She has a lineage to be proud of and her ehildren bid fair to become as famous as their ancestress. Her first appearance in Europe was | in the sixteenth century, when Shei decided to take up her residence there. Her birthplace was in the Orient. She was the floral emblem of Persia and her colors were copied for the royal robes that were woven of almost priceless silks and made into ex- quisite garments and drapery. S8he was not only accepted, but highly honored. Then The Nether- | lands became tulip-conscious. That | really was a time that proved to the world what a favorite this flower | was. Florists threw discretion to the winds, and bulbs, instead of bonds, were bought and sold for speculation. | Some of the more fancy bulbs brought | $1,500 to $1,800! From that time on The Netherlands have grown the most perfect bulbs, and those we have today had their birth in Holland. Few flowers are so perfect in color- ation, s0 charming to study or so sat- isfying to plant. There are so many delightful little quirts about them. | The tree petals or inner segments | of the perianth are far more beautiful in their texture and satiny surface | than you will find on the three outer | sepals. Each petal reminds you of | #oft grosgrain silk. Inspect one of the red varieties and you will find a six-pointed star at the heart of the blossom. It is usually yellow-edged or just yellow, and each point of the star is at the center of a petal or sepal. The three points on the petals will be much longer than the points on the sepals. In early Spring the small bud is snuggled down in the center of the plant. The three green sepals are standing guard over the beautiful | baby. The warm sun coaxes it to stretch up into the air. The green sepals now take on the color of the flower. By the time the tulip is in bloom there is no trace of green on the sepals at all. But don’t let that fool you, they are still sepals for they surround the petals. Each one of them stands out, making the blossom triangular in shape when you peep into it. 11:30 11:45 ) |News—Nignt Owl |Arthur Reilly [Midnight Frolie 'Slumber Hour - .

HERE is nothing more foolish in the world than envy. It gains no one anything, but it does make discontent and takes away happiness. He who without envy rejoices in the good fortune of another is far more likely to experience good fortune himself than is one who is envious. Peter Rabbit had most of his life been envious of his big cousin, Jumper the Hare, envious because Jumper had a pure white coat in Winter. When Jumper sat still on the snow it was almost impossible to see him. That is, it was almost im- possible to recognize him, unless you happened to know he was there.

The most recent mixed championship was played in New York City and resulted in & victory for Miss Helen Bonwit and Howard Schenken of New York, play- ing with Mrs. Humphrey Wagar and Henry Chanin of Atlanta.

By means of this trump end-play, Mrs. Wagar had fulfilled her con- tract, reducing to one what appeared to be two sure trump losers. (Copyright, 1937.)

FOCHT FUNERAL DETAILS ARRANGED House Committee to Attend Serv- ices for Pennsylvania Republican. Puneral services for Representative Benjamin K. Focht, 74, Pennsylvania Republican, who died of heart failure in a taxicab Saturday night, were to be arranged today at & conference of his relatives and friends in the House. A House committee will be appointed to attend the services, expected to be held in Mr. Focht’s home city, Lewis- burg, Pa.

He had represented the eighteenth Pennsylvania district for 10 terms, first entering the House in 1907. His tenure was broken twice. Focht and his secretary, Miss Lottie E.

In fact, by simply squatting motionless on the snow, he could be compara- tively safe right out in the open. Petgy had seen Hooty the Owl sail right over Jumper without seeing him, just because Jumper didn't move so much as a whisker. Peter'’s own coat, being grayish brown, made him very conspicuous, which means easy to see, against the white snow. So Peter was envious. Now there was almost no snow at all left in the Green Forest, just a few scattered little patches in shel- tered places, and Jumper's coat was still all white. Any one happening that way just couldn't help seeing Jumper, unless he happened to be sitting on or beside one of those little Air Headliners Domestic. 3:00pm.—WMAL, Rochester Civic Orchestra. 4:45 pm.—WMAL Evening Star Flashes.

For this reason he was much worried, as Peter had found out. They had started down the Crooked Little Path together, and it was plain that Jumper was nervous, very nervous, indeed. Every hop or two he wculd stop to sit up and look all around. If a Merry Little Breeze dancing along rustled a leaf Jumper would look anxiously this way and that way and set himself to bound away at top speed. He was afraid. There was no doubt about that. Fear was in his eyes. It showed in every movement. He was irightened half to death, as the saying is. He is nat- urally timid, for always hungry enemies are looking for him, but never had Peter seen him quite so anxious and worried as he now was. It made Peter himself more than usually nervous. Peter had dropped a little behind to have a look into & hollow log & little to one side of the Crooked Little Path. It was a log he had found safety in more than once. He was curious to see if any one had been using it lately. His curiosity satis- fied, he had just turned back to the Crooked Little Path, when there was a loud thump. It was the danger signal from Jumper. Away along the Crooked Little Path bounded Jumper, and there benind him was Reddy Fox! Jumper left the Crooked Little Path and be- gan to dodge among the trees. Peter watched him, and gradually he began to understand why his Cousin Jumper had seemed so worried. Because of that white coat Peter could see every move Jumper made, and, of course, Reddy Fox could do the same. Even when Jumper was a long way off Peter could see him, a white spot bounding now to this side and now to that. Finally Jumper disappeared *%x% B—11 over a little rise of ground—Reddy after him. Peter remained right where he was. Just back of him was that hollow log and safety. He had only to dart into it should Reddy Fox return that way. After some time, happening to glance up the hill, he saw some- thing white under a hemlock tree. “I don’t remember any snow left under that tree,” thought Peter. Even as he looked, Reddy Fox came in sigaf, headed straight for that tree. The white spot moved. It moved away from there in a hurry. It was Jumper the Hare. He had circled back, as is his way sometimes. He hadn’'t been able to lose Reddy Fox as yet. Peter drew a long breath. “I'm thankful,” said Peter, “that my coat isn't white.” Sonnysayings I been tryin’ out my piece on baby, but when I gets t' the part, “Stop not. at the foot of the mountain when its head is among the stars!” her alers wants t' know where is its toes! “BLANKETS N.R.
