PLANTS NEED LITTLE CARE.
Do Better When Left Alone and Not
"Coddled."

Do not make the mistake of think
ing your plants are about to die be-
cause they seem to droop when first
brought indoors in the fall.
A florist says that more beginners
lose their foliage plants from fear than
from disease. The changed surround
ings cause the foliage to turn yellow;
often few leaves drop.
There is no cause for alarm II ma
ture is allowed to have its innings; in
a few weeks the plants begin to look
up. But the anxious owner at once
begins dosing. She treats her sickly
plants to liquid manure and other fer.
tilizers, and they soon become dys.
peptic.
1t is safe rule to remember that
no plant should be fortified when not
in a growing state. When, after a
week or two, the house plants become
adjusted to their surroundings. they
should be given food, but not before

The separate wrap is, above all

The success of making an outer
garment at home depends upon two
things-the tailoring ability of the

fabric employed. The woman who i'm
AGNES that she can cut the price of a
$50 garment in two by making it at

She will do wonderfully well if she

not represent the retailers profit by
any means. because the retailer pays

the pattern selected This will cost

six dollars more. for it does not pay
to use slimsy satin for lining, and taf-

the investment. And to make this a
real satisfactory saving you must en-
ercise great care in the tailoring and
finish of the garment.
A novelty in lining for wraps to be
used for dressy wear is the white, pale
gray or delicate mode lining. which
will not soil light frocks, run to the
waist line only. and then the tails of
the long coat or wrap are lined with
self-tone.
For instance, black broadcloth
wrap to be worn with light waists or
frocks will be lined through the
sleeves and waist sections with white
satin and the tails with black satin.
Heaviness is the general attribute
of the upto-date wrap, as will be seen
by referring to to-day's Illustrations,
copied from some of the smartest
wraps on exhibition at late fall open

country was a large importer of rice.
Twenty or twenty-five years ago, the
coastal plains lands OF Louisiana and
Texas were pointed out as a region for
successful rice culture. They were
used largely as cattle ranges and were
selling at from one to two dollars per
acre. With the Introduction and sue

land rapidly increased, and the farm
ers of this region saw the need OF i'm

Many were pioneers from the great
