The parson said grace, which was
not a short, familiar one, such as Is
commonly addressed to the Deity in
these unceremonious days, but long,
courtly, well worded one of the an

as If something was expected, when
suddenly the butler entered the hall
with some degree Of hustle. He was
attended by a servant on each side

SOME FLOWER HINTS

Brugmansia is a tender greenhouse
shrub, and if started out-of-doors in
the spring, must be potted before
frost. The flowers are beautiful-first
a pale cream, turning to a pure white.
They are trumpet-shaped and the
shrub is sometimes called Angels
Trumpet"
A spotted Gala is a summer bloom
er, and should be allowed to rest dur
ing the winter. 1t has wonderful vi
tally, and will keep well in almost any
place, if not frozen. In central and
southern states it is hardy out of doors.
Moss roses often fail to bloom for
years after being disturbed. The best
time for setting is when dormant in
the fall. Glory of Moss and Henry
Martin are among the best.
Souvenir de Bon is a most satisfac-
tory tub plant after it gets too large
for the window. 1t is an easy, quick
grower, with most beautiful leaves,
even if it did not bloom-which it
does.

considered hard to grow and flower,
suffer much from too kind treatment
when they should be left entirely
alone in a cool temperature.
In winter a daily Swinging of grow
ing plants is sufficient, and during the
hot months fresh water evaporated
several times a day makes a much
better moisture than that of stagnant
water.
AS a rule, orchids do better when
suspended, and apple wood with very
little or no moss at all is preferred
by the majority of growers. Often
strong roots, some of them n and a
half feet long, hang in punches far
below the blocks, and these roots
keep in healthy condition, while ported
plants show more or less decayed
roots in the pots or on the surface Of
the dressing.
About the beginning of the year
many orchids will show flower buds
all up the stems of last seasons
growth and can then be kept in a tenn
perature of 65 to rs degrees, when in
from 20 to 25 days they will be in a
blaze of flowers.
They should be kept growing slowly
till toward spring, and then plentiful
ly supplied with heat and moisture
till growths are finished and bulbs
firm. After that water should be
gradually withheld till they are stored
away to their needed rest.
While Towering, the plants should
be looked over every day to e that
they have proper drainage, and the
sphagnum that has become decayed
should be removed and fresh used in
reporting.
At this season they should be care
fully picked out and given a little
more elevation, warmth and light, care
being taken that they are not fully ex-
posed to the suns rays.
These little attentions are the
means of much success in the culti-
walton of the lovely odontoglots and
cattleyas and cypripediums.
And finally do not overpot; do not
let them get water-logged, Or very
dry; and keep them in a cool place,
out Of drafts. These rules followed,
every plant will repay the care given

The two childish and pretty models
in fall millinery for children, which
are pictured here, will make an in
slant appeal to good taste. They are
simple in construction, as they should
be. but are strictly in line with the
seasons style ideas.
The cap of fine corduroy, designed
for the little girl from threc to seven
years old, shows a novel management
of the crown in the square outlines
OF the drapery. 1t is simply a band
covered with corduroy which fits
about the head and supports a folded
width of the corduroy to form the
crown. The points at each side of
this piece are brought down to the
hand and fastened. At the right the
fastening is made under a cabochon
of silk cord, and at the left side a ca
bochon of the same sort supports a
handsome silk tassel.
Hats of this description are made
mn in corduroy of various colors,
brown being q great ~favorite, with
blue a close second. They are lined
with soft silk and it would be hard to
point out a fault in them when meas
ured by the requirements looked for

Every ~up-to-date girl is swathing her

Is too noisy in design or color for the
muf1er, which does not propose to be
overlooked.
There are many plain mufflers in
bright green, purple, lemon yellow,
cerise, rose color, fame color and any
other bright color that one may
choose. There are muflers with stripes
in contrasting color or white. running
crosswise or broad lengthwise stripes,
like that shown in the picture. And
there are some having dots and cir
cles over their surface.
Muf1ers are made of wool or silk,
and nothing could be more practical
for the cool days of autumn. They
are worn with street suits or with
sweaters now, and will reinforce the
heavier outer coats for midwinter.
For the autoist they are often made
with cap to match. Those in the plain
colors make fetching sets of this kind
and are worn, like the sport coats, for
all sorts of outdoor recreation. The
caps to match are either round with
a turned-back band about the face or
the Tam o'Shanter shape.

