at Flower Show
Florists to Provide Great
Display at Hartford,
April z to 10

More than 100000 worth of
flowers. shrubs and all sorts of
growing plants will be on exhibit
ton In the state armory In Hart
ford from April End to 10th, in
the thirteenth national flower and
Garden show. 1t is reasonable to
expect that more than 100000 per.

the country, will find their way to
Hartford during that time to mar

Of horticultural beauty and inter-
est which will be shown by ex-

States.
OF course, in competing for the
$4,000 In prizes which has been
offered by the Society of American
Florists and Ornamental Horticul-
turalists which is sponsoring the
show, exhibitors will show their
latest achievements, their most
beautiful blooms, something quite
new, their most cherished types
and varieties. There Is always
some new variety OF blossoms or
some peculiar plant which the
lucky florist has saved to make its
debut on this important occasion.
There Is always some peculiarly
lovely hybrid that Is seen by the
public for the first time. There is
always some queer plant that has
never been seen before in this cli-
mate
From the slopes Of the Himala-
vas and the heights of the Andes
come the original plants which
have been cherished and forced,
trained and developed until they
have produced these rare and ex-
quisite blooms that are worth their
weight in gold. From the hottest
climes come the exotic flora that
will be shown In tropical gardens.
From every country on the glohc
come the simple or sophisticated
plants which will add to the variety
and charm of the display.
The whole armory will be laid
out as a formal garden, with
strong axes running the length and
width Of the hail, eliminating In

GLORIFYING

FRAGRANT THOUGHTS FOR
SPRING.
BY Alicia Hart

The latest spring vogue, and a
worthy one, Is to have all Of the
scents you use Of one fragrance.
The idea is not only to match
your powder and perfume up In
scent, but to have bath powder.
toilet water, hand lotions, creams
and so forth blend nicely, instead
Of combating each other with as
many different scents as there are
lotions.
Quite in this trend comes new
line of toilet articles that the un-
scented. Many women have bought
certain lotions and creams just be-
cause they liked their smells. This
new line refutes the belief that
that,is the only reason women buy
them. The creams, complexion
tonics, powder bases, and all the
other cosmetics in the line are ex-
quisite in texture, a pleasure to
use. though they have no fra.
GRANGE whatever.
One neat little trick that this
line allows is this: If you go In
for exotic scents, you can easily
scent this whole line to suit your
self by putting q bit of cotton with
your favorite perfumery right in-

lions will take up this fragrance,
so it is stated, and there you are,
gifted with whole line Of cos
metics, scented to suit yourself.
The outstanding contribution
that this new line makes, in my
opinion, Is a new body cream. Now
every woman with any tension In
her life knows that sometimes her
whole body feels tense and dried
up. An application Of this cream
will relieve this. Moreover, there
are always your knees, your ell
bows and shin bones that need a
bit Of softening. This body cream
Is meant for them primarily.

metics, certainly. 1t Is advisable to
select scents that more or less 60
together. The woman who uses
violet toilet water, lily of the val
ley powder. jasmine perfumery,
and creams with rose scent never
can achieve that elusive fragrance
that she might, would she stick to
one.
