A party of young people were discussing
tho "debutante SLOUGH" and one young
man declared that II gave to some girls
an air of distinction and enhanced their
beauty tenfold On his being questioned
whether these same young women would
lose their charm f they walked upright,
with heads and chests up, he promptly
responded that they would; that the
SLOUGH" was In great measure respon-
sible for their attractiveness.
Almost all present agreed that the new
mode OF walking gave TO those foTtunates
who could get away with it, an ire
sistible charm.

There are three golden rules that every

TO PROLONG LIFE OF PLANTS
Necessity for Those Kept fer
Indoor Adornment.

Many persons are unsuccessful with
house plants because they do not give
them enough fresh air. The atmos
phere Of the ordinary living room Is
both too dry and too warm for the av
eragc potted plant, and the room is
the cold months that the air is seldom
pure.
Plants of all sorts. whether they are
raised indoors or outside. must have
an abundance of fresh air. Two or
three times Il day open some Of the
windows and allow new air to enter
the room. Lower one or two windows
an inch Or more every day when the
outside temperature is not very low
On all mild days in winter throw open
all Of the doors and windows. You
will be surprised at the difference it
will make in the vigor, color and
growth Of the plants when they &c
have all the good air they need. Good
air. good light, good soil and plenty OF
moisture are the living requirements
Of all plants.
Keep a box Of rich earth in the
house for reporting plants during the
winter. Fresh earth added is always
beneficial to plant life. When pre-
pairing, heat the earth to Eill worms.
If you want sturdy house plants give
them plant food. A~mmouiated bone
meal is a good fertilizer for house
plants. Beware Of the fancy jardi-
Mere. 1t is responsible for many de
cayed roots. All plants with shiny
surfaces a be washed with soapsuds
containing a little olive oil.
Instead OF carrying potted ferns
through winter after winter. SO that
they get o out, give them an oc-
caSIonal rest. Cut them down close
and you will be surprised TO see how
they will reward .Cu in the spring by
l"afng out with renewed vigor.
To keep a rubber plant in condition
i must have plenty OF earth. plenty CT
water and a shower bath once a week.
When it has dried. after the bath, wipe
the leaves and sponge them with milk.
