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 beautiful costume
was of dark gray crepe de chine richly
embroidered with Japanese design
and worn with run of Alice blue and
n gray hat trimmed with n blue
feather. 1t was n really wonderful ar

trimmed with cloud of mauve chiffon
and blue fun 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 n 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'
toire waistcoat OF lace or linep worn
under coats.
Corsets are high in the bust. small
and round in the waist and very long
from the waist down.
Blue comes first in fall colors. and
the dark rich tone navy will be en-
ployed in many smart gowns.
Tosca nets when embroidered In
pastel colors are very rich for entire
waists. The embroidery need not be
very elaborate.
The variation of the usual pierrot
run is one composed of white and
gray mallne from the collar OF which
spring minute tails OF brown fur.
Crystal beadwork is found upon
very dressy evening frocks. but the
style is not so well received as satin
flower decorations. Persian bandings
are used under slashed waist seams.

Gardens Reea
Nueh Care apd
Ate DtioD.

Water is the most essential element
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
times 1t 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. 1t Is
well to open window for few mo-
in winter. Dust frequently clogs the
pores. For this reason IL Is best 10
sprinkle the foliage plants by taking
them to the kitchen sink or to the
Sathtub at least once or twice week
If this is not practicable. busting with
a duster or washing coriaceous leaves
with sponge Is advisable. Where the
plants can be properly sprayed they
are not likely to be troubled very much
with insects. In case single plant is

Objectionable 10 have in 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
in 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.

Washington.-Not the least good
that Theodore Roosevelt, as president
of the United States, has done his
countrymen has been to quicken by
precept and example their love and
appreciation of healthy, athletic and

Gifts to Bridesmaids
Made ip New and
Pretty RaSbioD.

At recent wedding the bride hit
on 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 chrysanthrmums. and white rib
bon with small heart, cut from sill
yer paper, was attached to each pack
age.
The bell was 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 green's.
Each heart had 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 time. This took the
small boxes from the shelf without
possibility of breakage.
The boxes when opened were found
10 contain. in addition to an odd
buckle, a small card. with the date of
the wedding, the initials of the bride
and groom and a merry jingle appro-
pirate to the occasion.

Squelching Him.


The Rev. Sam Jones greatly disliked
being interrupted when speaking and
the rash auditor who attempted 1t
generally met with pretty sharp re-
tort.
He was preaching on prosperity.
when a little man in the front row
shouted:
Prosperity hain't hit me very hard
yet! Tell us about suthln' we know
about"
The speaker paused and glaring
down at the diminutive interrupter
squelched him with the following:
so prosperity hain't hit you yet, eh ?
Well. you can't expect 1t to till you
grow some. 1t is pretty hard work to
hit nothing."
