Vests Fit All
Moods, Seasons
By BETH MOHR
Copley News Service \
Vests never seem to go out of
fashion. Their ability to fit
moods of tailored elegance or
casual nonchalance carries
than from season to season.
This year they are both dan-
dyish and sporty.
I Hie dandies are . precisely
tailored for neat fit,;ending at
the Waistline with or without
pointed hemlines. For day,
they belong with those classic
suits welcomed back in greater
numbers this year. For
evening, they are in rich satins,
velvets and brocades to lend
notes of casual elegance to long
skirts and feminine blouses.
Sportswear vests play it
across the board in a variety of
silhouettes and lengths. They
belong to coordinated groups,
to match other separates, or go
it alone to brighten outfits with
an accent all their own.
Many of the sporty vests copy
lines from jackets. Long and
easily shaped, they close with
either buttons or zippers. They
take back interest from single
or double vents, half belts or
straight uncluttered lines.
Crocheted and knitted vests
are the youngest and most
colorful, created of multihued
yarns. Boleros, cropped short
to show off waistlines nipped in
by belts or snug waistbands,
are designed for both sports
and evening wear.
BITS OF WISDON
He who waits to do a great
deal of good at once will never
do anything.

Houseplants Add
Beauty To Home
COLLEGE STATION -
You can add beauty and
enjoyment to your home with
easy care houseplants — even if
you don’t have a green thumb,
reports Pat Bradshaw,
Extension housing and home
furnishings specialist at Texas
A&M University.
Feathery dracena marginata
is. a popular houseplant that
suits any decor and is tops in
adapting to various home
conditions, Miss Bradshaw
says. The plant is available as
small single-stem specimens or
as multi-trunked ones of most
any height you want. The
stems bend in odd directions as
they grow. If you want a
sculpbiial., effect, select._ a tall
plant wph slow growth. T
v water a*'" feathery dracepa;
twice a week or when the soil
dries, depending on pot size,
she suggests. This rule applies
to all plants, though some
(including the feathery
dracena) can run drier than
others. If the foliage feels soft
or droops unnaturally, give the
plant a drink of water.
Norfolk Island pine with its
tiered growth is a good
conversational piece for your
home, Miss Bradshaw notes.
Popular in Victorian times, the
pine faded out of style but is
now favored again for its
unusual form, slow growth and
tolerance of dry conditions in
the home. The houseplant will
thrive anywhere except in a
totally dark corner, but will do
better if moved occasionally
into bright light — but not full
sun — for a few days at a time.
Be careful not to kill the
pine with kindness, Miss
Bradshaw cautions. Water with
one cup only every two or
three days. If you skip
watering, the plant won’t
suffer.
Another good houseplant is
the sansevieria in rosette shape,
the specialist says. The more
common, taller growing variety
is called snake plant. Hahn’s
variety is equally durable and is
useful in limited space since it
is small and low. And it doesn’t
have to be propagated; it
propagates itself by sending
out suckers to the side. When
these suckers develop their
own roots, they can be cut and
potted individually.
Water sansevierias lightly
once a week and no more, Miss
Bradshaw says. Sansevierias can
get quite dry without suffering.
If you’re going on a two-week
vacation, the plant will survive
without any difficulty.
If looking for a plant that
cascades or climbs, the
specialist suggests selecting
devil’s ivy. Devil’s ivy can be
grown in a loose soil misture or
in plain water; the roots are
interesting in a clear glass
container. The ivy’s leaves can
reach a tremendous size,
except when grown in the
house. The plant, then, won’t
grow out of proportion with
interior surroundings. If it has
grown too long or tall for the
desired effect, cut off pieces
with two to four leaves and
root them in water, sand or a
peat moss mixture.
