RAISING PLANTS IN THE HOUSE

It you are not one of those who. as the old saying had it, needs only

a to look at a flower to make it grow,

perhaps the reason is that you do not know some very simple rules that govern the hcalth of house- plants, say the authorities.

1r your house ls dry and hot air heated, for instance, try this quar- tet on yourflowerstanmscrewpine with its cream-striped ribbon-like ‘leaves; Jade plant. so called be- cause of the color of its fleshy denves, which require little mois- ture; aucuba. which has heart- shaped mottled leaves and minds scarcely any adverse growing con- ditions; and Aspidlstra.

Like its Amazon jungle cousins, the screwpine grows 'on a stilt-like arrangement of roots. Do not be mhled by this habit, into thinking the plant is pot-bound and needs large quarmrs, however.‘ It requires little water but should be thorough- ly drenched when the soil becomes dry to the touch. And finally in watering, be careful to turn it on its side so that the water will not seitle in the crown and cause rot.

FLOWERING PLANTS

The screvvpine and jade plant al- so do well in a stream or hot- water-heated apartment. Thriving there, too you will find crotons. sediums. dracaenas .the Phoenix

palm, Rex begonia and Nephthytis,

a tropical vine with leaves like "arrowheads. , - r Doing well in shady rooms will

be‘ the Kentia palm, the Boston fern, snake plants, rubber plants and Dracaena terminahs. a dracaens, with broad leaves striped in jade and kelly green. One of the most de curative of the rubber plants, by the way, is the Ficus pandurala, with glossy, fiddle- "shaped leaves.

For a sunny window, you can let

[your choice run riot among flower-

lng plants. Some of the most satisfactory are the Kurume

asalea with its rose colored blooms.

the Primulus malacoides. hydranger

and wax plants.

DON'T WATER‘ EYERY DAY

Bome grrieral rules should be V.’ kept in mind for caring for house .

plants. Such, for example, as thal- an even daytime temperature o! from 68 to '10 degrees in the room where they are kept and from 54 to 58 degrees at night produce the best results. Also, l) not make the mistake of watering the plants every day, but prod the earth daily and when it seems dry. drew!‘ ‘he plants thoroughly. In houseplant- dom. a good weekly bath is pre- ferable to a daily rinsing. There is one exception to this rule. Fibr- ous rooted plants, such as Culcia- mens and Boston ferns, should never be allowed lo become dry-

Leaving water in the saucers makes the soil acid. You ought to loosen the top soil in the pots every 10 days and once a month it's a good idea to add some wood ashes to sweeten it.

'l‘o protect from drafts at night, put a sheet of newspaper against the window panes. Be sure to keep turning the plants so that they will develop evenly. If you must keep a potted plant near a radiator, put a board between it and the heat.

Finally, don't forget to dust your rubber, jade and other glossy leaved plants. That is. wash off the leaves with a clamp cloth.

SUBTLETY IS BEST RULE 1N MAKEUP

Obviousthings are seldom truly beautiful. A painting so subtly colored that you aren't conscious of the bright spots until you study it closely. or a dress which is glamor- ous because of its exqulsile lines and fabric will make a richer and more lastllng impression than vivid attention-getting pictures and frocks.

This is true of faces We remem- ber pleasantly the smiling girl whose rouge made her look healthy and vivacious-not smeared with paint. We remember only fleeting- ly, then not with delight, one whose face was coated with layers of rouge, mascara and powder.

It is best of course, to keep in. our mind the old rule about en-

hancing—not changing- natural coloring and features. Rouge should match the colour your

cheeks become after you have ex- ercised strenuously. Lipstick ought to harmonize with the natural warm blood tones of your lips. Pow- der must always match exactly your complexion.

‘There are, however, exceptions to the ideas of subtlety. For example, you can get away with bright red fingernail polish in anybody's drawing room these days. You can pile your hair high On your head in exaggerated Grecian manner and evoke no unfavorable com- ment. For the beach you can paint your toenails as red a: your finger- nails. In fact. you should.

Keep in mind that there's noth- ing subtle or lovely about evening hair ornaments which make you look like a Christmas tree or a. garden in full bloom. Two or three delicate sprays of flowers enhance almost any - formal , hair dress. Giant clusters of them definitely do not. A single-jewelled star or a rather fragile-looking tiara are good ideas- Don't however, be "r- suaded to wear slurs and a h?g~e tiara the same evening. You'll spoil the charm of both. .

Dickens Scored . Tight Quarters On Early Liner

LONDON. March 20-401!)- What Charles Dickens with his flowing descriptive would write about the maiden ocean crossing of the swift, palatial 73,000-ton liner Queen Mary, leaving Southampton May 27 next, can only be guessed. Dlckenslans are recalling the popu- lar author's reaction to his first voyage to l-Lalifax and Boston in January, 1842, on the, Britannia. the first of the Cunard “liners." The Britannia was a paddle- wheeler, built in 1840 at Greenock. 207 feet 1011a. with 2,050 tons dis- placement and a speed of 31-2 knots an hour. She was regarded as the very latest of her day in steam- ship equlpment and appointment. But let the immortal Dickens fell of the 12-day trip:

“I shall never forget the one- fourth serious and three-fourths comical astonishment, with which I opened the door of, and put my head into, a ‘state-room’ on board the Britannica steam packet. i200 tons burthen per register, bound for Halifax and Boston, and carry- ing her Majesty's mails.

