Care of an Azalea.

Dear Miss Doom.
Would you kindly give me some in
formation concerning an azalea plant?
1t was an Easter gift. l wish to pre-
serve 1t IL possible, but it has begun
to wilt and its leaves are falling off. Is
it too early to put outdoors?
CONSTANT READER.
Give the azalea plenty of water. A
good plan is to set the earthenware
pot in a dish of water. The plant
requires at least half a pint of water
a day. If it is kept in a jardiniere
there should be plenty of space be-
tween the flower pot and the jar
diniere; that is, they should not fit
tight without a chance for the air to
circulate. This is important. 1t is still
early to put it outdoors.

6S9S Four-Piece Skirt with High OF
Natural Waist Line, % to 80 waist.


Foulards are of SO many kinds and
shown in so many colors that they are
adapted to simple as we'll as to elabo-
rate gowns. This one includes figures
of white on a fuchsia background and
the blouse is piped with satin in a little
darker shade of fuchsia, while the
chemisette is of cream colored lace.
The gown is one of the very useful sort
that is available for numberless occa-
sions. The simple skirt Is made in four
cores, and the front and back portions
are finished and o~verlapped. The effect
is a novel and attractive one, and the
skirt can be finished with a high waist
line, as illustrated, or with a belt. The
blouse is as simple to make as a shirt
waist, hut is given a touch of distinc-
ton by the tabs and the little chemi-
settle. The model will be found an ex-
cellent one for linen or n summer ma
terial that can be made with so simple
a skirt. The blouse is one Of the very
latest and will be found practical for
the odd waist to be worn with a tall
ored suit, as well as for the entire gown.
When utilized in this way, it is adapted
to all wasting materials. Handker-
CHIEF lawn, with a little embroidery on
the right front and on the cuffs would
be dainty in the extreme. The skirt is
one of the smartest and best liked of
the season, and is in every way des!r-
able for the coat suit and for the sep
arate skirt, as well as for gowns of the
sort illustrated.
For the medium size the blouse will
require 81 yards of material q inches
wide, or 1s yards "A inches wide, with
