HOW TO USE FLOWERS
STUDY OF PLANT HABITS AND
GROWTH ESSENTIAL.
Keynote of an Artistic Floral Decora-
tIon Now Is lrreeuIarity and the
Surface Space Must Be
Well Balanced.

Tho woman who essays to employ
flowers for decorative purposes should
delve deeply into the study OF plant
life to become familiar with their hab-
It's and growth.
Flowers of stiff, upright growth do
not lend themselves readily for deco
ration. When they are used, their nat
ural tendencies must be humored. If
the effect is at all artistic.
The erstwhile popular custom of
banking cut flowers or growing plants
and festooning with heavy ropes OF
svergreens no longer obtains.
The more artistic and natural,
loose, graceful arrangement of flowers
and plants is now used, and bare
stretches of wall are bridgad over
with delicate trailing vines, supple
mented by generous sprays and
branches of foliage.
Receptacles for cut flowers should
be neutral in color, and in shape fol-
low the main lines of the flower.
The keynote of an artistic floral dec
grafton is irregularity There must be
no geometric arrangement to tire the
eye; no repeats to pail the senses. In
stead, each portion of the decorative
scheme must have distinctive charm
of it's own.
Surface space must be we'll bal
anced. There must be no overcrowd-
ing at one point and bare stretches at
another
Flowers employed for decorating
should be seasonable. The flower that
In midsummer would compel admira-
ton for its appropriateness as we'll as
beauty would be wholly out of place
in midwinter decorative scheme. Nor
must blooming plants or cut flowers
and evergreens be combined in a dec
orative scheme.
The most artistic effect is produced
by employing flowers of one color,
with the setting of green that nature
uses in all her color schemes.
Two colors may be combined, some
times, with pleasing effect, provided
they blend naturally or form a har.
monious contrast.
When a number of rooms in a house
are to be decorated for some such an
occasion as reception or similar func-
ton, the treatment depends upon the
arrangement of the rooms.
When they may be thrown together.
as may be done in modern houses of
any pretensions, the same scheme

Is not the case an individual scheme
may prevail, if desirable, In each
room.

Something to Be Thankful For.

Michael Meehan was the proud pos
SCISSOR of a brand new silk high hat.
At the wake of his dearest enemy he
had guarded it carefully, and as
consequence was strolling home with
the tile unscathed. AS he passed the
site of a building operation. lady
acquaintance nodded pleasantly.
With an ostentatious wave of the
hat, which exhibited 1t to excellent ad-
vantage, Michael bowed. At the same
moment brick sailed down from an
upper floor and bounced from his
barred skull. Upon coming to he in
quired anxiously for the hat. A by-I
stander restored it unframed Mikel

occasioned by the impact of the brick.

tile. "Begorry." he sighed in salts

A GOOD BREAKFAST.
Some Persons Never Know What II

A good breakfast, a good appetite
and good digestion mean everything
to the man, woman or child who has
anything to do, and wants to get q
good start toward doing it.
A Mo. man tells of his wife's "goot
breakfast and also supper, made GU
of Grape-Nuts and cream. He says

Lace Combinations.

AS for cravats and jabots and col
lars carried out in muslin and lawn
and chiffon and lace, their forms and
variety are endless, while their prices
vary from a half to several dollars.
Real lace, of course, is the ideal trim
ming for these trifles, and can be dis
posed of in endless ways on them, so
that stored up oddments can all be
utilized. Several sorts of lace can
also be used together, fashionable
notion being to have flowing 1abot
of shadow or cobweb or malines lace
edged with Irish crochet, or crochet
with fine malines. valenciennes edged
with Buckingham, and so forth.

The luge Granny muff made OF
gathered and corded silk, velvet, bro.
cade or chiffon is very fashionable
this season. 1t is besides quite sim
pie to make, and looks much more
chic than muff of poor imitation fur.
Blue and red shot taffetas is used for
pretty model. Two thicknesses of
wadding form the lining on to which
the silk is gathered and divided into
sections with piping cords. Wide
frills of the silk finish off the muf,
on either side.

Revival of Braid.

The revival of braid in various
widths and makes as a trimming is
very welcome; it is difficult other
wise to find variety for the finish of
the many fabrics which are in vogue
for tailor-suits. Rateen, of course,
is in itself such lovely material that
1t practically needs no trimming. but
a little woodwork in Oriental color

The Murphy Ordinance.

R. F. Murphy's action in introduce
ing into the city an ordinance which
provides for an increase in the liquor
license fee of from $500 to $500
must meet with the commentator OF
every person interested in seeing bet
ter saloon conditions in this city.
The action of the council in deciding
that the number OF saloons shall be
limited to seventeen is equally merl-
tOrious.
With the higher license goes the
reduction in the number of saloons.
With fewer saloons, the men control
ing them will be able to make a decent
living within the law and the neces-
sity of reaching beyond the strict in
depreciation of the law will be avoid
ed.
Full credit should be given the al
dermen for this movement and those
who believe in it should freely express
themselves to their representatives

I wish to tell you the good results

years ago I had a severe attack of
La Grippe and was confined to my
bed about eight weeks under the doc
tors care. He pronounced by case
kidney trouble and rheumatism and
not receiving the results from the
doctors treatment I should have re-
ceived, l decided to try Swamp-Root.
After taking several bottles of Swamp
Root l was able to get up and attend
to my work. About a year later my
husband was affected with a severe
attack of kidney trouble and doctored
for some time with the doctors and
received no benefit. Knowing Of the
good l had received, he decided to try
Swamp-Root. His condition was such
that he was confined to his bed and
words cannot tell how he suffered,
but after taking Swamp-Root he was
relieved so he could go on with his
work without pain. | wish to hearth

The Nelson Bill.

The only real objection that has
been voiced against the Nelson bill
is the fact that the bill would cut the
number of saloons to the required
limit by forcing city councils not to
renew licenses as fast as they expired.
Thus no opportunity was given for
the wedding out of the worst saloons
but the last eleven licenses granted
would be the ones to stand.
The senate temperance committee
has seen this objection and has draft
ed substitute bill which provides
for a gradual reductions of the num-
Der of saloons until the limit Of one
to 500 is reached. This substitute
bill will be drafted by sub commit
tee and will be reported out in a few
days.

The Band Concert.

About two hundred people last
night attended one OF the best band
concerts ever given in the city of Be-
midi. So crowded was the city hall
that many were forced to stand dur
ing the concert. 1t was the largest
audience that ever attended an indoor
band concert in Bemidji.
C. J. Woodmansee sang The Pirate
Chief" and was so we'll encored that
he responded with a love ballad. Mr..
Woodmansee was accompanied by Di-
rector Remfrey and appeared in ex-
cellent voice. Miss Vera Backus read
"A Scene in a North England Rail-
way Station and her representations
of the different characters involved
drew burst of applause as she fin
ished. She responded with the ex-
periences OF father and three year
old son at 2 a. m.

this is the first time that a winter
concert has ever received more than

Watch the Mississippi.

Flood warnings have been sent to-
the lower Mississippi regions. With
the giant wall of water pouring into
the great river from the swollen
streams of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Pennsylvania and Missouri, there
may come a flood worse than that
which broke the levees last spring.
At Cincinnati the Ohio is sixty feet
high, the Wabash river and other
streams in Indiana have oyerdoWed
and are higher than ever before in
their history, and the streams coming
through Missouri are equally high.
The lower Mississippi valley will be
indeed fortunate if this immense
amount Of water is carried to the
ocean without the breaking of the
great leyees.
The late spring in the north coun-
