ARRANGE FLOWERS HASTILY
A Little Thought and Time Alone
Necessary to Produce An Ar
tistic Effect.

A knack for arranging flowers may
be developed into a great gift by the
girl who wishes to add to her per
sonality the charm of varied accom-
plishments.
Even in elaborate establishments
the most exquisite and expensive hot
house blossoms are often poorly ar
ranged They are left to servants
who are ignorant of artistic effect,
and so lose half their beauty.
If a girl has a pretty gift of this
sort she may often have occasion to
use it at weekend parties and so lift
large item Of worry from the har-
assed mind of the house party hostess
and at the same time gain for her
self the reputation of being a most
satisfactory guest.
At country houses where flowers
are brought every day from the hot
houses only a little time every morn
ing need be given to seeing that the
vases are freshly filled and taste dis
played in their arrangement. But II
one is staying in a simpler house
then more time is required for the
exercise of this happy gift, as the

ranged.
If there is a clock and pair of can
dlesticks or vases of bronze on the
mantle. surround them with ivy or a
groundwork of caladium leaves, filled
| in with the clusters of pink dahlias,
! which must be put into small bowls
of water that are hidden by the
greenery. Or, remove the ornaments
and have seven white candles gradu-
ated in pyramid fashion. the tallest in
the center. Each candle must be
stuck firmly into a small can filled
/ with sand and hidden by the foliage.
The floral arrangements should
conform with the candles, graduating
in pyramid style. This arrangement
has striking effect at night when
the. same flowers are piled in like
manner on the dinner table.
A more simple idea can be carried
out by filling a shallow pan with wet
sand and Embedding the candles in
| this. Then fill the pan with flowers

ter with border of white. pink OF

DRESS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Recently Devised Garment That Sure
ly Has Many Points of Ex-
ceIIence.

Women generally might be inter
ested in hearing about work dress
that is evidently convenient.
1t is made like a coat, is fitted in
the back, while the fronts are cut so
large they fold over as far as the I'M
derarms. Just at this point a short
belt is sewed to each front and cor
responding Sits are left in the un-
derarm seams.
The dress is cut square in the neck
and has long sleeves. It is open all
the way down the front and put on
like a coat. The fronts cross and the
belts pass through the Sits, button
ing in the back.
Only a few minutes are necessary
to adjust the dress, and for slipping
on to get an early breakfast or over
a good gown to get dinner at night
it cannot be excelled.
Again, as the frocks are double,
when the one front becomes soiled
the other can be placed over it and
conceal the soil so that the frock lasts
twice as long as the usual model

1e YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE

it made it impossible for me to walk,
and I was forced to stay indoors in the
warmest weather. My hopes Of recov-
cry were by this time spent. Sleepless
nights and restless days made life an
unbearable burden. At last 1 was
J advised to try the Cuticura remedies

FILLING THE SOIL IN AFRICA
Agricultural Operations Are Carried
on Extensively In All Parts

Extensive agricultural operations
are carried on in all parts of Africa.
In the Zambesi valley" Livingstone
said, 1T was no uncommon sight to
see men, women and children hard at
work in the field. with the baby lying
close by beneath a shady BUSH" He
found the people in this section rails

beans and ground nuts. They also
had patches Of yams, rice, pumpkins.
cucumbers, cassava, sweet potatoes,
tobacco and hemp. Maize was grown
the year round. Cotton was generally
cultivated. Three varieties were OBJ
served, two foreign and one native.
Every family Of any Importance had
cotton patch carefully cultivated.
Bishop Mackenzie came into this Sec
ton OF the continent as a fellow mis-
sionary of Livingstone. When the
good bishop beheld how well the
fields Of the Manganja were culti-
waited, he remarked. when telling
people in England what were my OBJ
Jects In going out to Africa 1 stated,
among other things. that I meant to
teach these people agriculture; but
/ now see that they know far more
about 1t than I do" Early travellers
in South Africa were amazed at the
wonderful proofs Of industry and the
extent of the cultivated land sur
rounding the great towns of the
Bechuannas. In 1913 a Mr.. Campbell
paid a visit to Lithako, the great
place OF the Balatpin. AS he ap-
preached the town he passed through
extensive corn fields spreading on
both sides of the road. His Hotten-
tot companions were amazed at the

CLEAN THE CLOSETS REGULAR
Apply White Paint With stin Brush
For Light Use Reflection
From Mirror.

A little time should be taken every
cleaning day in inspecting the closets
about the house that are slightly or
not at all used: generally there is one
under the upper stairs or over the cel-
lar steps.
These closets are In most instances
so dark that it is almost impossible TO
tell whether they are dirty or not, but
1t Is not hard to tell If they need
cleaning when you try to remember
the last time you gave them thor
ough cleaning.
These forgotten cloFets are breeders
OF disease. and they are often to be
found In the very best managed house
holds, for few housewives and stln
fewer maids will think of giving these
need as regularly az they do the other
rooms Of the house.
The dust might appear invisible
when you are not in search of it, but
II you fash light into the low cell
inged apartment it does not take much
imagination to picture how amazed
you will be.
A remedy for this is a can OF white
paint and a good stout brush. Apply
after a thorough cleaning out OF dirt
and wall paper, If there is any.
For light while cleaning the place
the reflection from mirror will
serve; but there will be no blind at
tempt to find your overshoes the next
rainy day if you give that closet two
good coats of white lead.

BenevoIence is a great thing When
you have benevolence you cannot rest
until you do something to make other
people feel grateful to you. The other

to poor people who could not afford to
buy any clothing for themselves
While she was hunting around she

brings it's own reward.-Benny.
