WINTER FLOWERS
BY. MRS. NIcCUNE.

PURCHASE some of the ready fer
- tilted carbonated cocoanut fibre
sold for this purpose and some
inexpensive bowls. Casseroles, honey
or cream jars CT brown pottery make
charming bowls for hyacinths or mar
cissi. An excellent bulb for winter
towering is the Roman hyacinth
These can be procured IN slightly
varying sizes, reliable bulbs costing
not more than 5 cents apiece.
When selecting bulbs more consfd-
Grafton need be given to weight,
plumpness and general appearance
of health than to actual size. Larger
bulbs can be obtained at a slightly
higher cost.
Moisten the fibre in which the bulbs
are to be planted. Pack enough in
each bowl to bring the bulbs up to the
level of its surface. Half a dozen
hyacinths will III large bowl and
three or four smaller one.
Pack the fibre tightly around and
between the bgibs. When they are
a dark airy closet. Once a week ex-
anime them carefully, and il the fibre
appears dry, water it thoroughly.
When the roots are formed and an
inch or two of growth shows above
the fibre, the bowls should be re-
moved from the darkness to the light.
A sunny window is the best position
for the bulbs. For those who have a
small greenhouse, a Sh If near the
glass produces the best results.
Under these conditions growth will
quickly result, and with it the demand
for plenty of water. As leaves and
stems Iengthen and the flower spikes
appear it is Locessary to support
them. Bamboo tips are best for this
purpose. Form a circle of these
around the bowl and tie a strand of
raffia about the top.
Where there are only one or two
bulbs to a bowl single stake in the
center answers the purpose. Tie the
flowers to this support with raffia.
AS the fowe.s continue 10 devotion
turn the bowls occasionally. The
light has tendency to draw them in
one direction.

ChILDPENS
PARTY
BY EDNA EGAN.

ENAVE you ever entertained the
II small friends of your young
daughter with an "Alice in Won
derland" party? Little ones re
prone to grow tired if not interested
every moment, so clever mother ar
ranged a party of this kind. and it
proved to be unusually successful.
Every child is familiar with Alice
il Wonderland" and Through the
m2tely acquainted with every charac-
ter met by Allie in her wanderings.
The invitations request each small
guest to come to Wonderland" with
Alice from 8 to 6, and to wear some
thing to represent character men
toned in the story. In one party of
this kind a small boy had miniature
saw tied to his blouse. He was the
Carpenter"
Another represented the Queen of
Hearts, another the Halter, another
the Hare and so on until nearly all
the Wonderland inhabitants were to-
gether. The children had great fun
guessing who was who"
When they grew tired of this they
were taken to another room. where
sheet was pinned to the wall with
large picture of the Cheshire cat
drawn in the center. This was minus
a tail, and the children were blind
folded and each given a tail to pin on
the cat. The one coming nearest was
presented with a copy of alice in
Wonderland"
After this game refreshments were
served. The White Rabbit appeared
il the center of the table, with
latch around his neck anG a small
pair of Lid gloves in his paw.
Flowers were strewn over the table
and hung in a shower from. the chan
delier. The candles had shades re-
fecting the likeness CT the grinnfng
Cheshire cat, and at each were COL
ored place cards decorated with a
damingo, frog, mouse, crab, owl
eaglet, Godo. snail. turtle and other
creatures met by Alice

HOW TO SLEEP

INABILITY to go to sleep is form
of nervousness which brings
about a train of evils nd is oi-s
of beauty's worst enemies.
You are no doubt aware it is dif-
ficult to obtain sleep after the brain
has been overworked or excited. This
is due to the fact that all mental ac-
tivity dilates the brain by filling II
with blood.
Thus it is obvious that to secure
sound sleep, perfect tranquility of
mind is necessary. 1t SHOULD be borne
in mind that sleep holds the next
place to food in the restoration of lost
nerve force.
In order to bring about the desired
condition for sleep variour methods
are employed. A very simple one.

tive. is, after one has. prepared for re-

OF 1913 it is quite within The bounds
of possibility to substitute soft. pref

The explanation of the modern wom-

allows the days to pass by without
giving her many muscles the outdoor
exercise they crave, and as conSe-
quence the body suffers.
Every woman is interested in keep
ing her waist supple, filling out her
chest and Strengthening her back; and
we'll she may be, as a pretty face

A good way of rounding out the en-
tire figure is to play at ball with one
