former glory. Miss Dorothy no longer
carries in her hand 10 the opera, the
bali or the luncheon her gold-lined bon
bonniere and cut-g,a ass yiniagrette, but
confines them TO her oxydized girdle,
while in their stead her two hanis-so
big are the Misunderstanding bouquet
Of gorgeous blossoms.
The fayorite flowers, now that the
chrysanthemum season is over, are the
bouvardia, carnations and ever delight
ful roses, says the Detroit Free Press.
These are massed in a solid semisphere
and out Ined with maIien-hair fern or
other dainty green foliage. OF the
roses the favorites depend upon the
color, the more intense OF the reds, yell

One Of the prettiest Of the reds, and

The good General Jacqueminot, Bon
Silene and Marechal Neil will no doubt
always remain in favor with rose-wor-
shippers, few OF whom perhaps are aware
Of the interesting legend attached to
each and which has been treated by one
Of our writers of fiction According to
this writer the Marechal Neil was rooted
from the stem of one of a whole basket
Of roses presented by a French peasant
to the returning warrior. sick and
wounded, after his noted heroism in
Italy, when France aided Victor Eman-
uel in driving out the Austrians. This
particular shoot continuing TO grow,
Neil deteru ined 10 keep il, and return
ing to France placed it in the hands OF
= noted forieultUrist, and the next
spring it bore four of the loveliest, pale
lemoD-unted roses the world has ever
seen. After having been awarded the
cross OF the Legion of Honor be was in
vited to reception by the then En-
press Eugenie, TO whom be presented
one Of the roses, when she observed:
And so you have proved the truth Of
what the old able used to say in his ser
mons at Pau about casting the bread
upon the waters! Dear me, but he was
tedious, that good aDhe." continued ner

NJ. le Marechal," said she, vivaciously,
II shall christen this rose for you"
! The Bon Silene is said 10 have
sprung up from the cleft Of a broken
statue 70 the ancient Bishop Silenus.
AS none Of the fathers had ever seen
such a rose, one OF them said: Let 1t
be called the rose of the good -Silenus."
The JacqueminOt is a trile more
fanciful in origin. An irate father slew
the lover of his daughter, upon which
she died Of broken heart There was
a ciump of Louis Quinze roses growing
by the seaT where the lovers were when
the General found them. These rose
branches were red with the youths
blood and the girls father ordered them
cut away. The next spring green shoots
grew from the roots again, and one day
the gardener said:
Monsieur, will you come into the
gsrden2 There IS miracle to be
seen"
Truly it seemed miracle had been
wrought. One splendid stem had
grown up, and on it was a bud half
opened. 1t was not pale pink. as the
parent had been, but cardinal, velvety
red-a royal rosa, full Of grace and
beauty.
The man who had never finched at
the charge OF the Wild Arab when he
rode side by side with Kleber, and stood
the shock OF ten OF the Hungarian and
Polish lancers, put his hands 20 his eyes
and Wept like boy, and the old garden
er turned his face away that he might
not see the others grief, while he softly
whispered prayer for the soul that had
gone 10 God.
"ShaIl / cut it down, my master?"
said the old man softly after few
minutes Of silence.
.'No; 1t is the flower Of God, and let it
grow"
1t grew and fiourished, and this Is the
story told of the origin Of the queen Of
roses, which sprang from lovers blood.
An extremely beautiful rose bouquet
is formed of American Beauties. One
carried by a New York young woman
was maryelously fragrant and lovely.
And we'll it might be, for the sum paid
FOR il was 500. Fancy handing over ten
shining golden eagles for roses for one
lovely young woman 20 carry in her
hand one evening. This bouquet was
tied with six yards Of pink ribbon,
which reached 70 the ground.
