"Come over again. said Charles T..

city as the two gentlemen stepped into
their carriage after being shown through
his greenhouses. Each Of the gentlemen
had bouquet of handsome carnations
and roses the fruits Of the
florists generosity. Yes. con-

al had to put two young men out the
other Sunday. They came in and asked
for bouquets. While was making them
they took walk through the houses.
suspected what they were doing and
when they came back saw the stems of
flowers sticking out Of their overeoat
pockets / asked them where they got
them and they said they found them
down in one of the houses. Determined
to find out, | made them take me where
they found them, and, as | suspected,
they had been broken from the plants.
told the young men they had better get
out. and they did SO, without their bou-
quets
eyes. I've known ladies to do the same
thing. They use their parasols for re-
ceptacles. One. whom l could name,
was in the houses one day carrying her
parasol so carefully that IL looked suspi-
cious, But we could say nothing. As
she stepped out Of the door and said
good day, forgetting herself, she raised
her parasol. A perfect shower Of the cut
flowers she had appropriated fell around
her. The look Of modification and the
scarlet blush Of shame on her face was
painful. She left qnielly and has never
been here since.
"On another occasion. after some Wis
itors had been through the houses, we
missed a rose bush from pot. II had
been taken away, concealed in some man
ner. II was of no use to the person tax
