Henry James on France,

She has gardened where the soil of humanity has been most grateful. and the aspect, so to call it, most toward the sun, and there. at the high and yet mild and fortunate center, she has grown the precious, intimate, nourish. ing. finishing things that she has in. exhaustibly scattered abroad. And if we have all taken them from her. so expected them from her as our right, to the point that she would have seemed positively to fail of a passed pledge to help us to happiness if she had disappointed us. this has been be- cause of her treating us to the impress sion of genius as no other nation since the Greeks has treated the watching world, and because of our feeling that genius at that intensity is infallible.- Henry James, in ''The Book of France" i" Macmillan.

STYLES IN PETTICOATS

are used and there is no attempt made to match the gown; even bright con- trasts are permitted.
 It is quite natural that this should be so, when many of the new gowns have deep facings of brightly colored ribbons that are intended to show as the wearer walks-for instance, a gown of gray taffeta which has a slight embroidery of cut steel and self colored silk, it's wide hem lined with a broad ribbon of turquoise blue with white edge. It seems as though the dressmakers were not able to leave the hens of the skirts alone, for many colors are introduced in various ways on the inner or outer surface. While this is the fashion, no one need spend undue effort in getting a petticoat to match a frock. Any color will do, provided it is not an ugly one.
 Although black-and-white striped silk appears in the directoire hats, parasols, shopping bags and silk spats, 1t does not appear in it's old abiding place, the petticoat
 Among the popular colors are pur- pie, petunia, cherry red, apple green and copper brown.
 There is no longer any doubt About the return of the upper skirt which goes by various names, but to the old-timer is better known as the over skirt than tunic. It was included in the revival of both the Louis Philippe and the Louis XIV styles, and has now caught hold of the popular fancy as an excellent way to either make over gown, or produce new color scheme.
 Sometimes it appears as a glorified pannier, or even a glorified hustle, which is placed at the sides as well as the back. Again it follows out the idea of the Brittany apron, from which many of the shapes are directly borrowed
 There is a strong effort being made in France to bring back aprons on afternoon and evening frocks, but so far the suggestion has not met with much success. What the future holds, no daughter of a prophet would at- tempt to say
 The coiffure shown in the sketch is one that has been universally ad- mired.

Doing of Housework Need Not Mar Their Beauty, if Proper Precau.
 tions Are Taken.

One of the first cares of every won- an who does her own housework should be her hands. Extra pains should be taken by her that exposure and harmful soaps shall not roughen or redden them. This is really quite simple problem. She can have her hands continuously in soapsuds with out injury to the skin if the hands are dipped in vinegar or lemon juice immediately after. The acids destroy the corrosive effects of the alkali and make the hands soft and white.
 Mutton tallow is considered excel lent to soften the hands It may be rubbed on at any time when the hands are perfectly dry, but the best time is when retiring, and an old pair of soft, large gloves thoroughly covered on the inside with the tallow can be worn through the night. Those who suffer from badly chapped hands will ind this comforting.
 Another effective remedy is to rub the hands we'll in dry oatmeal after avery washing.

best American tradition, in that 1t has grown from an insignificant village to center of world importance during two brief generations. In 1881 it had population of 6,1S7. It now has a population of more than 165,000, tre- mendous business, highly developed harbor, equipped with the most mod srn machinery and port appliances, and some of the finest public build ings in Great Britain. It's annual ship ments of fuel totaled before the war about S,500,O0O tons.
 In a Rich Mining Region.
 The growth of Cardiff began when Great Britain started upon it's career of being the factory nation of the world. The port, situated upon the River Taff, mile above it's outflow into the Bristol channel, lies in the midst of rich coal and iron country, whose vast deposits have formed an undiminishing stream of lifeblood, not only to British industry but to the industries of many other countries. The whole region surrounding the town is honeycombed with coal and iron mines. These minerals have been mined here for centuries, and were formerly brought down from the hills on the backs of mules and in rudely constructed wagons. With the rise of the star of industrialism, the construc- tion of an up-todate harbor and Of efficient means for transportation, Cardiff came into it's own, became big, prosperous, rich, renowned
 While the export of this port is enormous, it has but an inconsidera. ble import. Its docks receive iron ore, pit-wood, grain, four and cattle. , An industrial region of increasing i'm. portance has been growing up around the city. Tin, copper and iron works are established here. There are also large wire factories, general foundries | and engineering works. Many of the city's general manufactures are sent to London, which is 146 miles to the west by the Great Western railway.
 Cardiff owes much of it's progress to the second marquis of Butte, who real ized the importance of this place as an outlet for the great stores of min eral wealth of thessurrounding coun. try, and who opened the first great dock here in 1889, The present Lord Butte owns the docks and basins of the harbor proper, fivesin number and GOV ering no acres, while numerous other | docks extend down into the Bristol channel. Despite the citys great de- velopment in all directions, the ex- haustion of shutting down of it's coal mines would rob it of it's importance. During the present time the value of its exports to Russia, France and Ital- ian factories can hardly be overesti mated.

Only by Carefully Following That Rule Can Individuality Be Prop
 erly Brought Out.

