Orchids Easy to Grow.

There is an idea that only the rich
can afford orchids. That Is a mis-
take. A well-shaped, thrifty orchid
plant in bloom may be had for about
So. Its blossoms will last longer than
those on a 500 azalea, and when they
are gone the plant will be in better
condition than the azalea. Df course,
for the owner of a small greenhouse
or sunny window the varieties Of
orchids she can grow to advantage are
comparatively limited, though such
list Is the popular lady slipper, which
does well in sunny window or
greenhouse. The Cologne cristata
Is rated among orchid growers as the
best white variety, each blossom being
four or five inches across. 1t can
stand a temperature of 40 degrees, and
is one OF the best and easiest grown
OF orchids. Good Towering plants of
this variety are not costly, and after
the blossoms are gone a plant can
be kept in a house window. where
1t will thrive and be ready to produce
an increased number of flowers next
season 1These blossoms will last, cut
or uncut. at least two weeks There
are many other varieties equally de-
sirable for window culture which any
good dealer will point out to a pur-
chaser for the asking.
Potting is really the only unique
feature in orchid culture. Aside from
this orchids should be treated about
as other window plants are. The
standard potting materials are peat
and moss. which hold the necessary
moisture for the proper length OF
time. Baskets or some other open re-
ceptacles are always used, because It
Is necessary to admit plenty of air
to the roots. That is orchid culture
In nutshell. so you can see that
there is nothing too dinacult for the
window gardener.

Mexican Pottery.

Almost every one of the tourists
who visit Mexico during the Winter
season carries away some specimen
of modern Mexican pottery, be it the
gray, blue, and red Guadalaffiara, the
green-glaze of Oaxaca, the terra Gotta
inlaid with chips of broken china
ware from Cuernacava, or the blue
and white pottery Of Puebla, often
called for purposes of sale "Talavera"
This particular pottery is in itself
very attractive. the characteristic
type being that Of grayish-white
ground partially covered with pat
tern usually Of deep Delft blue with
which browns and yellows are some
times sparingly used in combination
The patterns are generally heraldic
and almost invariably crude and med
iaeval in design.

daughter of Sir James Matthew Bar
rie, England's richest playwright. Sh,
is also an actress of universally recog,
nized charm and talent. 1t might be
added that she once gained fame cher

Pajama Grip in the United States.
Polly's worry arises from the fact
that Barrie is in love with Lady
Scott, widow of England's Antarctic
hero, sculptress, woman of stern
idealism. He wants to marry Lady
Scott. But Lady Scott will wed him
on only one condition-so it is said
and that is that Polly step down ana
out of the family for good and all.
Polly isn't willing to efface herself,
even to please Barrie and Lady Scott.
She would like to please them very
much, but-well, at present she is
about the only heir Barrie has, and
his fortune is now estimated at
$2,5OO,OOO.
The first Mrs. Barrie, from whom
the playwright obtained a divorce

the first production of "Peter Pan"
1t was then that she pleased Barrie
so much. In the next production OF

and made great success. She proved
that she possessed talent of a serious
order. Probably this explains why
Barrie wanted her as his daughter.
But Lady Scott, who lives in a
puritanic atmosphere, doesn't like
Polly bit. Besides, there are some

ENTHUSIASTICALLY THE assissina.
tion of Archduke Francis Ferdinand
throws all the burdens of government
on the shoulders of the aged Emperor
Francis Joseph, now in his eighty
fourth year. The late archduke had
a tremendous strong personality and
welded powerful influence in every
department of political, naval ana
military affairs. His assistance light
ened to burdens of Francis Joseph,
who because of his advanced years is
unable to perform the many arduous
duties of his office.
Because of the extreme age of the
emperor, the political unrest in Aus
ria-Hungary and the apparent weak
ness of the present heir apparent,
Archduke Karl grave fears as to the
future of the dual monarchy are felt.
Thus the death of Francis Ferdinand
becomes an event of international i'm
portance. His killing is a distinct
menace to the peace of Europe, be-
cause it threaters a great power with
the chaos which might result from

more common among French navy

the prevalence Of this curse may ex-
plain the numerous disasters which

among Europeans in native regiments

There is nothing, apparently, which
could take the place of a single
sovereign-Emperor of Austria and
King of Hungary-in keeping intact
the most heterogeneous and unnatural
state in Europe. At least ten Ian
guages are spoken in the Austro-
Hungarian army. In numerous in
stances there is deep-seated hostility
between nationalities living side by
side in limited districts. The domi-
nant races in Austria and Hungary
are jealous, often unfriendly and
sometimes extremely antagonistic.
The whole empire-kingdom feels the
pressure of centrifugal forces tending
to shatter it to pieces. Its chief bond
of union has been a sovereign ac-
knowledged by the entire country.
