while the board of pardons was ii

HERES THE TRICK THAT MEANS
SUCCESS WITH WINDOW GARDEN

There is only one excuse for no
being backyard gardener. That Is
1.-THE lack OF the backyard And ever
this does not excuse the householder
or flat dweller from doing a little
gardening. Not only will it be lots OF
fun but you can practice real inten-
sified farming.
Obtain boxes the size of your WIN
dows and try out the scheme. 1t will
be interesting to watch the develop
ment of the little radish and lettuce
plants. The experience the grower
gets will be quite useful when a place
with backyard or suburban home
is attained.
AS usually managed the window
box gardens, principally of flowers,
are failures. But it is just as easy
to grow the right kinds of plants in
a window box as in a garden, if
they receive the proper care.
Most people make the mistake of
giving them too little water forget
ting them. Water in sufficient guam
tity is the secret of window box gar
dening. Don't make a puddle of the
box, but keep it well moistened
Do not get the habit of applying
water in small quantities at frequent
intervals. Instead pour it on in
large quantity at once and at night
Use the best soil you can get; al
low about an inch of the box to rise
above the soil to retain the water un-
til 1t is absorbed
If it is flowers sou want and your
window is sunny plant geranjums.
petunias hellotrope, and other flow
ering plants of that class. For an
eastern window begonias. fuchsias,
pansies and Boston ferns will do well.

is difficult for one to resist.
Some beautiful pieces are of white
Jasper ware with gold ornamentation
such great care is exercised in the
process Of manufacturing that after
the first firing no one is allowed to
touch them with naked fingers. Even
the decorator uses white gloves to hold
them when ornamenting.
Vases In Etruscan and Grecian de-
sign are prominent in the Black Basalt
ware. which has the appearance Of fine
bronze. In this ware are also articles
'of utility, such as bowls, pin-trays,
lamps, etc. The White English china
fiowered wicker baskets are useful for
fruit, bon-bOns. cards and trinkets and
come In various sizes and shapes with
the handles and flowers artisticalIy
painted In bright tlnts. These articles
are made OF strands of plastic clay, the
strands being woven by hand in the
same manner the wicker baskets are
made.
A novelty seen In the shops is an
obiong basket fitted with handle and
an electric lamp with compartments at
each end for flowers. The lamp shade
Is lined with a color to harmonize with
the artificial blossoms.
Chinese lamps are more popular than

The Oriental rug is no longer re-

unequalled for its durability and color

rugs cheaper than few years ago. The
Khiya is an ideal rug for the library

q rich red, which adds a richness to
the furniture. Saruk rugs come as
large as 1890 feet and are used In
rooms requiring hard service.
The rugs of China and Thihet are
more sought after than ever and may
be purchased at nearly the same
amount as a good Persian or Turkish
rug. One Of the most valuable Chinese
rugs In the world is in the Morgan col
Election and cost $4,000. The Chinese

The modern Wilton rug is good sub

inclines toward the one color rug with

I Goats are usually made up . on
rough materials. Notwithstanding the
! warmth ana thickness Of these ma
terials, they are remarkably light in
| weight. Chinchilla, cheviot, boucle
cloth, zibeline, novelty woolens, heavy
lpile fabrics, veours, and imitation furs
are expected to hold full sway through
out the season.
There is no suggestion Of tightness
about the cloak. Though there is d.
versity in form and length, three-quar-
| Ter and seven-eighths are considered
best lengths for utility coats. The
lpractical outer garments have loose
Raglan, or kimono or deep set-in
sleeves with big cuffs and high adjust
able collars which may be closed tight
| at the neck or worn in soft roll.
The fronts are usually rounded and the
| fullness which is caught in with deep
band help preserve the straight figure
| line in most of the outer garments.
Large pockets and belts are seen on
| most of the models. The models seen
| this season may be termed "inspira-
| tions of newness." Though dark colors
prevail, the Innings are usually In vivid
colors.
Velvet, brocades, silks, and the many
fancy coats have chiffon covering the /
silk Innings. These chiffons designed I
with flowers add charm to the gar I
ment. Imagine an evening wrap lined

The discriminating woman who knows

joice at the immense assortment Of

best on limited income gives prime
consideration to the time and place
for wearing each gown and eliminates

color.

priately dressed makes ones spirit

Oriental and Bulgarian effects and
now we note tendency towards the
loyely Pompadour styles From what
source the modes of today are repro
duced 1t Is difficult to say, as thev
reach us in such modified form SO
as TO meet our Western needs. Many
OF the styles In vogue suggest the
costumes worn during the reign of
Louis XVI--the Niniche hats, outstapd.

The silhouette will remain about the
