The Winter House Garden

M YHEN we no longer have our
AA gardens to supply us with
fresh flowers we shall begin
to wish for a few pots in the
house. If it is only a gera-
mum blossoming on the window sill it
is pleasure and a whole window full
is a source of constant interest and de-
light in watching the coming of the
new leaves and shoots and in expert
eneing the thrill of surprise and pleas
ure as each new bud appears. Few
there are to whom flowers do not APP
peal in some measure, and to many
they are. a solace for the petty trials of
life and an antidote for melancholy,
while to the invalid they are a joy in
comparable.
If the windows are not sunny, ferns
and palms grow we'll and are exquisite
ly delicate and beautiful Ferns require
u good deal of water, but little or no
sun. A moderate or rather cool tenn
perature is best The beautiful feath-
cry asparagus fern is especially attrac-
tive, as are also the delicate maidenhair
and farliensis. The common sword fern
is quite hardy and a satisfactory grow
err. Japanese fern balls are very pretty
and may now be obtained from almost
any florist. These curious things are
made from an ordinary kind of fern.
The roots are wound around a ball of
sphagnum moss and bound with cord
or wire. The moss serves as a sponge
to hold the moisture which keeps the
fern growing. 1t is hung in the window
and taken down every few days and
placed in water for a short time until
the moss in the center absorbs enough
moisture to last for some time. The
japanese, who are artists in flower cul-
ture, have also succeeded in twisting
these fern roots into monkey forms and
other curious animal shapes, including
horses and elephants
Cuttings of geraniums and of almost
any of the ordinary varieties of house
plants intended for winter blooming
should be made in July or August,
though with care they may be made to
grow almost any time. 1t is better to

before they are planted. They should
be kept quite damp for about twenty
four to thirty-six hours after planting,
but do not overdo the matter, or they
will be rotted. Keep them out of the

plants should be kept in the shade and
quite wet after reporting. especially
when brought indoors in the autumn

on the head. Some of these skirts are
cut plain to the knees and then have a
deep f1ounce of a contrasting shade.
Green tartan is often made in a Killed
skirt, with a plain green cutaway coat.
This makes a smart travelling costume.
The tweed skirts and Norfolk jackets
with leather belts are also nobby. Ney-
er use a patent leather belt; have one
of suede or soft kid, which can be
swathed becomingly around the waist.

Steps that are quick are indicative of
energy and agitation.
Turned in toes are often found with
preoccupied, absent minded persons.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest a gentle or reflective state of
mind, as the case may be.
The proud step is slow and measured.
The toes are conspicuously turned out

Where a revengeful purpose is hidden
under a feigned smile the step will be

Obstinate people who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on intel
lectual power rest the feet fatty and

very little changed except that the
crown is much higher than formerly.
The close fitting Tudor toque is seen in
velvet and silk. The French sailor and
the toreador have given place to the
Robesplerre which has a high crown
and a wide brim in front, but is caught
up a t the back with great choux, rest

way is again worn quite high over
here. A great many new chenille hats
are trimmed with ruches of satin and
velvet, with wings at the back
Let us hope that with the shorter
skirts now in vogue women will pay
much attention to their feet and wear
only the smartest and neatest of foot
gear, for when the skirt is short the
feet are so much in evidence that we
cannot afford to neglect this portion
of our ensemble.
Petticoats are very smart at present,

have scored third magazine beat In

ment, is the most conspicuous personality
before the American Public.

preston the subject of the man best
fitted to give the facts, and the degree to
which it was quoted in the newspapers
shows the value set upon it by men who
are the real judges of timeliness.
The article on Joseph Pulitzer is pecul

and his ideals of newspaper making. In
the light of his present extraordinary en-
dowment of a. College of Journalism at

Beauty culture among men did not get
much of impetus through the Vienna
male beauty show. The way European
women turned up their noses over the con-
test caused a smile Of grim joy to come
over the homely face of malekind in gem
eral. Beauty is not for men. and the two
Apollos-a blond and a brunette-who won
the contest are everything but idols in the
feminine mind.
Women love a homely man, provided he
has character in his face. Character and
strength count thousandfold more than,
regularity of features, depth of eyes and
sweetness of mouth. The Vienna women
showed their contempt of such puerile
qualities by staying away from the male
beauty show. Comparatively few women
witnessed it. 1t is now In line for some
enterprising person to start 'homely''=
