FLowERs IN THE HoME.

EVERY housewife likes to have her
house and table tastefully decorat-
ed with flowers, but when ones purse
Is slender or a florists shop is not
within reach the matter is hard to
solve. Yet with a small outlay and a
small amount of trouble it is possible
to have enough plants and flowers to
last through the winter.
Much can be done by the merest
amateur. provided care and attention
are given regularly. but the woman
who remembers on one day and for
gets on the next had better not at
tempt to grow anything. Bubous
plants are the easiest to handle, and
in addition the bulbs can be bought
cheaply.
Bulbs. too. have the great advantage
of being clean to keep in the house. nc

whole with water. Put away in 4

same height all the time then lriIg
them out and give them as much light
and air as possible. changing the va
ter every eight days by draining iton
and by replacing il with water OF he
same temperature. The question &
keeping the water at the same tenn
perature all the time is an important
one.
Artistic pots and vases matching the
color scheme to place the bulbs in add
much to their attractiveness. For in

ties OF hyacinth. white. blush purple
and pink being the most usual. but red
yellow. various shades OF blue and
varicolored ones are also to be had II
is easy to see that n the pots are
tastefully chosen a pretty and artistic
scheme can be evolved.
Bulbs started now will be at theii
best at Eastertide. which falls this
year on March %.

never wear a three ccrrered hat. for
an angular face and an angular hat do
not make for harmony.
Small hats are best on round faces
with small noses. They then give an
appearance OF pertness and sauciness
which is fascinating.
Short women should never wear very
large hats. These are for the tall wo-
men. who carry them to advantage. A
large. broad hat with nat trimming
is very graceful on a tall woman and
lends charm to her appearance, but the
high trimmings are for her shorter
