which depends so largely on the right
choice OF color scheme, the rest OF Its
furnishings is chiefly question OF
comfortable tables and chairs. For the
first are quite as necessary to our com
fort as the last Indeed, half the COM
fort of n so called easy chair depends
upon having right ut hand a big or
little table to relieve you of every
thing from book or working to
coffee cup or n cigarette After these
simple essentials add that other OF
comfortable lights, perhaps the hard

BULBS FOR WINTER.
How to Have Bloomers For the Holt
day Season

udJ oedSOH'
For those who like to have blooming
bulbs in the house during the late fall
and winter months there is simple
method that requires little time and no
skill Paper white narcissuses, Dutch
Roman hyacinths and dalfodils are
most easily grown, although tulips,
crocuses and other bulbs that are capa
BILE of being forced can be grown with
out difficulty.
Use shallow six or eight inch pots
and any loose, sandy soil that you can
get Do the planting any time before
frosts. IL you do ii later than that the
results are not likely to be so satisfac-
tory Fill the pots partly full of soil
and place the bulbs so that there shall
be some space between them; then GOV
er them with soil to the depth of per
haps an inch, water them freely, bury
the pots in the ground outside and
cover them with soil to the depth of
three inches. Mark the spot so that
you will know where each variety of
bulbs is buried. When the top of the
ground begins to freeze cover the
buried bulbs with leaves to keep them
from freezing The buried bulbs will
at once begin to grow and will need
no attention until they are ready to
bring into the house.
Paper white narcissuses develop most
rapidly. but should be allowed to re
main buried for at least five weeks
When dug up they should be watered
and left In the cellar or some other
dark, cool place for few days before
they are brought into the full light. II
placed in cool, sunshiny window and
watered freely they will bloom by
Christmas. Other pots Of narcissus
may be brought in at intervals OF a
few days to replace those that have
finished blooming