The woman who follows the fash ions without regard to her own type makes great mistake. Every woman should dress according to her type if she would appear to her best advan- tage. The clothes witch suit her type will bring out her individuality; the stylish models will smother it. And in the pursuit of beauty, individuality plays most important part.
 Beauty alone never held sway for any length of time, never made an impression that lived to influence the world; women of individuality who have not been beauties have proved how important is this illusive some thing called individuality.
 We have only to glance about Us at any public gathering and we will see our own countrywomen with the char. acteristics of the Morse woman with her fair coloring and stately bearing; or the Russians with the pathos of the Slav; the French, chic and viva cious; or the Italian, with the warmth of sun in her nature; or the Spanish, with eyes of fire, proud and passionate; or the German, stolid and domesticated; or others too numerous to mention, yet all Americans.
 This season Spanish colorings have influenced the new styles to a marked degree. But even so this doesn't mean that every woman must appear dressed as Carmen any more than it means that the good American dishes must give way to chile con carne, red pep pers and other Spanish favorites.
 Imagine some Morse type in a new model la Spain. Her individuality would be lost, her coloring would be 'jarred," every action would seem a misfit. On the other hand, imagine a woman of the Spanish or French type dressed in an outfit intended for a

PLANT FOR BEAUTY
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

A tropical effect can be obtained by castor-oil plants Tn the middle, with tall-growing cannas around them. Use elephants ears for the border.
 A glorious hedge is obtained from salvia. Plant triple row of the red sage, as 1t is often called. Set it, but early in June, and let it grow un- checked until 1t is a blaze of color.
 If the aphis attacks the sweet peas spray them with strong soap suds.
 Give heliotrope rich, porous soil. composed of leaf mold, thoroughly rotted manure, and sand to make 1t friable. It requires good drainage and plenty of water and will not thrive in heavy sour soil.
 Ever-blooming larkspur is a novelty that has proved hardy and beautiful. It grows to great height, four or five inches tall, and is a constant bloomeI. AS hardy perennial Of great beauty 1t is well to try the Albion. white and bella-donna, sky blue, they are riot of gorgeous coloring and a great improvement over the oldtime lark spur.
 Sow mignonette every two weeks until the middle of July. There is no flower so fragrant and it is easily grown and will supply plenty of per fume for the home rooms.
 Much better than the commercial fertilizer is well-decayed manure. It supplies humus, which improves the capacity of the soil for holding mois- ture and admitting the air to the roots.
 Take care of the palms and plants that have been growing in the house all winter. Do not expose them to the full sunshine of the garden. Keep them in a secluded spot until they become accustomed to it.

HAVE A FLOWER FARM
By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

The demand for choice flowers never fails and the big cities of the United States sell enormous quantities. They must be fine though. The city man who wishes flowers for special decoration does not care how much they cost if they are the best that caH be grown.
 Flower farming Is an agreeable oc- cupation. But little help is required The costly adjuncts. such as curing, drying, housing and storing are not 1 required. Plants increase in value and once a place is going 1t continues to increase in productive ability with each year.
 Flower farming does not require rich soil, but 1t must be quick and respon- sive. Some of the requirements for success, however, demand that your farm be located near a railway station and should have the convenience of telephone. ice or cold spring, and good road to town.
 Start in small way Be content to buy from 100 to 500 plants each year
 
 vide and build your stock from. By starting in a small way you will ac- quire the necessary experience to cope with the situation and understand the workings on larger scale. No book knowledge can compare with years actual experience.
 There are many plants that increase l prodigiously. Others take several years to be strong productive plants.
 The hydrangea will pay for itself in single year. The peony takes longer to arrive at perfection.
 If planted in the fall the peony will bloom the first season, but young plants are apt to be too quick in get ting out in the spring and the buds may be injured by late frosts. One thousand bushes three years old will produce 30,OOO flowers.
 The dahlia is a good flower to grow. It can be planted June 1, come into bloom about August 15, and will be in full bloom by September. It is free, easy early bloomer, has bright colors long stems and good plump tubers. The peony must not be overlooked Its requirements are simple, yet at a few periods they are very easily dam aged.
 Plants that are kept dormant by be- ing dug in the fall may be planted until June with fine success When plant ing peonies in clayey ground they should be set about four inches deep, but in light, sandy soil or loamy soil five or six inches deep.
 Never use much manure the first year on newly planted peonies, and never overmanure them Cultivate them about three inches deep, then ap- ply about one inch of manure and work well into the soil in the spring
 Plant peonies in the bright sunshine away from trees that are liable to shade them or whose roots may sap l the plant food in the soil where they are planted.
 | Peonies are grown from a division of old plants and also from seed. It takes from five to eight years to come into full bloom from seed.
 To get the best results from phlox they should be planted new each fall or spring and given plenty of water while in bloom

HYDRANGEAS

In the spring hydrangeas should have some branches Sut out at the bottom to give them a more compact and sturdy look They should occupy a sunny position in the garden and be protected from the cold winds of au- tumn. When the buds begin to swell in the spring cut the branches at the bottom and the plant will quickly throw up shoots that will produce large heads of bloom
 The plants should be watered occa- sfonally with liquid manure.
 Hydrangeas make a good house plant if good air and sunshine are given them.

Many Tools in One.

The day of the family tool box may soon be matter of past history if a device that is now on the market can do all that it's manufacturers claim for it.

Here are a few of the tools whose work it intends to accomplish Ham. mer, litter for hot pans and dishes, tack puller, screwdriver, nut cracker, box opener, wrench, pliers, rule, meas. ure and ice chipper.

The demand for petticoats makes the mill men smile. At the present moment they are probably more ex, aggerated than they will remain, The reason is that the French houses made a feature of them and sold them at high prices for the last two months, and they have been copied in expensive fabrics.

RIGHT CARE OF THE HANDS

To remove stains rub a slice of raw potato upon the stains or wash the hands in lemon juice.
 Above all things, be as particular as possible regarding the quality of the soap you use, as cheap soap is the worst enemy of dainty hand. When hard soaps must be used always wear rubber gloves, which can be purchased at little expense.
