FERNS NEED. SPECIAL CARE
Too Frequent Watering of This Sensi-
tive Plant, for Instance, Is to
Be Avoided.

Is your fern suffering from summer
complaint?
If it Is you have failed to learn the
most important of all facts In the care
of ferns, which is that too frequent
watering Is not good for these delicate
plants The Boston variety, or short,
curly kind, is generally considered
difficult to keep in a thriving condi-
ton, yet one woman finds the task
comparatively easy.
This housewife, who takes a pecu-
liar joy in all the beauty pertaining to
a home, declares the fern should be
kept in front Of window, where 1t
receives the morning sun. 1t must
stand on soft surface, sand in a jar
diniere much larger than the fern pot
being one of the best arrangements.
This allows it to get plenty of air, an
essential point in its care.
Do not water the fern more often
than every other day. Now and then
It Is best to wait three or four days,
as a good dryout is most advisable.
Take the fern into the laundry or
basement and give 1t good bath
once or twice a month.
Never let the temperature average
more than 70 in the room where the
fern Is kept, cooler atmosphere be-
ing better Keep the plants free from
dry or dead leaves. If possible, place
the fern in a shady place in the yard
for it's summer outing, packing earth
well around the pot, a treatment
which increases it's growth.

MADE UP OF ODDS AND ENDS
Very Pretty Are the Candle Shades
of Lace Designed in All Shapes
and Colors.

Very fetching are the new candle
shades whose foundation is a finely
plated fiber, and that can be had in
all colors. The straight narrow En-
pire shade is the favorite, though some
of the designs spread sharply at the
bottom.
The decoration is varied, some have
festoons of tiny ribbon flowers in soft
tones. others have inserts of filmy
lace combined with the flowers, and
some have bands and frills of lace
headed with narrow metal gimp.
A candle shade that looks we'll with
all color schemes is made of crystal
beads, strung into fanciful designs and
finished with bead fringe. The favorite
is pagoda shape, another is bell shape,
and some are square. These beads
are usually made up over white lining,
but are effective over a warm yellow.
green or American Beauty tone.
The girl who has odds and ends of
lace can put them to no better use
than to make a set of four candle
shades. Finish the top with a tiny
lace gimp, which may likewise con-
ceal the seam If the lace must be-
pieced

OVEN HEAT NOT THE BEST
Necessity Arises to Keep Pre-
pared Food Warm.

To keep food warm is very impor.
tant detail, to which sufficient atten-
ton is not paid First of all. food
should never be put into the oven to
keep warm. This is a common prac-
tice and bad one. The kind of heat
to which the article of food is subject
ed tends to dry the surfaces, some
times to leather, sometimes to a
crisp. This spoils the havor and
renders the dish unappetizing.
There is but one right way to keep
warm. Put it upon dish, plate, or
bowl, according to its consistency;
cover it closely with an inverted bowl,
dish, or plate; make 1t as alright al
possible. Half fill with boiling water
pot or saucepan, into the top Of
which the vessel containing the food
will fit; set it back on the stove where
the water will be kept at boiling point,
place the dish or bowl under it, and
leave until required.
II this suggestion is followed, it will
be found that most dishes can be kept
for while without losing caste.
Croquettes and all fried foods are
che exception. BY standing they be-
come limp and soggy. II they cannot
be fried at the last moment, they may
be kept hot short time in the front
Of an open oven.

CHAPTER XIV.
Colonel Fentress.

Colonel FentreSS.
The Judge had not forgotten his
ghost, the ghost he had seen In Mr..
Saul's Office that day he went to the
court house on business for Charley
Norton. Working or idling-principal-
ly the iatter-drunk or sober-pr1n-
wise Colonel Fentress. had preserved
a place in his thoughts, and now as
he moved stolidly up the drive toward
Fentress' big white house on the hill
with Mahaffy, Cavendish and Yancy
trailing in his wake, memories of what
had once been living and vital crowd
ed in upon him. Some sense OF the
wreck that littere the long years, and
the shame of the open shame that had
swept away pride and self-respect,
came back to him out OF the past.
He only paused when he stood on
the portico before Fentress' open
door, He glanced about him at the
wide fields, bounded by the distant
timber lands that hid gloomy bottoms,
at the great log barns in the hollow to
his right; at the hubble of white
washed cabins beyond; then with his
big fist he reached in and pounded on
the door The blows echoed loudly
through the silent house, and an In
slant later Fentress' tall, spare figure
was seen advancing from the far end
of the hall.

There need be no guess work about

you wish to set your dough at 80 de-
grees F. by the thermometer. You
ascertain the temperature OF the
room, then place the thermometer In
the flour you are to use for minute

suppose your kitchen Is 70 degrees F.
and your -four 70 degrees. Now, how
hot should the added water and milk
be to bring the dough up to 80 de-
grees? Multiply 80 by three and that
gives you 27o degree. Add the flour
and room temperature together and
you get 14o. You heat your liquid to
100 degrees by the thermometer and
test your dough and you will find 1t is

the redressing is to choose suitable

A successful room can be obtained
with one of the cretonnes or chintzes
in oriental patterns. and the furniture
or bibelots in the Chinese taste, which
is now so much to the fore, accord
well with such designs. An excellent
result is obtained if panels of the

need not have been distressed on that
