CARING FOR HOUSE PLANTS
DURING COLD WEATHER
All Species Have individuality Various
Rules to Be Followed Plants
That Bloom in Winter.

In living room ideal conditions do
not exist and the flower lover must
select for her rooms some of the many
plants adapted to the ordinary indoor
atmosphere.
The palms with their decorative quality,
the croton's rich coloring, the new
varieties of Boston fern, the prettily
marked maranta and the flmy asparagus
all these and more can be used singly,
or may be planted on the window shelves
to form a background for the better
display of such Towering plants as the
relative, the frilled Chinese primrose, the
gorgeous Christmas cactus and the
quaint Chinese lantern plant. Later in
the season hyacinths and narcissi come
into flower, and throughout the winter
until late spring the oXalis is a mass Of
pink, white or yellow bloom.
In order to have healthy. f1ourishing
plants some attention must be given to
their needs, both general and individual
One important matter is good drainage.
There should be at least one inch of
pots. that the surplus water may drain
Off: otherwise the soil sours and the roots
cannot perform their work. Small pieces
of broken flower pot are usually used
and if charcoal is mixed with them it
helps to keep the earth sweet.
Each day fresh air should be admitted
to the room, but no draft should be al
lowed to strike the plants. Moisture in
the atmosphere is essential and is readily

provided by the steam which will arise
from a bowl of boiling water placed daily
upon the plant shelf, and, in addition to
this, all foliage should receive weekly a
generous spraying. Where the pots stand
in zinc trays fitted to the shelves thiSs Is
easily done, a hand-sprayer being so
used that the water will reach both sides
of the leaves. Or the pots may be placed
on their sides in the bathtub and the
plants quickly and thoroughly sprinkled
with tempered water from the shower
hose attachment.
When plants are in blossom it is bet
ter merely to sponge the foliage, as water
is apt to mar the flowers.
This weekly spraying does not. of
course. take the place of watering the
plants. which must be done carefully
and thoroughly. In order that the mois-
tIlre may reach the roots water should
be poured on the soil until 1t is saturat-
ed and the surplus water escapes through
the outlet in the base of the flower pot
or. as is the usual way in watering ferns,
the pots may stand in vessels of water
until the top of the soil becomes moist.
There is hard and fast rule as to
the intervals between waterings. for here
is an instance when a plants individual
ity asserts itself. some plants absorbing
moisture more quickly than others, and
needing water oftener-notably ferns
and the majority of Towering plants.
AS most vegetable life takes its nour-
ishment largely from the soil, it is wise
to replenis,h this by using one of the sew
eral excellent plant foods sold by seeds
men Whatever the kind chosen. the di-
rections must be followed absolutely. for
overstimAlation results in weakened
growth.

Hungarian Wives.

In marked contrast to the busting, one
might almost say gadding, afternoon Of
the American woman, the quiet. preor-
daned hours between noon and night
fall that mark the passing of time in the
life of the Hungarian woman of today
should seem Interestingly strange to her
sisters in the land beyond the sea.
When one duly considers the dress
maker, the miliner. the matinee lin New
York city especially, even compare
lively short calling list the shops. the
clubs, lectures, tea in the large hotels
and bridge. it does not seem SO unbeliev-
able that there are SO many and such
serious nervous coIlapses among quite
young American women.
A visit to a Hungarian home and the
privilege Of a thorough inspection of its
housekeeping arrangements would fill the
average American woman with wonder
and awe.
The Hungarians are noted for their
careful and elaborate cooking. No Hun
garian girl escapes her apprenticeship in
the kitchen, where the mysteries of blend
ed paprika and sour cream are unfolded
to her. She must also become familiar
with the secrets of preserving fruits.
With what pride will the housekeeper
show you her preserve pantry. Row upon
row and shelf above shelf in precise order
as to size and labelling. An entire shelf
OF cherries. one of pears, etc. and you
will be indeed fortunate if you are in
vited to partake of their uneXcelled fla
yor 1t is considered an example of eX
treme shftle ssness in a woman to serve
preserves not put UP by her own hands.
Can you calculate how many afternoons
were required to furnish such pantry?
Ask your hostess to show you her stock
of cover air aprons. They will help
you solve the riddle.
Hungary is a land Of exposed closets.
The built-in closet that is part of the
American home is unknown. There is, in
stead. an article of furniture similar to
the old-fashioned wardrobe" They are
usually huge affairs that open from the
center by two doors.
Here again is an opportunity to appre-
ciate how busy the long. quiet afternoons
have been. Piles of snowy bed linen, each
piece embroidered with the initial. Sets
by hand and always embroidered with the
initials. frequently of the maiden name of
wife of many years. Blankets and bed
quilts are also embroidered with the mi
tials or the first letter Of the family name
These closets also should be silently elo-
quent explanations of how a Hungarian
woman's afternoon is spent. If she has
but one servant she must spend much
time in the supervision of the entire
work of the house If, however she has
sufficient means to employ several. she
usually has what is called a "hazi kisass-
zony," which. translated into German.
means haus fraulein, who takes much of
the responsibility from her.

ests naturally claim part of her time

Dry Baths Beneficial.

Spring Fashion Notes.

Some of the handsomest parasols will
have a great deal Of hand work on them.
Embroidery in shaded effect with the
tone Of the silk predominating in the
design will be a fayorite. One unusual
design combines embroidery, braiding and
little ornaments OF braided strands of the
embroidery silk, which are fringed out at
the lower part.
A recent fad in umbrella handles is a
covering of beads. Jet beads have been
seen before in such use, but the newest
handles show beads of every hue and
kind. Plain straight sticks, rings, crooks
and other familiar shapes appear in the
bead finish, sometimes enhanced by the
addition of large cleaning stones CORE
spending in color. One very odd handle
in iridescent amethyst colorings is made
in the shape of birds head, the eyes
being represented by two large oval anne

Trouble on First Visit

| East chicago. March 2s.-Frank Rib
! ley of Sharon, Pa, wild. woody and
! hard to curry. was a prisoner last
night at the East Chicago police sta
ton, after having broken into a
grocery at One Hundred and Forty
ninth and Magoun avenue. bombarding
the police officers who came to arrest
i him, with packages of tobacco, driving
his fist through a glass door in the
city hall and trying to bunt his way
through a brick wall.
Upon awakening in a cell in the sta
ton this morning, Ridley asked where
he was, and claimed to have forgotten
every detail of the excitement he had
! furnished the night before. He had
also forgotten about coming to East
Chicago and did not know how he got
here, and has not the fafntest recollec
ton of the day he arrived.
The grocery of which he took posses
sion is conducted by one Scora. The
front door is guarded by a storm house
and Ridley managed to get inside IF
this, after which he broke the glass In
the inner door. and ensconced himself
on the counter whence he hurled de-
fiances to the grocer and his wife. who
heard the racket and came into see
what ii was all about.
! Mrs. Scora went out TO find a police
officer and encountered officer Clyde
Spencer, whom she told OF what had
happened Spencer telephoned for
: Sergeant Mike German as he did not
care to undertake the contract Of sub
DUNG so energetic gentleman as Rib
ley was reported to be. single-ha I.
When the two officers entered the
grocery they found Ridley sitting on
the counter and a their appea ran be
began to hurl packages of Mail
Pouch" and "Day and Night at them.
They gathered him in and on arriving
at the station he thrust his fist through
the glass in the door leading from the
mayors office to the police station.
Then he tried to go through the walls
of his cell and at last settled down TO
slumber. He was on trial this morning
before Judge Riley.
He had a letter from the Hubbard
Steel company here asking him to come
to East Chicago and get job. He is
a moulder by trade and in good stand
