Caring for House Plants IVING plants too much watar s one of the principal rea- sons why many persons MR cannot make them thrive in- doors during the winter, says a florist. For while all potted roots require an even molsture, con- sant wetness will cause roots to rot; an even dampness 1s likely, other con- ditions being favorable, (o make them thrive. It 1s probable that plants potted by florists will be ccrrectly done, which means drainage is left at the bottom. For over the hole a bit of broken pottery is laid, which will hold in the soll, while permitting superfiuous water to run off. This will equalize molsture If water Is put on every day; that s, too great wetness will be prevented Under no condition must a root be put Into a metal recoptacle or in any vessel through which there no ehance for water to evaporate. All vases must be In pottery that is made for the purpose, for without evaporation the plants cannot thrive, Pots themselves may be placed In fancy recepiacles of brass, sopper or wire, without the slightest injury to roof Attention must be given dally, how- ever, that water is not lcft standing in the bottom of such jars, for, should the pots be permitted to remain In it, continual wetness will infallibly cause rot. Every other day the fancy holder must be looked Into and any water it contains poured off. When this condition has existed the pot will not require more water that day, for the root is already damp. A good rule for watering is, each day to pour over as much water as the soll will soak up Any that runs through into the saucer may be re- Jected later. As to the temperature for plants, it must be even. They require air, but a cold wind blowing directly on them will kill, and it is extremely probable that if the thermometer is allowed to fall to & marked degree in the room the growth will perish, even though the draught may not have been a direct one. The ordinary steam heated room is an impossible place for plants, because the temperature is kept at an unhealthy ~degree. Persons might really regulate the heat for them- selves by that in which house plants flourish—It it agrees with flowers it is apt to be correct for them. If it becomes necessary to change the tem- perature at night the pots must be ry moved and not returned in the morn- ing until the air has become that to which the plants are accustomed. such Kansas City and Julian carrying yellow satin ribbons which formed Miss Selma who wore a trimmed with valenciennes lace, and yellow satin ribbon sash, carried the matron of honor, was gowned in salmon colored satin, Miss Cora and Miss Erna Hadra of Omaha, brides- in princess gowns of yellow crepe de ¢hine, trimmed with silver They wore gold slippers and carrled The bride entered with her father and was met before an Rabbl Louls Bernstein read the marriage The bride wore a princess robe Her long tulle vell was fastened by a cluster of lilles of ‘the valley and she carried a cascade bouquet of the same flowers THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, b tied with white tulle.

One of the most important events In state club circles In many years is the Economlics association for membership on the Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs. Mrs. W. G. Whitmore of Valley is president of the home economics associ- ation, which was organized ago and 18 also chairman of the household :conomics committee of the State Federa- don of clubs. About 100 women are en- rolled in the former organization which nas been worked up under difficulties, but which 1s gradually and surely gaining strength. The members are the wives of rmers and have come together at meet- ngs auxiliary to the sessions of Organized Agrlculture held In January of eachy year at the state farm at Lincoln. Miss Rosa Bouton of the domestic science depart- ment of the University of Nebraska has had & material part in effecting and foster- ing the women's organization and both she and Mrs. Whitmore are hopeful of wide results from it. Its object Is practically what is hoped for by the commission on country life and its recent alliance with the State Federation of Women's clubs promises to materially strengthen its work. The state teachers' assoclation will prob- ably also be asked to co-operate and can andoubtedly contribute vwluable assistance. The home, the school ard the club are th alliance that has accomplished so much in every community and it is hoped to bring these three into closer assoclation in the rural districts. It is Mrs, Whitmore's hope to organize In every school district, four such organizations already being In exist- ence. The men, too, must have an impor- tant part in these organizations. In the several country women's clubs of Nebraska men have figured conspicuously as auxiliary or assoclate mambers. poses of the association, Mrs. Whitmore said: “We realize that unless some element of sociability enters into it life of the farm Is likely to become monotonous and it is |the aim of the assoclation to provide a soclal system that shall be at once edu- cating, uplifting and a force to hold young men and women on the farms."” The success of such a plan demonstrated admirably in several country women's clubs and in the alliance of the two state organizations the club women, has been | will be of material assistance in organizing the country women. Mrs. F. H. Cole, pres- ident of the state federation, is giving the |most hearty co-operation. Discussing It, she sald ‘'S0 many of our clab women in the towns of the state and |on our tarms are college women., As many of the townswomen have lived on farms, they are especially fitted to ist in the |country organizations.” | Mrs. J.

