If tilc main flower head in perennial sphlox the most reliable flower that grows is cut out when done bloorning,a heavy crop of 1aterals will form and bloom until frost.

bends upon the care. given. The soil should be often stirred with hand cul- tivator or a forkhoe. This Is especially necessary during dry weather, as ground frequently stirred retains moisture far better than if allowed to form hard crust.
 Always loosen up the surface after d hard rain. never allowing 1t to bake. but care must be used not to hoe too deeply and injure the young roots, which would prevent blooming. Another pointl Cut off all flowers while they are still per feet Allowing them to fade upon the bush tends to- exhaust strength which otherwise goes to form new growth, thereby increasing the number of blooms.

 August Work
 August should prove a busy time aside from the mere work of holding the weeds in check. Not all may know that the frequent stirring of the soil that this requires serves a double purpose. A loosening of the soil about once week not only takes less time than fortnightly hoeing-keeping the plants healthy and vigorous by admitting air to their roots and inviting the moisture of the heavy August dews-but 1t ere ates an actual mulch of loose soil that proves invaluable in preserving the deeper moisture.
 This is the gardeners "dust mulch" and plants thus treated require water ing only in times of actual droutll. When watering becomes actually neces- sary, 1t should be given in generous quantities, stimulating a rain-that Is, enough should be given to thoroughly soak the ground to the depth of the roots. Plants so watered will not re- quire another drenching for at least week, even in the driest of weather. Watering the Lawn

' It is obligatory to reply to an lnvita- ton to a luncheon, card-party, dinner or thcatef- party within twenty-four hours, vet many persons delay in this courtesy, which is really an obligation to hos tess who wishes to know positively on whom she may depend, or whether she must fill a vacancy. A small courtesy, yet a mark of obhgingness and frlendh- ness, is, for an intimate friend to accept with cordiality when asked to fill piacr at the last moment.
 Courtesy in Conversation
 There are many small courtesies to be observed in conversation. These are to look people Tn the face when speak ing, not to let the glance or the attention wander, not to show impotence Tn listen ing, not to interrupt, not to monopo1ize the conversation, not to talk of ones self, but. to trysto be interested in the inter Tests of sofhers.
 Practice makes perfect in all things, and by practice one may attain ease and grace of manners. Perfection Tn good manners consists Ill forgetting ourselves, Ill sacrificing our own conven1ence.

other bit of absorbent cotton apply the powder. The old-fashioned powder puffs should be discarded. Pieces of flannel and small squares of chanlois have been used to replace them, but they also should be given up, for they, as ties from the face every time that they are used, and will return them to the skin. A piece of absorbent cotton, which can be thrown away at once after its use, is much the best thing
 One will find very useful in summer the little books which contain number of pieces Of paper with T llttlc powder On them. These remove tile dirt from the face and the precipitation. and take off the shiny look. which makes ono appear warm and uncomfortable.
 Care of sunburn
 If the face has become sunburned dur ing the day, avoid washing until the beat has gone out of 1t. Water IS most irri- tating to sunburned and delicate skin. Cleanse the face with little cold cream, Applications of good rice powder will also relieve the burn, affording as 1t docs a protection from the air.
 It is the delicate complexion that IS burned by the sun: those which are not so delicate tan at once without the initial process of sunburn. Tan is often diff cult to remove. Lemon juice is good for it. After washing the face apply the juice from the cut end or a half of a lemon.
 Lemon juice is good for the skin and improves the complexion One should not apply it to the sore and irritated skin of sunburn. If one must wash the face after sunburn, take folded towel and wiring 1t out of water as hot as possible and apply it to the face. The heat will relieve the burn.
 Curing Freckles
 Worse than sunburn or tan are freckles, the blight of the most delicate and lovely skins. Those complexions which are cameo-lilxe in the colorina are l1ha qnes than freckle the soonest. The

 Most of the preparations for removing freckles contain corrosive subliinate; the other name for 1t is bichloride of ner cury. Five grains of the bichloride of mercury to an, ounce of water Is the strength generally recommended.
 The freckles are. coloring matter de posted in the deeper layers of the skin, and in order to remove the superficial layers of the skin must be destroyed. This, of course, reddens the skin and irritates 1t to a certain extent. The freckles cannot be removed without doing this.

