The for stationery has turn hand illuminated 1in a new gui Most women can remember when the smartest stationery had a delicate de sizn in colors painted on one corner of the note paper and correspondence cards had such decoration extending vt way down from the upper left- nd corner. To have such ornaments 1e by hand was the acme of style. ‘0 have them printed in color was the next thinz Today this same idea is carried out in enzraved and hand illuminated sta- tionery. Monograms and initials are clove interwoven with designs. Needless to say this sivle of decora tion is costly. It is well to understand that the price pald is for value received and is not dependent upon the vogue, though, of course, persons expect to pay a bit more for “the very latest thing.” Dies have to be cut out in certain parts so that no color will be left where the engraving is to be illuminated. Then frequently there have to be several stampings and engraving processes to include the tones to be brought out in the ornament.

The upper end of the garden was devoted to blue, pink and lavender flowers, mingled, with white, and in the other end were grouped the yel- Jow and orange flowers, ranging from cream color to the deep orange bronze of Autumn chrysanthemums. The roses lived in a happy land of their own, which was as hould be, and the red flowers w cleverly zrouped and so mingled with white and with green shrubs that there was no clashing.” “I was wondering,” I said, “where vou were going to place the popular red geraniums which make such effec- tive borders against shrubbery and such good notes of color in the right places."” “They are always desirable, al- though nearly every one chooses red when there are such charming white and pink varieties, but. if we may, I should like to interrupt the present subject Tong enough to ask about your cbridizing experiments with gerani- zone ons “Geraniums hoth wild vated,” said Mr. Burbank, “offer won- derful opportunities to the amateur for experiment, and he may readily succeed in producing new types, colors and races of geraniums ‘with ynexpected qualities. “My experiments have been with OF HAND ILLUMINATING CAN BE GIVEN STATIONERY iNS TO STATIONERY AND TINTING instance, as | rquhart and Edited by Luther Burbank. and culti- | ‘Imes fAowers to bhe filled in with color |carrving out shades in the inter | tining. | Plain Linings. | Sometimes the lining is in a plain | tone of deep blue, dark green, richest cerise, etc. The pages of the paper | may open from left to right instead of | the usual right to left order, and the | upper left hand corner of the page he |turned over a little and lined with paper to match that used to line the envelope.

However, among them was pro- duced a fragrant variety known as coconut geranium from an Australian variety bearing great quantities of seed. The pollen of the new species was used to fertilize the rose gera- nium and success was reached in producing various varieties with wholly new perfumes.” (Coprright, 1926.) {In those places, pop sed | that old Pop was smoking and thinking and | [ ma was looking at the avvertizements in the paper, saying, Now Willyum, heer it is late in the season alreddy and vou havent bawt vourself a straw hat yvet, I think thats perfeckly dred: fil, you dont think of your appeerance at all eny more.

Much as we Georgians like to de ery the modes and manners of the Victorians, pitying our grandmothers for the circumscribed world in which they lived. there are every once in a while revivals of the art of these self-same Victorians.

You are, in a_way, a_human kaleidoscope and, without any fixed convictions change your opinions as easily and almost as frequently as you change vour clothes. You are reckless and unsettled, and rarely, if ever, stick to any task long or consistently enough to make a success of it. Just as things begin to look hopeful, you de- sist in your efforts and turn to some thing else. - Your affections are regulated by the ame influences, and constancy or ! faithfulness to one is, apparently, for- eign to your nature.

If the clothes you wear are looked over each time before they are put away, brushed, buttons tightened, ~etc., your wardrobe cannot help but be neat and in good condition at all times. Never dredge steak with salt and pepper before cooking as the salt will extract the juices. If you wish your bedroom curtains to look fresh and un- wrinkled for a considerable length of time, put a small dress hook In the lower corner of each curtain and an eve about half way up the curtain. At night when the windows are open the curtains may be fastened back with the hook and eve and cannot blow out of the window.
