Seeds should be startéd early for best floyrishings. g Cosmos give copious blossoms. When transplanted from seed grown indoors (or out) they ghould be about 12 inches apart to permit the quick-growing plants to have sufficient room for branching out.

Certainly the profusion and splendor of those blooms fs tenipting to the fingers, and prbably the arm of the law is necessary there, although the general level of the Washington public’s respect for flowers is good. was surprised, though, to hear some one say he did not like magnolias be- cause they were “heavy, tropic flow- not always sweet—but nothing couid give a more light and charming effect than the two great magnolia bushes there in the old garden; they were as gay as English hawthorne in bloom. And as for their being tropic, magno- lias cannot properly be called really tropical; they grow in Central China and the Southeastern United States at most, they might be called subtropi- cal, more properly warm-temperate. ‘These magnolias that we see in flower in old streets of Georgetown, on the White House lawn, and else- where, are none of them native Amer- fcans. All the early flowering mag- nolias we owe to the Orlent, and to the indefatigable work of collectors, from early garden lovers like Robert Fortune and John Damper Parks, who gave us the wistaria and the chrysanthemum, respectively, to mod- ern plantsmen like Ernest Wilson of the Arnold Arboretum, and the ex- plorers of the Department of Agricul- ture. The beauty of the foreign mag- nolias lies in their blooming before the leaves appear.

CHAPTER XLVI Confidences. Elsie and Natalic had breakfast at 2, and after the manner of girls ex- changed confidences, Natalie discov- ered that she liked Elsle very much. It amazed her to realize how little she had known of her up to the present time. Of course, in their set there wasn't time to know any of the girls. This was really the first talk she had ever had with Elsie, and they seemed to_have a great deal in_common. They talked of Mabel Ba for Mabel,” Ni impulsively .ast night she told me some things I won't forget in a hurry. Up to the present time 1've always put her down as a sort of a brainless flirt, but I think Joe is a lot to blame and I'm sure she loves him. “They're caught like flies in the web of the times” Elsle returned “Sometimes when I'm think as 1 am this morning 1 get sick of everything, and wish 1 were out of it all. ' With all I've seen and heard I couldn't face marrlage There doesn’t seem to be anything in it. Of course, it's the thing to seem ise, sophisticated and hard-boiled about everything, but you know as well as I, Nat, that underneath we're not that way. I'd like to believe in romance, and caring for one man al ways, but what can we do with things the way they are?" They were both silent a moment and then, a little breathlessly, Elsle went on speaking: “I'd like to ask you something, and it you don't want to answer you can tell me to mind my own business. Are you in love with Lucien Bartlett? Or vou just playing around?” 'm not in love with him, and from | now on 1'm not y talie returned quickly. truthful, I didn't until this morning.

You see, we're all out after the same thing.” Natalle silent, and after a mo ment Elsie said softly:* “This may sound mawkishly sentimental, but 1'm glad you're letting up on Lucien. I know how much this freindship with vou has meant to him, but Mrs. Bart- lett has been miserable.

Dad was in Lucien's office yesterday after- noon when she telephoned frantically that the oldest boy was lll and had a high fever. She insisted that Luclen leave everything and come right out, and he did it."” Natalie drew a long breath. So that was why Jucien hadn't kept his appointment, @nd, of course, there had been no way to let her know. While she had been sitting in the hotel lobby champing at the bit and growing angrier by the minute, Lucien had been with his sick child, and she had gone on the party just to be revenged. “I think I'll call Lucien up and see how the boy is,” she sald, after a mo- ment. “Do you know, Elsle, I feel as if 1'd grown up since last night? It's the most amazing sensation. Let's go to a matineo before I grow 8o noble that my wings begin to sprout. We both need something of the kind to bring us back to earth.” Before the theater Natalle called Lucien on the wire. He was abject in his apology and wanted to see her immediately. Yes, the boy was better, but he still had some fever and was in bed. Could he see Natalle this eve- ning? He must talk to her. “T think probably your wife would have you with her this e alie suggested tranquill; “But call me up in a day or o, Lucien, and we'll have a good talk.” (Copyright. 1026.)

MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Drinking Milk. One Mother 8 I found that my little girl, who does not care much for milk, would drink it more readily from a slender orange glass. It means a second and some- times a third helping, but if she drinks her milk I am satisfied. The milk looks more attractive to her when served in the clear glass than when served in & mug, and the slender glass is also easily held in one hand, which may be one reason why she likes it.

Our Children—By Angelo Patri Little Pitchers. We are not half careful about what we say in the presence of children We forget that they have no back- ground of experience for much of what they hear and that sometimes we set the mind of a child in an attitude that will later on give him much trouble. For instance, a lady who had dropped in to chat for a few min. utes related, as she rocked comfort- ably, how, when she was about little Peter's age, she was scared to death of a big dog that lived on her street. “He was for all the world the pic. ture of that big animal the Graysons keep. The dead picture of him. Every morning when 1 went to school he tried to get over the fence at me and I used to run gasping to school and fall in a faint on the floor. Such a fear of dogs I had,” and she took another ealted almond. From then on Pcter was frightened at the mention of a dog and the sight of one xent him into storms of tears and shivers. “She said he would chase me and I know he:wants to eat me up.” All because the lady did not know that her pleasant story was polson to a listening child. Then there is the person who dra- matically deseribes a sufferer's dis. ease. It may be his own or another’s. He enters into the thing with an en- thustasm worthy of a better cause and brings temperatures and pain and high blood pressure upon even his adult listeners. But the child who is listening? “The poor thing, Nelly. She can't even lift her hand to take a drink of water. Isn’t it awful? They have to feed. her through a tube. -She is just able to swallow and no more. A NEW Flavor Light and tender, these delicious flakes of the new good food with the new good flavor.

This was soon followed by pains and aches and 4 great desire to ‘drink through a tube. “Millie, I have turned on a bath for you.

You will feel all right by then.” said mother, remembering the re citals of symptoms. “But, mother, vou wouldn't give me meat the last meal, would you?" asked Millle, solemnly. “‘You, kno what she sald about the chyrchyard. ‘I know nothing about church ards,” sald mother, tartly, “but I do know about silly little girls.
