INDOOR GARDENS.
You May Have Foliage In Your
Home All Winter.
HOW TO COMBINE PLANTS.

Experts Instruct Us That Flower Boxes
Must Have Good Drainage and HOUSE
Plants Be Watered Lightly and Free
quentIy Rather Than Heavily.
Prepared by department OF agriculture
A good depth for an indoor window
box is about eight inches. The bottom
Of the box should be covered with
stones and broken pottery for drain
age. This should be covered with a
layer Of moss to prevent the soil from
working down and cloggiNg the drain
age spaces. The drainage and moss
should take up together about two
inches. The greater the body or soil
above the moss the more uniformly
moist it may be kept. The soil should
fail to fill the box by from one and one
half to two inches.
The indoor window box should be as
long as the window is wide, and to get
as much light as possible 1t should be
level with the window sill. 1t may be
placed either on brackets, a table or
legs permanently fastened to it. A hole
or holes should be provided in the bot
tom of the box, and q drip pan should
be placed beneath to catch drainage
water.
The top of the soil should be allowed
to become dry occasionally. The re-
suits Of watering should be closely OBJ
served and the supply regulated ac-
cording to needs. In general it Is bet
ter TO water lightly and frequently
than heavily and infrequently, although
lust the reverse Is considered best
when watering is done out Of doors In
summer
ONLY plants Of the same general
character should be placed in window
boxes since plants OF different kinds
require different treatment. Begonias
are about the only plants that may be
expected to flower In a window box.
For the most part foliage alone must
be depended upon as the contribution
Of the indoor plants to the attractive
ness of the room. Among the plants
which may be grown for foliage for
window boxes are ferns, geraniums,
Kenilworth ivy, smilax and aspidistra
The latter plant is especially valuable
as a window box plant, as it will thrive
In spite Of considerable neglect, drought
and dust.
An advantage in growing plants In
pots instead of in boxes is that lar
ger variety can be grown since different
treatment may be given. In addition
to the plants already mentioned for
growing in window boxes, palms, rub
Der plants and cacti may be grown in
pots. 1t Is advisable in growing all
these plants to make use Of regular
florists potting soil, made up of one
part compost, one part good loan and
one part sand. 1t is well to add one
twentieth part bone meal to the mix
ture.

DRESS TRIMMINGS.
Style Tips About the
Very Latest Garnishings.

For those who may still be doubtful
regarding the fashionable dress trim
mings of the season a review will not
be amiss.
Among the most salient trimmings
is wool embroidery in separable motifs
or in bands. The richest oriental col
ors are used for the purpose, and In
some instances the wool is combined
with metal embroideries. Motifs In
silk combined with wool are also in
vogue. Such trimmings you can use
appropriately on odd shaped pockets,
on belts, on fat sashes, on corners OF
tunics and on the ever present bags.
Wool fringes in blue, gray and black
are in high favor. Beaded frtnges,
drops and tassels are very well liked.
On evening gowns beaded landings
are very modish. They are used as
garnitures, as straps for corsages, and
in some instances they are used to
give the effect of necklace. These
bands are particularly well liked in
jet, in crystal and in opal
Persian colorings prove an incentive
In the making Of bead medallions.
Combinations Of bead with chenille
are used on gowns for both afternoon
and evening. Chenille alone is also a
strong trimming and is used In all
sorts Of colors.
Never before have spangles been so
important. They are offered In in
finite variety and are used largely to
form the long wasted bodice, sugges-
tive Of the moyen age line.
Fur in larger quantities than ever is
a favored trimming. Mole and seal
are the favorites, but coney, skunk and
opossum are not far behind. Fur cloth
is also used a great deal and has
proved a very pleasing substitute for
the real fur.
Where laces are concerned silver,
gold and chantilly seem to be the ia
vored ones.

