Window Boxes
Impart Beauty to the Dreary
Facade of City
Homes.

Nlrh the ehd OF 'he 0u'-Oi.'Own
wv season the interests OF the
city home involve the careful
consideration of the various aids for
making the winter home attractive.
Hardly any mon,y expenditure will
result in such homeikc effect as
a moderate amount spent upon judi
cious arrangement of window boxes
and receptacles for containing grow
! ing shrubbery. The varied foliage Of
living plants is particularly welcome
amid the somewhat dreary eXpanses Of
! long rows Of facades of city homes, and
New York, perhaps more than many
other cities, requires whatever variety
may thus be obtained.
Many wise owners Of city houses
have planted ivy. ampclopsis and other
| clinginR vines which thrive under
seemingly adverse conditions and
which clothc the brick or stone of the
street FACADE Of the house. Many such
examples of the use Of vines occur in
the newer residence quarters as veil
as in the older parts Of the city. But
the growth Of vines involves years of
waiting and the use of the windo" DO
offers an opportunity of securing sIcn
varieties and beauty without dclay.
Boxes Made Of Wood.
Window boxes are generally made
of wood, probably because where wood
is used il is quite easy to obtain boxes
for windows Of varying shapes and
sizes. Tho making of such boxes can
be done by any ordinary carpenter who
for small sum will provide boxes of
the same kind for all the windows of
the house. The boxes should then be
painted dark green or black and filled
with soil which is sufficiently fertile
TO give the plants whatever nourish-
mcnt is possible during the autumn
days.
Close to the edges Of the boxes
should he planted English ivy, which
may be allowed 10 droop over the
boxes or else be 50 arranged that the
ivy completely covers the woodwork
Of the boxes and IS held securely in
place by tiny tachs or metal staples
to prevent the vines being blown about
/ by the wind English ivy is one Of
: the hardest of plants and will retain
its rich dark green not only during
the days Of autumn but until far into
the winter.

For the more important windows Of
the house, particularly the windows
upon the lower floor. the boxes may be
planted with tiny cedarS or tlr trees and
be- given a most distinguished appear
arcc by using plants of slightly differ
cut heights. The larger Of the miniature

boxes and the smaller at the centre,
the plants being selected 50 that their
heights may form a graceful curve. Or

centre and the curved effect be re

may be trained or clipped into very at

Chinese Salad.
Chinese salad is rather unique. and
decorative as we'll. The ingredients are
not always easy TO get, for they belong
to markets peculiarly their own, but at
almost any Of the Chinese restaurants
may be bought enough of the water
chestnuts which are one of its chief at
fractions. Take head OF salad cabbage,
or Chinese cabbage, cut little Off
the stalk end, wash carefully, loosen,
but do not pull the leaves apart. Make
savory stuffing of pared and thinly
sliced water chc5tnuts, a strip Of red
pepper and two cucumber5 (small and
thin ones). chopped fine, and u teaspoon
ful Of grated English cheese. Bind to-
gether With a little nayonnaisc IN which
, the juice or an onion has been squeezed.
Fill the cabbage and slip rings of red
pepper over it, to come in the centre OF
each portion as it is cut through with
the salad fork. Extra mayonnsise may
be passed with the salad in the sauce
boat. The salad may be laid on q bed
OF dark green lettuce leaves or cress,
as It IL very white, crisp and tender
when chilled and is one Of the few
Carved" salads.
Cheese Rounds.
rather never way of serving cheese
is in the form of cheese rounds, and
these arc particularly good with the
Chinese salad. Cut out bread rounds
rather thin, toast ard butter them
lightly, then sprinkle with grated
cheese, pepper and salt Make cross

and just before serving put into the

To BE Seen from Within.

