A WlNDOW SarQen OF cllmDlnB
n vines, very pretty effect for a
4 n living room window, is shown in
the illustration.
The box is made the length of a win
dow Gill. eight inches wide and seven
inches deep, inside measurement. 1t is
to be lined with zinc and provided
with two or three outlets to drain the
surplus moisture. The box can be
painted any desired color or covered
with burlap in some desirable shade.
The nail heads all around the edges are
only imitation and are of lead beaten
out at the edges to give the effect of
hand wrought nails. Two ideas for
climbing vines are shown in this draw
ing. One is to attach linen twine from
the edge of the box to the edge of a
ledge or shelf four inches wide placed
over the top of the window casing and
supported with brackets at the ends.
Another effect where the lower box is
not desired, is to arrange square boxes
at both sides of sthe window, making
them fast and supporting them with
brackets Strings are made fast from
the front of the box to the edge of the
shelf, and light vines can be arranged
partly to screen the upper part of the
window.
The little boxes should be lined with
zinc, preferably independent Innings
that can be lifted out if necessary. A
drain tube should be soldered to the
bottom and passed through hole in
the wooden box. 1t is not a good plan
to put earth in wooden box for in
door purposes, for it swells and DECAYS
the wood and it is not healthy. Always
use lining or individual pots in a
box.

-HIS is the season of the year when
the debutante occupies the CEN
ter of the social stage, when the
momentous question of what she shall
have for her winter outfit occupies the
thoughts of every one connected with
her, and when the young lady herself
takes an absorbing interest in clothes.
French dressmakers seem to take an
especial pleasure in making up jeune-

individuality and to have the styles
quite different from those turned out

which so much is said, it is not always
such an easy task as is supposed to
dress any girl becomingly. The slen
derness of youthful lines is not always
to be depended upon and the graceful
ness of youth is often artificial and
grated upon natural awkwardness.
Quite as often is there a large waist
or short waist to be reckoned with,
and a clear complexion, bright color,
and fine hair are by no means the
heritage of every debutante.
