WE had the most delightful
w plan, Jessie and I.
There was no one to discover us
before our scheme was carried
out, for mama was away and
Maggie was making an unusual
amount Of cookies and cakes in
the kitchen. I thought of the
plan: We would pick all the
flowers in the garden and ar
range them about the house.
We ran into the garden and
began. Roses, spansies, mign-
onette, peoples, nasturtiums,-
we stripped the garden of all
the lovely ones, occasionally
dumping them on the grass.
When all were picked, we col
lected empty bottles from the
medicine chest; we were shy
of the vases in the parlors, hav-
ing learned by experience that
to look at them was to break
them. Then we began the task
good many were faded and crus
carded. Then we stuffed the b
bouquets of all varieties and CO.

FLAME PROBING MADE EASY.

In a recent issue of the New York
American. Professor r. Ogden Dore-
mus, q well known scientist who has
made a special study of freproofing
materials, writes very Interestingly Of
his work. His researches were under
taken because of the loss of a young
son whose light dress caught fire ana
burned him to death. AS a result IT
his Investigations Professor Doremns
declares that solution Of ammonium
phosphate is the best agent for render
ing fimsy dresses, curtains and SINH
lar inflammable articles fireproof.
A great advantage Of the treatment
is the Responsiveness. Professor Dore
mus says one of his assistants treated
100 curtains with ammonium phosr
phate, and rendered them flameproof
at a cost of less than l cent each.
This places the treatment within the
reach of every human being. There
is no reason why dresses and curtains.
stage scenery and fixtures, even wood
en- floors and partitions should not
be treated with ammonium phosphate
and made proof against ordinary
fame
Professor Doremus does not claim
that an article treated with the solu-
ton will Withstand steady, continuous
heat. He does claim that it will not
burn unless it is subjected to consi1.
cradle heat for an extended period.
The New Yorer is satisfied that there
would be no necessity for asbestos
or iron curtains in theatres if the
regular curtain were thoroughly trea:
ed with ammonium phosphate. OF hi,
