Gifts to Bridesmaids
Made in New and
Pretty Fashion.

At a recent wedding the bride hit
on a novel way of presenting the
souvenirs to her bridesmaids, that
added much to the interest Of the occa
sion.
After much looking she found in a
Russian art store number of fascinat
ing old silver belt buckles, such as are
worn by the peasants in Russia.
The one drawback was that eight
buckles alike were not to be pur-
chased. But the girl hit on the happy
plan of making the bridesmaids draw
for their own gifts.
Each buckle was done up daintily
in box used for the wedding cake,
with the monogram of the bride and
groom on top. These were put in the
center Of wedding bell, of white gar
den chrysanthemums, and a white rib
bon with small heart, cut from sill
yer paper, was attached to each pack
age
The bell was a homemade affair,
made from fine wire, with the flowers
stuck in through the meshes. Each
stem was wrapped in damp sphagnum
moss to keep 1t fresh
The boxes were concealed in the top
OF the bell above the clapper. A wire
shelf was run across, with an opening
on one side, through which the boxes
were slipped. The shelf was hidden
by being wound with greens.
Each heart had a number on the
wrong side, which was repeated on the
box to avoid mistakes.
At the close of the wedding supper
the bride rose and said: II will now
ask my bridesmaids to wish me good
luck by ringing my marriage bell"
Each girl was then directed to take
hold Of the first ribbon she could reach
and pull the bell gently seven times
In order not to bring bell. boxes and
all down on the table the pulling was
very light.
At the close of the ringing. each girl
was told to gently draw her ribbon to
ward her, one at a time This took the
small boxes from the shelf without
possibility of breakage.
The boxes when opened were found
TO contain. in addition to an odd
buckle, a small card, with the date of
the wedding, the initials of the bride
and groom and merry jingle appro-
pirate to the occasion.

A HoosIER's HORRIBLE FATE.
Final Explanation Of Accident That
Should Have Satisfied.

Paul Krauss, ST., came down town
the other morning with his hand In q
bandage.
II never knew there were so many
sympathetic people in the town." he
said the day afterward.
Within a distance of five blocks 20
people wanted to know how the young
man had been injured. To the first
five who asked he replied:
Cut 1t on a piece o. glass"
Finally this reply became monoton.
Gus and Krauss changed the character
of his reply.
Il carelessly handled my knife" he
explained to about ten others. In a
moment of desperation he tried to
dash into his fathers store.
But he was not to escape. A sympa-
thetic woman hailed him.

she said, "and you have been hurt.

and killed"

JOY OF THE COON HUNT.
Good Occupation and Sport for Au-

"This is 'coon--coon pie" said the
gourmet. ITS not bad, IL you like a
rich, sweetish meat.
Il went on coon hunt some time
ago at my uncle's in the country. Au-
tumn coon hunts are good sport.
"A crowd gathers, with dogs and
axes, at the edge of a cornfield after
dark. The dogs start coon in the
corn, and you all make after them,
stumbling in the night. Then. when
the coon is freed, you have either to
cut down the tree or to climb 1t and
shake the coon of his branch.
"'Coons won't fight till freed, but II
they get grip they won't let go.
There are some horrible stories about
'coons fixed to young farm hands

Window GardeDs Need
Much Care acd
Ate DtioD.

Water is the most essential element
of plant food, and water and air are
two things that every plant requires,
yet there are no set rules that can be
given when these things should be
applied. Generally speaking, however,
plant should only be watered when
1t is dry, and should then be. watered
sufficiently to wet 1t thoroughly Some
tines II is necessary to water plants
two or three times a day in sunny
weather, and again, in cloudy weather,
once week may be often enough.
Plants should receive good air. II Is
we'll to open a window for a few mo-
ments every bright, sunny day, even
in winter. Dust frequently clogs the
pores. For this reason it Is best to
sprinkle the foliage plants by taking
them to the kitchen sink or to the
bathtub at least once or twice a week.
IL this is not practicable, busting with
a duster or washing COURAGEOUS leaves
with a sponge is advisable. Where the
plants can be properly sprayed they
are not likely to be troubled very much
with insects. In case a single plant Is
covered with green fly" place a pa
per bag over II, have some friend
who smokes puff the cigar smoke into
the bag.
A few times will remedy the trouble.
Scale insects, IL they once get hold,
can only be removed by washing OF
with a stiff brush, or. II near florist,
have him give the hydrocyanic gas
treatment. Pyrethrum or tobacco dust
is also valuable, but is generally too
Objectionable to have In a living room.
The best preventive Is to always keep
the plants in perfect health and
growing. The pots or window boxes
should be turned frequently so as to
have the plants develop symmetrically.
After ALL the secret of the greatest
success with the window garden Is the
innate love for flowers by the one who
cares for them. worked out by coming
n daily contact with the plants them
selves and thus learning the individual
needs of each plant.
The environments OF no two window
gardens are exactly alike and thus
each one calls for different treatment.
However, IL you study plants and full
fill their wants, they will nearly al
ways entirely fulfill your wishes in
cheering and beautifuying your school
room or home.

SOFT TONES IN COMBINATION.
Feature That Is One of the Character
istics of the Season.

Combination of softest tones is one
Of the seasons characteristics. At a
recent function a beautiful costume
was of dark gray crepe de chine richly
embroidered with Japanese design
and worn with ruff of Alice blue and
gray hat trimmed with blue
feather. 1t was a really wonderful ar
rangement, and the fair wearer was
the cynosure OF all eyes.
Another beautiful dress was in the
directoire style, of natter blue, mar
quisette made over a foundation of
palest mauve. The hat was of blue,
trimmed with cloud of mauve chiffon
and blue fluff of marabout.
A pretty black gown of crepe de
chine was made with deep guimpe of
gold lace, while the sleeves were also
of the lace, with short oversleeve of
black. The crepe was draped round
the figure and the overskirt hung
gracefully below the line of the knee.

The earring is still pronounced, large
pearls and semi-precious stones being
freely worn.
Jumpers are modified into the direc-

under coats.
Corsets are high in the bust, small

ployed in many smart gowns.

Paris, Berlin and Vienna, the sole diff

Seated on her trunk, Hortense heard