Very often window boxes are ar
ranged 70 be seen from within the
house rather than from without. Many
a window OF d city home presents a
view Of nothing more inspiring than
blank wall or perhaps Il vista into
dreary desert Of back yards. To rem
der such window more attractive, one
may adopt the use OF window box
covered with ivy and filled with some
Of the out-of door plants, placing
trellis Or panel of lattice work in front
Of the window and sufficiently far from
the building TO prevent the obscurins
Of the light. The ivy from the window
box may be trained over the trellis and
fastened into place and the outlook will
become attractive.
The boxes should be removed as soon
as the foliage has become withered and
brown. Their only purpose is to adorn,
and when they have accomplished their
work and have ceased to be attractive
they should be promptly removed.
Nothing gives city home an appear
ance so shabby and woe-begone as the
use Of window boxes, either during the
summer Or winter, when their beauty
has long since departed.

The 800 delegates badges which

late war news SUMMARY


Continued From First Page.
Russian advance guard are now In re-
treat.
Violent fighting has been resumed
within two hour motor ride of the
gates Of Paris. At Tracey-le-Val, where
the main battle line from the north
swings to the eastward at the point
nearest Paris, German advance led to
a violent encounter The Germans at
tempted to recapture the town, won by
the allies few days ago, but accord
ing to the French war Office statement
to-day they were repulsed with heavy
losses.
In Flanders the artillery duel, de-
scribed during the last few days as of
furious intensity, has become still more
violent, on the part of the Germans at
least, but here, as elsewhere, the op-
posing forces are holding fast to their
main positions
An official German communication
states that heavy fighting has been re-
sumed in the Argonne forest around
which some of the most severe encount-
ers of the war have ragged from time to
time during the last two months. A
heavy loss, it is said. was inflicted on
the enemy. In battle between two
sauadrpns of aeroplanes, it is said, one
airship of the allies and one Of the Ger
mans were lost.
Turkeys explanation of her act in
firing on the American flag at Smyrna
has not been submitted nor has the
Navy Department at Washington re-
ceived detailed report from Captain
Decker of the cruiser Tennessee, one of
whose launches was under fire. The
Washington authorities were confident,
however, that satisfactory amends
would be made by Turkey and that no
complications would result.
Austria is calling for more soldiers.
The older men of the Landsturm of
1870 to 1890 have been summoned to
the colors.
Austria apparently has the upper
hand in her war with Servia. Reports
from Vienna state that the pursuit of
the enemy is being carried further, and
that the Servian retreat at places is
attended with heavy losses. Unofficial
German advices stated that Russia had
sent troops to assist the Servians, but
the authenticity of this report was in
doubt since such a movement of forces
would involve long sea voyage around
the continent of Europe or the invasion
Of Bulgaria or Rumania, neutral coun-
tries.

The Bessemer mill of the local plant
of the Pennsylvania Steel Company re-
sumed operations this morning after an
idleness since September /. The prod

the scene of incessant military opera
tions, remains an island cut off from
the rest of Belgium through the blow
ing up of most of the bridges leading
thereto. Peasants are obliged 90 make
emergency bridges from planks and
crawl along on these to escape from
the danger zone. The Germans have
declared the territorv west of the rail
road running from Antwerp to Brus-
sells and thence to Mons an official war
area, where nobody, including even
Germans, is allowed to travel without
q special military passport.
Dixmudc Entirely Ruined
1t is difficult to obtain reliable news
of the situation in the war zone, as the
bedraggled men and women who man
age to escape are too miserable through
cold and hunger to give an account of
their experiences. Their only definite
recollection seems to be the continued
cannon fire and the endless professions
of wounded filing their villages.
1t was learned from some Of them
however, that Dixmude, the scene of
such severe fighting, is entirely ruined
Nieuport also suffered severely. In
Ypres the Cloth Hall. which was one
of the few ancient buildings saved
from the English siege in the year
1888, is severely damaged by shrapnc
fire.
In Termonde the Germans have or
dered the schools reopenod, but since
the 10000 inhabitants have been re-
duced to hundred there are no pupils
and, besides, as four-ffths of the town
is in ruins, there are no schools. The
bridges here are lightly guarded by
men of the Bavarian landwehr

From the entire province of Flan
ders, where the roads are full of aim
lessly drifting people, come creditable
reports Of ever-increasing suffering and
privation. Food is exceedingly scarce
and many persons are suffering from
hunger. The peasants are cutting
down the old line of trees at the coun-
try places for fuel.
Brussels is quiet. About one-third of
the population there is supported by
