Baby Rambler Roses

c. K.-The Baby Rambler or Polyantha
roses are very satisfactory. They bloom
virtually every day over long season.
often the bushes are mass of bloom.
The flowers are fragrant and pretty. OF
course they are not shapely or colorful

serve a very useful purpose for masslng

dwarfsh for a hedge or border They
can be planted about one foot apart and
kept trimmed to a height of three or four
feet. Pots from specimens, blooming or
about TO bloom, can be bought now at from
80 TO IS cents each. In the winter the
roots should have a little earth banked

For a Rustic Box

S. T. P.-For rustic box I would ad-
wise combination of ferns, of the harder
sort, such as Scottl, Teddy Junior Roose-
welt; some small palms for the centre sew
eral colors Of crotons to give gay effect
and pandanus, which has dainty green and
white leaves. or course, you will not have
any flowers on these, but then you will
not have the out-of blooming periods which
are so discouraging to many amateurs.
Coloring Hydrangeas Blue
ARTHUR C.-There are said to be sew
eral ways of securing the deep blue color in
the summer or herbaceous hydrangeas. one
writer says to mix In some iron filings about
the soil Another says powdered alum dug
in about the roots will give the effect
sought. OF course, some of these hydran-
geas are naturally blue in bloom.

be planted there would be dwarf brussels

put in anything that runs and thus might
choke down the asparagus It is about
time to stop cutting the asparagus now
Tree Seeds
OLNEY-Yes. II is possible to buy tree
seeds, but unless you wish to plant them
simply for the fun of the experiment II will
be more satisfactory for you to buy your
saplings; those sold by reliable firms cost
only 20 cents to 75 cents, according to
size and variety. You can plant Seeding

the st. Regis. The canes bear heavily
from June till October The berries have
the true raspberry flavor and are deep
crimson in color and large in size. This
is more than n mere novelty, as its merits
have been tested. However, l would not
advise you to put the raspberrles out this

The Things That Women Wear Are Both More Beautiful and More

Than Ordinarily Wearable- but Not So the Hats

the morning versions are Of wool stun.
The burella cloth OF which THE Stu

chosen for such frocks by some OF the
most exclusive French houses, but the
material has been bought up by these
houses and is apparently not on the
market. II has an early Anglo-Saxon

themselves readily TO these same lines.

Of course the evening models that first
strike the eye are those that differ
most radically from the short. far!ng.
bounant evening frocks Of last ear
, There are still short and boufYant
evening models. though they have lost
much Of their aggressive Hare and no
longer hint at h~oopsk.rts: but the
more interesting models for evening
a are the straight clinging gowns
Of Moyen Age and Renaissance flavor.
The formal trained gowns and the
straight but full models frankly

All of these are a little longer than
any evening gowns Of last ear Some
are even long enough to sweep the
floor all around or drag back over the

Cabot affects In certain cases. Instep
length Is. however. the usual thing and
the young person will doubtless insist
upon having her dance frocks shorter
still; but the ultra short frock Is lead
SO far as Paris is concerned. though
occasionally n sees a handsome eve

II is difficult not to ak about Cabot
this season, The famous house has
committed itself to change more un-
reservedly than any Of It's peers. the
comparatively young house Of BulloZ

more closely than n other. Callot
has evidently been intrigued by the
Moyen Age and Renaissance lines. but
not to the extent OF ignoring Oriental
ideas or forgetting allegiance to the
draped overskirt and train Of gorgeous
brocade above a petticoat OF tulle or
lace.
Always Callot adores richness OF
material; and this season there is
certainly the whereWithal for indul-
gence of the penchant. Marvellous
laces, metallic tissues and laces.
sumptuous brocades, .jewelled embroid-
cries, furs. v~elvets, all are grist for the
Callot mill; and yet never does the
richness snufr out the art value.
