By this method of culture the phlox
becomes an exceptional flower when
compared with the big clumps that
most people alloy to grow. To get
best results they should be planted
new each fall or spring and give plenty
OF water while in bloom.
When big masses of plants are de-
sired. about one-third of the stems
should be pinched back. This will
produce a much longer season of
blooming.

If possible, set the box where it will
have bottom heat for three or four
days, and be sure to keep moist,
when, if your seeds were fresh. you
will find the rows all cracked open and
the green seed leaves peeking out.
Remove cover and take away from
heat Immediately. Place in a strong
light.
These directions you will find ap-
plicable to all small seeds, vegetable
as well as flower. Never forget to wa.
ter, however, and keep covered with
cloth until removed to the window.
Do not let them grow long stems.
Spindling seedlings are a calamity.

a wonderful root development, which

Modes In Hair DRESSING.

The modes in hairdressing change
quite as much as the modes in mil
linery or clothes. Indeed we have to
keep modifying our couture to suit the
everchanging hat shapes. When the
crowns are high we must needs wear
our knots on top of our heads to fill
in the high crowns. When the fat
crowned shape prevails it means that
the hair must be slowed away around
the nape of the neck somewhere.
But though hair style changes fire.
quently. this does not mean that we
must follow them blindly and obedi-
emily regardless Of how they appear
on us. There is nothing which so
transfigures a girls face as the right
kind of couture.
