Vases.

Vases.
When the florist delivers his long
box. and you lift out the fragrant
bouquet from its mass of green tissue
paper and dainty ribbons. into what
vase shall you put the flowers? That
depends. Some people will have moth
ing but precious Japanese porcelains
OF neutral color with faint tracery
of design brushed over them. Others
like fancy Cloisonne or plain earthen'
ware in strong bright colors. For
that matter flowers can he made 10
look beautiful in milk bottle--but
not easily.
The hardest type Of vase to do any
thing with is the sort that was
especially beloved of Victorian house
wives, the bulgy base and the tiny
neck. You can surnount even the
difficulty Of trying to get the one
stem that will fit the neck not to look
spindlinE when the eye compares 1t
with that bloated base, by using
heavy branch of ounce, with the
leaves still on it, or a cluster of bay
berries surmounted by leaves. But the
best of vases, to my mind, is the
modern, broad, shallow bowl with
perforated flower holder in the cen
ter. In this way no stem is crowded
yet IlOIlG ldllS over lNltpISt tiC pAc1A''
look as II they We're growing natu-
rally, and the water itself Is called
into the composition, to lend its fluid
ity and grace, its reflections and
transparency. Also one is encour-
aged to keep the water fresher when
it is all in sight.
A long slender straight vase is OBJ
viously suited only to one, two or
three formal stems; a broad, short
straight crock will most tittingly har-
Dor a great clump of flowers, daisies.
chrysanthemums, roses; in broad,
shallow, rounded bowl one may well
place water lilies or any low, rounded
dome OF blossoms.
The wall vase or the wall basket al
most cries out for trailing plants;
indeed, the wall is the only place
where trailing plants have any
esthetic right except perhaps when
few radiate from bowl in the center
of a very large table set for Il formal
dinner; on q small table trailing vines
are nuisance and an affectation.
Neutral colors in vases are safest;
strong colors are gayest. but require
that the color of the flowers shall be
either closely similar or else come
complementary shade. Nobody need
spend lot of money for vases these
days. inexpensive colored glass is
now made in shapes more beautiful
than any a fortune could have bought
in other days. If you have q precious
Chinese porcelain OF the second cen
fury, don't put any flowers in It; put
it In a museum.

NY Neighbor Says:

The method of making tea is
amount required depends upon
the kind of tea you are using.
AS q rule a teaspoonful of tea
to each person you are going to
serve, and one teaspoonful for
the pot is about right. Have
the water boiling before you
pour It on the tea, and before
putting the tea leaves in the pot
run a little hot water in to heat
up the pot. Then pour this out,
place in your tea, and when the
water is boiling pour it. over the
tea.
A fine amber colored soup
may be obtained by adding fine
ly grated carrot to the clear
stock when It is free from scum.
A young chicken has smooth
skin and pliable pin feathers.
Long hairs. coarse scales on the
feet and hard breastbone are
sure signs of an ancient bird.
Always note the breast and
back well. The former should
be plump and meaty, the latter
fat.
This is a good way to cook
tough meats. Saute to keep the
juices and stew until tender.
Serve with thick gravy.
If sausages are rolled in -four

Announcement that delays at quarantine
at New York were to be abolished will be
received with real joy by every passen-
ger who has spent an unnecessary half
hour or half day waiting for a perfectly
useless inspection while travelling from
one American port to another.
While the announcement is not as posi-
tive as it might be in substance it pro-
vides for quicker landing at New York,
or certainly no delays due to health in
spections. The statement is that this
modified regulation will continue in force
so long as Porto Rico is considered clean
from a health standpoint. That is per-
fectIy reasonable. But in case conditions
here should become less favorable there
is ample opportunity afforded for iuspec-
ton OF passengers here before boarding
the ship. True sickness might develop
before arrival in New York but that
could be cared for from inspection stand
point without either delaying a ship or all
It's passengers.
Frequent requests have been made
over a puriOd OF years that the quaran-
tine inspection for our ships either be
abolished at New York or that steps be
taken to have 1T cause less Inconvenience

have been cited TO show how impossible
it would be to make any change. In the
meantime the public has fused and fun

cessity for the repeated delays. The new
regulations are already in force and pas
