That little grudging feeling that causes people
20 hesitate to say kind things to their best friends
IS curious development of contrarousness that is by
no means creditable although it is very common
trait Of human nature. These people simply do not
want 20 give others the satisfaction of feeling that
there is anything about them their belongings that
calls forth admiration. Who has not felt the sudden
chill that be given by the want Of a kind
sympathetic word in and the depressed feeling
that some people always give when any call is
made upon their interest by their obvious want of
sympathy il not by dlsspproval9 81 did not want

Is the Of this withheld approval, but it is also
not infrequently nothing less than dis
inclination TO give pleasure ohersa natural churl
ishness of disposition which is most unlovely. On the
other hand what quality is absolutely more charming
than the ready sympathy which shows itself in cor
dial, kindly words Of praise and appreciation, and
what pity is that this quality is not more cultivated
among U.S. Even kindly natery that springs from a
desire to please is not to be altogether condemned
We like the dear humbugs although we can
not believe all their hOneyed words and is far and

The craze for flowers that has been increasing with
each has this year become a perfect passion
The artistic florists utilize the very commonest
field and waysde blossoms for decorative PUP
poses. At garden party in Newport the tennis net
was made gorgeous by clever cement Of peoples
and wheat which was most effective. In the statistics
of Horticulture, collected last year for the first time
by the Census Bureau the growth shown in the last
decade is most marvellous. There are five thousand
establishments in the United States engaged in raising
plants and flowers" find ard only three hundred
Of these owned by women. Surely this is
natural trade for the SEX and it must be very cra-
tive, since learn that forty million dollars are
invested in the industry" and that the products for
the census year valued at twenty-six million
dollars NewYork alone produced plants valued at
TWO million two hundred thousand dollars and cut
flowers at three million six hundred thousand dollars.
1t would seem that there was no more appropriate
business for women than which thus lies at her
very doors and is within her possibilities. 1t is in
terestng to note the huge percentage paid when
trastng the capital employed and the returns. II is
pity mat educated women should not go into the
business of production IN field in which they could
easily compete with the stronger sex. Among the
many causes given by hebr ensus Bureau to account
Tor the remarkable growth Of the flower trade is this
