. SENDING FLOWERS BY POST.


1t is such a joy to the town dwelleI
to receive a nicely packed box of flow
ers and foliage from the country; but,
alas, there are so few people who know
how to pack them so that they arrive
in anything like disable condition. Very
often the flowers are put in so wet that
the box, If of cardboard, is so sodden
with water that it is crushed absolute
ly fiat, and the poor flowers inside are
reduced to pulp.
If at any time you are packing flow
ers to SEND by post, remember:
1. They should be gathered early in
the day, before the sun is on them.
2. Only half-opened flowers should be
sent; full bloom ones will fall to pieces
on the way.
3. The stems should be put into water
for an hour or two.
4. After taking out of the water the
flowers should be laid for at least a
quarter of an hour on a towel, so that
the water may drain from them.
5. The box should be we'll lined with
tissue paper.
6. A tied-on label, on which the
stamps can be stuck, should be used,
but the address should also be written
on the box.
Provided all these points are attended
to, there is every chance that the flow
ers will be nice and fresh when they
arrive.

DON'T STAY AT HOME.


81 scarcely ever go out anywhere
said a woman to me the other day.
There are always SO many things that
need to be done at home that l haven't
time to go visiting"
That's u mistake that many a wife
makes, more especially after the babies
begin to come; but 1t is a mistake;
there is no doubt about that.
For the woman who stays too much
at home is apt, after a time, to get
dull and 'nervy'' and irritable. For
however dearly one may love ones
home and ones own people, they are
not and cannot be enough for one at
all times.
1t is good to go out and meet friends,
even If only to get new ideas n new
things to think of and talk about.
So don't give up your friends, even
though to go and see them nay some
times mean that something at home
must be let go. That the house should
be kept bright and cheerful looking is
important, of course, but it is far more
important that you yourself should
keep bright and cheerful.

Small Women, ID, 16 M IS years.
Striped materials are in the height of
fashion this season and striped linen
makes a most charming as well as
practical morning dress. This one
combines one of the new shirt waists
with a six-gored skirt. In this case
the skirt is trimmed at the sides with
bias banding of materials, n collar
and cuffs are cut on the bias. Striped
materials always can be made to trim
themselves in such ways and are great
ly in vogue, but these same models
can be varied in many ways. The
blouse can be made with the round
collar and shorter. sleeves illustrated,
and 1t can be finished with a box plat
at the front n made with a high
turned-over collar and with regulation
sleeves. The two treatments mean
such different effects that really there
are two waists in one. The skirt is
smooth fitting, but not e~xaggeratedly
narrow. 1t can be made with a plain
front gore, as in this instance, OF with
trimming applied over the edges. n
finished in this way it become much
more elaborate In effect. For such a
dress as the one illustrated there are
a great many appropriate materials.
All the simpler washable ones, such as
lawn, batiste, Bingham, percale ana
the Ike are excellent. Color on white
n white on color are being much
used, and the dress, just as Illustrated,
made from blue linen chambray with
collar and cuffs of white would be very
attractive. White linen could be
4rimmed with blue or rose color.
For a girl 16 ear of age the waist
will require ga yards of material q

for the skirt will be NEEDED Az yards

Beads on Waist.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Please tell me whether it will be
wise to use beads on a new waist which
i intend having made, Also what sort
of embroidery would look well on ivory
linen crash. KITTY.
Beads, both large and small, will
still be a feature of the new blouses
and are to be used in brilliant color
ings. Heavy worsted embroidery IS
used on ivory crash with excellent eff
feet. Hindu designs will be suitable
with these c%olors; bright bite or coral
will also be pretty.

BLAcKHEADS.


Here is a cure for blackheads: One
ounce of soap liniment and one ounce
of ether; mix. At night wash the face
thoroughly with hot water, using a
complexion or other soft brush. After
wiping apply the mixture to each of
the spots and let 1t remain on over
night. Wash off in the morning with
hot water. Continue until the spots
have disappeared. Then twice a week
wash the face with this mixture, re-
moving the liquid at once by rinsing
with clear water. If there are large
pores, wipe over each with a little
alcohol

No Place Sacred to Thieves.

Dr. Carlos F. Macdonald, the fa
nous alienist, was a witness at a ses
sion of the supreme court in New
York a few days ago. He had an ex-
pensive fur-lined overcoat, which he
threw on a chair some distance from
where he took a seat The clerk OF
the court advised the doctor that he
would keep the coat under observa-
ton. you don't mean to tell me,
said DR.. Macdonald, incredulously,
that any one would dare come into
this courtroom and take my coat?"
The clerk assured him that there was
such a possibility. why" said the
court official, do you know that two
men lost suits in this courtroom yes
terday?" Dr. Macdonald didn't mind
the pun, but he watched his coat.
Some time ago a well-known lawyer
did lose his overcoat in a supreme
court room in the notorious Tweed
courthouse" 1t was on a cold day,
too. The lawyer laid his coat on a
chair behind him and addressed the
court When he reached for the gar
ment he found an old rusty one,
which somebody had left in its place
Hence the advice to Dr. Macdonald.

Memnon,a slnoIna statue.

Sir CASTOR Maspero supplies some
interesting information concerning a
modern reproduction of the so-called
vocal statue of Memnon, the salute"
of which to the rising sun formed one
of the marvels of antiquity. In 1901
two of the great stones in the hypo-
style hall of the Temple of Edfu
showed signs Of falling and were sup
ported on an iron structure as a tenn
porary measure. From this date un-
til five years ago, when the impro-
vised iron support was exchanged for
one of wood and concrete, the stones
every morning at sunrise gave forth
noises like revolver shots, sometimes
single and at intervals sometimes in
a continuous volley, but always ter
minating in a clear and vibrating
sound like a deep sigh. This is sup
ported by the evidence given officially
by NJ. Barsanti, who was in charge Of
the work; NJ. Carlo Oropesa. the
painter employed by the Cairo mu-
scum. and NJ Henri Pieron. who was
occupied with some of the architec
tural details.-From the Athenaeum.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Information Of Importance TO Everyone

A great deal of pain and suffering
might be avoided if we had some know
ledge of physiology and the care of the
body, particularly those parts that do
the most work and should always be
kept strong and healthy.
In an interview with a prominent
physician he states that people should
pay more attention to their kidneys as.
they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous.
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often ear more richy
heavy food thereby forcing the kidneys
to 90 more work than Mature intended
Evidence of kidney trouble, such as
lame back, inability to hold uriney
smarring or burning. briek-dust or sedi-
ment, sallow complexion, rheumatism,
may be weak or irregular heart action,
