q Fernery.

To make pretty table fcrnery
make q birch bark box six inches
wide. nine inches long-or round II
you prefer it-and three inches deep.
Paste cloth around the edges inside
to prevent bits of earth from finding
their way out. Plant in the box roots
of small ferns, filling the spaces with
green moss, or running pine" Sprin-
kle every day, and keep in a cool place
at night, and your table fernery will
keep fresh and green all summer.
Gather. during a walk through the
woods, an armful of ferns, selecting
perfect ones, lay smoothly between
newspapers, and put to press under q
trunk. These may SO remain until
returning to the city.
Fill rose bowls half full OF sand, and
stick these preserved ferns in them,
placing them about your rooms, max
ing woodsy spot all winter. If the
ferns become dusty wash gently and
return to place. The smallest ferns
may be used with fresh flowers for
table or bouquet for the dress.

RINGS and Gloves.

If you want your rings to last we'll,
dont't wear them under gloves. That
is the advice of an experienced jew
eler, and he goes on to say that ii
you decide that gloves are necessity,
then you should send your rings every
six months to be overhauled. The
reason for this warning is that the
constant friction of gloves wears down
the tiny claws of gold which hold the
stones in place, the result being the
very probable loss Of the gems Often
a jeweler will discover a stone to be
loose when an inexperienced person
would not suspect it. and his timely
intervention may prevent ones suffer
ing the loss of valued gem.

Count de Rochambeau's Compliment
to Washington Belle.
During his recent visit to Washing
ton Comte de Rochambeau was seat
ed for a short time one evening on
the verandah of the home of an emf
nent host, with whom and other
guests he was holding conversation.
says the Saturday Evening Post
Presently from the house came a
party of the younger members of the
family and their visitors, including a
young lady noted in the capital city
for her social gifts and her knowledge
of European languages.
The host presented them to his
distinguished guest, paying special
attention, in his introduction, to the
young lady in question.
AS she was on her way with her
companions to keep an engagement
she delayed but moment, saying in
French as she prepared to go:
"Comte de Rochambeau, you will
have to speak to me first when we
meet again, for / cannot see you here
in the dark"
Nor can l, my dear mademoiselle,
see you; and hence" he added with
characteristic gallantry. your invita-

How 70 Make sachet BAGS.

To make your own sachets buy the
powder and sprinkle on thin cotton
inside the silk bags, or pour on it half
q teaspoonful of oil OF the perfume
you desire, to which few drops OF
glycerin are added. The glycerin keeps
the perfume from evaporating.
This gives vigorous and effusive
perfume, pleasant for the rooms, and
the sachets to hang in the closets or
on backs OF chairs should always be
treated in this way by perfumed oil
fixed with a little glycerin.
