The interesting part for the effect that they have from within the room.

Our most immediate concern today is with the containerd, or “boxes,” so called, their construction and decorative pos sibilities. 15 seen Construct on. Unless vou have given the subject some thought you may not know that all well constructed window boxes are in twoSections. There is usually a zinc holder for the flowers and earth and a wooden or wicker container in which this is placed. The reason for having two compurtments is for the sake of ventilation and drainage. The roots of the plants would rot if there were no opportunity for the water to drain off, so there are holes small, but sufficient, n the inner container. In order that the water may have a space into which to d slightly raised from the second, with slats of wood or anything to lift it. An improvised window box is made (rom any single container of good pro- portions with ordinary flower pots set inside. FFor the sake of effect the tops of the pots may be covered with a lay er of moss. Window boxes may depend merely upon the outer window ledge for sup- dort if the ledge is wide enough, but if there is the slightest danger of the box being insecure it will endanger he lives of persons passing below, nless brackets are arranged for its support. This is a wise precaution. A painted window box can be attra rated at home.

No woman who can remember the fashions of the first decade of this century need be told of the neck rib- bon, as it was known at that time. Neck ribbons women were forever buying. What between women's neck ribbons and little girls’ hair ribbons the ribbon counters were kept pretty busy. Iirst, they were worn without any protection, right against the neck. Then there were little tabs that were sewed on the ribbons at the place where they touched the neck. The ribbon was then brought around to the front and tied In the sort of bow that at the moment was considered smartest. After that ruching came into fashion and we went to great pains to sew ruching into our neck ribbons. Always, of course, the rib- on was pinned securely down in front ‘and in order to keep it In perfect trim it had to be pinned at the back after it was tied. We wore these rib- bons as a sort of finish to the shirt walst, which was every woman's everyday dress of those days. Now we have neck ribbons sneaking back into fashion again, and there are little flappers who haven't the slight- est recollection of neck ribbons as their mothers once wore them who are actually wearing them. . A favorite contrivance is to have the neck ribbon to match the ribbon that simply trims a simple hat, and to tle this around the neck with small loops and long ends. This is consid ered a clever way to top off the smart little tailored suit that slender young American girls can wear so well.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Young Man Afraid of Matrimony—Shall She “Be Herself” or Imitate Baby Vamps?—Right to Interfere in Daughter’s Choice. AR MISS DI 1 have met a young woman in business who has by is beautiful, and has a wonderful personality. and day, to do so.

So if you want to save yourself. you had better fle | far ‘as possible from the young woman who has beauty and brains and personality. That is a combination dangerous to any man's peace of mind. | But why take to the tall timber at the mere mention of matrimony Of course. there are risks in it. but so there are in everything else worth having.

Nobody will deny that there are worries and troubles in marriage. The | man who marries must sacrifice his own individual tastes and comforts to his wife and children. He must spend the money he makes on his family lns(e‘ul‘ of on himself. It is tiresome to walk the colic at night. Children are | worrisome. Wives are often unreasonable.

Sometimes I try to do this, too, but it doesn't seem to work. What shall | I do? Just be myself, or try to imitate somebody else? JUST PATTY.. | Answer: Be yourself, Patty, be yourself. All imitations are poor stuff and there is nothing so foolish as to understudy another girl's role. You can’'t pull it off. It always rings hollow, and shows it isn't the real thing Personality is a queer thing, Patty. Nobody knows why the thing that seems cute and funny when one girl does it is coarse and vulgar when another glrl does it. Nobody knows why one man can clown and be funny, and another one who does the identical thing be a blithering ass. It is just o. ‘When a quiet girl attempts to be lively and vivacious, tears because she overdoes it. She is so afraid she won't talk enough she babbles incessantly. She has no sense of humor, so she giggles in the wrong places, and she wearifes us to death by her jumping around.

