Tall slender crystal vases are the
best shape for holding roses. Flowers
are easily arranged in these delicate
holders, and at the same time they
make the most attractive display with
out crushing the blooms. Brass bowls
and other metal receptacles are IA
vored for ornamenting certain places
in a room, but for general use moth
ing equals the crystal vase. These
rose vases are offered in a variety of
heights and styles. The most salts
factory are the clear white or the
cpalescent crystal. The latter seem
to take on a delicate tint reflected
from the roses, while the clear white
remain unchanged by the pink, yellow
or red roses clustering above the top
of the vase.
Cut glass rose vases are too ex
pensive for any but the wealthy to
possess. There are imitation cut crys-
tails, however, which make very fair
appearance and are cheap enough to
be replaced when they are broken. In
selecting a rose vase of extra height
one should bear in. mind the import
ance of the base. The taller the vase
the larger the required base to give 1t
equilibrium. These flower holders
come in sizes ranging from ten inches
to six feet. The average American
Beauty size is three feet high.
Iridescent glass. is being much used
for flowers of all kinds, Bowls, shall
low dishes and tall vases are shown
in this attractive crystal. When not
in use it is ornamental, while the pure
white vases have an unfinished look
when not holding flowers. One should
have on hand an assortment of these
vases, one size for carnations, which
il is almost impossible to arrange in
anything but a tall, slender. tapering
vase, a larger size for ordinary roses
and an extra size for the much priced
long-stemmed variety.
To arrange smaller flowers attrac-
lively bowls provided with a silver or
metal network over the top are a
great aid. The network is removed
when the bowl is cleaned. 1t is an ad-
vantage to have. two or three net COW
ers of different sized meshes to hold
flowers with slender stems and those
of very thick ones. Small iron or
bronze standards to lay in the bottom

NEW YORK.-The divorce litigation
~ brought by Mrs. Nathalie Schenck
Collins against Charles Glen Collins,
formerly of the English army, ended
the other day in an order signed by
Supreme Court Justice Leventritt,
which makes Mrs. Collins free to re-
sumo her maiden name and to re-
marry.
Miss Nathalie Schenc.,i, only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Spotswood
Schenck, was Newport belle when
she married Glen Collins in 1904. She
met him for the first time at Georgian
court, George Gould's Lakewood
home, where she was attracted by his
dashing play at polo. Mrs. George
Gould introduced him to Miss Schenck
after the game.
There was a rapid courtship. He
was by repute captain in the
Cameron Highlanders. In reality he
had once been a senior lieutenant in
the regiment and was called captain
by courtesy. By repute again he had

NEED A SUNBATH
Important Thing to Remember in the Care of Your
Indoor Plants

Often in the arrangement of the
room it is necessary to place plant
in semi-dark corner or, at any rate,
away from the direct rays of the sun.
In this case the plant should be
changed from time to time with one
that is in the window, or If there is
only the one plant in the room 1t
should be given a sun bath every day.
Otherwise its life will be short one.
A plant should also be turned about
every few days, so that all sides may
grow equally, or else one side only
will be developed, and the other leaves
which are turned away from the sun
will not extend nor will there be any
fresh leaves on that part of the plant
to take their place, all the new shoots
turning and stretching out happily
toward the greater light.
More and more are flowers and
growing plants recognized as neces-
aary part of decoration. How much
smarter the entrance that is bordered
with two stiff little box or spruce trees
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1908-03-13

than the doorway with only its stone
or marble steps and iron-grated doors!
The iron-grated glass doors with their
priceless lace curtain within and the
marble vestibule may be many times
more costly than the simpler entrance
ornamented only with its little potted
trees, but this latter will look far
more attractive.
Window boxes are gaining an ever
firmer place in this country, and the
box and frs with hardy ivy covering
the easement look cheerful, even when
weighted down with snow. The glass
covered window boxes with their gay
colored flowers inside have long been
popular in chilly England, but are not
needed here, for as soon as the box
and spruce have been killed by an ex-
tended season of frost and snow 1t Is
already springtime, and geraniums,
hyacinths, daisies, daffodils and pan
sizes will thrive in the warm sunlight
until it is once more time to put up
the winter plants.

