Somewhere in what follows will be
found the correct solution of the MT
and Mrs. L. S. Jones mystery, which
kept information. room and ice water
clerks at the Biltmore Hotel on dig
rifed hop yesterday; and somewhere
else, for good measure, the shortest
authentic interview ever passed on to
the public from Henry Ford.
Most of New York's big hotels have
grapevine connection with the news
paper Offices. In this respect the Bilt-
more is not lacking. Thus. at about
noon. a half-dozen city editors were
simultaneously made aware that Mr.
Ford could be found in the hotel near
est Forty-third Street and Madison
Avenue-specifically, in Room 124O,
Hotel Bitmore.
Subsequently, a half-dozen reporters
visited the Biltmore and called Room
i24O on the telephone. No one an
swered.
Information Clerk Surprised.
The information clerk was much sur

even suspected of being in the house.

After a moment he frightened.
"But maybe he isn't here,' he said.
"I'll make sure"
Making sure lifted the information

there had been no deception practised
upon him. henry Ford was certainly
not in the Biltmore.

WITH YOUR HOUSE PLANTS

If possible arrange some kind or
curtain. to cut off the window gar
den from the rest Of the room, when
sweeping or busting, 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 l:fe of a 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.
nut 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.
Until one has seen a really well
grown, so-called papyrus, or umbrella

There are two methods by which

These can be protected by building a
triangular frame over them, made of
light wood. boarded up on two sides.

Mulching consists of spreading ma

plants and over roots. MulChing does
not mean to spade the manure or litter
in. nor to put it under the ground.
Manure should be supplied occa-
sionally as a surface dressing under
evergreen and deciduous trees and
shrubs. Apply several inches in the
autumn and work it into the soil in the
spring.
During the winter flowers and
plants in window gardens and conserv-

There are several pretty ways OF
trimming the hair of little boys and
girls. and of managing that of larger
girls in a way to take the best posi-
Bile 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
bobbed 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
er so that 1t curves about the ears.
Occasionally a side part suits the style
of the youngsters face particularly

trimmed and trained to this style for
either boy or girl.

HOW FLORAL NOVELTIES AXE
DEVELOPED
By &. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Anyone can cultivate flowers WHO
has the necessary earth and seed. Al
least. anyone can cultivate mowers Vi
existing species, but the fad OF the
hour. the work of creating types ID
very fascinating. and opens ne"
world to one who has been taught
how nature works to make all things
different. We who work with her nhu
much delight in the new thoughts as
well as the new creation.
The value of a novelty depends upon
its popularity or use. 1t is great
delight to the grower to discover
blossom which shows a decided ten
dency to break away from establlshed
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
the plants that do not come true, and
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 Tor
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 IL
made of the best for further develop
ment. 1t may be something very
beautiful will develop from the frs
cross; perhaps they are commonplace
results only.
The secret in developing novelties
lies in being quick to see possibilitie
and then to develop the tendencies dis
played by the flower.

Effective Schemes.

Fur is frequently introduced as
trimming detail, and several effective
schemes are being carried out with
a combination of crepe and skunk. A
charming example is a blouse OF the
palest pale-pink chiffon with yelled
fine ivory shadow lace arranged to fall
in a little basque movement over a
deep bell OF black panne, tiny blacK
dots trimming the V-shaped neck open
ing and sleeves. which are furthermore
adorned By ruffies of fine net. the
