CHOOSING WALL PAPER.
IL Light Rejecting Qualities Should
30 Considered.

~ Light Rejecting Qualities Should
30 Considered.
No paper reflects all the light which
falls on 1t, but the brightest Of all
papers would be white blotting paper,
II that were allowable on the walls.
White plotting paper reflects four
6fths of the light. The remaining fifth
1t absorbs and renders useless. Ordi.
nary foolscap is less bright. swallow
ing three-tenths and rejecting only
seven-tenths.
Taking these as the brightest pos
sible papers. we can see how room
may be treated so as to be cheerfully
luminous or as gloomy as a prison.
The range is so great that We can
make the walls Of one room fourteen
to sixteen times darker than another,
although the same amount of light
enters both.
The brightest wall paper is the white
figured. while white and gold is almost
as effective in throwing back the light
falling on 1t.
1t may be taken as rejecting nearly
seven-tenths. Next comes chrome yel-
low paper. which reflects six-tenths.
and this is followed closely by orange
paper. rejecting 6ve-tenths Of the
light.
Yellow wall paper and yellow paint
ed walls give back only four-tenths Of
the light: they swallow up more than
they reflect. and light pink paper Is
Just Il tritie less bright
Light blue paper is rather deceitful.
Contrary to what one would expect. 1t
absorbs three-fourths Of the light

To be a kings daughter IL all very
well In fairy tale, but most kings
daughters have far from an easy Life.
There is the little fourteen-year-old
daughter Of the king and queen OF
England. She has lessons that would
shame many an American college
girl, for a princess education ends at
seventeen or eighteen. and there are
many things which she must learn
that ordinary girls are not troubled
with.
For instance. she must be proficient
In several languages and have good
working knowledge of the history Of
different nations, particularly their
modern history. She must be something
Of an artist and musician. and II her
mother is a person Of housewifely
tastes. as Is Princess Mary's mother.
then her spare moments are filed up
with instructions In regard to cooking,
baking. housekeeping and sewing.
When the little princess goes to visit
her grandma, Queen Alexandra, that
royal lady initiates her into the art Of
dairying, which to the daughter of a
king of Denmark 10 very important
matter. Then her father insists that
his daughter must not neglect her
horseback exercise or other outdoor
sports. in which nowadays all smart
young Englishwomen excel.
It will be seen that the little English
princess has no life Of leisure. The
only girl in a family Of four boys, all
Of them lively and fond Of fun. it may
be judged that the princess has no
chance to become self conscious or
vain.
One of the latest court rules Is that
every one not of royal rank must ad.
dress the little girl as "ma'am," and it
10 funny to Americans to see gray
haired dowagers courtesying to the
seventeen-year-old Prince Of Wales
and gravely answering his little sister
with prim "Yes, ma'ams" and mo.
ma'ams."

The varieties of phlox which grow
in a season are suitable for the anna
teur who wishes to produce striking
effect in her garden. There are so
many different varieties that any
shade desired except yellow may be
found. Varieties differ in height, size
and shape of blossom. All are Of
easy culture. The plants should have
a sunny position. They grow rapidly
and their blooming season is not long.

Window GARDENING.


No home should be without a win
dow garden In city homes trouble
frequently arises from insufficient care
in selecting plants which will with
stand the unfavorable conditions usu-
ally met with. Too great heat. insult
flcient air and insufficient light are Of
ten the great faults. The first two
conditions may be remedied by much
spraying and dampening. Spread out
cloths to protect the floor and spray the
plants frequently. If there is Insult.
cient light plants must be chosen
which will endure the shade.
Do not make the mistake Of using
inferior plants for your window gar.
den. Procure vigorous plants growing
in rich soil and you will be well re-
paid. Among the Towering plants suit
able for a window garden are the
Gala, cyclamen. Chinese and English
primroses, oxalis. geraniums, helio-
tropes. fuchsia and freesia. Attractive
hanging baskets may be filed with
vines to add to the beauty Of the room
or porch.
