PLANTS FOR AoUARIUMS
Flowers That Flourish in Water and
Are Good for the Fish.

Water plants, growing In or on or from
water, are quite as attractive in their
way as their earth-grown rivals or the
exotics Of the air.
One of the prettiest of the floating
aquatics is the water hyacinth. so called
because 1t flowers, and the blossoms. Of a
delicate lilac pink, grow In trusses like
those of the real hyacinth.
There is the parrots feathers, n plant
with long trailing stems and exquisite
foliage that suggests the plumage Of a
bird. It is as delicate as the cypress vine
in appearance. but It is quite hardy and
will trail beautifully from hanging bas-
ket or flourish perfectly in an aquarium.
There are water plants as green and
beautiful as the most delicate ferns and
others that are colored like the leaves of
plants used for borders of flower beds.
They all generate oxygen and certain
number of them must be placed In every
aquarium. at least one to every two
gallons of water, or the fish will not
thrive.
1t is fascinating to watch them grow,
especially so through the glass of an
aquarium. This is not an expensive
possession: twenty-five cents will buy one
of the smallest. Fifteen cents will buy
a water plant and the fish cost accord
ing to their rarity.

plants will furnish amusement by the

EARLY ENGAGEMENTS
OF DOUBTFUL POLICY
Girl Just Out Of School Not Capable
of Forming Proper Estimate.

. The folloi1inD is tp,itten IN dnsiuer to
the query OF ~. +. w. Diamond street:
Much controversy and contention hava
ever surrounded that all-absorbing topic,
the expediency or inexpediency of the
early engagement. On such point, no
definite criterion OF action can be given,
no standard taken.
The workings of the human mind and
heart are so diverse, particularly among
the feminine portion OF the world, that it
Is hard to lay down any general rule at
all. Each to her own taste. and in the
matters Of the heart the course of true
love never did run smooth helped by the
timely warnings of the wise!
On the subject of the early engagement
much has been written and much more
been said. Some people advocate it as
the finest policy, while large group of
thinkers censure It. It's inexpedlency Isl
often shown in most unhappy homes and
marriages.

The years that Ne between tho ages Of

FROM THE PAST
Old-fashioned Gowns Give
Wearers an Unreal Look,
More Appropriate to Foot
lights Than Street.

That all the worlds a stage has been
said too many times, perhaps, but GER
tainly the clothes that are in fashion at
present have a theatrical air. They are
so obviously a renaissance of. old styles
that the people wearing them have an
unreal look, as II footlights and a drop
curtain would give them their proper set
ting,
There is an unsophisticated look to
many Of the modern frocks, a quaint air
that gives them an artificial appearance
in goth century surroundings.
But, according to the DEGREES OF fashion,
these styles are right. fitting and proper,
and their vogue is carrying them into
costumes for all the changes of the day.
Morning. afternoon and often evening
frocks. as we'll, go back decades or even
centuries for the model after which they
were designed.
The frock OF the illustration has an
old-fashioned quality simplicity that
tends rather towards making IL conspicu-
GUS than the reverse, as one would sup
pose
It is made Of crepe de chine, n silk
that only increases in popularity as time
goes on. IT Ia a material that will lend
itself well, not only to the funess of
the skirt. but also to the deep tucks,
which are a feature of both skirt and
basque.
The tucks at the bottom OF the skirt
are graduated in depth. the widest at the
foot. with each one growing narrower
as they ascend.
In the basque the tucks are all of the
same width and constitute its only trim
ming. II Is fastened severely with small
buttons covered with the crepe de chine.
The collar and cuffs are white and
quite plain, without either hemstitchinS
or embroidery. The severity of the cut.
however, is lost in the material used, for
It is sheerest organde and gains In soft
ness by the fact that It Is doubled.
The gown shown today is esse ntielly a
house gown not appropriate and not In
tended for dress occasions.
It would make an addition to the ward
robe that would be servlceable and yet
have the caclet of style.
To follow fashion blindly Is no doubt

One OF the amazing or amusing things
connected with fashion Is the undeniable
fact that the fad of the moment is the
thing that seems most becoming, and one
wonders how II was ever possible to wear
