main standby of the window box gar
dener.
For windows that get an undue amount
OF sunshine, a different choice of flowers
Is necessary, and the following are this
names Of some of the most successful
ones.
Lobelias. sweet alyssum, verbenas and
heliotrope all do well in the sun. So do
single petunias Some of the more COM
plicated, double sorts are not SO hardy
under the suns burning heat. Phlox of
various sorts does well in the sun al
though tho roots must be kept protected
by mulch Of leaves or straw in very
hot weather
In a window that lacks sun a still diff
ferent choice of foyers must be planted
out sun. So can smilax of the garden
varieties. The vinca of the trailing vine
variety does well in a shady box. ST.
does moneyworth. So does German OF
''parlor" ivy. Then there are the many
varieties of shade-loving ferns. and the
in shady places. can be transplanted
safely to your window boxes. When
they fail to respond to your care, they
can be replaced by new ones. Then there
is the silvery. sturdy dusty miller"
For outstanding plants in the shady
box there are the various sorts of coleus
the brightly variegated leaves Of which
are always interesting. and there is
ragged sailor. and there is the spotted
leaf calla, and there are tho various
sorts Of dracaena, ornamental foliage
plants.
OF course a window box needs care.
1t must be kept slightly moist all the
time Many boxes fail of good results
because they are not kept wet enough.
But the water must not be allowed to
lie in puddles in the bottom Of the box.
The best way is to water the box
every day and on very hot days to
water it twice a day. in the early morn
ing and in the evening. Spray the flowers
and foliage daily with water.
Occasionally use some liquid fertilizer
on the plants. Bone meal in water is a
good choice. 1t must not be applied to
the foliage, hut must be poured on the
ground around the plants.
There Is an easier sort OF window box
that sometimes Is the best to handle.
That is the window box in which potted
plants are kept The pots can be covered
with moss.
The great advantage Of this sort of
box is that when ono plant fails to give
good results 1t can be removed to some
corner Of the garden to recuperate and
another potted plant can be put in its
place in the box.

The feature Of the new bags which
probably appeals most strongly to the
woman Of dainty tastes Is the lining.
For the light tan bags the lining is of
suede in exactly the same shade as the
polished leather on the outside. With
sole leather or alligator skin, calfskin

of all are the walrus bags. lined in quilt

Of sole leather may have tufted satin
lining in brilliant yellow. pale blue or

The picture hat is the bane of the young
woman invited to spend the week end in
the country. because she does not wish
to load herself down with hat boxes in
Vulnerable. To meet this need there has
been built what might be described as a
dress suit case with bulging sides. In
side it Is divided through the center by a
flap. on each side of which is cone Of
spiral wire. on which a picture hat can
be fastened with hat pins. II only one
hat is to be carried, the other side Of the
hat case will accommodate a couple Of
fresh shirt waists or the innumerable
small things for which there never seems
room in the steamer trunk. popular for
weekend or short stays in the country.

sion OF an emergency outfit, which will

there comes a pocket trinket in alumni

the top Of a rather large aluminium card
case. inset with an oval mirror. Touch a
spring and the lid lifts to show a collap-

On either side Of the mirror is q COM

When closed the case is not more than
half an inch thick, three inches wide and
less than five inches long.

Tiny alcohol lamps in tin. copper and
nickel are put up in compact cases for
travelling bags. and are ideal for the
woman who must have her cup of tea, at
home or abroad.
Another trinket will please the traveller
who Is always facing the vexed question
of carrying hair tonic. There is nothing
more trying than a Ieaky bottle in a
travelling bag. and no more trying ex-
perience than that of rubbing tonic into
the scalp when the train lurches merriiy
and scatters tonic in every direction. To
help out this traveller, there is tonic
comb worked with a suction bulb
1t looks like coarse, curved comb of
nickel. but each tooth is hollow and con-
nected with the rubber bulb in the
handle. The comb is run through the
hair, close to the scalp, and the bulb
pressed at intervals. sending the tonic
to the roots of the hair in fine spray
The bulb is filed by dipping the points
of the comb in bowl Of the tonic until
the former is full 1t is then packed in a
strong box, and cannot give forth any
tonic unless the bulb fs pressed. When
the bulb is charged its contents should
last for three-day journey.

to loiter over her toilet it will be when

traveller.
