D. D. D- I have seen several Inquiries about ferns in your column, but none Just like mine, so If you will please help me out I will be very grateful. I have a Boston fern. It was green and flourishing.

All of a sudden it died. The leaves turned brown and aU fell off. Did I water It too much? I think: the drainage waa imperfect. I have cat off every frond. They were leafless.

Now what shall I do with it? Will It grow again? I see you mentioned fern food. I tried to get some from a florist but he never heard of such a thing. My plant has always had plenty of fresh air. Answer Your fern, if the fronds were becoming dry and falling off, as probably covered with scale. Cutting it back was the only treatment.

Now If you remove the plant to a light, cool place, repot It and givt it some stimulation in the form of liquid manure, it will at once begin sending up healthy fronds. Water it only when you see that the soil is quite dry. Whenever you give it water give it a sufficient quantity to saturate every particle of soil. Anything that provides the nutritive principles so necessary to all plant life might bd spoken of as plant food. For example, liquid manure, bonemeal or leafmold.

Question. Constant Reader I want to thank you for your helpful column. My two by four looks better this year than it has looked in the 11 years I have had it, many thanks to you. I have made a garden book of your articles. But there is a fly in my ointment.

I planted a package of aster seeds and I think it has turned out to be tares. I tended them with loving care and have indeed a bumper crop. I am Inclosing a sample. Will you please tell me what they are? I want to destroy them before harvest if they are only weeds. Answer Your letter is most stimulating.

The best garden you have had in 11 years! This should encourage every reader of this column to "go thou and do likewise." The sprig you inclosed I really think was a weed, but it Is hard to identify any plant from so small a piece. Question, James N.

Helen Worth, I am going to bo honest enouuh to promise the man I have chosen that I will cleave 'o him only so long as my love will allow me to do naught else.

Na. he did not ask this of roe; he wants to have it all orthodox and regular Fortunatelv, I have succeeded In convincing him thBt I am in earnest, and, very shortly, we shall take up our abode in the charming little home we have prepared. I have no misgivings, no fears. I am not anxious. Many a thoroughly married woman has awakened to the sorrowful fact that some other woman has "robbed" her of her husband's affection.

If not of his support. Should the time ever come when my husband ceases to be satisfied with my companionship I shall not fail to accept any of the blame which belongs to me. You ask why I am writing this, as you will perceive that the die is cast, my decision is made. Whether my course appears right or wrong to others matters to me not at all. I know that I am about to do that which seems honest and right to me.

No, I am asking neither advice nor approbation. But I have long read your column with interest. Your answers are always honestly given, I am sure. I know full well that you will not agree with me but I do want to see what your arguments will be for the absurd and antiquated Institution of marriage. And I want to ask you to think very carefully before you reply.

CONFIDENT AND HAPPY. My dear "Confident and Happy" May you always remain sol But how, I ask you. will you explain to your children the lack of a surname? What of the social ostracism bound to affect their young lives, even though you two care not? Who will assume the financial obligation of the child's support? You have started something, and I shall be Interested in hearing what the moderns and likewise the older generation, think on this subject. HELEN WORTH. Continue to Go Out with Present Young Man.

Dear Helen Worth Having written you before and received an answer through your column in The Eagle, I feel encouraged to write again. I told yovi before about a fellow loved and who threw rre down for a younger girl of the flapper style. I am young myself, being only 23. This fellow threw me over eight months ago. I thought it would bs easier to forget, but I find it very, very hard.

He still goes with this other girl and 6eems very much taken up with her. Her folks are encouraging them along a great deal. In spite of the way he treated me, I still love him. Another fellow whom I threw over long time ago is now taking me out and has been for a couple or three months. He loves me, but I don't care for him in the least.

We never mention the other fellow's nams or affairs, as they were pals and still are. He is good to me, takes me out often. He is a respected and very active church member and holds a good position. He is a quiet, easy-going fellow. He doesn't dance or sine, neither does he smoke, drink or swear.

He really is an ideal fellow, but hasn't much personality. Why can't I care Just a little for him? Should I tell him I don't care for him? Or go with him and try to care for him? I like to go out, and It I give him up I would be more lonesome and blue, as there are no young men near where I live.

The Food that Makes the Man A When the majority of us select a travel costume, we do not intend that after the trip it shall be stowed away with our hatbox, our snapshots and our sea-sick remedy.

