WINTERTIME
BIZ D. c. PEArrIE.

It has to be a, cold Winter day to
lure me inside the green houses Of
the Botanic Garden at the foot Of
Capitol Hill, But about once a year
can stand a little dollhouse botany,
though as a general thing I do not
care for 1t. When all the world about
Is dun and bare and Spring is scarcely
sketched in buds upon the elm twigs,
1t feels good to go and baSk in the
steamy, tropic warmth of the green
house. But for the cement sidewalks,
and the little signs in Latin, and the
strips OF gardeners hose, would fancy
myself in the tropics once more.
The fantastic shapes of tropical tree
trunks and the peculiar texture and
gloss of tropical leaves, like green
leather, convey even to the man who
walks about casually In the Botanic
Garden much the same impression
that O tropical rain forest produces,
without the moSquitory inconvenience.
Yet I will say this for the tropics, that
tropical weather can be and often is,
Notwithstanding that cannot be
said of a greenhouse at any time,
I often wonder what it Is that at
tracts older men to greenhouses. 1t
has an odd fascination for nurses and
baby carriages.
Our washington greenhouse is not
just an ordinary botanical garden. 1t
is official. It has an appropriation from
Congress. It started irregularly, under
the tutelage Of a botanist named
Breckenridge. He was appointed 10 go
around the world on a governmental
scientific expedition. Upon his return
he was in the possession Of thousands
of specimens of flowers and trees, vines
and shrubs The pressed specimens
went to form the nucleus Of the Smith
sonian plant collection, but the living
plants had no official provision for
many years, during which they grew
back OF the Patent Office.
The creation of the Botanic Garden
where now they are housed, came dur
Ing the years when the original plan
for systematic identification OF
Washington was forgotten, and the
Botanic Garden was planted down upon
the site of more majestic schemes.

The well-dressed woman gives a great
deal of thought to the accessories which
accompany her wardrobe. The little
details Of the costume are significant.
They include all articles not part of the
necessities of the wardrobe such as
scarfs, bags, purses, most neckwear,
jewelry, fancy handkerchiefs, ribobns,
laces, apart from those used in making
the dress or garment, gloves, and the
other thousand and one things that
give finishing touches.
Just now great emphasis is placed
on the style and finish of scarfS. Many
of the scarfs have bags to match and
some have hat trimmings of the same
sort also, thus supplying ensemble ac-
ceSsories. Fortunately many of these
articles can be made at home, If a
woman so chooses. And what is graf
flying is that they can be fashioned
from various pieces of silk and ribbon
exercised to have the color combina-
tons pleasing, for on this more than
anything else does the success of the
article depend
One scarf can be made of q number
OF strips Of silk not more than one and
one-fourth inches wide. Five or six
make the center with a border of dark
silk about two inches wide. The ends
Of the scarf are straight, but are given
an unusual appearance by having q
triangle Of the border color with the
tip toward the middle of the scarf.
When a square the width OF the scarf is
cut diagonally across the center it will
make the correct triangular sections.
The back Of the scarf can be of the bor-
der color or made precisely like the
front. Seams should be allowed, as fin
tshed measurements have been given.
Another scarf is made Of three shades
Of one color or of three harmoniously
contrasting colors. The center Is of one
tone bordered with a second. In this
scarf again is found the novelty feature,
Tor these colors are so arranged that

What a Night!
0 to sleep. you're Dreaming !!

