PRETTY FERN DISH
CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE TABLE
DECORATION.
Plants That Are inexpensive and
Require Little Care Are the Best
To Keep Them Always
in Healthy Condition.

The increasing interest in home dec
grafton by living plants is. well shown
in the present popularity of ferns in
fern dishes. People are learning to
appreciate more fully the beauty of
the small ferns used for this purpose
and are recognizing their value as
units of decoration While the ferns
are not so striking in appearance as
many OF the Towering plants they
have certain advantages which the lat
ter lack. The ferns thrive away from
direct sunlight; they have so small
root development that several plants
can be crowded into small, shallow
dish; they have an unexcelled variety
OF beauty in foliage forms and show
lovely and satisfying tones of green.
They are inexpensive and require very
little care.
Among the sorts with coarser leaf.
age the well known holly fern Is one
OF the best for fern dishes, provided
small plants are chosen. The green
iof the young leaves Of this variety Ia
much fresher and more attractive than
that OF older leaves and the roots OF
young plants are not too large to go In
the dish. Consequently young plants
must be chosen for transplantine
rather than one or two older ones
When they outgrow the dish they
must be replaced by others.
Some Of the best ferns for shallow
dishes belong to the genus peteris, a
large group in which very diverse
forms are found. The while-lined
,pteris is a very attractive sort with
narrow LEAKAGE which Is green ano
white. The closely related magnifica
variety is somewhat similar, the slen
der stems and spreading leaves giving
a fine effect when massed in low
fern dish.
The variety Of pteris known as vii
sons fern is certainly one of the very
best sorts for use In fern dishes. II

Frequent CHANCES of Name.

The politica; rscA istening of streets
in Paris is outdone by the case of the
Island of Reunion, which changed its
name four times in just over half
century. In 1898 it was Bourbon, as
it had been for century and a half,
but the convention then changed it
to Reunion. Under the empire it be-
came lie Bonaparte, at the restora-
ton it reverted to Bourbon, and final
ly, in 1S4S, it became Reunion once
more. So the septuagenarian island
ers of this last year could recall an
unparalleled series of compulsory
changes. They must have thought
themselves lucky q few years later
when the second empire refrained
from Bonapartizing this island again.
