Color Under Black.

From the Philadelphia North American.
For the amateur there is a wonderful
black chiffon blouse that promises res
pite from the cleaners BILL while sup
plying that craving for a less soinber
garment Of all black.
White messaline is the lining-creamy
white at that-and across the shoulders
OF this underbodice is placed a three
inch band of gold net lace with touches
OF bronze and silver in its pattern.
This reaches across the front OF an
ordinary yoke line. round the shoulders
and across the back. where it fastens
with the cream silk lining. Below this,
at the bust line and going around the
figure, is hung a second band and over
this beateous background is draped
black chiffon in tucks and folds or in
whatever form or pattern the wearer az
fects.
However it is made. its lining. show

the dullness Of dead black chiffon. while
the blouse will be in perfect harmony
with the black broadcloth suit-a gar
ment not in the least easy to provide
with u separate blouse.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW.

There is no royal road to success. The
only one known to mortals is paved with
hard work and sacrifice, and every time
you hear Of the achievement OF some
man or woman who is Teapng a reward
in good dollars you must not forget the
long hours, the patience. the persistency
and the s,lf-denial which marked weary
years of struggle. You see, we hear only
the pleasant part Of the tale save from
persons who take a degree Of pleasure in
recalling hardships as we'll as pleasures
How 10 rake good is the problem at
which We are all put to work when we
are brought face to face with the big
world. Some OF us have helpers. but the
great majority must find a footing with
out more assistance than a display Of fit
ness. In a discussion concerning the luck
of a man who perpetually fell into a new
berth as soon as he ceased drawing pay
I'm an old one a friend dwelt at length
upon his charm Of manner. Another
spoke OF his confident bearing. which al
ways produced a pleasing effect upon
employers. Nobody said a word about
his work, which could not have been
above the average. although II must have
been somewhere near that point to es-
cape adverse criticism.
Charm of manner Is a valuable asset.

counts for much more IN the long run
While none are Indispensable. a man or
woman can create an atmosphere Of re-
liability which makes an employer dread

of Useful Hints.
From the Detroit Nev~Tribune.
We have no doubt that il we were TO
examine the windows Of our fiower-lov-
ing friends just now. at the close Of
winter. We should find many plants in a
stunted and Notwithstanding plants in a
These stunted plants viii nearly always
be found to be affected with a disease
called rust. They are not growing and
seem to have come 10 a standstill. The
foliage is hard and the ends Of the shoots
black. and in many cases gnarled and
twisted
There are many plants apt TO he thus
affected The henotrope. the verbeua and
the fuchsia are all especially susceptible
to rust. II viii not often injure young
plants unless they have been grown from
rusty plants.
The rust comes from want Of viGOr in
the plant, which has been growing in the
same window all winter, with little fresh
air. It has become thoroughly pot
bound and impoverished and in this con-
dition easily falls prey to the COM
mon disease described above.
When plants get this condition the
first thing TO do is TO remove them 10 a
cooler place, with heat enough TO keep
them from freezing. end give them all
the air possible Now that II Is the sea-
son for planting out put them in the
open at once and they will soon recover
and grow out of the disease. showing
clearly that 1t is change they want.
Primroses that have been Towering all
winter will now be pretty we'll filed with
seedpods. These flower shoots should be
cut back. all yellow leaves cut off and
the plants fed with a pretty strong ma
nure water. This treatment will cause
them TO send up at once more flower
stalks and you will get quite pretty
show of bloom from them before warm
weather. But If you fail to take this
trouble from henceforth they will do lit
tie good.
Petunias that We have observed flower
ing beautifully in many windows the past
winter are now pretty well spent and
yellow-looking. In the main. plants OF
petunlas that have been Towering all
winter are Of little account. as they
are a creature of only a few months at
best. They will not stand much stimu-
lation in the way Of manure water az

TO cut off all the ripened growth and al

way they will be SNOWY for a while lon

When two people come to live to-

No doubt many matrimonial quarrels
