THE FLORAL ALMANAC.

The year keeps floral almanac. Thoreau boasted that, if put to sleep in a swamp, he could tell the date on awakening by the plants in bloom, says Henry A. Beers.
 How could such sweet and whole,
 some hours
 Be reckoned but with herbs and
 flowers?"
 The season opens and closes with blue, with the hepatica in March and the fringed gentian in November In spring the characteristic hues are white and blue; the houstonia in the meadows, the dogwood, anemones and violets, in the woods. But but tercups and dandenons Gmported weeds) make a strong show of vel low. With the summer heats the finer flowers retreat into recesses of damp weeds, leaving the fields to mayweed and other Compositae. In August and September comes a great flush of purple and yellow. The swamps are gay with 1ronweed and goldenrod, the waysides with toad flax and evening primroses; while the numerous members of the mint, pulse, and figwort families contribute to these two prevailing colors.

CARE OF FLOWERS.

Said woman whose flowers are al- ways admired by her neighbors, All through the snowy days of last win ter kept my dining room bright and cheery with potted plants and flow CTS. Not one of them died, and they were so strong and healthy when spring came that I set them out in my garden, where they quite outgrew themselves and became such husky fellows that I have inn prisoned them in pots again and put them in winter quarters. This is the first real success that I have ever had with flowers and I attribute it all to keeping the earth loose around the roots, watering them regularly, allowing the sun to shine on them as much as possible and, most of all, to what term the Flower Tonic.' This I administer every two weeks, and it is composed of one teaspoonful of household ammonia mixed with two quarts of lukewarm water When ever the plants began to fade or look lifeless this would revive them in a short time, especially when they were in pots, for then they had less nouF- ishment to draw from, as we'll as haE- ing to contend with the artificial heat"

Dainty hands are one of a women'g greatest charms, and beautifully man. toured nails are the first requisite of dainty hands. All hands may not be pretty, but careful manicuring will improve their appearance to such an extent that their lack of beauty is fre- quently overlooked. Well kept hands are an absolute business and social essential.
 You may bemoan the fact that you have neither the time nor the money to spend in beauty parlors" having your nails cared for. That is no ex- cuse, for even occasional expert care isn't necessary if you intelligently follow a few simple directions in the care of your own nails.
 The use of the following instru- ments will make your manicuring an easy task:
 Nail clipper Emery boards
 Curved scissors Nail brush
 Flexible steel file Orange sticks
 Cuticle knife A small bowl
 Buffer RFTg The nail clipper is used to round the corners of nails which don't re-
  spend to the curved scissors and emery board It is seldom necessary to use the clippers!
 Before beginning operations the hands should be soaked in tepid water in which a little white castillo soap has been dissolved First clip and file the nails to a rounded length which brings them about one-thirty- second of ar inch beyond the finger tips. Long sharply pointed nails are in bad taste The rounded nail is prettier.
 After filing the nails take an orang, stick and wrap a bit of absorbent cotton around its point. Dip it into the soapy water or into a nail bleach and pass it under the free edge o1 each nail. It is good practice to swat over the entire surface of the nail tt

Nature in our climate lays on her reds sparingly, except in the item of autumn leaves. Next after the cardinal, the brightest red of late summer is the magenta of Rhexia, or meadow beauty. The magenta is not winning color every year, which accounts, perhaps, for the unusual scarcity of the flower sometimes in meadows which I have seen filled with 1t in happier seasons. One Of the three prettiest red flowers Of early summer is the Polygala pauci- folia, or towering Wintergreen, which with it's tuft or fringe, and spread wings looks like some floral insect Ion tiptoe for 6 flight" Then there are the spiraeas; the kalmia, or American laurel, with which the woods are splendid in June; and the azalea, usually and wrongly called the wild honeysuckle.

