Its use—but the service tells its story: Mrs. Lansburgn and her mother, the women of the household, lighted the tapers in the candelabrum on the table. Evening was come and guests were expected. In the glowing light of the burning wicks was seen a vase con- taining a variety of green sprouts. A pleasing fragrance arose from them and permeated the air in the succo.
