THE FLOWERS OF AUGUST.

That magnificent, half hardy annual,
the balsam, is at It's best In August.
The plants should be carefully staked
and watered with liquid manure to M
sure fine blooms
Fuohslas like the warmth OF August,
but they need moisture too. and will
BOSOM best IL shade is given from the
hot sun, Liquid manure should be Civ
en- during blooming.
Two varieties OF late gladlolus--the
Gandavensls and Brenchley--are in
flower in August, They like sandy
loam
Sweet peas may be kept blossomlng
for weeks still by carefully picking all
thu flowers and allowing no seed pods
to form.
Some late varieties Of roses are stlll
In bloom. Others show buds for second
bloom. Al dead blossoms must be
carefully removed
August sees a great show OF bloom
among herbaceous perennials. Snap
dragon, clematis. wall flowers, holly
hooks, asters, carnations and others are
all at their best.
The roots OF polyanthus should be d.
vlded and replanted In good rich loam
AT the beginning Of August cuttings
should be taken OF verbena and also OF
heliotrope and aperatum. They ought
to be well rooted before winter. Shade
the cuttings from hot sun.
Phlox cuttings may be put In any
time In August.
Pansy cuttings should be taken from
the center OF a plant The cuttings
should be rooted IN frame, kept moist
and well shaded from the sun. Violet
cuttings may be treated in the same
way.
Geranlum cuttings, on the contrary,
like fair amount OF sunshine. They
are easily rooted In boxes or pots. Some
sharp sand should be placed on the top
soil,
Petunla cuttings may be struck in

MANS IDEAS OF woMAN's DRESS.

We are accustomed to pity men who
are, matrlmonially speaking, Caught"
by schemng women but the curious
part is they are generally fairly well
satisfied with their bargain, and the

ably happier In the long run than that

patient but not accomplishing Griselda,
Ninety-nine men out of hundred
viii solemnly assert that "he prefers
his wife to wear black to any other coll
or. and have known girls after mar
rlage to condemn themselves to perpet-
ual mourning In their apparel from the
stupid belief that they are pleasing
their husbands. Man does not really in
his heart OF hearts prefer black gar
ments, and he probably sees and adj
mires many other women IN exquisite
shades Of color, but stronger than any
artistic tendency In him is the instinct,
which is the outcome Of generations Of
conventional thought, that calls on him
to clothe his womankind In this sable
array.
As matter OF fact, man Is generally
a failure when he peaches on woman's
prerogatiye In the matter Of dress, He

Gated, who own cottages and exercise

young girl is no match for them. Also,
the male population OF Larchmont Is OF
peculiar order The men are either
very old codgers who sit on the club
verandas imbibIng mint iuleps and racy
gossip, punctuated by more mint tuleps,
or else very young and "hddiied'
youths who want TO show how very
grownup they are by initiating the old
er men and consequently having violent
headaches the next day for their pains.
They also think Il smart and sign
that they are grown up to cultivate the
married women.
SO the poor girls have TO depend on
the occasional men who drift In from
their yachts, which they don't do any
oftener than they have to. for It's so
much more fascinating out In the open.
And. besides, they have their own par
ties OF friends on board.

stopped in at a smart shoe place near
the Waldorf to leave an order for cam

all their new shoes were made on the
low pump or garden tie order, with half
thin soles and French heels. There is a
craze just now for the champagne coll

THE BEAUTY SLEEP,

Properly INDUCED in, sleep may be
said to be natures beautilier and the
woman who takes care that she rests
each night under the best conditions
possible will have little use for cosmet-
les, hair dyes or cold creams. Sleep is
undoubtedly the best nerve skin and
eye tonic and without It beauty can
scarcely exist
The only position which gives the or
gans a complete rest is an almost per-
fectly horizontal one, II a woman must
have her head raised a little she should
choose a rather fiat pillow, with no boil
ster. II one could sleep quietly on one S
back with the arms curved above the
head 1t would be the most perfect posi-
ton Of all.
