HOW TO TAKE CARE
OF HOUSE PLANTS
Palms Do Not Require a
Large Pot.

Overlooking will produce plant indi-
gestion and arrest development-even
kill a plant. A half-pound Of bonemeal
costing about cents will be sufficient
for a number of plants. It can be OBJ
tanned at the greenhouse or in many Of
the department stores where flowers are
kept.
Palms do not require a very large pot.
A three or four-year old plant, If of
vigorous development, may require
twelve-inch pot, but it is surprising how
we'll a palm will do in a five or six-inch
pot II suitable and nourishing soil is sup
piled.
Ferns require a light. spongy soil and
need plenty of root room. A year-old
plant ought to have at least a ten-inch
pot. The best soil for ferns is made by
mixing garden loan and leaf mold in
equal portions. AS a substitute for leaf
mold, which is sometimes difficult to
get, scrape away the fibrous matter Of
old sward, using that portion tmme-
diately below the grass. This is full
of fine roots, and mix with equal parts
of garden loan and little coarse sand
enough to make the mass friable so that
it will readily fall apart when squeezed
with the hand-will insure a good growth
II the plant receives proper care. Be
careful to see that the soil of ferns
never becomes entirely dry. A year-old
fern. when properly cared for, ought to
have fifty to sixty fronds of four to five
feet in length.
Care of Rubber Plant.
The ficus. or rubber plant, needs a
rich soil and a good-sized pot, and
should receive a moderate amount Of
water and plenty of sunshine.
The aspidistra requires a rich soil
and a regular supply of water. It is
also a very hardy plant that will grow
with very little attention 1t has a
rich dark green glossy foliage. This
foliage is sent up direct from the soil
and has no branches.
When plants are too large to repot,
depend upon concentrated fertilizer for
plant nourishment. A spoonful Of bone
meal worked well into the soil about
the roots every three months, If the
plant is putting forth new growth, should
be about the right feeding the plant re-
Quires.
In repotting do not forget that good
drainage is the mcst important factor OF
plant culture, and see to II that the
broken crockery and the charcoal are
put in the bottom of all pots. Do not
have the earth come too high In the
pots, but leave a space of half inch to
an inch at the top OF the pot to allow
for watering.

SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS AN
ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT

II you want to entertain twelve guests
and your table only holds six or eight
and furthermore you have only one
maid or none at all, invite them to Sum
day night supper.
Sunday night suppers are among the
most enjoyable of all informal entertain
ments; the easiest to prepare, and the
simplest to serve. The menu need not
include a dessert; in fact, one or two
courses at the most are considered all
that is necessary. But these dishes must
be carefully chosen, substantial and ex-
tremely platable.
In cold weather one dish at least
should be hot, and there should be
enough OF it provided for plates to be
handed back for second helps. This is
the piece de resistance, and the hostess
usually prepare 1t herself. Sometimes
IT is made on the chafing dish, and some
times 1t is baked in the oven of the
kitchen stove. Few cooks may be trust

or a sum-" 1 said, by giving your vi
tality to such thoughts as these.
Let the public applaud whom and
when it will! Let the calcium light fall
where 1t may: there is some cause for
it all; conserve your forces for attrac-
ing the success you believe you merit
Every bitter, resentful impulse INDUCED
in is a step away from your goal.
DO not talk about your desire to lift
the ideals of the public to a higher
standard of art until you have lifted your
own mind and heart to a higher stand
ard than acrimonious criticism. Cease
to concern yourself with the poor acting
OF others and concentrate upon the de-
termination to act well your own part
and to find your rightful place upon the
stage. ..-

you attempt to make over public taste"

The Rue de la Paix, Paris, is again
crowded during the afternoon, and from

Paris is to be seen sauntering along the
gayly illuminated thoroughfare, that gilt

Diamonds, beautiful. large, pure stones,
and cabochon rubies appear, pro tenn, to
lead the way in expensive gems; pearls,
of course, are always beautiful, and ac-
cordingly always fashionable, but the
magnificent brilliant presented to Miss
Madeleine Force by Col. John Jacob
Astor as a betrothal ring has once again
set the fashion in big diamonds that
had within the last decade decidedly lost
favor
Indeed, diamonds were considered the
desiderata of nouveauX riches, and
Parisians, for this reason, had eschewed
the beautiful white stones almost COM
pletely.