_ “That this state-room had been Specially engaged for ‘Charles Dickens, Esquire, and Lady,‘ was rendered sufficiently clear even to my scared intellect by a very small manuscript, announcing the fact. ‘Vhlch W55 binned on a very flat quilt, covering a very thiumattress, spread like a surilcal plaster on a. most inaccessible shelf.

“But that this was the i-state- room concerning which Charla Dickens, Esquire and Lady, had held daily and nightly conferences for at least four months preceding - — - and which his lady, with a. modest yet most magnificent sense of its limited dimensions, had from the first opined would not hold more than two enormous portman- teaus in some odd corner out of sight (portmanteaus which could now no more be got in at the door, not to say stowed away. than a lliraffe could be persuaded or forced into a. flower-pot).

"That this utterly impracticable, ilwfflllshly hopeless. and foundly preposterous box had the remotest reference to. or connection with, those chaste and pretty, not to say gorgeous little bowers, sketched by a. masterly hand, in the - - - plan hanging up 1n the agent's counting-house in the city of London: that this room of state, in short, could be anything but a. pleasant fiction and cheerful Jest of the captain's - - - bring my mind to bear upon or comprhend. And I eat d wn upon a kind of horsehair slab, or perch, of which there were two within; and looked, without any

experssion of countenance what- ever, at some friends who had come on board with us. and who were endeavoring to squeeze through the small doorway." Like a. Clbrfolef.

Dickens goes on td tell of how, “by very nearly closing the door and twining in and out like serpents,

the lead into a constantly decreas- 1118 depth of water we dropped anchor in a. strange outlandish nook which nobody on board could recognize, although there was land all about us. and. so close that we could plainly see the waving branches of the ma.

“After throwing up a few rockets and firing signal-guns in the hope of being hailed from the land, or at least of seeing a light-but with- out any other sight or sound pres- enting iiself-lt was determined to send a boat on shore. 1t was amus- ing to observe how very kind some of the passengers were .ln volunteer- ing to go ashore in this sump boat; for the general good. of course; not by any means because the thought the ship in an unsafe position, or contemplated the possibility of her heellng over in case the tide were running out."

Dickens adds: "I suppose this Halifax would have appeared an Elysium though it had been a curiosity of ugly dullness. But I carried awn with me a most pleas- ant impression of the town and its inhabitants, and have preserved it to this hour. Nor was it without regret that I came home, without having found an Opportunity of re- turning thither. and once more shaking hands with the friends I made that day."

The author witnessed the open- ing of the Legislative Council and Assembly "at which the forms ob- served on the commencement of a new session of parliament in Eng- land were so closely copied, and so gravely presented on a. small scale, that it was like looking at Westminster through the wrong end of a. telescope. The military band outside the buildin ck up ‘God Save the Queen‘ th great vigor before his Excellency had quite finished; tie people shouted; the ins rubbed their hands; the outs shook their heads; the government party said there never was such a. good speech; the opposition declared there never was such a bad one."

We are told, by those who attempt. i0 convince us with their dogmatic sweeping ‘ ‘ ents rather than by 501811121110 experiment, thgt pmtglng and carbohydrates should not be included in the some musk This statement is given an air of respectability by cloaking it with what appear to be scientific garm- ents.

Such s conclusion ignores the fact the): when carbohydrates alone are eaten, there is l flow of acid digestive juices in the stomach in which the carbohydrate is thor- oughly mixed. This happens regard- less of whether or not them is a protein food in the stomach at the same time. Experiments have shown that the presence o5 a carbohydrate food does not retard the digestion of a protein food. As a matter of fact, meat and potatoes together are just as agreeable to the stomach as they are to the palate. The stomach oar- ies out its digestive functions in a remarkably constant manner with- out regard to the kinds of food present. Some stomachs empty more quickly than do others. This hap- pens in the presence of meat and potatoes, just as it does if meat alone is eaten. The addition of fat to the diet slows up the evacua- tion of ihe stomach. That is why fat foods give a sense of satisfac- tion after eating for a longer per- iod than do other foods. Many people eat too much. and if they eliminate some carbohyd- rate foods from their diet, they will likely feel better because of cutting down their food intake until it is more nearly what they need, and not because their digestion is better, or that proteins and car- bohydrates are incompatible‘. The chief danger of fsddy diets is that some food essential may be left out of the food intake. We need energy foods. Just because many persons eat too much energy food in the form of carbohydrates is no reason to think that we mn get along without the required amounts. A variety of foods is de- sirable, and there is no known reason why foods of different kinds should not be consumed at the same meal. i
