spring party may be sent out in IN,
form OF spring rhymes or jingles, writ
ing them on pole green paper and ty-
ing them with a yellow ribbon.
The rooms may be appropriately dec
GRATED with apple blossoms. These are
quickly made by pasting on bare
branches little blossoms cut out from
pink paper. other spring flowers can
also be utilized for decorations.
Odd Place Cards.
Unusual place cards may be made
by pasting a pussy willow on the card,
drawing head, tail and whiskers around
II. Then sketch in a background ap-
proprlate for the person. For Instance,

FRUIT OF ONE SPECIES
OF ORCHIDS EDIBLE

Only one OF the 1900 different spe-
cles OF orchids, has any practical value
and that is the species from which the
vanilla bean Is derived.
Fruit In Long Pods
The species Of vanilla are all climb
Ing plants and The slender stem emits
aerial roots by means Of which they
climb upon the trunks and branches
OF trees. The flowers are inodorous
and have thick fleshy, dull-colored
leaves. The fruit consists OF pods
shaped like long lead pencil, frm,
but slightly wrinkled.
Drying Develops Odor.
These pods are gathered and dried
before they are fully ripe. This dry
ing process is the most important
feature Of their preparation. II develops
the peculiar odor and makes them val
liable as a flavoring extract.
This species OF orchids was frsl
found In parts OF Mexico and Central
America. but is now extensively oulti-
vated In some Of the West Indies and
in the islands of the East Indian archi-

NEW YORK, March is.--It's hard te

HOW TO RAISE HOUSE
PLANTS SUCCESSFULLY

The housewife need have no more
withered house plants. II she WIFI ex-
ercise a moderate amount OF judgment
In their care.
The best plan to follow IN watering
a plant is to walt until the surface is
dry to uthe depth of half an inch. Then
pour water over 1t, until 1t reaches the
saucer. Do not water again until the
surface is dry,
Set Plant in Water.
To keep ferns fresh and growing, set
the fern dish In a pan OF water coming
about half an inch above the top OF the
dish. The plants should be kept in the
water for about 20 minutes every other
day. Sprinkle the foliage profusely
with tepid water and drain thoroughly.
