and when quite
dry take out the hastings and unwind
the lace. 1t will he as smooth is il
ircned, and will have the appearance OF
new lace. Several thicllnesses OF it
may be wrapped on the bottle if care
IS taken to keep it perfectly smooth.
as one would wonder how the washing
can penetrate to the under layers OF
lace first wrapped around the bottle;
hut when the soaping, the boiling and
the rinsing have been thoroughly done,
the lowest layers of the delicate lace
will be as thoroughly cleansed as the
outside wrarpiEgs.

Summer Hats.

There are some exceedingly smart
hats in shape that looks like the old-
fashioned shepherdess shape, trimmed
with flowers, folds of tulle, and light
taffeta ribbons. These are very at

heather made over pink tulle,
There are two sizes in smart sum-

been worn for some time, and another

Increase in Cremation.

Cremation is one of the oldest forms
of disposal of the dead, yet it is form
that lapsed from use for centuries. 1t
appears to be in process of restoration.
True, it has made but little head
against the custom of burial, yet there
Is an increase every year in such pro-
portion that we may look for wide
adoption of it within the next quarter
century. There are in this country
but twenty-six crematories, yet this is
against but two eighteen years ago,
and the number Of cremations Is $500
or more q year. When statistics were
first collected on the subject, eighteen
years ago. the annual formations num-
bered sixteen. 1t is because they are
common and have so ceased to be an
occasion of comment that an impress
sion may have been created which
is contrary to this fact of growth,
but the truth that about $4,000 incin-
erations have occurred in the United
States, which, added to the large num-
ber in Europe, certainly indicates an
incrcase.-Brooklyn. Eagle.

Among new ribbons is one of crepe
de Chime.
Bands of cloth trim some stylish
gowns of mohair.
sashes of tucked chiffon are dainty
things to wear with thin summery
gowns.
Summer regligees of thin lawn are
trimmed with wide bands OF Valencien-
mes lace.
Short stole ends finish the front OF
some of the round turn-down collars
the kind the grandmothers used to
wear.
A dainty accessory for the summer
evening gown is sash OF tulle trim
med with lace insertion and finished
with a lace ruiTie.
BLACK currants and their foliage are
used for hat decoration, while wreath
OF heliotrope and white peoples makes
an effective garniture for a black lace
hat.
Batiste comes with fowered borders
ard with borders of a contrasting
shade embroidered in white. Gowns
of this are usually made with double
skirt.
Hop sacking is worn to a consider
able extent and in the delicate tones
makes an especially effective costume.
Ivory tinted hopsack patterned with
little punches of violets represents one
of the newest designs.
A new wrist bag Of silver has
round of silver bracelet to slip on over
the hand, and from it two silver

of the bag is that on the front of it

The smartest dressmakers are using
woolen laces in profusion for all kinds
Of lightweight cloth gowns. They are
sometimes white, sometimes cream OF
sometimes match the gown in color,
and are found in the form of inlets,
yokes, trimmings, and even as whole
coates mounted on satin or taffeta. 1t
Is much like the old fashioned Yak