and Newport, had been offered the po-
sition Of mistress Of the robes to Queen
Mary, vacated by the Duchess Of Dew
onshire, consequent on the appoint
ment Of the duke to the governor gen.
eralship of Canada.
! The rules Of the court require that
the mistress Of the robes should not
be Of lower rank than duchess, and
this rule considerably limits the num-
Der of ladies to whom the premier po-
sition In Queen Mary's household could
be offered. But the rules also say she
must be an Englishwoman by birth,
so the Duchess of Roxburghe was
barred.
OF the duchesses the two who stand
most high in the regard Of Queen
Mary are the Duchess of Portland and
the Duchess Of Roxburghe. The Ouch
ess of Portland is mistress Of the
robes to Queen Alexandra, otherwise
it is more than possible that the posi-
ton would have been offered to her.
The Duchess Of Roxburghe's friend
ship with Queen Mary is not Of very
long standing. Her grace was, of
course, received at court after her
marriage, and afterward, with her hus-
band, was the guest on several occa-
sions of the late King Edward VII.
and Queen Alexandra.
The Duke Of Roxburghe is one Of the
best all around sportsmen in England.
He shoots, skates, rides to hounds and
has half a dozen other strenuous pas
times, in all of which he excels.
He took part in the South African
war and won much praise. During a
reconnaissance at RenSburg a private
lost his mount. The duke, realizing
the great danger the man was in, rode
out under a heavy fire and effected his
rescue, the private and peer riding into
safety on the same horse.
The duchess has wonderful collec-
ton Of turquoiSes, which has attracted
q great deal of interest in society. The
chief item i'm the collection is n large
ornament for the neck composed Of
hundreds of turquoises, all f1awlesS
and of great beauty and value. The
duchess had 4 hundred pieces Of jew
elry broken up to form this wonderful
thing.

WHEN YOU SERVE TEA.
Things to Do In Order to Be Really
Hospitable.

IhIn9s TO 10 IN Oroer TO Dc hediy
HospitabIe.
Remember to add as a finishing
touch to the tray or tea table vase
with a few flowers, a single rose.
three or four asters or yellow daffo-
dill or so placed in a bud vase or held
in place in a fat dish by a japanese
frog.
Always serve cream as well as lem
on. Many persons do not enjoy tea
without cream, and of course they will
not be so frank as to tell you SO when
they see that the tea tray is not sup
piled with any.
Serve the cut sugar In the small half
Jumps. For small cup of tea large
lump often proves too much, and it is
always awkward to have to break
a lump or to take a lump from the
cup when it is half dissolved.
Take pains to see that the teapot
and hot water jug are both well heat
ed before pouring in the boiling water.
BY doing so the temperature Of the
boiling water will not be reduced in
bringing the teapot ana jug 10 level.
Remember to carry the pot to the
boiling wafer and pour the water on
the teat leaves while the water is ac-
tually boiling. Many persons wrongly
feel that if the water has boiled it
matters little whether or not it is still
boiling when it is applied to the tea
leaves.
Always serve sandwiches or toast
in small portions. 1t is very awkward
for the tea drinkcr to have to manage
large portions. Bread and butter sand
witches should he of wafer thinness
and should be cut i'm inch wide strips.
A goodly supply should be on hand to

THANKSGIVING CRANBERRIES
Interesting Ways to Celebrate the Red
Berry on HOLIDAYS.

Berry on Holidays.
Cranberrics are good any way. They
taste good and look good, and they
are very good for the health. Stewed
cranberries are a delicious accompani-
ment to the everyday dinner, and there
are few meats which do not taste the
better for the addition of cranberries.
Cranberry jelly looks better, but is
not as sensible for every day, as it re-
Quires more sugar.
Cranberry Pie.-Ever so many like Il
cranberry pie. For it cover the bottom
Of pie pan with plain paste, reserv-
ing enough for an upper crust. Make
a rim around the edge and pour in a
filling made with one cupful Of cram
berries cut into halves. half a cupful-
Of chopped, seeded raisins. three
fourths Of cupful Of sugar, a table
spoonful Of cornstarch and lump Of
butter. Cover with the upper crust
and bake about half an hour.
Cranberry Pudding.-Another posi-
bility IS cranberry pudding. To make
1t cream half a cupful Of butter, add
slowly one cupful of sugar; then add
three well beaten eggs. Mix three tea
spoonfuls Of baking powder with three
and half cupfuls Of -four; add this to
the mixture alternately with half a
cupful Of milk. Add two cupfuls OF
cranberries which have been washed.

THE BIRDS BATH.
Baking Tins Make Delightful Tubs"
For Eeathered Pets.


Some canarieS simply refuse TO take
baths regularly in the tiny bird baths
usually provided for them. The thing
to do then Is to take all perches out of
the cage and also the bottom. Then
set the cage over an Oblong or square
baking tin, according to the shape of
the cage. Just partly filed with water.
This will leave no place for the bird TO
20 but to cling to the side Of the cage.
Of which we will soon tire, or take his
plunge. OF course, IL the bird simply
sits in the water without bathing he
must not be allowed to remain in the
bath for very long, as he will catch
cold. Most birds, however, will battle
II thus managed and enjoy the bath
much better than II II were taken In a
tiny dish. The baking tin should be
new.
