Care of Parcel Post Plants

When plants are sent from the
florist by mail or express it is not
advisable to pot them as soon as
they are unpacked. Sometimes when
they have been several days on the
way the soil about their roots will
have dried out so much that as soon
as the moss or paper in which they
ares wrapped is taken off it will
orumble away, leaving the roots bare.
To prevent this unite the wrappings
of the plant carefully, but do not re-
move them, Spread the plants out
upon the flower and shower them well.
Then cover their roots with a thick
cloth and pour on enough water to
thoroughly saturate. the earth about
them. Leave the plants for four or
five hours before potting them. If
this plan is followed it is possible to
get them into their new pots without
serious disturbance of their roots
After potting put them in a shady
place and water we'll. Shower them
twice day for a week and give
them plenty oof resh air, but do not
expose them to hot or drying winds.

My Dear Eleanor:
[ see you are disturbed because
your husband takes to the ballroom
as if it were his native heath. Who
reused him, my dear. to the dancing
point? Left to himself, it is doubtful
If he would have cared much about
it. Richard simply fell in with your
suggestion.
From money viewpoint, l do not
see, Eleanor: how your home and
dances are going to be kept up at
the same time. Your parents made
your own social chance. and Rich
ards did the same for him; but the
situation is changed Yet, | Under
stand that the cost which most con-
Germs you is not measured in dollars
and cents, although that was what
first struck me-
I do not need to be told to realize
that Mrs. Fitzgerald, or her double,
is your bugaboo. You know she al
ways admired Richard, that her hus-
band leaves her with time and money
on her hands, bad thing all round;
that she is coquettish, not to say
and invited. to the places
and festivities she is because upheld
by her husbands position. She is
not wicked, exactly, but she brings
unrest to every married woman with
in her range and makes every en-
gagged girl fret. In your case should
not throw my husband in her way,

Some Good Recipes with the Banana.

Some Good Recipes with the Banana.
Bananas have made their way
struggling hard many times for a
place on the bill Of fare in the home.
Many authorities, however, give to
the banana much importance in food
value when used very ripe, not soft
but when the skin is Of a rich yellow
and brown notified appearance, and
no green in sight, not even at the
tips. For children in particular the
digestion is FASTENED by cooking, but
if perfectly ripe are good food for
them not cooked. The Improvements
in cultivation also are an inducement
for their use. as the quality and
means of transportation grows bet
ter each year. There are two special
kinds. the red and white, the former
being very fine in flavor, but are not
so plentiful as the white or yellow
ones.
They may be used in variety of

"Huck' Towels

"Huckaback" toweling is most in
demand. yet very few know why it
is thus called. 1t is so named from
the weave. which throws up a little
knot, or huck, in both wrap and
woof. making slightly roughened
surface, which is very much liked for
absorbing moisture, says the Com
moner The "bird's-eye' toweling is
delightfully."- smooth and absorbent,
end is much glossier and finer than
the huckaback. II one has time and
inclination, the toweling may be pur-
chased by the yard and the hemming
and marking done at home, giving
them Individuality but nothing is
saved. Twenty-four inches by forty
two inches is the size most liked, or
22x40. as one prefers. This for the
family use. while the guest towel may
be 15x24 inches, as it can be Used
once or twice, then thrown into the
laundry bag.

They have left the company indef1-
nitely.
Two years is considered the cor-
rect period of mourning for a parent.
After the first year it may be light
ened, showing touches OF white and
lavender. That is what "custom"
says. But this is what | say: The
wearing of mourning should depend
absolutely upon the mental attitude
of the bereaved one. Personal feel
ing. circumstances and individual
feeling should be considered. If you
want to wear white and violet by
all means do so. The affection you
have for your fathers memory will
in no way be lessened.

RIGHT SIDE OF MATERIAL.

1t is often difficult to tell which is
the RIGHT side of huckaback toweling.
A clerk in a. linen counter gave me a
sure rule for instantly deciding, writes
a contributor in Good Housekeeping.
If one draws the linen between
thumb and finger one side Of the
goods is distinctly rougher than the
other. The rough feeling side is the
right side, ] impaired this secret at
a little sewing bee one afternoon,
where five or six ladies were making
towels. All agreed that they had
often spent great deal of time try
ing to decide which was the right side
of the huckaback, and several of those
working on towels that day found
that their decision had been wrong.

A Difficult Stain

! beg TO ask your advice In the fol-
lowing case: have a nile green MESA :
line dress BY accident some lemonade
was split on the dress, leaving a spot
about the size Of half dollar. l have
tried to take It out with gasoline and
have also tried ether, but neither
avalled I have written to you before
about this and have come back again to
see IL you can tell me something else
TO do. The dress does not warrant tax
ing 1t to a professional cleaner. l just
want to use 1t as an underslip for n
pink chiffon dress, and when standing In
a certain light the spot shows.
Also do you think a pale yellow slip
would go well under a pink chiffon slip (
/ am rather undecided as to whether the
colors would clash. x. q.
Try pouring boiling water on the
stain from a tea kettle held high, so
that the stream will strike the spot
with force. Get some one to hold the
stained portion over a bowl so that
the water will run through the spot
This sometimes proves effective when
nothing else will There is a chance
that large ring will be left, but this
will not be as conspicuous as the
lemonade stain.
The yellow slip would look very eff
fective under the pink chiffon. The
pastel shades always blend prettily.

Dear Miss Doom:
How may ! get rid of freckles?

freckles become visible. Also how may |
thicken my eyebrows. II. D.
Constant use of buttermilk as
wash is recommended for freckles. 1t
is softening and bleaching, Fresh
horseradish grated adds potency to
the application. A tablespoonful 9f
the root is put into half a pint of the
milk, the two covered, to stand for
twelve hours. After, that it is
strained and put on as q bleach, to
dry on. Another simple bleach is
made of two ounces of Tactic acid,
one ounce of glycerne and half an
ounce of rose water. Should 1t irri-
tate the skin dilute by adding more
glycerine. or apply cold cream after,
using. Lemon juice is effective on
some skins.

you, AZALEA.
If the bulbs are in flower the only
thing to do is to dry the bulbs, then
plant them out of doors in the fall.
They will come up in the spring. The
azalea should be placed in a larger
pot when the weather gets warmer
and, placed in the ground in a shady
