KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESH
Water Must Be Changed Frequently
and the Blossoms Should Be
Sprinkled Every Hour.

Almost the first thought that fol-
lows admiration for a freshly picked
bouquet is how it can be preserved
the greatest length of time? Many
experiments have been undertaken to
prevent flowers from fading-such as
placing salt in the water, or nipping
them off and applying sealing wax.
We have tried all methods. and have
come to the conclusion that changing
water in which the stems are plunged
frequently and sprinkling the flowers
hourly, will keep them fresh and fair
longer than will other treatment.
The water used should be tepid
The cooler the temperature Of the
apartment the better. Never leave
flowers under gas jet, or they will

SUES, GOES HUNTING
Wife Of Real Estate Man Says
Husband Nagged.
Mrs. c. 3. cerhsrt OF St. Louis Files
Petition for Divorce, and Then
Starts for Lodge In Ozark
Mountains.

St. Louis, Mo.--Mrs. Julia M. Ger
bart, following her suit for divorce
against Charles d. Gerhart, wealthy
real estate operator, was said to have
gone TO a hunting lodge in the
Dzarks. She is an enthusiastic hun
tress and sportswoman, and In this
respect she and her husband we're
most congenial, as he is fond Of horses.
dogs. and outdoor sports.
That, in other respects, they were
not so congenial is indicated by the
nagged her, made contemptuous ac-
cusations against her, and that he ex-
pressed preference for other women
and told her he would act so as to give
her ground for divorce.
The husband. is vice-president OF
the FIJI. and c. B. Gerhart Realty COM
pany. of which his brother, Frank,
noted for his part in the free bridge
campaigns, is president
That the Gerharts we're living apart
became generally known in July, when
il was learned that Mrs. Gerhart was
occupying the magnificent Gerhart
home, 44S4 Forest Park boulevard, and
that her husband was living at down
town hotel.
At that time Gerhart employed At
torney Is. H. Charles to look after his
affairs with view to a possible suit
by his wife. Her attorneys are Bates,
Blodgett, Williams & Davis.
In her petition the wife names April
% last as the time when Gerhart left
home. She says he notified merchants
that he would not pay her bills, and
that 1t thus became necessary for her
to pawn jewelry to get needed arti-
cles.
She states that her husbands income
is $4,000 year, but makes no speci-
fic request for alimony. She states that
since leaving the house he has given
her only $50 for her support, and has
threatened to have the water, gas and
electric current shut off.
Last June, when Mrs. Gerhart re-
ported the theft of jewelry from the
home, she told the police that man
had called at the house and presented
what purported to be a request from
Gerhart for his clothing, and that in
this way the man had obtained en-
trance. This gave the first confirma-
Hon of the reports of their separation.
