A retrousse profile would be ridiculous under it. A close-fitting back brim, like that of the Teck, is bad when the length of the head from front to back Is great. The Alexandra is likewise short in the back—that is, the frame of the hat is. But the trimming ends in the back with a large puff that fills out and breaks the severe lines. This hat is turned up at the sides toward the back. Therefore the effect of the brim is wide in front. The scarf that * trims it is a very coarse Kuzu cloth polka-dotted In blue. The dots are smail this year. The scarf lies low on the brim in front, fold upon fold of it; at the back it puffs into a huge knot caught with straps of the straw braid. The Alexandra 13 a most versatile shape—it isn’§ really trying to any face. It comes th the polka dots in different colors. The black dots are the most useful, harmonizing with any gown. The Henley is the oddest of the lot. It rolls at the somewhat after the manner of the Alexandra. The chief dif- ferenee, and an important one, is the way the brim drops in the back, fitting over the hair. Over this fall the ends of the Kuzu scarf. They are not even tied; sim- ply gathered in irregular pleats and let fall, the raw edges of them left ragged and unfinished. Twisted in with this scarf is another of silk billiant. In a warm golden brown it makes a good harmony, one that is use- ful with the tan coat. If your suit is blue, have the silk scarf to mateh. The sailors have taken it upon them- selves to tip slightly upin the front and down in the back, just as the hats do that you see aboard a man-o’'-war. They are usually trimmed in the front with an immense Alsatian bow, that is wider even than the hat. The Ascot in front.

The Lipton is a charming affair when looked upon from one side; from the oth- er it is & plain sailor without any part ular beauty. That e of the curses of most of this yeay's hats, anyway. They demand that a woman go about turning her left cheek to all the world, whether or nét she be smitten upon the other. They insist that she seek the right side of the church and the theater, so that the rest of the audience may gaze upon her left side. And we can’t all sit on the right side of the house—what are we going to do about it? The Lipton is a moderately broad- brimmed sailor, like the Ascot and the York. Its brim is turned directly up at the left side and fastened there, or ap- parently so, by a big one-looped bow which the scarf forms. The bow Is tied as the amateur can never tie it. These lit- tle touches are what mark a hat as smart —and they are what we pay for in buying. The materials are an iniinitesimal proper- tion of the price. We pay for skill which we cannot copy at home. The scarf of the Lipton is stitched in ornamental bands at the ends. Strong blue is the color of the thread used. It is a coarse thread. It gives the only touch of color to the neutral tints of the hat. The prices of these tailor hats run from $5 to $8 50. The latter is the price of the Coronation. It seems a fabulous sum to pay for a straw frame, a bit of silk and four wings; but if you raise objections the makers will ask you what you can copy it for yourself. And you kno¥ very well that you must throw up your hands. takes upon its Proper Way to HE ranks of the amateur flower- growers swell annually, and that the number is riot larger is probably due to the lack of knowledge on the subject. “Luck’” as a factor in suc- ¢c..1ul floriculture is becoming more and more discredited, and common sense, com- bined with a lfttle labor and a growing experience, are making veritable bowers of beauty of what would otherwise be cheerless rooms. The immense pleasure derived from the wealth of bloom of some choice plant or plants, perhaps received as a gift during the holiday season, generally gives rise to a desire to keep it or them in a healthy condition for future blooming periods. The first and most important considera- tion is the temperature of the rooms | where plants are kept. The extremely Yry heat of the average living room dur- ing the daytime, and the chilly drafts entering around the windows on cold nights, are more often responsible for the quick death of our tioral pets than the florists from -whom they are secured. Dry heat causes two serious difficulties, namely, a forced and consequent weak and spindling growth and the rapid in- crease of plant insects and parasites. This can be overcome in a great measure by occasionally spraying the plants on bright days, and by constantly Keeping 2 pan or other flat vessel filled wigh water on the register or heater. The oisture re- sulting from the evaporation will make the air of the room more agreeable for human beings as well as for the plants. The best plan, however, is to keep the plants in a room where the warmth comes in from some other part of the house through a connecting doorway. Cold drafts eoming airectly In contact with the plants, particularly at night, generally result in a bad attack of mildew, if not in the prompt loss of plants. If for any reason it is impossible to remove the plants from the window every night during extremely cold weather, they may be protected by placing several thick- — Qare for Plants. nesses of old newspapers between the pots and the giass at nightfall, with one or two sheets directly over and on top of the plants. . The next item ofs importance is the watering. All plant® require less water during severe weather than at other times; in fact, some of them, like cacti and other succulents, need 'practically none in winter. Do not water plants by set rules, every day or even every other day. Give water only when it is neces- sary to keep the soil from drying out; have it lukewarm, and apply It only in the morning, pever at night. Place your plants where they e all the sunshine possible during the shocr winter days. Give them fresh air by low. ering the upper sash of a nearby window an inch or two, or by opening a distant door for a few minutes on bright warn days. The leaves of a plant are its lun‘xs and an occasional sponging off not ouiy brightens the color but opens the porey and imparts added vigor. Last, but not least, give them an occasional dose of plant food. There are many good kinds on_the market, clean, free from odor ana easily applied ‘according to dir the box or package. = - Have you ever noticed a’ plant crooked, or with its leaves all ‘;3';'.'.5 side?

Therefore make it a rule 1o turn the pots cowmpietely around evers few days, and it will be easy to keep the plants shapely.