PRESERVING THE
 COMPLEXION IN SUMMER


TT N many ways the summer is the
 most trying time for one who
 wishes to look we'll Frecllles and
 tan do not improve the looks. Precipitation takes the waves from the hair, wits the neckwear, and causes the freshness to disappear from the dresses. The heat reddens the face and makes the complexion coarse.
 A few individuals who are blessed with naturally curling locks and do not have to think of the preservation of the 'crimps," others who are born with a genius for tidiness, will always look we'll no matter what the weather Is or i where they arc, but for most greater care IS required Ill summer to maintain the average of an attractive appearance. Of late years fair .Inaidcns have made a virtue of necessity and have given up the warfare against tan, and have in sisted that tan in summer IS not only permissible, but fashionable.
 Protect the Skin
 With faces blackened by it and arms reddened and discolored by 1t. they have worn their evening dresses regardless of the contrasts between the portions of skin which havsIbeen protected from the sun during the day. It Is a mistake, however, to expose the skin reclllcssly | to the tanning process, and while one should not be overburdened with care in this direetiony I certainly would advise | the protection of the skin as much as possible from freckling and tanning. In some instances the effect of the sun is to stimulate the growth of hair. The reddening of the skin brings the blood to the surface and stimulates the hair fol- licles to growth. The sunburn of to-day becomes the tan of to-r1orrow.
 Prevsnting sunburn
 To prevent sunburn and tan. the face should have an application of cold cream and then powder. Rub the cold cream well intossthe face, arms and hands, and before plying the powder wipe with a bit, of sby bfbent cotton, brushing 1t over l lightly I$ that there will not be toe rsisch naAaa. ou the akin then with ar-

FLOWERS FROM MAY TO OCT

In the absence of manure, bone-dust IS an excellent substitute; 1t should be ap- piled at the rate of one pound for every square yard of the surface, and should be thoroughly mixed with the soil to the depth of a foot.
 If one may choose the kind of soil, a clayey soil for roses far surpasses the best garden loam. This is especially true in the South, where the adhesiveness of the clay, causing 1t to cling closely to the stem, prevents drying out This also serves as root protection in the winters of the North, and the plants seem to de- rive a certain nourishmcnt from the clay itself.
 Leaf-mold proves excellent food for the rose, and makes good winter pro- lection If spread four or five inches winter, to be worked into the soil in the spring. A soil too stiff may be light ened by the addition of coarse sand. Keeping Over Winter
 Many skilled gardeners spade in a two- inch layer of unleached ashes in autumn, 50 that the snows and rains may reach 1t by spring, taking care that 1t does not touch the stems. An inch layer of wood soot Is also very beneficial: but neither of these should be applied during the summer, nor be added to wet, soggy soils.
 Treatment of Plants by Mail
 If the roses are received at the plant ing season, and appear somewhat dry, place the united package in tepid water the depth of their roots, for half an hour. Always set the plants an inch deeper than they were set in the nursery. Af- ter partly filling the hole with earth, pour in enough water to saturate the

