If you have the slender flaring baskets with high handles they are just the things to fill with artificial blossoms or with paper flow But if you haven't, there are other baskets that can be transformed into Valen- tine baskets.

Now I know lots of things I never knew before.” And_that is very true. We grow along bothering our mothers and pes- tering our fathers, having a lovely time. Mother mends our clothes, sews on our buttons, lays out our dress clothes, sits up to give us a_warm | drink when we come in, lives for us. Father works for us. Now and then he puts in a cautious word of counsel. We think him a stodgy old | fellow, kind and all that, but a little behind the procession. He continues to save the gravy for us, help us to our favorite piece of meat or chicken, and pay our bills that might incon- venience Then we are married. And the chil- dren come. They are as a rod to our backs. In their every action, every mood, we see ourselves and we begin to think of what we must have meant to our parents all those years. How dld they ever manage to get a whole night's rest? Or didn’t they ever have one? How in the world did mother ever manage to keep all the children clothéd and fed and bathed afd taught and disciplined all the time, or didn’t she? With each phase of a child's growth we sigh and say, “Well, maybe it will be easler from now on.” And it never is. With childhood comes the troubles of school and companions and shifting moods and habits. And with adoles cence comes anxiety renewed. Now we turn to father and mother, and for the first time in all our lives know what we meant in terms of pain and fear and anxiety and love and thrilis and smiles and tears.

The New PARIS Mattress Most Economical at Y2950 RE you at a loss to know how much to pay for a mattress and what kind to buy?

Covered with attractive, enduring art, fancy stripe or narrow blue and white tick. Finished with a strong imperial edge.
