her quarrel with her brother. Repre

SEASONABLE HELPS
AND HINTS.
Do not in your indeer garden try to
make all the plants blom in the win-,
ter months. Let some of them rest
for early spring, when the outdoor
shrubs and trees and flowers are still
asleep, making tulips, freesia, violets,
pansies, crouses narcissi and jon
quils doubly grateful to the senses.
Plants, as well as people, need a
resting time. Among these are the
chrysanthemums. If you neglect them
a little for the next few months they
will like it much better than any
amount of coddling: will return good
for apparent ill, by being In prime
condition for cuttings next spring.
Put the plants in a cellar and keep
them rather dry and not too scrupu
lously free from dust.
Remember that, nothing is so bad
for house plants as gas and smoke.
Overheating is also injurious, hut is
less hurtful in Its effect if steam is
titled than is the furnace, with its
sudden and unexpected emissions of
coal gas and its equally harmful hab
it of almost going out in the freezing
early morning hours. The turning
yel c low and dropping off of leaves Is
often due to these causes.

her side of the story she made grave

It is maintained in the White

need but little moisture and not too
, much light. Afterward, the more

do not at any time give them too much

Where the ground is still open—
and. by the way, it has been so un
usually late this season. November
and the first half of December hav

heat—hardy trees and shrubs can
still be set out. Late as it.ls, they

HOME THRIFT OF
THE FRENCHWOMAN.
A thriflless wife Is practically un
known in France. The poorer the
husband the thriftier the wife, per
haps, but no middle or upper class
Frenchwoman who respects herself
Is ever guilty of wasting even a sou.
The great lady of the Faubourg St.
Germain and the humblest working
woman alike look after the purse
strings, and the preliminary step of
securing the: purse strings is taken,
as a matter of course, a week after
marriage. Not one Frenchman out of
a million resists.
Among the wealthy monsieur has
his allowance, Among the fairly well
off he keeps hack cash for his thre
overlings a week at the case, for the
restaurant dinner and theatre outing
once or twice a week, and for his

"Why, I did, I guess."
"How much, generally?"

In a flat. She had two sorvanta, a
maid and a general cook, who was
English— In fnrt, cockney.
The cook's ham and eggs were ex
cellent, her boiled dumplings supreme
ly good. Beyond that her science
was dim. The French lady took the
cook In hand on the second day and
made nn omelet before her eyes. The
cook sat down on a chair with a face
indicative of astonishment. Hhe said
it made her “that nervoua to see
madnnie whisk the eggs about so."
The omelet was done and ready to
serve before l lie cook had recovered.
The next morning madatne stewed,

made some auburn colored sauce.
She conjured with herbs, she Juggled
with condiments, she kept the pot on

gas stove ali the time. The cook sat
mopping her forehead for awhile.
Then she reached for her bonnet and
put It on. When the dish was done
she tied the bonnet strings, which had
hitherto been dangl'ng, and shook the
dust of the kitchen from her feet.
