ARRANGEMENT OF
FLOWERS SHOULD
BE GIVEN STUDY

In Japan the art of arranging
flowers is considered of such i'm
portancc that there are about 200
schools specializing in it.
Each type of flower has its own
vase, making as nearly as possible
a growing effect, such as might be
found in the garden.
The japanese have three distinct
parts to their bouquets( the lower
flowers representing the earth, the
middle ones man, and the upper ones
heaven. When arranging flowers,
try getting this effect as it is really
lovely. 1t will be more effective
also if done in a triangular form.
Though we may never become so
adept as the japanese at flower ar
langement, we can, at least, take
few hints from them.
Never crowd the blossoms. If
you are arranging jonquils, tulips or
any other straight stemmed flow
crs, you may use "frogs," placing
them so as to hold the flowers up
right in a low, broad bowl. In this
way they best display their true
personalities.
The more graceful flowers you
will find easily held in place by
snail stones placed in the vase, or
howl or in sand.
The vase should not be stronger
in color than the flowers them
selves. Blue blossoms are exquisite
in copper brass, white flowers in
green, and lavender in gray pottery.
As a general rule vases should be
undecorated, as the flowers are used
for the color note, and the decora-
tions might rival the blossoms
placed in the vase.
The decorative value of cut flow
ors cannot be ovcr-cstimated. Try
choosing flowers to harmonizc with
your furnishings. Consider them
as decorations and take care that
their color does not add an off note
to your scheme.
For in-betwecn seasons and in
summer when cut flowers do not
keep well, the "immortals" or ever
lasting flowers grown so extensive
~ along the coast make beautiful
bouquets, and are to be had IN
many colors and shades; the daisy
types being particularly appealing.
The pink ones are exquisite used
with mauve furnishings. They are
inexpensive, last we'll and when ar
ranged once require no further care
until they are to herearranged for
new effects. They should not be
RACED in water.
There are many vines which when
grown in bowls are vases without
soil, require little care, and are very
graceful trailing down over the
edge of table or window sill. Ivy
adapts itself we'll to this treatment
as does the familiar "Wandering
jew" When grown thus the water
should be changed once or twice a
week.

FUNERAL SERVICE
 FOR SIGNAL CORPS
 MEMBER, IMPRESSIVE

The funeral service Saturday for Ralph A. Miller, Signal Corps who lost his life ln Rus sian River last Tuesday, held in the Community Church, was a very impressive and beautiful one; the thought of which will no doubt bring happiness, as the years roll onward, to the be- reaved wife.
 The tenderly sung songs, the prayers and eulogy by Rev. R. A. Galley, the large attendance and the remarkably impressive mil tary honor and escort to the de- parted, will never be forgotten.
 Serene in death, and with the casket blanketed with a profu- sion of wild Alaska flowers, the solemn service ended when the casket was borne by the pall- bearers to the military auto con- veyance then, surrounded by a guard of honor and followed by a long line of cars, carried slowly to the dock where the re- mains were put aboard the s. s. Wash, where internment will be made.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. K. I. B. writes:
Though now in the grandmother
class, / read your articles with pleas
ure. We had no such help when I
reared my family.
1T has occurred to me to write you
an experience of mine which may prove
helpful. Despite every care and pre-
caution my Oldest son was impossible
to cure of bed wetting. tried every
school of medicine, and under doctors
directions gave ascending and descend
ing doses of strychnia and belladonna
until it produced twitching. This con-
dition persisted until the boy was II
years DID, and was in despair.
Then a doctor recommended this
simple procedure and he was cured in
three months. He suggested that get
two wooden blocks, by inches, and
put them under the foot OF the bed. Let
him lie fat without pillows and give
no liquid after o'clock. The wooden
blocks were to be used the 6-inch way
| first. 1t was hard to deny him liquids
with his supper, so I gave him celery
and lettuce to help moisten his meal.
He was taken up at least once during
the night
The improvement was immediate
and he slipped up only few times
| during the next three months. We
| turned the blocks to the 4-inch height
and kept them that way another three
months and the cure was complete
| After so many years of difficulty this
cure seemed miraculous.

| ing reared by the modern, scientific
methods, and they are fine, healthy

see good IN methods which are strange
to them, they can mix experience and
theory and get an infallible combina-
| ton.
I am only too glad to pass on your
suggestion. I have heard of it before
and with praise of its efficacy.
The suggestion that the child be de-
pr1ved OF liquids after 5 o'clock is one
idea, of almost universal advice, to which
do not heartily subscribe. In my
years of work with mothers I have
never found one person who had any
success in helping bed wetting by de-
prlVing the child of liquids, so I see
no reason for carrying on a policy that

! agonizingly thirsty. There is some dan
ger. too, of the urine being so con-

liquids that it is even more irritating

that the child be fed as usual and

up earlier in order to be relieved. I
am sure 1t would prove just as effective.

