CREPE PAPER DECORATIONS.
Substitute for Natural Flowers That
Are Being Used for Festive
Occasions,

To the woman with deft fingers ant
an artistic turn of mind crepe pape
serves as most satisfactory medium
for decorative articles, and as resul
of the growing interest in work of thi
kind the possibilities of crepe pape
seem practically endless. Every hi
upon which Dame Fashion beams az
proval is found on the color card of thi.
crinkly material, and new uses for i,
are discovered every day in the week
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
AS substitute for natural flowers in
certain decorative schemes crepe paper
blossoms are most satisfactory, and
fashioned by an artistic hand, they bear
so close resemblance to the work
of nature as to frequently require close
inspection to detect the difference,
Roses, lilies, violets, carnations, chrys-
anthemums, tulips and wistaria are but
few OF the products of bush and vine
that are successfully initiated in this ma
terial and used for purposes Of embel-
lishment.

paper novelties may be and are evolved
by the score. Of course, the attractive
ness and the variety depend in large
measure upon the fancy and talent of
the managers of the function, but any
quick-witted, nimble-ffngered girl can
fashion dozen or so odd pretty trifles
suitable for such occasions, and when
originality and personal ingenuity fall
short the shops can be relied upon to
supply something to meet the demand.
Dring the post-Easter season cotillons
are favorite form of amusement, and
the more varied and picturesque the
favors for the dance the more pro-
nounced its success. With the prospect
of pleasant weather interest in outdoo.
sports of all kinds begins to manifest
itself, and a collection of pretty tri-
fies can be composed mainly or in part
of crepe paper, suggestive of summer
recreation and pastime. AS has been
said, crepe paper lends itself so readily
to floral manipulation that it is a SIM
pie matter to trim golf sticks and crooks,
birch bark canoes. fans, tennis rackets,
ETC.. with gayly hued blossoms. and
souvenirs of this sort add an effective
decorative touch to the assembly or

THE TRUTH ABOUT GINSENG
United States Minister to Korea Gives
Some Facts About Seeds
and Plants.

United States Minister H. N. Allen
of Seoul, Korea, has issued the follow.
Ing circular letter as a reply to the
many Inquiries from the United States
at that legation relative to ginseng
seeds and plants, how to secure same
etc.:
at is becoming impossible for this
office to give attention to the numerous
requests for information regarding
ginseng received by every mail, or tc
furnish supplies of ginseng seed and
plants.
Information may be had on the sub
ject from the publications Of the United
States department of agriculture and
from the numerous firms engaged In
supplying ginseng seed and roots in
America.
"With. great difficulty living roots
have been shipped to America and a
reliable supply must now be available.
At least one enterprising American (of
San Francisco, CALI has spent some
months at the ginseng farms in Korea,
studying the culture and conditions,
and taking away with him large ship
ment of living plants, SO that dealers
In the United States must now have a
plentiful supply Of reliable plants and
fresh seeds.
"Ginseng seeds are not supposed to
germinate after having dried out. Even
II there were seed stores in Korea,
therefore, it would be useless to secure
ginseng seeds from them.
"The ginseng farms are some so
miles distant from Seoul. and there is
no person there to whom one may ap-
ply for seeds or plants. The American
missionaries residing near the farms
have wisely decided not to attempt to
export the seeds and plants, as such a
course would ultimately cause trouble
for them with the natives.
II all the ginseng plantations In
America succeed the product will be Of
little value. The only market for the
roots is in China and It Is overstocked,
while the Korean product-which
seems to be of especial value. due to
conditions of soil and climate-,is in
creasing so greatly that the purchasers
of the last crop were Obliged to de-
stroy a large quantity in order to keep
the supply more nearly within the de-
mand."