A bright red apple 1s always a pretty re- ceptacle for a salad mixture, but this has been rather frowned upon by some house- wives on account of the difficulty in keep- ing the apple free from discoloration when exposcd to the alr for any length of time. One ingenious woman successfully met this oifficulty by using no apple in the filling and, at the top, where there was any chance of (he brown appearance of the apple spolling the effect of her salad, she lined the cavity with a lettuce leat and arranged a few smaller leaves at the open- ing for decoration. None of the apple pulp showed, the mixture with which it was flled being a deliclous one of chopped cabbage with a boiled cream dressing. Very appropriately the apple may stand on a small and carefully selected cabbage leaf, curled #0 as to form almost a perfect shell outline. A tempting arrangement of fresh toma- toes 15 this: Place three slices in a row on a flat bed of lettuce leaves, having the center slice larger than the end ones. 'The large slice should be crossed dlagonally with & couple of bright green string beans with @ dot of mayonnaise at the Intersec- tion. On the smaller slices place an olive stuffed with red pepper, such as are bought in small bottles for as low as 15 cents. The olives should stand on end, so as to shyvy the red filling to the best advantage.—The Delineator. WNDY DAY FOR DOWN QUILTS Hints that Will Help to Bring Them Through the Laundry in Good Shape.

Mrs. Phipps Tells Story of Woman with Dynamite Mrs, Read, Who is Charged with Attempt to Extort Money, Lies at Point of Death. DENVER, Nov. 128elzed with violent convulsions during her trial for alleged attempt to obtain $100,00 from Mrs. Geni- veve Chandler Phipps on the threat of death by dynamite, Mrs. Allen F. Read lies at the point of death at the home of her sister, Miss Jennle Campbell, tonight. The trial will probably be suspended pend- ing her recovery. Mrs. Phipps, the complaining witness, again took the stand today and was cross- examined by Mrs. Read's attorneys. In answer to questions by Attorney Water- man regarding methods by which Mrs. Read had secured an interview with her, Mrs. Phipps sald that Mrs. Read had told her that a spy In the Phipps household, who was endeavoring to secure material for a scquel to Joseph Medill Patterson's “A Little Brother of the Rich,” had been placed there by Henry Phipps of New York, an uncle of her divorced husband, Lawrence Phipps, in the effort to prove that she regarded money far beyond her children and that she was an unfit per- son to have the custody of her two daugh- ters. Cotton comfortables do not wash satls- factorily because the filllng knots and forms hard lumps. The best plan with them when solled Is to hang them on a line in 4 shower, then when they are dry recover, putting the new goods over the old cover. There will be no real wear to it, as the under cover holds the cotton. Down quilts wash splendidly, but require a windy day or days for their drying, for when 8o treated they will be as light and fluffy as new. They are washed In the same way as directed for the wool-filled comfortables. As the edges of down quilts sofl first, it is a good plan to bind them either with a band of ribbon four or more inches wide in the predominating color of the spread, getting the kind“that will wash, or a strip of silk.

What the Ma'rkct Affords In spite of the grilling cross-examination Mrs. Phipps adhered strictly to the story which she told yesterday on' direct exami- nation. She again told the story of how ORPHEUM STRONG ON SONGS THIS WEEK Has Clever Bill of Lyrics, While Other Show Houses Tend Towards the traight Dramatic.” Peculiar thing, this show business! The Orpheum had no song hits at all last week, while musical productions abounded at the other theaters This week the situation is reversed and there are plenty of fine lyrics passed over the boards at the Orpheum, while the other houses havo none.
