ARE OF PLANTS.

fTants cannot be well grown any
where or under any circumstances
when crowded together. 1t is more
satisfactory to grow few well than
grow many indifferently. One of the
most important things to be attended
to is watering them. Plants should
not be allowed to wilt for want OF

be avoided as much as possible. A
moderately low temperature is to be
preferred in room to high one. as
too much warmth without a strong

CHAPTER XIII.

THE NOTE THAT DowNED THE RUSSIAN
The facts are soon made plain, and
every one understands the game tina,
Mr.. Grimes and Mynheer Joe have
hatched up between them. 1t is SIM
pie and yet seems to have the neces-
sary qualities to insure success.
AS Mr.. Grimes predicted to his COM
panion, the young American girl is
ready to join in the game. She knows
the risk and dares to undertake it for
the good of the little company. The
case has at any rate reached a point
when heroic treatment is necessary in
order to accomplish cure. Such in
stances arrive in the affairs of men
as well as in surgery.
When all has been arranged. each
one of the company is satisfied. and
the game goes on. The baron has not
been seen since Mr.. Grimes pointed
him out. but he can easily be found
when wanted.
1t is now well on toward noon, and
the balance of the drama must be
played within twelve hours. for Cap

FOR WASH GOODS.

For wash goods short list OF
stains with their "antidotes" runs as
follows: Fresh tea stains, cold water
and soap. If old and obstinate, soak
first in cold water, squeeze dry, rut
with the yolk of an egg and glycerine
then wash with simple pure soap and
lukewarm water. Fresh coffee stains
come out with cold water. Old ones
that have been boiled in need the
same treatment as old tea stains, fol
lowed by good bleaching on the
grass. For orange or lemon stains try
will yield to kerosene or the article
may be soaked in buttermilk, then
rinsed in soapy water. For paint on
colored cottons, rub kitchen SOAP
thoroughly on the spot, then soak in
cold water over night, when the paint
will pull off, leaving no stain nor in
jury to the fabric. An iodine stain
comes out If the fabric is soaked in
sweet milk, with occasional rubbing
of the spot For blood stains nothing
is better than cold soapsuds. to which
kerosene has been added. Machine
oil or vaseliIie come out easily when
washed with soap and cold water
For chocolate or cocoa, soap thickly
and rinse in warm water. To remove
scorch, dip in soapsuds and spread in
the hot sunshine. 1t may take days.

WOMEN SUICIDES

Women who are driven to suicide
presumably lose most Of their ambi
ton before taking the fatal plunge
but there is one feminine trait that
they retain to the end, namely. pride
in clothes. Seldom" says doctor
whose position has required him to
perform post norton services foI
many of these unfortunates, ''have
seen a woman who did not go to her
death as we'll dressed as her circum.
stances would allow. The published
reports of these tragedies confirm my
observation. Read in the papers the
account of suicide and nine times
out of ten it will wind up by say
ing the woman was well dressed,
or at the least, her clothing was neal
and clean Unless these women be
long to the dregs they are found
dressed in the silk skirt and silk
waist which have become the inevi.
table garb of the suicide of moderate
means. At the last the true feminine
instinct seems to assert itself, and, al
though the woman will not be here
to read the account of the tragedy
she wants to die in the blessed salts

A GOOD PROTECTOR.

Many girls borrow the dress-shirt
protectors of their brothers for their
own use, or indeed, if the brothers
are wanting, go boldly to the mems
themselves. Their protection over a
lace or chiffon bodice front is very
grateful and they button in even un
der a tight-fitting jacket with ease.
In this department has been recon-
mended, too, the use of the short,
quilted Japanese jacket for wear I'M
der an evening coat. These are so
light that they go over the most deli
cate trimmings without crushing
them.

A PRETTY PARASOL.

An extremely pretty idea intro
duced in paraso.s is small shep
herds check in taffetas, the favorite
colors being blue or black or brown
and white; silver or gold tips finish
the ribs. and the handles are similar
to umbrella handles. Lace medallion
decorations are still in evidence. al
though they are certainly not SC
smart as those which are woven into
the material, and which are about the
size of a silver dollar. Shaded ruch
ings are very effective. while inside
trimming is the distinctive feature of
the season.

LACE IN VOGUE.

There never were such lovely lace
pieces far various purposes sent over
to us before. The wide, round collars
to be worn sans choker are to be no
end popular, with simple cloth and
thin gowns, and another shape that is
lovely and for dressier occasions is
wide stole. the end becoming still
wider and falling quite to the knees.
and that may be prettily held at lie