Growing Diversity in Hat Fashions
BY MARY MARSHALL.

milliner than in this country and the
really successful milliner must not only
know how to make hats of smart and
fashionable shape, but she must know
how to make hats that are becoming to
the women by whom they are worn.
In this country we have come to expect
our hairdresSers to cut and arrange and
wave our hair in the most becoming
manner possible-we expect great things
from hairdreSSerS-but most TO us ex-
pect milliners merely to supply us with
hats of the latest fashion.
At present there is a gratifying ten
dency toward greater diversity in hat
fashions: Even in ready-made hats it
Is possible to find some that are really
becoming and that add something OF
line and trimming that we need to give
us distinction.
The hat shown in the sketch is one
of the new models suitable for late
Summer or Autumn, for wear with the
tailored suit or less formal sort Of after
noon ensemble. It is correctly worn
so that not a single wisp of hair shows,
though it is characteristic of American
women generally that they are much
less willing to hide their hair than are
women in France.
Camisoles have come back into favor
and are worn with light dresses that do
not need slips. If you would like this

BRIDCETALKS
By MRS. JOHN MUNCE, JR.

Before discussing third hands bid in
the third and fourth situation, namely,
after dealer bids and second hand
passes; and after dealer bids and sec
ond hand bids; 1t is we'll to repeat
what is known as normal expectancy.
It is legitimate for the initial bidder to
count on his partner for one-th1rd OF
the high cards which he does not hold
in his own hand, and we speak of
dummy's share of tricks as two. 1t is
possible that dummys strength NAV
fall below the expected two tricks; still
there is always the possibility of dunn
my's strength rising above that average.
Normal support for your partner
when he has bid suit bid Is three
cards of the suit bid, no matter how
small, or king and one small card OF
the suit, or ace and one small card of
the suit bid, with one quick trick on
the side.
To illustrate what is meant by normal
support, the following hand is a splen-
did example:
Diamonds, ace, iO-spot, 5-spot, 3-spot and
Clubs, jack, s-spot and 5-spot.
The partner of the holder Of this
contains three of the suit, and one
quick trick in the ace of diamonds, it
contains normal support for the heart
bid.
Normal support for no trumps is two
quick tricks.
1t is particularly important that you
understand and carry in your mind
always thorough and complete under
standing of this normal expectancy and
ie ,ef
tant, II not more so, than complete
understanding Of the initial bids.
If normal support is not held, 1t is
necessary that a denial bid be made.
Consequently, in discussing bidding of
third hand under the third and fourth
situations it is necessary to classify
the bids into two general classes: First,
bids to increase the contract; second,
the denial and take-out bids.
We will not discuss in detail the bids
under the third situation, namely, when
dealer bids and second hand passes.
One of the most discussed questions
around many bridge tables is this:
When should you take your partner out
of a no trump bid and what should you
hold to do so?
Authorities differ on the take-outs
and no system will prove a winner In
every case, but we believe the following
methods will produce the most Sat1sfac-
tory results In the long run. The OBJ
ject of every bridge player should be
to go game in one hand. and all take
out theories must be based on this as
sumption. Don't think for a minute
that partial scores are to be scorned
where game Is impossible. but try to
buy the contract as cheaply as possible
in number of tricks to minimize your
loss when q loss has to be faced.
Dealer having bid no trump, second
hand having passed, If third hand is
weak, with nothing over normal sup
port, it probably means dealer has
strength, also that fourth hand is
strC lg and will likely bid a suit or dou-
BILE callers bid, to ask his partner, who
has previously passed, to declare his
best knit of four cards or more. 1t is
now g. nerally agreed upon that with a
hand c. ntaining normal support or less
third h. nd should pass.

July "a, 1864 visit to the Wash

that the board is in earnest in the work
of completing the monument. The
buildings around the base Of the shaft
have been put in tolerable condition
again, and other improvements are be-

mechanics to be employed.
In the shed near the base CT the
shaft, there are already 70 stone blocks,
presented by patriotic citizens, societies,
orders, States, ETC., of our own country,
and by admirers of the immortal Wash
ington in foreign lands. All are In good
condition and ready to be inserted in
the column as the work progresses.
Some of the blocks recently have been
received, while others have been on the
ground for long time.
Many Of these stone blocks are OF I'M
usual interest. There is one of white
marble. in which is inserted curiously
carved head with this inscription be-
meath: "This head was carved between
1000 and 5000 years ago by the
ancient Egyptians for the temple