an income of $4,000 year and was
of noble family. In reality he had an
income Of few pounds month and
came from a good, but inconspicuous
Scotch family.
Miss Schenck was supposed by Col
Inns to be wealthy in her own right.
AS a matter of fact she had no pri-
vate fortune and her parents were in
moderate circumstances for people in
their social position.
She and Collins were married at
Monterey, CAL, in the spring of 1904.
They started on a honeymoon trip
around the world. They sailed from
San Francisco with retinue of serv-
ants, 4 string of polo ponies and
formidable load of baggage.
Honolulu, the first port Of call. was
the terminal point Of the honeymoon.
Their funds ran out, they discharged
the servants, sold the polo ponies and
returned to America, it was said at
the time, by pawning some of the
brides jewels.
After a short stay here they went
to France together, but soon sepa-
rated, Mrs. Collins returned to her
parents. Collins was declared bank
rupt and left the English army. 1t
was reported last fall that he had
gone to work as a potter in the works
of the Grueby Faience Pottery com,
pany of South Boston.

in CHIFFON CLOTH

models. The reason that chiffon and
chiffon cloth are preferred in many
cases to silk blouses Is because 1t Ia
much simpler to avoid break in tone
by using these thinner and softer ma
terials. Even perfectly matched cloth
and silk do not present the same I'M
broken tone on account of the diff
ference in the texture and body of the
two fabrics. But with chiffon and
chiffon cloth there is less difference.
In fact certain lights will make chiffon
and cloth look like the same fabric.
Cloth is too heavy for a blouse, and
besides it does not yield to graceful
treatment as does chiffon cloth. Soft,
graceful models are more becoming to
the average woman than severer ones,
and another thing they are more
easily fashioned by the modest dress
maker than by the fashionable and ex-
pensive one.
A pretty model for chiffon cloth
blouse to be worn with cloth skirt
to match is seen in the design show
ing a broad lace cape-like trimming
covering the shoulders and separating
in V front to show guimpe and col
lar of another kind of lace. The point
ed front outlined by two folded bands
of silk, which tie in knot with ends
falling low over the bust. They are
caught above the knot under loops Of
silk. The pulled sleeves are gathered
into cuffs of chiffon cloth edged with
band of the same lace used for the
guimpe and collar.

Costly Warships.

If there is any limit short of 10000
tons for the warships of the future, II
is not now within sight. And Ger.
tainly there seems to be no limit in
the matter Of cost. A few years ago
S3,000,000 was considered an extrava.
giant amount of money to put into one
battleship. Since then armored cruis.
ers of the Colorado and West Vir.
ginia class have been developed, and
the 2O,0O0-ton battleship will cost at
least $10,0O0,0O0. The four new bat.
tleships asked of congress at this
session are estimated to cost $780,.
900, exclusive of guns, armor and
equipment.-Daniel T. Pierce, in The

THE recent panic served to bring to
i light in a striking manner the
carelessness Of the average New
Yorker in regard to his money. The
largest institution in the city which
was forced to close its doors after a
run, and is now attempting to reor-
ganize, is seriously hampered in its
efforts to get the sanction Of its depos-
itors for the plans mapped out because
there are more than 500 such depos-
itors, with deposits of more than half
a million dollars, who are lost,
strayed or stolen.
When the depositors' committee be-
gan its work of securing consent for
the scheme Of reorganization it dis
covered that half a thousand depos-
itors seemed to have forgotten all

WITH the verification Of the report
w that Charles G. Gates had sold his
seat on the stock exchange there Is
chronicled the last element in the
withdrawal Of the Gateses from active
personal participation in the affairs
of Wall street.
Mr.. Gates sold his seat for $4,000,
which marks another new level drop
in the price of seats, the last previous
sale having been at $4,000. Mr..
Gates sold his seat for the same
amount at which, in 1901, he had pur-
chased it. Since then seats on the
exchange have sold as high as $4,000.
When the firm of c. G. Gates & Co.
was dissolved last year the quoted
price was $4,000.
This sale by Mr.. Gates drops the
final curtain on the stock exchange
