Roundabout Toun
Another Easter Lily That You Ought To Grow
The Amaryllis Ar Easter Lily In Rich Colors

A MAENLLIS is a beautiful plant
~ which every IL Pasosn ought TO
- - have in the conservatory. The
amaIyllis produces . flower so much
like the Easter lily in shape that am
reminded TO write Of them nere at this
Easter season. They are a brilliant
blood red or crimson in most cases, al
though some are white. Some of the
varieties are beautifully notified and
striped. They are Dubious and the
flower is produced upon the end of A
stout scape. The leaves look much
like the leaf Of the ordinary iris. but
are Of a much richer green
Like the Easter lily, they bloom
about Easter time and continue, usu-
ally for a couple Of months later, when
like the lily, they should be allowed to
rest, though a little water during the
year does not hurt them. Some people
advise taking them from the Dot when
they have finished blooming and set
ting them out in a bed in the yard
which does not receive much water.
where they are to be left until late fan.
when you are TO repot them and house
them during the winter.
These plants reward you with beau
tiful blossoms in the spring. Pot them
in ordinarily rich loan and keep them
well watered and see that there is
drainage in the bottom of the Dot.
They grow easier than the Easter liiv
and are just as pretty and Won have
the advantage Of being able to get
them in colors.
I came by pair of these beautiful
plants quite by accident Norman
Walker sent them to me last year from
Indiana. He didn't know what thew
were and I didn't ask at the time. 7

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

No fooIishness! Lift your corns

It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet Of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri'
tate the surrounding skin while ap'
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. IF your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his

of taffeta is a Joy and nothing rivals
If in popularity. The luster of this silk
gives brilliancy to sedate colors, like
beige and gray, and makes gayer hues
more rich. In blue, taffeta appears
to be at it's best, and blue in suits is
almost part Of our religion.
One Of the newest taffeta suits is
pictured this week. 1t is so simple
that it might go undescribed but that
it contrives, by means of it's pockets
and its vest and collar, to be unusual.
When the simple and the unusual are
combined they spell smart style. In
this chic model the skirt is plain, with
a panel down the front, folded under

coat is belted, in loose adjustment

Broadcloth has almost disappeared,
serge is growing scarce and more ex-
pensive and we are advised, in the
name of patriotism, to conserve all
things made of wool; hence, when the
talk is of summer suits, it is sure to
drift in the direction of silk. Things
seem topsy-turvy and the times strange
when frugality puts silk before wool
and economy makes it the best choice.
