fact that plant started this season

Therefore, instead of letting the ge-

THE WINDOW GARDEN
BY EBEN E. RExFoRp,


1t may not seem reasonable to the
reader to treat of winter window gar
dens in midsummer, but careful con-
sideration of the subject from my
point of view will convince the flower
loving person, | feel quite sure, that
this article is timely"
Look over the window gardens of
your neighbors, in winter, when they
ought to be at their best to give the
fullest degree of satisfaction, and
think you will find the majority of
them far from satisfactory.
The plants will be small, much too
small to be ornamental; and if you
keep an eye on them throughout the
season you will find that few of them
reach the Towering stage before
March, which is to say that most
specimens in the ordinary house col
lection of plants give few or no flow
iers at the period when window gar
den should afford us the greatest
amount of pleasure.
What we aim at is flowers in winter
not in the spring, when the blossoms
of the outdoor garden are at hand.
Said woman to me, not long since:
Fl don't see why it is that can't have
flowers in the winter. Some of my
friends have, and they don't take half
as good care of their plants as / do.
Why, some of them don't repot their
plants at all, still l notice they have
flowers from them; and | go over all
my plants just before winter sets in,
and repot them and cut them back or
start new ones and take pains to give
them the best soil and am so careful
about watering, and fertilizing, and
airing, but most of them will not bios
som for me. They look healthy and
they grow well, but one doesn't care
fer just leaves.
Now, this woman's failure to obtain
flowers from her plants was explained
by three words she made use of-'just
before winter" The attention she
gave the plants at that period came
several months too late.
The fact is, as anyone will readily
see when they come to think the mat
ter over, plant cannot be satisfac-
torily developed in two or three
months. Not much can be expected
from plant that is not made ready
for winter until that season is about
upon US.
In order to secure a good collection
of good-sized plants for the winter,
one must begin to get ready during the
summer. By the term good-sized," l
do not mean large plants in the usual
sense of the word, but rather plants
of sufficient development to justify one
in expecting flowers from them for the
holidays.
Age is often a more important factor
in plant culture than mere size. Young
plants seldom bloom while develop
ment is taking place most rapidly
They must get their growth" so to
speak, before we can expect them to
bend their energies to the production
of flowers.
Therefore, | advise the owner of
collection of house plants from which
she wishes to secure flowers all

"Father of Modern Screw

Jesse Ramsden, an English inven-
tor, is credited with being the father
of the modern screw. He began in
1775 to pay especial attention to the
making of screws by machinery, and
his invention may be regarded as the
first example of the modern form of
screw-cutting lathe. although so years
before there had been made in France
a machine for cutting the thread on
the fusees of watches, and 200 years
before Jacob Bessoni had designed q
rude lathe for cutting wooden screws.

the face by pinning locks of it at eae1
side to form what are called water
waves" One way of doing this is to
dampen the hair and comb it back. A
band is then bound tightly about the
head and the hair pulled forward in
curves by means of the toilet comb
The waves are then pinned with small
wire pins in the position left by the
comb.
The back hair may be arranged in a
psyche knot, as shown in the picture,
or in three fiat coils across the back
OF the head. Or it may be worn in a
high coil at the top of the head. In
any case the band is not taken off
until the hairdress is finished.
Narrow velvet bands about the hair
are very fashionable, and they are
also very useful in holding the hair in
place.
