KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESH
Must Be Properly Taken Care Of, and
Here Are Some Suggestions
of Moment.

The only drawback to cut flowers is
that they wither 80 quickly, and in
keeping them fresh some seem to have
more luck than others.
For instance, in the matter Of vio-
let's, It Is possible to wear them sew
eral times without noticing the over
towering stale odor which proclaims
them beyond redemption.
or course many people find that they
cannot wear cut flowers even for one
afternoon, because in some cases the
body heat seems to wilt them, but II
this can be avoided it is quite pos
sible to find bunch almost as fresh
the second day as on the first II they
were properly guarded overnight.
Keep the box that they came In and
when you take them off hold the stems
under running water for a few min.
nutes, taking care not to wet the vio-
lets themselves.
Then wrap them up in the oiled pa.
per and put them back in the covered
box outside the window II 1t is cool;
If not. in the refrigerator, but in either
case keep them wrapped.
This treatment seems to restore the
flowers and hold in the delicious odor
which so soon becomes rank If they
are kept unwrapped in a close room.
Some people think pinch of salt in
the water will keep cut flowers fresh
longer, and so 1t does in some cases.
In others 1t seems to change the col.
ors little. With roses 1t is success
full, but not SO much so with violets.
A piece OF gum camphor is said to be
an excellent preservative in the water.
and others advocate small lump Of
charcoal, but In any case the water
should be changed daily and the flow
ers put in cool place overnight.

has gates, and the gates are closed
every Sunday. Only pedestrians are
allowed to pass therethrough. 1t came
to pass last year that Madame Shu-

,ingrowing toe nail. 1t panied her
much, and she was allowed to pass
through the gates on Sunday in a car
riage. Much criticism was stirred up
