CHOICE OF HAlRPlNS.
How to Select the Right Kind and
Show Good Taste.

Do not get into the habit of thinking
that suitable hairpin is anything
that will hold up the hair. If this no.
ton were not so widespread there
would not be so many freakish look
Ing heads and cut and split hair.
Hairpins may be wrong in several
ways. They may be too ornate, which
Is poor taste, or too rough and cheap,
which is ruination to the hair.
Some women will wear nothing but
tortoise shell pins in their hair. This
Is undoubtedly luxury, as most hair
is given to shedding pins at wholesale
rates. There is nothing, however, that
is so little injurious to the hair from
the absolute smoothness of the sur
face.
When you cannot afford real shell
the next choice is a good celuloid pin.
This is smoother and less unsightly
than rubber and not so ugly nor SO
injurious as metal pins. The latter
should not be worn by women whose
hair is very fine or whose scalps per-
spire.
Where a pin shows, as is the case
with the present style of braids, if
possible buy real shells, though your
smaller pins are imitation If care
SILLY handled, kept from extreme heat
md cold and securely inserted these
pins should last for years.
DO not overcrowd your head with
pins. Most women wear more than is
necessary. Learn to adjust pin prop
erly, and the number may be sensibly
decreased. Overpinning breaks the
hair and may irritate sensitive scalps.
Good taste in hair pins is shown by
wearing those that are inconspicuous,

affect huge knots on the ends of their
pins, or they are studded with jewels

PRUNING GARDEN SHRUBS.
How the Process Must Be Accom-
pIished to Get Best Results.

AS ornamental trees and shrubs are
pruned TO aid in the production of
flowers and foliage, the Towering sea-
son necessarily controls the time of
pruning.
Many OF the early blooming shrubs
develop their flowers the year before,
and with these heavy pruning should
be delayed until Just after their flow
ering season. Deutzia. spirea. forsy-
thia and many other popular shrubs
are of this character. Soon after their
towering season is over they begin
to develop buds for the next year.
Shrubs needing heavy trimming
should be pruned in early winter. This
will result in larger blooms on the re-
naming buds. Such plants as the
hydrangea and the clematis, which
make their Towering buds on shoots
grown the same year, should be prun-
ed heavily while dormant as this will
give a greater profusion of shoots on
which to develop new buds.
When pruning hardy deciduOus flow
ering shrubs all dead wood should be
cut out, struggling branches either
shortened or removed. and all suckers
arising from the roots should be de-
stroyed. Where shrubs are planted
in clumps, branches that interfere with
other branches should be cut out. 1t
is n good idea to cover the wounds
with white lead or grating wax, as
If stub is left uncovered the healing
of the wound will be left until the stub
is rooted out and the rotting stub will
be a lodging place for bacteria and
fungus. Cut the branch off clean and
close to the main stem, avoiding any
stub, and cover the wound with graft
ing wax melted and applied hot.

AQUATIC PLANT CULTURE.
How an Amateur Can Construct a Lily

Pond In Home Garden.
Aquatic plants for the home garden
are not grown as much as they should
be, Amateurs who hesitate for fear
of failure are wrong, for water lilies
require far less care than tender bed
ding plants and are less expensive.
Any swampy or boggy ground can
easily he converted into an aquatic
garden. Flowering shrubs, trees and
ferns will grow luxuriantly near Il
pond. When you decide on the loca-
ton Of your pond. which should be at
the lowest point of the garden, dig
out the soil from eighteen inches to
three feet deep, depending on the Sc
verify of the winters in your locality.
The lilies must be planted deep enough
to prevent their freezing.
An inexpensive way to make your
pond hold water is to line 1t with COM
mon clay. Cover the bottom and sides
of the pond with this clay three or
four inches thick and beat firmly until
solid and even.
The best method is to plant your
water lilies in boxes or tubs. Use rich
soil, as coarse as possible. Rough
pieces of sod and Jumps of earth
should be mixed in. Boxes holding
five or six cubic feet will accommodate
strong growing plants, and others hold
ing half that much will be large enough
for the weaker growing plants.
If the pond is large, the soil may be
placed on the bottom and the plants
set out in it, but in smaller ponds I'M

er plants will quickly cover the bot

How to Water Window Boxes.

The watering of plants in window
box is of the first Importance. With
poor loan and correct watering 1t is
possible to keep plants in a hourishing
condition for days. With the best OF
loan and insufficient watering the
chances of keeping the plants alive are
poor. 1t isn't sufficient to sprinkle
lightly every morning. The water
should be poured ON several times a
lay. Don't be stingy with the water.
Pour 1t on the thirsty plants. 1t is
best to soak thoroughly the boxes at
night and early in the morning before
the sun Is high. About the middle of
the summer as much loan as possible
should be dug from the top of the box
without disturbing the roots and be
replaced with new, rich leaf mold or
1ecayed soil. In addition, give fire.

About 200 Elks from Scranton ar

about O'Clock on a special train.
They were met by Burgess Kuhbach
and number of Elks, and proceeded
to the City Hall, where an evening
of merriment was spent. Among
the Elks who arrived on the 10
o'clock morning train from Scran-
ton, were the following: Grand Es-
teemed Lecturing Knight, ]. d. Jones,

At the institution of this society in
1867, it was composed only of a few
gentlemen of the theatrical profess
sion, drawn together for social inter-
course. 1t has now developed into a
widespread and powerful order of
benevolence and charity, with lodges
in over nine hundred of the princi-
pal cities of the Union. Born of
brotherly love, and aiming to pro-
mote the brotherhood of man, it is
designed to offer its members the GER
tainty of sympathetic hearts and
welcome hearths in the various cities
to which business or pleasure NAV
summon them. One can well realize
the satisfaction in finding in every
city circle of kindred minds, kind.
appreciative and indulgent friends,
social spirits. who, linked together
by the mystic tie, extend the right
hand of fellowship, and greet you
with the kind smile of brotherhood.
The social connection, the oppor-
tunity to bring the brothers into a
closer conception of the true claims
FOR consideration of its members, is
the only object of the Order of Elks.
Brotherly love and justice are not
the brightest jewels in the crown Of
a worthy member. Charity shines
forth prominently in all their actions
the beacon light that guides them
from the shoals of reckless liberality
and the quicksands of proyerbial
prodigality. 1t is needless to refer
to the well known generous charity
of the Order, whenever occasion de-
mands its aid. Scarcely can the cry
of distress echo on the air, the wall
of misfortune or the moan of des-
pair summon assistance. ere the Elks
tender the best efforts to aid and re-
lieye, questioning neither county
nor creed, doctrine nor belief.
Charity, Brotherly Love and FL
deity are the watchwords of the Or,
der, and Humanity its keynote, and
daily and hourly do the prayers of
the widow and orphan ascend to the
Throne of Grace, imploring blessings
upon the magnanimous and bene-
ficent order of Elks.
