In materials also the French cou-

has been proved by one who passed
her examinations and had made all
arrangements for her entrance when
sudden financial difficulty interfered

the highest education one can receive

II deprived Of college education, she

loss by putting into practice all that

education by keeping in touch with
the important educational and civic
questions of the day and making a
thorough study of any subject that
bears in any way on her chosen line

To Make Ferns 7.arfx,e

a PROPER understanding is the
- only secret of success with ferns,
according to an authority on the sub
"whens" and what to dos" there is
little chance OF successfully raising
any kind Of fern in the home. This
understanding is simple and is summed
up in these few words: Buy only from
a reliable florist, have the soil used in
repotting of the right kind. water
properly. use the right manure and
plant foods. learn about the effects Of
gas, the danger of frost. Of excessive
dry heat. overwatering and the repro
ducing OF new plants. .>..s-.
Watering is the most important part
in the care Of ferns and must not be
overlooked at any time. 1t is known
fact that nine out of ten people let
their ferns slowly die for want of wa
ter. The effect OF this dryness is de-
cidedly noticeable upon the foliage.
which turns a yelIowish brown. be-
ginning first on the tips OF the leaves
and later extending all along the stem.
So often we hear people telling one
another not to touch the fern leaves or
they will die. This is foolish idea.
This condition Is not the result of
handling, but OF the lack Of water or.
of very dry atmosphere in the home.
The proper way to water a fern is to
stand IL in dish Of water for half an
hour at a time. Let the water soak UP
through the jar. and then drain before

let fern stand in water day after day.
Such treatment will rot the roots OF.
causing the beautiful leaves to grow
very yellow.
There is no rule for watering plants.
bat with ferns twice a wee, is neces-
sary. and as much oftener as they re-
quire. In hot weather or in a home
where il is very warm the earth dries
out more quickly and the fern will
want frequent light waterings. A
glass Of water once or twice between
the soakings will carry most plants
along nicely. but nse your own judg-
ment and see to il that the soil Is al
ways more wet than damp, Never let

the radiator or stoTs. az II is great help
in supplying moisture to the air. This
and plants of all kinds. .
During the winter months, or while
the ferns are in the home. never use
any ground bone or manure. Odorless
plant foods are manufactured and are
beneficial IL properly used. Repotted
ferns do not require manure, and plant
foods of any kind must not be used.
Overlooking produces the same results
as overwhelming: the plant soon turns
yellow and dies. Yet any fern in good
condition that has not been trans
planted within q year can be fed to
advantage. 49,.

DANCING CAPS
ARE POPULAR

Dancing caps are ideal for wear with
summer dancing frocks, and nothing
could be more becoming and pictures
que than these airy little headdresses.
Close caps Of net witHropes Of pearls
encircling them are among the newest
designs.
The caps are sometimes made with
puffs of the net or tulle and the. ropes
of pearls are used to mark the division
between the puffs. White caps are
preferred, but there are also caps OF
delicate colors to match the gowns.
In spite of its great vogue during the
winter, the castle cap with its faring
wings is still very popular. Many girls
continue to wear caps In this design
because of the becomingness Of the
model Black mats trimmed with ropes
of jet are also very popular, not only
for wear with black and white frocks,
but even for use with colored frocks,
which may have some black trimming,
black tulle edges or black sash.
Girls who use jet earrings and grid
les of jet also sometimes use the Jet
trimmed black tulle caps to complete
the color scheme.
