CARDS millinery, one should never buy
in the dark, as it were. but always wear
the costume which it is intended to
complete. And suggestive of this mo-
mentous question there is something of
cavalier tendency difficult to define
about the headgear at present in FASH

sparingly trimmed and more visible
crowns, together with the backward

eighteenth century hats has a square
crown surrounded with a wide jet gal

most of her life in Japan studying the
oriental ideas concerning floral culture
makes a business Of dressing dinner
and luncheon tables a la JapOnaise,
and since the craze for all things Jap
anese has been at its height she is kept
pretty busy filing orders for smart pa

York affects these decorations.
The room shown in the Illustration is
green and white in coloring and is
fine example of what flowers and plants
will do toward beautifying the home.
The walls are paneled and painted
white, whereas the green occurs in the
carpet and in the heavy silk curtains
of a pale delicate green shade, toning
perfectly with the tapestry of the chairs
and the rest of the Louis XIV. furniture.
Now with this prevailing shade of
green no flowers look better than those
of pink shade. preferably La France
roses with an added vase of lilies and
roses for a festive occasion. A stately

the room is handsome and imposing and
forms an appropriate background to a
/ fine piece of sculpture.

ness of decorative plants, but find them,
especially the palm, very difficult to

weeks. then gradually begin to droop I'M

While exaggerated trains are tabooed,
the smart skirt has a dip in the back

Z HE subject of ported plants and
flowers in the home is an in
teresting and almost mex
haustible one, particularly in
teresting at this season of the year,
when the garden has ceased to con-
tribute its wealth of beauty to the
adornment of the home and the house
wife has to depend upon her own skill
in the growing of plants for further
ornamentation during the winter
months. Hvoebegone indeed is the ap-
pearance of a house in which flowers do
not ind place either in the form Of
cut blossoms arranged in vases or
plants effectively placed about a room.
Few people except the Japanese realize
that there is a great art in the selection
OF suitable flowers and plants for par
ticular rooms In Japan when a house
is furnished the flower man is sent for
and decorates the home with suitable
plants. This flower man brings his
queer little dwarf trees, oriental spread
ing flowers and shrubs and places them
about the house. If a member of the
family is i'll he selects certain flowers
to adorn the apartment, taking care
that the scent is not too strong, but just
subtle enough to be grateful to tired
nerves. This is a custom we western
people might adopt with advantage.
Most Of the success or nonsuccess OF
the floral decorations depends. too. upon
she style and shape Of the vases and
jars in which these flowers and plants
are placed. 1t is needless to say vases
and bowls that show to best advantage
the flowers they are to hold should al
ways be selected. Lilies of the valley
for instance, are most beautifully dis
played when placed in bowls. This is
the case with all short stemmed now
srs. such as violets and the like. High
vases should never be used for flowers
whose stalks are too short to allow oil

the question. What to wear is 8

sartorial matters have improved Won
derfuIIy, and we have now keen eye
for color and an increased sense of the
suitable and seasonable. We have dis
[ covered that certain details of dress
seem to be sign mark of the best or
Foubourg set. One of these unfaning
tokens is extreme neatness and a per-
1 feet suitability of the clothes to the
wearer and a special sort of reserved
simplicity. In short. there is a definite
style costume apart from matter of
/ taste or money which stamps a smart
woman that can only be acquired by
constant observation. Then the crime
( of being "afternoonish'' in the morning
is an objectionable crime among well
/ dressed women. To walk in the Bots
early in the morning gowned in a vel
vet frock and big picture hat is to show
1 oneself out of touch with modishness.
4 Another mistake is to be overdressed or
underdressed in the evening. Nothing
/ looks so second rate as to go to the
I theater or restaurant dinner wearing a
/ dress that should only appear at a bail
or the opera. A gown that is too sleeve
/ less and too decolete bears the mark of
distinct vulgarity
In the matter of purses and bags
there should be kept a strict watch.
Cold purses had a long run of favor,
but when gilt ones were produced at a
comparatively small price the genuine
gold purses went into disfavor. Now
the monstrous dressing bags of a few
I years ago are seldom seen, and most
women prefer a small light hand bag
in some fashionable leather to contain
their purse, handkerchief and-low be
it spoken-often their string of valu-
able pearls or some other equally ex-
/ pensive jewel In this connection a
style that seems to be approved is that
of the wearing of a plain, gold bangle
with small gold key attached TO it in q
secure manner. This key is a master

green ground. The charm of this va
riety is that no two leaves are exactly
alike It is a profuse boomer having
long stalks delicately tinted with silver
and flesh color that show up charmingly
among the dark green leaves.
