New Arrival Among Coats.
A ne.? arrival among coats fore
shadows no radical change in the
styles which are expected to prevail
with the coming of fall. Except for a
little additional length it might be
classed as n model designed for spring.
It envelops the figure as completely,
with a collar high enough to more
than cover the neck, ainp'o width and
a length of skirt that is only six
Inches shorter than the dress worn
under it. There are big patch pockets
and a rather narrow belt that extends
only ncross the front of the coat. The
coats of spring fastened at the waist
line, however, while this one extends
its line of ; buttons half way or more
down the front.
The morlel pictured Is shown in tan.
blue, mustard color, brown, and in
tndistinct mixture. It is bordered at
the bottom with a band of black satin.

As Worn by Conservative Brides.
If the bride is one of those who
likes to be conservative in the styles
selected "for her gown and veil she
may wear the veil as shown in the
picture. The wreath Is arranged in
the fashion of a coronet and the veil
envelops the figure. Other styles
may come and go, but this one goes
on forever. Perhaps that is because
the wreati suggests a crown and be
cause the arrangement of it is almost
universally becoming.
For the bride who decides that
pomefliing new suits her personality
better, or Is better suited to the sort
of wedding she elects to have, there
are many piquant and novel ways for
mounting the wedding veil. In nearly
all of them little caps of lace support
the tulle, but there are caps of tulle,
t-aps of pearl beads, or even hats of
tulle, from which the veil, always am
ple, floats about the figure. One of
the prettiest drapes has a little close
fitting cap of fine lace like a "Iiaby
Stuart" cap. The veil is draped over
this so that a short length of it falls
over th'. face, barely reaching to the
chin. It is caught to the lace cap at
each side by small sprays cf orange
blossom and there is a slender half
Wreath of them brought from one side
and the cults and collar are ot the
same material. The cuffs are notice
ably smaller thau those on coats of i
the current seaso and the raglan ;
sleeves promise a continuance of the j
vogue for them which has been so
useful to designers. It has helped
them in getting the required flare, in
making variety in models, and assures
easy adjustment In the garment.
The coat pictured Is of a kind that
will prove useful to the motorist and
serve for almost any wear. If one
must choose at this between-sea sons
time it is a model worth copying. In
fact such a coat may be relied upon
for several seasons' wear without ap
pearing old-fashioned. The materials
used in it are lasting and the style

to I he other across the back,
long veil at the back fulls from
Thq
this
wreath to the end of the train.
Another drape which brides of this
summer favor employs a band about
the brows and head as a support for
the veil. This band may be of white
satin or of cloth-of-silver or of some
small blossom 'set close and flat to it
The veil Is laid in close high plaits
extending across the back from tem
ple to temple. They are graduated hi
height so tktit they are tallest at the
center of the back. The very short
veil over the face is the newest ol
all. with ir. supporting cap of lace.
Hut whatever style the bride may se
lect after experimenting with several,
she has the comforting assurance thai
nothing else In the world Is quite so
becoming as a Wedding veil.
Yellow Piano Keys.
Dampen n soft cloth with alcohol
and wipe off the keys, rubbing, with
the grain of the ivory. If they are
much sallowed, wet strips of Canton
flannel with oxalic add and lay upon
the keys. Be careful not to get he
strips so wet that the acid will drip
upon the wood of the piano. Leavt
them upon the ivory until they are dry.

Exercise of a Little Common Sense
Will Do Away With Much
Discomfort.
When one must move, begin with
the small, out-of-sight tasks that will
not render the house untidy and un
comfortable long before leaving it. A
little thought and a look around the

For Instance, stuff in the pantry, in
the storeroom, euperabundant grocery
(supplies, temporarily discarded cloth

and a thousand other thing?, all of
which. can be dbdodged without de
stroying the appearance of the house

