4 GIRLS FLORAL ENTERPRISE

Because young girl who came to New York from Colorado several years ago had talent in making flower bas- kets, and the courage to work for a year at $8 a week, she is now owner of one of the largest flower shops in New York. At an exhibit her orig inal and beautifully designed baskets of floral decorations attracted the at tention of many visitors. Of course, the young woman had taste for beau tiful things before she ever came to New York; but she says hard work always has it's reward in flowers as in other things.
 She had made a study of Japanese baskets. That may account for some of the beauty she brings out in every thing she turns her hand to. She fills the baskets with an earthly moss, and sticks the stems of flowers in, then she covers the top with fresh green moss and the result is all that could be desired. The baskets are used extensively in house decorations for large receptions and the like, and the flowers stay fresh a remarkably long time.
 It is the best plan, she says, to buy ones flowers from greenhouse. Then the loss is mininized But she acknowledged with the air of one who tells a secret of state that florist usually charges enough for what he sells to cover all possible losses.-To- days Magazine

WHAT TO DO AND HOW
The Passing of the ParIor- -Liveable Rooms Take Its Place-Taste
 Ts Worth Money.

In ali the progress made in creating attractive homes, there is nothing that speaks more loudly of the broad ening mind than the complete banish- ment of that mournful Apartment once called .'The Parlor"
 Only. on state occasions was this room opened up for company The minister usually was the one ushered into its spick and span embrace, ire quently accruing thereby heavy cold It was never deemed necessary. to have fire in this best room except for the stranger. Too frequently the advent of the visitor followed so close Iy on the lighting of the fire, that the chill was not banished until after the guest had gone
 Then too, could anything be more absolutely unhomelike than the usual furnishing of this room. The plush chairs and sofas, which followed the era of horsehair. while little softer to the touch, were equally uncomfort- able in their. stiff backed upholstery.
 Books in fixed regular piles, show Ing conclusively that they were for ornament, and few narrowing fam fly portraits composed tshe principal decorations.
 The look of usableness which is the strong characteristic of the modern home was never seen in this room.
 Today fortunately we ..live'' in every room in the house. The Wisest and happiest home maker is the one that considers the1 bast{ things suited to the family's needs, and not Teserving spe- cial linens, china, or the@most conn EortabIe chairs and beds for the tram sient guest.
 The home that bids you welcome at once bys it's very air of constant use will be- the one where you would rather visit than the more exquisitely artistic one whose decorations have been furnished by the professional.
 So much a matter to be desired is this, that women are putting to money advantage. their ability to give a cosy look to newly sfurnislied rooms.
 The decorator who studies artistic color combinations, lights and shades in the. arrangement of rugs and tapes tries turns to these women who know how. to give that final touch, which they cannot achieve. Some of the palaces at Newport boast among the retinue of hireIings a woman whose only. serxices is to arrange flowers, to set -1amps,. books, and magazines at attP4ctiVg angfes,S who in other words knows how to do away with the set stiffness which destroys beauty no matter how expensive 1t may be.
 The final word which may prove in- terestinE Is that this ability to make @e&a&2 R hQne. Is one of the best
