SELECTING FERNS.

When selecting fernery carefully
refrain from choosing one that In
shape resembles a pieplate. 1t is Of
no use on account of its shallowness.
The plants must have room or they
will dry out.
Select one, rather, that is not less
than three inches deep, and that does
not f1ange outward Ferns can not
be planted on the f1ange, consequent
ly the whole effect of the idea is lost.
for to be attractive the fernery must
be entirely covered with growth, con-
sequently one with straight sides is
needed.
When ready to transfer the plants
from the pots to the fernery care
fully turn the pots upside down. place
the fingers on the soil and tap the
edge of the pot sharply on a table.
When all the plants are out of
the pots, stand them together in the
fernery prettily and tastefully, with
out disturbing the roots, and then
fill in the soil around them, pressing
it firmly with your thumbs and fing-
ers. Then give the fernery good
wetting, being careful to spray the
foliage thoroughly.

DoN'Ts FOR THE HAIR.

Don't forget to have the hair
thoroughly cut and singed every
three months. 1t Is not sufficient
to have the long hair clipped. But
special attention should be paid to
the weak new hairs that spring up
along the central partings.
Don't forget to brush the hair for
ten minutes every night with a
whalebone bristled brush. This may
MAXI the head little tender at first,
but the tenderness soon wears off.
Don't wear pads or additional tails
Of hair and curls, unless absolute
ly necessary. Anything that pre-
vents light and air getting to the
roots of the hair Is extremely bad.
Don't attempt to restore gray or
faded hair yourself. 1t is best to
leave it entirely alone. If dyeing is
desirable, have it done by skilled
hands.
Don't have the combings of five
or six years ago made up, as hair
changes so in color and texture that
the tail is sure not to match. Rather
buy a new switch to supplement ma
ture's scanty locks, says Home
Chat.
Don't use cheap hairpins or combs.

SIMPLE HOUSE GOWNS

A delightful mixture of simplicity
and elaboration characterizes the
new frocks for indoor wear.
Simplicity reigns supreme in the
skirts, in which perfection of cut re-

by its absence, or confined to simple
bias bands of the material, straps OF

edged with velvet placed around the

TWO DISTINCT
STYLES IN WAISTS
Will Be Fashionable in Either
Form.

AS long as coat suits are worn the
blouse will be fashionable in one
form or another.
This season there are two dis
tinct styles-the tailored and the
more elaborate. Both are decided
ly feminine, however, even the tail
ored waist having its severity re-
lieved by plated ruffles down the
front. There is not SO much nov
city In the tailored blouses, and
yet a shirt waist more than any
other article Of apparel looks hope
lessly passe when left over from
last season. Little changes in the
sleeves in the shoulders, in the yoke,
insignificant though they seem, as
sumo great proportions when COM
pared with new models
The long shoulder will be the most
noticeable change this season on
bodices of all kinds.
In lingerie blouses the designs are
exquisite; no less extravagant ad-
Ject1ve expresses SO we'll the elabor-
ate hand work and the dainty COM
b1nat1ons of lace and sheer fabrics.
No less fine are they than the en-
tire Ill 3erie frock, into one of which,
indeed, the blouse may be converted
by making a skirt to correspond.
with light cloth or silk suits the
ootted FABRICS are used quite a lit
Tie for blouses. Two or more yarie-
ties OF lace are found on almost all
these fine blouses, and nearly all
have yokes of lace and handwork.
Except in the case of the tailored
blouse, and sometimes even then.
the blouse shows a decided tendency
to harmonize with the gown with
which 1t Is worn. In other words, 1t
becomes steadily less markedly a
blouse and more like a waist and
skirt: If this is shown by the ma
terial, as in the case already men
toned of the embroidered dot, the
effect is easily managed, If not. a.
touch of the same color on the blouse
is often found, unless a little bolero
or jumper is worn over it.
The all white or all cream blouse
Is, however, all right worn with the
coat or bolero suit, whether it he
tailored or dressy, but the contrast
between the afternoon suit and the
stiff walking suit is so marked this
season that the harmonizing bIouses
are as widely different as the poles.
The blouse does not blouse so
much this year. There is less ful-
ness in front, as there is in all bodice
models this season.
Many afternoon toilettes, especial-
ly when in velvet, have bodfces TO
match the skirt. Others show the
lace bodice with stray or breteIle
like arrangement over the lace and
then the coat matching.
The same careful attention to de-
tail, the same perfect fit, and cor
rect lines required in the most pre-
tentious creation are exacted of the
separate waist, to be wholly in vogue
for the coming season.
The girdle, too, is an important
factor 1t Is generally made Of a
soft, pliable silk, is about three
inches wide in the back and FIVE
in front, where it Is brought into a
buckle or slide of that depth, or
else is kept in shape by two bones
set about an inch apart. This is an
innovation from the abrupt point,
to which we have held for so long a
time, but which is not to be found
in the newest models.

that the efforts of the manufacturers
to provide rare and beautiful now
elites for the coming season are most
apparent. If the preliminary show
ing is a fair sample of the things to
come, this is to be a summer Of Won
derful cottons, a season which will
make the manufacturers triumph of
last summer look like inconsequen-

which, however, they may wear-a'
matter still to be determined-are
undeniably of phenominal beauty
in color and design. A snuff-colof
spider cloth is conspicuous on this
list. 1t is very sheer, though not
transparent, and of exquisite sheen,
while In point of design and color
it yields the palm to none OF the
most costly printed materials.
Imagine a delicate pink ground
shading to pink just a shade deeper
behind the graceful sprays Of apple
blossoms which are scattered over
the surface, their pink petals melt
ing into the pink background and
their family green leaves giving Just
the needed touch of relieving color
in the harmony of pink and white.
A blue and white spider cloth has
a wide stripe of shaded blue, light
even in it's deepest tone, alternating
with wide stripe of white, and over
all are thrown clusters of little white
daisies. 1t is In the exquisite draw
ing of the floral designs and In the
way in which they appear to melt
into the background of standing out
clear-cut and distinct that half the
effectiveness of these new silk and
cotton materials lies.
The printed silk mulls are beauti4

tistes and swisses defy description.