Knockers, instead of being close fitting

a divided skirt. The model is an ideal
one for morning play wear or for gem

a hat is shown at the right in which
the influence of high crowns makes
it's appearance. The frame is covered

bon with plaid border repeats the
colors used in velvet and satin and
introduces others in touches of gay

ORCHIDS IN THE HOUSE
BY FRANK n. (

EhRtNFN u
During my leisure hours in the
greenhouse I find no plants so inter
esting as the orc DIS. Each succeed
ing season is N ing this exquisite,
fantastic plant re popular with
commercial flor and private col
lectors who hav sonhouses of their
own.
The increasing demand for the cut
flowers and the fact that, in spite of
popular belief, orchids are easily
grown and very little trouble, are
sufficient inducements for many en-
%terprising growers to include them
among their plants.
But as yet the ordinary house grow
er has been unable to overcome her
fear of these beautiful, curious pro-
auctions of nature To her they are
something extremely delicate and fra
gile-something that an ordinary Whit
of air will shrivel and destroy. She
looks at them longingly on her rare
visits to the neighboring greenhouse,
but shakes her head when approached
ION the subject Of purchasing.
They are too tender, she declares,
with conclusive regret in her voice.
They would be out of place among
her window collection of sturdy car
nations and begonias and callas and
geraniums, and rarely do the persua-
sive arguments of the florist weaken
her deep-rooted belief.
However, there is now and then n
who yields to the fascination of an
exquisite dendeobium or odonto CLOS
sum, and bears the treasure home
with the shrinking conviction that It
will live under her care but a few
days.
Still even for those few days Of pos
session she is willing to pay the pur-
chase money, and she places the or
child among her plants and gloats over
it with the joy of an ignorant con-
noisseur-if the term may be used.
And it goes without saying that hav-
ing once begun she will not cease I'M
til Bhe discontinues growing plants.
But the days and the weeks and the
months go by, and the beautiful fan
tastic foreigner shows no disposition
to die, or even to languish
Long spikes of beautiful flowers,
wonderful flowers, creep down among
the geranium leaves, and other spikes
rest caressingly against the rich green
of the caIlas. Indeed so long as it is
plentifully supplied with water the lit
tie stranger is apparently well salts
fed with the surroundings.
It fills the room with fragrance, and
its curious, white, finger and toeliLe
roots cling tightly to the small board
home that hangs suspended above the
other plants.
But not all orchids are so COM
PLEASANT. Many will not thrive outside
of greenhouses, and many others
would best be left alone, even by for
lists.
However, among the hundreds of
varieties, there are plenty that will
accommodate themselves to their sur
r~oundings. 1 have had orchids that
were far less trouble than ordinary
bedding plants, and whose flowers
were exquisitely beautiful and fra
grant.
The great secret of their cultivation
is the resting. Many species that are

Africans Build a Church.

A wonderful object lesson in self

natives, under a native priest, built a
church, 300 of them walking "a miles

 James Cruze, who is playing the leading Masculine role in "Zudora '" will be shown in dual character, more powerful than that portrayed by Richard Mansfield in "Dr. Jekvl and MT. Hyde" Mr. Cruze will show a dual personality, from then on play ing the part of the hero and the part of the villain.
 The portrayal of the hero will be one of the most sensational things in motion pictures. In this part, he will eclipse his best as Jimmie Norton" In the Million Dollar Mystery
 The new sensations in "Zudora" will come with such startling rapidi- ty and such a multitude of thrills tha the public will be keyed to the highest pitch of expectancy.
