1t is a mistake to use cardboard boxes
| in hacking flowers to be sent by mail. Al
ways use a tin box. lining it with sheet
of damn moss and above this sheet
of florists paper, or tissue paper II the
other is not at hand, taking care that It
fits into the corners and around the sides
The flowers should be placed in, row af-
ter row, until there is layer OF flowers
fitting one into the other all over the
bottom of the box.
Never crowd nor put one layer on the
top of another. The rows must be as
close together as possible; the flower
heads of each row should be on the
stems of the row Immediately preceding
it, so that when the box is finished only
flowers are to be seen and no stems.
They must be closely packed or they
will tumble about.

and then damp moss, but do not press
the flowers Always gather the flowers
in the evening. and then place in water
some hours before they are packed, and
in the dark, so that the flowers may
have time to suck in sufficient water TO
keep them fresh.
One drop of florists gum is sometimes
put in the middle of flower, care being
taken that it does not touch the petal
itself Sometimes a little collar of It's
sue paper and wool slipped beneath the
petals is a good thing. One of the safest
ways to send delicate flowers is to cut
Sits in potatoes and insert the flower
fastened in and supported by a little cot
ton or paper Flowers will keep for
long time in this way.
Do not rub the cake of soap upon the
hair, for it will be impossible to remove
the soap from the separate hairs, once
rubbed on, and the result will be sticky
head of hair for weeks.
When the head has been soaped until
it is white with lather and rubbed well
use, the bran water for rlnsing. Rinse
again and again, using a little sprinkler
with rubber pipe which can be attached
to the faucet. In the absence of this a
small watering pot will do.
You will need some one to help you
for the rinsing. Water should be heated
and poured upon the head, first hot and
then cold. and the assistant should not
stop until she has used up her gallon
of water and more.
The little gas stoves and appliances Cor
putting upon the gas are very useful IN
case like this, for they heat the water
and keep it at the right temperature, and.
in shampooing the hair a great deal de-
pends upon this.
Finally in the ideal shampoo the shair
should be rinsed with rain water. If
you cannot get this take water out Of
the hot water faucet, let it cool a little
and soften it with a teaspoonful of bcrax
to quart of water.
Use this with the spray and get the
hair as clean as possible until it feels
light and soft and ready to fly. The ten
dency to fly can be checked by rubbing
on the hairbrush just a little glycerine,
cut with rose water, and brushing the
hair quickly with it. Do not moisten the
brush, but pour little of the mixture
in the palm of the hand and run the
brush over your palm. Just touch the
hair lightly with this.
What we have well adopted Of the
year 1880 is the leg o. mutton sleeve and
turnover collar. But we interpret them
with a quite modern taste. These big
sleeves are particularly suited to- the
white cotton frocks, as nothing is pref
tier than the grace with which they fall
from the shoulder. The broad collar
seems to have natural resting place on
the cool linen and grass lawn frocks.
For boating or tennis, or for wearing
with linen dresses, there is new in
PRODUCTION in the shape of a coarse flet
lace belt, bordered with tiny narrow
bands of white or colored suede, and fas-
tened with small buckles and tabs. They
are cool and light, but they fail to hide
completely, being transparent, the juno
tion of bodice and skirt.

black and white and green and white,
both of which are effective. In the new