TOO MUCH WATER KILLS
PLANTS
By LIMA R. ROSE.
Mere plants in the window garden
are killed every year by overwatering
than in any other way. Some persons
labor under the delusion that water
must be applied daily, and the conse
quence is their plants are literally
drowned out, unless they happen to
have the best drainage.
Others go on the "little-and-often"
plan that is, they apply water in
small quantities whenever they hap
pen to think of it.
The result is the surface of the soil
is kept moist and from this the owner
takes it for granted that the soil be
neath must be properly damp.
Nine times out of ten examination
will show that an inch or two below
the surface the soil Is dry. Of course
the roots of the plants cannot do their
work under such conditions. The plant

trouble.
, Now, in watering plants several
things have to be considered. First,
the nature of the plant. Some like a
good deal of water, others only a mod
erate amount.
Second, the soil. A close, loamy soil
dries out slowly, therefore it will not
require as frequent or as large appli
cations as a light porous soil from
which moisture evaporates rapidly.
Third, location and exposure must
be taken into consideration. Plants in
the sun or a very warm place, will
need a good deal more water than
those in full or partial shade or a low
temperature.
Fourth, the size of the pot must be
reckoned with. The soil in a large pot
will not dry out for two or three days,
but the soil in a small pot will become
quite dry every day.
Fifth, a dormant plant requires but
little water. It is not in a condition
to make use of much water and an
oversupply of it will surely result' In
harm. When the plant begins to grow
then increase the quantity and propor
tion this to the development made.
All these things must receive due
consideration by the amateur who
would know how to care for his or her
plants intelligently.
Study them. Experiment with them.
In this way you soon become familiar
with the individuality of each one and
ycu will be able to give to each the
care it needs.
We are often asked for some rules
for watering plants. It i3 impossible to
make any rule that can be followed
strictly.
The only rulo I have ever been able
to give i3 this: When the surface of
the soil looks dry, water. Use enough
to thoroughly saturate all the soil In
the pot.
You can tell about this by the es

Is Devoted to Prize Orchids for th
and Family.
cape of some at the bottom of the pot.
Then wait until the dry look appears
on the surface again and apply water
as before.
But, as I have said, one will have to
modify this rule to fit the conditions.
It is a general rule, subject to such
change as may appear necessary to
the intelligent plant grower, who does
not believe in treating all the plants
exactly alike.
Give fertilizers to growing plants
only. A plant standing still needs
none and will be injured by the appli
cations of the food it is not in condi
tion to make use of.
. WORK ON THE LAWN
How are the lawn and' homa
grounds in general? Are they all that
should make Bummer home life enjoy
able and a pleasing sight to the pass
erby? If the lawn is patchy and bare in
spots, keep on seeding it the whole
summer through; the seed will final
ly catch' and fill up the bare places.
White clover is a fine lawn plant,
but many find that it dies out after a
few years. White clover, as all the
clovers, is a biennial, completely dy
ing after the second year. If the lawn
is kept closely clipped, white clover
seed should be sown each fall or
spring to insure a permanent stand.
The same result may be secured by
not mowing in the fall, allowing the
plants to blossom and seed.
PLAN FOR BEAUTY
Plan for beauty, then work unceas
ingly for the plan.
Let your light shine in the back
yard, that there shall be nothing hid
den. Have grass and shrubbery in the
back, rather than rubbish.
Some of the prettiest things in the
way of plants, vines and shrubs
should be in sight of the kitchen win
dow. Hardy azaleas are among our most
brilliant, hardy shrubs.
All the spireas, herbaceous or shrub,
are beautiful and hardy.
Let your kitchen window be a pic
ture frame. Let the picture frame be
green things growing.
Let the green things be something
beside burdock, jimpson weeds or
cockle burs.
Plant to screen the ugly views from
the back door. Vines will do it.
Gst a root of the trumpet-creeper
from the woods and plant it in tho
back yard.
Set a strong stake beside it, and
keep the vine cut back ifntil the
"shrub" habit is formed. It is beau
tiful. The trumpet-creeper will not spread
unless you cut its roots. When you
do you won't have to import any more.

Seals Can Drown.
It is a curious fact that the fur seal
was once a land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid of water;
thev would drown if thrown Into It,
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they soon
forget to walk.
There are in existence only two Im
portant herds of fur 'seals, one of
which has its breeding ground In the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus
sia, the other In the Pribilof islands,
belonging to the United States. Of
these the latter is much the larger.
The Pribilof Islands are government
property, and thus It happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner of by far the most valuable
herd of fur seals in the world. .
