Summer
Window gardens are one of the beauties
OF Paris. Every Paris house of Importance
has It's balconies, great and small, and
abundant. Other residences have their
windows finished with little grilles suggest
ing balconies. And In all these little bal
comics and window ratings are cultivated
through the spring and summertime gar

ditions to the houses, to the streets and to
the entire effect of the city.
One carries away from Paris memories
of these bright spots of color and of ver-
dure that meet the eyes everywhere, even
In the poorer quarters.
Window boxes are not so difficult to man
age as palms, yet they require considerable
attention. To allow them to wither or to
lose their beauty is mistake. for instead
of being beautiful, neglected window gar

The Furnishing

Jewelry-

Jewelry-
Is more than ever the fashion this year,
which is probably explained by the popular
ity of lace, for lace and gems have always
gone hand in hand with feminine affections
The beauty of modern designs and settings
has also increased the love of jewels, for the
delicate jewels of the day hanging by
almost invisible chains of platinum are ex-
ceedingly different from the ponderous or
namcnts which satisfied our more material
grandmothers, who preferred weight and
size.
Broderic Anglaise is more to the fore than
ever, AMI nothing indeed is more feminine
or becoming and, strange as ii may al-
pear, more lasting than a dress of this
charming white embroidery. which was one
of the popularties of our gra ldmothers

derie Anglaise is to use nothing else in an
entire toilet; the dress, the cos, the hat,
the parasol must be of nothing but this em-
broidery. with hardly note u color to
mar its snowy completeness.

walls, such as greens or blues, rather than
warm colors. like Pompeiian red, buff or
other warm colors, the high lights of the
rose copper being too pink to harmonic.
Another dining room scheme began with
the possession OF a number of lovely old
Japanese banners exquisitely embroidered
on silk, and a choice set of china In solid
color OF pale green gray.
The banners are framed without glass in

black, light gray, green and silver set the

One
OF the most entertaining of women once
said that she could only reconcile 1t to her
conscience to spend so much Of her time In
making social calls by passing on in con-
versation whatever she heard or read that
she thought might prove helpful. cheering
inspiring
With this purpose in view she committed
those things to memory in the exact words
of the book to share with her friends those
things that she herself enjoyed. The prac-
tice enriched her vocabulary and cultivated
her memory so that what she read was re-
tanned with slight difficulty. The gentle
ministration of cheerfulness seemed her
especial pTerOgative, and filled her CONVEX
sation with gladness and sparkle.
No one is living Alright unless he so lives
that whoever meets him goes away more
Joyous for the contact. This woman, who
is no ideal creature but glorious bright
reality, held that charity begins at home,
so should all good offices, and made 1t
principle to narrate at the home table what
ever might prove entertaining. The habit
contributed to the tiuency of her own con-
versation and helped to raise the tone Of
that of the rest of the family.
They who are more anxious to find out
what interests their companions than to
tell Of what Immediately concerns them
selves: who give gracious expression to all
the interest they feel, when others talk;
who are tactful in avoiding unpleasant top

Who would pitch high the tone in her
home must have high ideals. She will be
most successful If she studies deeply and
lovingly with the Teacher of Galilee. From
tered; her sympathies will become as broad
as humanity her intellect will be quicken
ed. she will be eager to know the best and
the latest that science, art and literature
have given the world. that she may use 1t
for her loved ones and less favored crea-
lures.
This woman will be an intelligent, stimu-
lating companion to her husband. With
her children and household she will be ever
self-contained, patient, gentle, firm and
wise.
The mother gives the prevailing tone to
the home. Even if the father be a saint, it
will avail but little in the day by day at
mosphere of the home, SO far as his direct
influence is concerned. For the children
are much more with the mother during
the most plastic period of their lives and
absorb the influences which bear most
strongly upon them.
The cleverest man living cannot make a
home. He may provide the house and its
furnishings; If he be artist he may have
esthetic apartments or a den which will
delight his bachelor friends: but only a
woman can invest a house with the subtle
indescribable home feeling.

TOBACCO IN FLORIDA.

The Kissmmee Valley Gazette says that next sea,
son the growing of tobacco will be entered upon by
the Peters brothers of Wisconsin, who think they
have found, near Narcoosee, just the soil suited
for it.
ut is the intention of these gentlemen to grow
onions, cabbage and Irish potatoes during the fall
and winter months, and tobacco during the spring
and summer months. Mr. George Peters is both
a scientist and practical gardener. Within the
short period of four weeks he has made his seedbeds
sowed his seeds and transformed neglected grassy
field into shape fitted nicely for transpantng his

A few years ago tobacco culture was extensively
engaged in about Fort Meade. There was no trouble
about raising the plant, and no doubt large acreas
in Florida are well adapted to its culture But in
the proper curing lies the secret of commercial sue