Go to sleep, you're dreaming!
That's not Just my way of twisting
common ideas out OF shape. It is
more logical or consistent than the
common expression, Wake Up, you're
dreaming"
You see we all dream every minute
we're asleep. If we recall our dreams
when we awake that means we've slept
lightly. If we are startled out of sleep
by our dreams, that means we've barely
crossed the threshold between con-
seriousness and Inconsistencies. II
visions come to us, or II the spirits of
absent friends, or anything like that,
just as We are merging from sleep to
wakening; or from consciousness to
sleep, that means our Inconsistencies
has played us q trick, at least 1t seems
that way TO me.
Out of the subconsciouSness, where
emotions, inspirations, faneies, imagi-
nations are born, come not only phan-
tastes such as spirit materializations,
but many of the finest, greatest and
best ideas that inventors, painters,
poets. architects, authors, engineers,
shoemakers and scientists use in the
elaboration Of their finished products.
So we need not complain IL we happen
to recall particularly vivid dreams or
their weird contents.
1t is only when the. dream state be-
comes a chronic one that we may fair
ly complain. and even then 1t Is gen.
orally the dreamer's own fault
In good health, one recalls dreams
only occasionally, and one is startled
out Of sleep by bad dream never.
In IiOJ so good health, one dreams so
much and remembers so many details
on awakening, that going to sleep
comes to be rather dreadful to contem-
plate, whereas it should be the very
opposite. A healthy persons should hit
the hay with something Of the ardor
q live boy feels and manifestS as he
tackles a quarter section Of pumpkin
pie The little old beddy, if it is right
ly equipped and arranged, out to cab
a CHEEKY welcome to the owner when
ever his thoughts travel toward sleep.
1t ought to say Come on, let that go
till tomorrow-youll ind it easier to
tackle then, you know"
I fear this may not apply to the sad
sleeping accommodations many people
are content to endure It's funny how
folks who insist on having excellent
riding accommodations for the few
minutes or at most the hours they
travel every day, yet languish through
endless nights in beds that should have
gone to the junk pile long since.
The common causes of shallow SLEEP
and disturbing dreams are % tobacco
excess, 90 overeating, Cd indulgence
in alcoholic beverages, az insufficient
ventilation and overheatlng Of sleeping
room, go neglect Of daily open-air
exercise, (6) too heavy bed coverings
or sleeping fitments that the sleeper
should be ashamed to be found alive in
to say nothing of death.
To bad dreamers heartily commend
the familiar prescription: Six miles OF
oxygen daily on the hoof.

Few people will be found these days
to admit belief in haunted houses, al
though records of "hauntings" have
been made by more than one per-
son engaged in investigation of psy-
chic occurrences. But how are we to
treat the account of Stephen Phillips,
the British poet and dramatist, Of the
house with the automatically turning
door handles which he leased in Egham,
near Windsor?
Was there a little old man who crept
about the house at all hours of the
night, mysteriously turning the knobs
and as mysteriously disappearing?
Phillips leased the place as retreat
where he might find peace and quiet.
AS quickly as possible, he moved IN
with his whole household, including
several servants.
He did not know that the house had
the reputation of being haunted Mo-
body had warned him, though several
persons who knew the story of the place
might have done so. Perhaps he would
have scoffed at them had they told him.
Not an hour of peace and quiet did
he find
mo sooner had we been installed"
he says, than the uncannjest noises
conceivable beset u.s."
Knockings, rappings, soft footballs,
loud footballs, stealthy scurryings,
sounds of some one being chased and
caught and choked and the banging
OF doors were among the happenings
which frightened the household.
Worst of all, doors would open and
close at night. as If operated by I'M
seen hands. The doorknobs would
turn, although there was no one on
hand to turn them.
II would be sitting quietly in my
study, writing" relates the poet,
when the door would open sound
lessly. That in itself is enough in the
dead of night to man with his imagi-
nation afiame.
ct would say to myself, as I held
my breath and watched, 1T IS only a
bit of 6raught.' But draughts do not
turn door handles, and on my life the
handle would turn as the door opened,
and there was no hand visible"

witness of these phenomena. The serv-

When your dustless mop has outlived
its usefulness. cut the old material away,
then to the frame sew discarded stock
ings. First cut the stockings into 12-
inch lengths, then at each end of these
lengths cut a fringe 4 inches deep,
leaving 4 inches in the middle uncut,
through which to sew the pieces to the
frame. Sew to the frame a suficient
number Of these lengths, or fringed
pieces, to make mop of the desired
fullness or weight. Oil the finished
mop and set it aside in a covered con-
taine- over night. You will find that
you then have a mop as good as any
for gathering dust and Frightening the
floor, and one which is easier to wash
and dry than the ordinary wool or cot
ton mop.

Word has been coming from Paris
that printed materials would not be 50
much used this Spring as they We're
a year ago, and that the majority of
the new dresses would gain distinction
through clever and often intricate
manipulation of the material rather
than through fabric design. In the
meantime such fascinating printed ma
terials are offered to us, and dresses
have appeared for Southern wear? made
of these printed materials with such
smart effect that it will be extremely
hard for Paris to put over her edict In
favor Of fewer prints. -(.f

too much last season. There were