Therefore, instead of trying to imitate somebody else, play up your own personality. Make the most of yourself. Be natural. There is no other charm greater than that. As for popularity, that's as happens. Just as many men like vivacious girls as like demure ones. DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: Tam 22 years of age, and am in love with a young man of 26. He is ambitious, of good character, and well liked, but my mother disapproves of him and has forbidden me to see him. My mother has also picked out a man for me to marry, who is far inferior in every way to the man of my choice. I dislike this man ‘very much. I don't like to deceive my mother by meeting the man T love secretly, but it seems to me that she has left me no other. alternative. What do you think? HENRIETTA. Answer: I think that a girl of 22 is old enough to decide such a matter | for herself, and that unless her mother has absolute proof that the young man with whom she is in love is of bad moral character, or a ne'er-do-well, the mother has no right to interfere. Still less has she a ¥ight to_force the man of her own choice on her daughter. A girl of 22 has arrived at the years of discretion. She is mature enough to know what she wants in a man. She is wise enough to weigh values and to form a very good idea of what sort of a husband a man is likely to make. And if she has settled on a good honest chap that she loves, and who lov her, mother should give them her blessing. It doesn’t matter a whit that the young man doesn't fire mother’s fancy, or come up to her ideal, or that he can't give the girl the sort of life th: mother prefers. It is the girl who is marrying the man and who will have to live with him, and not mother, and the important thing is for the girl to be pleased and get what she wants, instead of pleasing mother. Which is a simple fact that mother often falls to take into consideration. In this particular case, Henrietta, I can only give you David Crockett's motto by way of advice: ‘“‘Be sure you're right, then go ahead.” If your mother is justified in her objection to the young man, give him up. Listen to her. But if you are sure you are right, and the young man is all right, then don’'t let her break off your engagement because of her prejudice. DOROTHY DI | take he (Copyright, 1925.)

You see, it was discovered by Farmer Brown's Boy not long after it had been started by the careless throwing of a burning cigarette from an automobile into the dry leaves beside the road. Farmer Brown's Boy ran to the r;4»).»|y|mnv and led all the neighbofs to come at once to help fight the Red Terro¥. Far, far into the night they fought it, and at last they conquered it. Late in the afternoon of the second day after the Red Terror Jimmy Skunk went over to see what the Red Terror had done. When he came to > old road that wound through the een Forest he was filled with a at sadness. On one side of the road all was green, the beautiful green of living trees and plants and ferns. Just across the road all was black. There was no living thing. Bare of leaves and black stood the trees, little and big, and the bushes. For a long time Jinuny stood looking at it mournfully and thinking how he had seen the very start of all this. Knowing no better, he thought that the Red Terror had purposely been let loose That wo-legged creature threw the Red Terror out of the thing in which he was riding,” muttered Jimmy, meaning the man in the automobile who had tossed out the burning cigar- must be he wanted to destroy OF LEAVES AND TOOD THE TREF BLACK cen Forest and all who live in How terrible some of these two- ed cre s are! None of the ople of the Green Forest or the 1 Meadows would even dream of doing such a terrible thing.” Presently Jimmy crossed the road and rather gingerly began looking out to see what the Red Terror had left. It seemed to him that nothing worth while was left. he Red Terror had eaten all plants, even down to the roots. He couldn’t find one living thing, and as he looked at the ashes beneath his feet he wondered what Old Mother Nature would do about it how she possibly could ever make that black waste look green again. It would 1 long time, a long, long time. He was sure of that Just why he kept on he couldn’t have said. But keep on he did for a short distance, all the time talking to himself. “Dreadful! Oh, dreadful!” he exclaimed as he looked up the black trunk of tall pine tree. ‘That tree started to grow in the days of my great -great - great - great - grandfather, and now look at it! In just a few min- utes the Red Terror had killed it, and there it stands, black and dreadful to look- at, and perkaps.there never will be another tree to take its--place. Hello! What's this?"

Now, the fire had, of course, cooked or partly cooked those eggs. Jimmy reached out a black hand and pulled one to him. The shell was cracked. You may be sure it didn’t take him long to find out that that egg was good to eat. He smacked his lips as the last of it disappeared and reached for an- other. “Even the Red Terror has some good in it,” muttered Jimmy Skunk. But Mrs. Grouse wouldn't agreed with Jimmy, I am sure.
