! For Young Girls
/OUNG girls skirts are n

x/oUNG girls skirts are made
short; trains are not allowed
until girl is old enough to
wear her hair high on her head, and to
be nearly grown up. The skirts can
touch the ground, but must be an even
length all around, and the walking
skirt must be really short. Sleeves are
small, but larger above the elbow. For
the evening, says Harper's Bazaar, the
elbow sleeves are allowed, and the puff
trimmed with narrow ruchings of net,
chiffon or taffeta are quite the prettiest,
altho the narrow pleatings of lace must
not be forgotten, for they are also fash
ionable.

Schoolgirls and Letter Writing-A
Friendly Talk by Mrs. Sanaster

Copyright 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
II HEARD Louise declare the other
day that she hated to write a let
= ter, and that she put off the I'M
welcome task as, long as she could.
Nellie, with whom she was talking,
agreed that writing letters was bore,
but added that for her part she dearly
loved to receive them. Well, most of
us do. When the postman comes in
the morning, it is pleasure to find
that he has brought you letter from
the girl who visited you last summer,
or your cousin at Yale, or your favor
tie uncle whose letters are little old
fashioned, but who at Christmas, Eas-
ter and birthdays, proves himself a
generous friend. =.
One always feels satisfaction at be-
ing remembered by the absent. If
one is away from home, the mails are
eagerly watched for letters from father
and mother, and the rest Of the
dear home group. It is wonderful
how fast and how safe are the trains
that carry the letters, with the little
red stamp affixed, to show that Uncle
Sam is responsible for their rapid
transit Only thin slip Of paper and
a little gum protect it from the world,
but the letter with its story Of home,
life, it's check from papa, its little
love gift from mama, goes flying
from New York to South Dakota, OF
from Boston to San Francisco, OF
New Orleans to Narragansett Bay
passing from hand to hand, until il
reaches it's destination. Nothing sc
slight as a letter seems to me sc
strong and SO entirely protected from
risks and dangers.
I do not think girls would dislike
to write letters if they observed two
or three rules. One is, not to write
letter in too great a hurry. If 20,
are on tip-toe to 60 down the stree
with Jean, or have made an engage
ment to skate with your brother AMI
his chum at 4 o'clock, you vii
hardly be able to write creditabl,
letter if you give yourself only fv'
minutes to do it in. A girl needs !:
sense of leisure and a spare half hou;
in which to write the letter that shal
carry something Of her real self t.
her distant friend, or her anxiou
mother miles away. No compliment
is conveyed by frantic haste. Decid
what you can do and what you cal
omit and get little clear space AM
unhurried time before you begin
letter. Next, always answer a lette
as soon as you can after you hav
] read it. It is then fresh in you
mind, the questions it asks and tn
news it conveys are alike full Of il
lterest to you, and you can carry O
I your part Of the written conversatio

4 PROPERLY planted bulb of
~ the Bermuda or Easter lily will
have the pot-in which it was
started in the early winter-only about
half full Of soil when set away to form
roots. Then as the tall plant stalk de-
velops during February and makes rapid
growth in the sunny window garden it
will be necessary to fill in fresh soil
about the stalks as they throw out their
lateral roots for support. If the pot
has not been sufficiently large for this
or sufficient space has not been left for
the filling-in process, or the stalks have
stronger, taller growth than was ex-
pected, 1t win be necessary to contrive
some special arrangement for support
ing the stalks when the heavy buds
form, for stakes driven in the pot that
is already top-heavy will be of little
benefit. .-.
It is good plan in such instances
to sink the lily, pot and all, in a
larger pot; and after filing with soil
between the two pots fill the large pot
full Of soil Towering and supporting

lily stalk. Then tie the large stalk

have been overlooked until too late had
it not been for the pencil and paper
garden.
The Window Garden.
In caring for the window garden
remember:
That plant is living being.
That it drinks and breathes.
That it is sensitive as the most deli
cate constitution to changes of temper
allure. 80
That extremes of heat and cold will
never encourage thrifty growth and
blooming.
That each plant has wants that must
be supplied as they arise, and neglect
is sure to result in disease or death.
That there are two extremes in plant
culture as usuallyp pursued-they are
either starved to death or overfed.
The result is the same whether caused
by neglect or kindness.
Lengthening Days Helpful.
February brings brighter days for
the plants in the window garden. Now
that the days are longer and the
sun brighter with each passing week,
the flowers are quick to respond aud to
repay us for all the care given them
while they were moping" during the
early winter. 1t should be borne in
mind that with their increasing
strength they will require an increas-
ing supply Of food and drink. Street
sweepings or old well-rotted stable
manure may be applied in the form OF
liquid food by soaking a quart of the
dry fertilizer in bucket OF. water.

I can quite understand the effect
you speak, of, and good idea would be
to, take half-inch wide black ribbon of
thin quality and, beginning by tying
a small bow knot, place it at the end
Of the tendril, then take the ends
down, waving as you: GOA little farther
when you will tie a second knot tri-
he larger. Continue this arrangement,
each knot increasing in size as you de-
scend, until you reach the large de-
sign, when you will wave the ends as
found practicable. This will give a
much heavier and richer effect, and is
really very little trouble. You must
tie the bows in your hands, then pin
down to the gown, crossing the ribbon
in the loops as necessary, pinning each
one. This done, you take black sewing