remove any possible discoloration. A

remove any possible discoloradon. A good nail bleach is made as follows:
 Hydrogen peroxide 1 ounce
 Ammonia ...,...K ounce
 Fresh lime juice. A ounce
 Mix the above and keep in dark, glass-stoppered bottle.
 Having assured yourself that the nail and underlying tissues are per. fectly clean, wipe the finger tips dry with absorbent cotton and proceed to smooth the edges of the nail with an emery board. The emery board is practically the same thing as file, but being more delicate 1t completes the process of smoothing the edges. Work always from the outer edge toward the centre of the nail when filing.
 Look carefully to hang nails. If they are present, remove them with the emery board. If they prove obsti- nate trim them with the curved scis- sors, being careful to put a little pure peroxide on them.
 The nexe step is to reduce the cuti- cle at the base of the nail so as to ex- pose as much as possible of the half AAiCOiA" VI GAilo Pul OPoC uoO Il4O I4cll end of an orange stick. Gently crowd back upon the fingers the cuticle that has grown upward on the lower sec | ton of the nail. Don't use force for | this as it is easy to injure the delicate skin and may cause bleeding. Ii |. .bleeling should result the touch of { styptic pencil or of alum crystal ap- piled for a moment will stop it. l Next take your cuticle knife anG scrape away the loosened skin. Il you find the skin does not come away readily use the cuticle scissors and cut 1t away carefully, leaving it free ot l all rough edges. In doing this be care. ful not to disfgure the nail in any way, as such injury is likely to leave scars and ridges that will take week! to grow out and disappear.

CHILDREN'S APPAREL,

As every one knows the smaller the child the more attention 1t de- mands, and this somewhat applies also to the littlest persons clothes. The matter of keeping clean clothes on at all is a fair sized task, Tighten ed, however, by the pleasure of be- holding a wholesome, clean child for at least a few minutes. There are few women who have not the incIina- ton to dress the child as comfort ably and as becomingly as possible. Comfort comes first, and it cannot be repeated too often in spite of it's be- ing we'll worn. The child may ap- pear unconscious that part of its clothing is slipping off, or that it's garters hang uselessly at the sides, but children suffer many discomforts silently, and this is usually one of them.
 Choose always for this reason A style which hangs well together and is furnished with dependable buttons. Most children can dress themselves at an early age if the clothes are not too complicated. Plain little blouses for the little boy with the plainest of trousers should be buttoned to- gether with large buttons and but tonholes, bound so they will not stretch. One piece suits are advisa- ble for the child's play time if very small The little girl should also have as much freedom as possible at play time, and little brothers romp- CTS, or little suits are as suitable for her as for him and may often save a bad fall.
 | Petticoats which button on the shoulder are excellent and easy to get into when the little one does her own dressing.
 Fortunately, these simple clothes are never out of style, and for many 1 a long year Kate Greenaway has set | the style for children, and while Bou- vet de MonviI may draw the sketches nowadays the styles remain the same.
 Washable clothes are always best for underclothing, and little sweaters can be depended upon to supply the extra warmth. Just at present clothes with color or tints are preferred to those of all white material.

longed to know her were under ire

Fanny Wheeler was one
Fanny Wheeler had come to town
from nowhere. She always had been
poor; she had no prospects. Her hus-
band kept the grocery store. But Fanny
had ambition. She was a climber by
nature. First she climbed into the good
graces of her neighbor, Mrs. Hallam,
and then by way of Mrs. Hallam she
climbed into that select organization
known as the Woman's Club. And now
by way of the Woman's Club it seemed
that she was about to climb into the IA
vor of Mrs. Frederic Scott Dibble.
Fanny went home with her head in a
whirL Sam found her flushed and pal
pitating when he returned to supper.
"Oh, SAM she cried Il wish you
could have seen her things and her pearl
necklace If single one of her dia-
monds had dropped in my lap you could
give up your old grocery store and
could be lady for the rest of my life

"Pshaw!" said Sam He smiled al
her through his spectacles. Sam was
too tired usually to show enthusiasm,
but he allowed Fanny to have her way.
I'D like to get some of her trade" he
added. "She just about keeps Banks go
ing"
But Fanny wa. thousand miles above
the grocery store just then sailing in the
ether of her own Imagination. II
This was on Thursday. Next Thurs
day the Woman's Club called special
meeting and elected Fanny Wheeler as
secretary. There was whisper that
Mrs. Frederic Scott Dibbie had suggest
ed this. "Oh, Saml This is step for
ward, indeed" Fanny sighed happily.
'@You bet Mrs Dibble's houseleeeper

piled Sam. But Fanny did not hear him.
When two weeks later Mrs. Dibble in
vited the Wonan's Club to a luncheon

unsophisticated, and refined. Fanny was