Even an ex tended more journey should not leave a carefully cnosen outfit too limp and worn and travel-stained to resume ita place in society. And since the smartest woman is not the quick change artist, but the person who contrives one wardrobe to fit many occasions, we should plan a travel costume that may come correctly back to business, shopping or whatever informal daytime occasion the owner requires. Quaint, Colorful Woman Who There was a time when ash-trays were not orly not expected to be decorative, but were merely tolerated in the home along with the odor of tobacco. But as women have refined the smoking habit, they have caused the accessaries attendant upon it to be beautified until ash-trays are as colorful, delicate In material and as varied in shape as any article of a modern feminine dressing table. In fact, no dossing table is complete without an ash-tray and it must, of course, harmonize with the general dainty decorative scheme of the boudoir.

Sets Are Popular. Sets of ashJtrays are popular with women, for, after all, smoking with them is more of a social gesture than It is a perricious habit, and a solitary ash-tray is Insufficient for their needs. Colored glass sets from Czechoslovakia embossed with tiny figures and stacked in beieweled racks are representative of this popular style of ash-receiver. Modernistic Animals Are Colorful. Small tables frequently need in teresting ornaments to disguise their utilitarian purpose, and this Is the function of the ash-tray.

Bits of pottery, often exotlcauy colored, in the form of modernistic animals, are much In vogue for this purpose. The elephant is the most popular animal, but pigs, dogs and birds of the barn, yard, cocks, ducks and geese are also used. Tiny figures of quaintly dressed peasants mTc also seen in tnis pot tery.

Is this the proper time to separate phloxes and should they be divided Into a number of small columns and planted a few inches apart? Answer Phloxes are propagated by division of the dumps. This should only be done once in every three wars. You can do this work in the fall or in the earliest spring, before the irrowth has started, or at least before very much has started. Divide a large clump into four pieces. Plant these one foot apart each way.

Question. Mrs. H. B. Will you kindly advise me what to do with our hydrangeas, as neither bloomed this year? Also concerning our daffodils.

The bulbs were planted in the fall of 1925. Last year, 1926. they bloomed; spring of 1927 only a few bloomed. I have never disturbed the bed. We live on low ground but have no trouble with other plants.

Answer Please write again, telling me whether your hydrangeas are ths shrub or plant variety. These two varieties are treated quite differently. Daffodils have a habit of blooming spasmodically, especially if planted in ground that is not well drained. I would lift them this fall and try and find some higher ground In which to set them. I would also suggest that you cover them with at least three inches of well-rotted manure.

I am 19 years old and weigh 118 pounds. 2. My hair is brown and very curly. For a day or so after washing it is a light brown, but becomes dark soon. I want it light to contrast with my dark brown eyes, and yet I do not want to bleach it with peroxide, as that is harmful to the hair.

Can you suggest a mild, harmless bleach for it? CURLY. Answer 1. You forgot to state your height so that I cannot Judge whether or not you are too heavy. If you are 5 feet 1 or 2 inches tall, your weight is correct. Unless your hips measure more than 36 inches and you are very short in stature, they're not too wide.

Many girls nowadays want to have straight, hlpless figures, like a boy, but Mother Nature makes the widest part of the feminine figure at the hips. It will do you no harm, however, to do exercises for making the muscles on the nips firm. Rolling exercises are good for the purpose Place a padded quilt or thin mattress on the floor and lie on it on your right side. Keeping vour back and knee straight, swing the left leg forward as far as you can and touch the floor with your pointed toe. Now swing the leg back.

Repeat the forward and backward swings, letting your body roll on the riht hip. Turn over and repeat on the other side. You will find other hip reducing exercises in my leaflet. "Beauty Exercises," which I shall be glad to send you on receipt of a stamped, self-addressed envelope. 2.

In my opinion you are foolish to want to bleach your pretty, curly brown hair. Dark hair and eyes are Just as attractive as dark eyes and light hair. If you do bleach the ends you will find that the hair keeps on growing out dark at the roots so that you will have to nave it retouched regularly near the scalp. The only thing I would recommend in your case is a mild lemon or henna rinse. They are used as final rinses after your shampoo.

To make the lemon, mix one tablespoorful of strained lemon Juice in one quart of water. The henna rinse that brings out' the' bronze lights In dark hair is made by brewing two ounces of dried henna leaves in one quart of boiling water. Let the mixture stand until cool and then strain it. Dilute the mixture with water if you want It lighter in shade. Lois Leeds will answer beauty queries through the columns of The Eagle.
