MAS. KNOX LOVES voLErs.

Mrs. Philander c. Knox. wife of the
secretary Of state. IS deeply in love
with violets. No one ever enters the
Knox home in Washington without be-
ing greeted with their delicious odor.
Exquisite cut glass bowls OF white and
parma violets are always on the table
in the hall and in the drawing room
and library Mrs. Knox at her country
place in Pennsylvania takes delight In
her violet bed. Each year she culti-
Yates new seeds obtained with great
care from plants which she brought
from the Riviera some ten or twelve
years ago. Each of her close friends
receives a box of violets several times
a season. They look forward to the
treat with keen expectation. Mrs.
Knox has a whole corner Of the great
greenhouse in the Valley Forge farm
set apart for violet culture. She has
read tones on the subject and has a
pretty collection Of books on violet
facts and fancies and all the legends
connected with the modest little flower.

Ear Harness For Sleeping.
Since the advent OF the no ear style

specially designed for improving the

new harness for grownups fastens over
the top OF the head and clasps the lobes
of the ears so as to hold them close

paratus IS I'm the Land of Nod.
A clever girl has tried dividing her

USE on sPARE MOMENTS.

One Of the greatest difficulties OF life
is the utilization OF odd moments Of
time. In a woman's varied occupations,
especially household matters. writing.
needlework and outdoor pursuits, there
are quite a number OF tasks upon
which It is quite useless to embark ex-
cept with an uninterrupted period OF
two or three hours before one; others
which might be taken up and laid
down again without difficulty are per-
haps too large and untidy to bring out
for a few minutes. and the little dainty
bits Of work that might conveniently
be done at such times are not sufh-
ciently prepared.
