If possible arrange some kind of den from the rest of the room, when sweeping or dusting, or when airing the room during severe weather. Dust is very bad for the growing plants. and the cold air chills them, often be- ing fatal to the life of plant
 Keep water on the heating stove at all times. to supply the moisture. Once a week or oftener, when the weather is very cold, and the air of a room is, of necessity, dry and hot. put a horseshoe, or other piece of iron in the fire, and get it red hot Then drop it in a pail of water, set underneath the window garden.
 Do not be discouraged if your young plants seem to be stunted, and are slow of growth, and neglect them. All at once they will change their ways, and surprise you with their growth and beauty.

There are several pretty ways of trimming the hair of little boys and girls, and of managing that of larger girls in way to take the best possi- ble care of it. But none of them is quite so popular as the bobbed hair, which is equally pleasing on boys or girls that are little, or the braided hair for larger girls, as shown here. Those who trim the locks of the lit tie ones make some variations in the hobbed haircut, to suit the individual. Sometimes the bang is longer and sometimes the hair at the sides natu- rally wavy or curly. is cut little long CT so that t curves about the ears. Occasionally side part suits the style of the youngsters face particularly well. in which case the hair is trimmed and trained to this style for either boy or girl.

HOW FLORAL NOVELTIES ARE
 DEVELOPED
By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Anyone can cultivate flowers who has the necessary earth and seed. At least, anyone can cultivate flowers of existing species, but the fad of the hour. the work of creating types is very fascinating. and opens new world to one who has been taught how nature works to make all things different We who work with her find much delight in the new thoughts as well as the new creation.
 The value of novelty depends upon it's popularity or use. It is great delight to the grower to discover a blossom which shows a decided ten dency to break away from established rules: to show the characteristics of new type. At once we feel a desire to help this development by selection or crossing. This consumes time. By selection the new flower must be al- lowed to develop and seed, and the other plants destroyed. The seeds. when planted, must be again selected and the rogues destroyed.
 The rogues in the flower world are lIe pldEilo ttidt dO llOl COtlIt U uts anu they must be destroyed. After the selection has been made sufficiently. the type Is fixed and the flower estab- lished.
 When crossing is done to develop novelties, two plants are selected for the parents of the new flower; two plants possessing qualities which, when blended, may produce desired results. These flowers are crossed and the seeds planted. The plant chill dren are carefully watched until they develop and bloom; then selection is made of the best for further develop ment It may be something very beautiful will develop from the first cross; perhaps they are commonplace results only.
 The secret in developing novelties lies in being quick to see possibilities and then to develop the tendencies dis played by the flower.

A naive and pretty frock of gray crepe de chine, such as that pictured above, will lend demureness and a touch of youth to it's wearer, be she lacking in both. It has the charm of simplicity and of clever originality to commend it to those who know the value of these things that spell class"

But for those who remain loyal to the waist that blouses and the straight-hanging full skirt that has youthfulness of line always to com mend it. the frock shown here will make a strong appeal.
 The skirt denies the demand of the mode for extreme shortness and takes to itself little extra length. required by the impression the finished frock must make. There is straight pep Ium at each side hanging from a mod erately wide. plain girdle This is edged at the top with band of cross barred satin in white with dark gray bars, and above this a soft frill of the crepe meets the blouse.
 The buttons are covered with crepe like the dress, and there is an odd and very youthful-looking collar of white crepe about the round neck IL fas- tens in the back.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
 Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly compound ed. brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Syyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy" You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Every. body uses this old, famous recipe, be, cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger Adv