method must necessarily be different. Next IS necessary binding piece for the crowr and the inner circle of the brin1. Cut these two pieces and fold over a one piece through the center and lay 1t aside to bind the large circular crown into ann shape after its edge has been gathered and the gathers stroked.
 Pin one edge of the second piece around the cut edge of the headsize circle, making 1t stand up like band and with both seam edges toward the boned or underside of the brirn. Sew this seam, then sew to the standing band a length of collarbone, the lower edge of the bone even with the seam-line just sewed.
 The Grown Foundation
 Lap the bone about an inch at the back, then snip the circular edge of the brim seam and turn that and the seam on the lower edge of the nding band upward, so 1t will cover the bone. At the fold-line of the scam at the upper edge of this band sew a second length of bone, tapping 1t and fastening 1t at the back like the first This band thus does not bind the edge, but forms standing band about three-quarters of an inch wide, to which the crown will be attached later. A fac ing, cut like the band and hemmed to 1t on the inside, will finish it neatly and conceal the bones.
 Building the Brin
 The outer brirn-wirc should be placed next. The piping bone is held to the underside of the brim with the left hand and sewed from the upperside. After the outer wire Is in place, divide the dis tance from the headsize wire, and in the space place two more wires, equal dis tances apart. Lap all the cords and fasten securely at the back. -t
 Bind the edge of the brirri. Insert the gathered edge of the. crown in the bind- ing, the center-back mark of the crown even with the joining seam of the bind ing and the center-front even with the one-half mark on the binding. Distrib- ute the gathers evenly between and baste the binding in place; 1t may be re- moved when the hat is laundered, to fa- cilitate the ironing process.
 Another method that will avoid the necessity for removing the crown bind { ing when the hat is soiled is to make a narrow hem on the crown portion and run a fine tape through it, drawing it up to the required headsize.

THE LINGERIE HAT
,f Making
 Headeear
Simple Method

"0HE chief requisite of lingerie
 hat IS that 1t shall be light both
 in appearance and actual
 weight. When the brim must be-, cut double -and interlined with stitfening or corded, this appearance Is not possible. Many of the hats sold in the shops are made over wire frames, but these are nos always available; when they are usej they necessitate the ripping apart of the hat every time 1t is laundcred-a fact that requires careful eonsideraior. for in their immaculate freshness lies their greatest attractive Preparins the Framswerk
 Neither stiffening by interlining nor a wire framework are, however, really nee essary, In the hat usually scep the brim is cut from Persian lawn, and to It is stitched featheFbone, on the same principle as that employed i'll making a wire hat-brim. The eight brace wires, extending from the headsize to the outer tof-covered collarbone, and the wires running around the brim by piping cord.

 l ~ brim with lace, trimmed seams width (three-eighths of an inch) off the outer edge of the brirn. The fold already made in the lawn will indicate the lines for the center-front and center-back bon Ing. Fold the brim again into quarters and mark these creases for boning lines |; then make other folds at equal distances from those already made, dividing the entire brim into eighths.
  Hestaze Advisable
 The collarbone can be stitched to each of these lines without basting, but to avoid stitching at the bias lines it will be wise to haste the entire brim to a sheet of paper, firm enough to preserve the shape Leave about one inch of bone in side the headsize circle at each line, but begin the stitching three-eighths of an inch outside this kne, as the pencilmark, made at the edge of the pattern repre- sents the cutting, not the sewing line.
 After the collarbore has been. stitched It each hne the supporting paper may readily be torn away. Draw the stitch mk threads to the underside of the brirl and tic securely

son of bloom is confined to the. month of June, when the general rose-tide is fully on, and desirable as they are, other and newer roses have opened up far more enduring fields of bloom, giving them always season in which to establish themselves.
 1ssss All tho Year Round
 Hardy Hybrid Perpetuals form a we'll established section and are better adapted to all localities than those of any other class. While these are not as constant as the tender and oft-tirnes try ing tea-rose, they are far more imposing in their habit of bloom, with the added advantage of being hardy in the North, after the plants are once established.
 Everyone understands that the most intelligent cultivation will sometimes prove failure, owing to adverse seasons or ,infavorablc soil and cultivation. Un- - der ordinary conditions the following cultural rules should insure success
 Location and Preparation of tho Soil
 Roses thrive best where they receive a generous allowance of sunshine. In partly shaded positions they never do their best and in damp seasons, or dur ing a humid spell of weather, with a sudden drop in the temperature, are liable to develop rnildew-
 In northern climates, the most favor able position for the rose garden is on the east and south sides of buildings or
