1t is pretty fancy that the flow
ers have souls that pass away when
the petals wither and the fragrance
is gone. Richter says that "the souls
OF lilies enter into maidens' foreheads,
those Of hyacinths and forget me-
rots dwell in their eyes, and those
Of roses on their lips"
1t is dainty thought, and yet,
like most thoughts of the kind, must
stop short or lose it's beauty. II there
Is paradise for departed roses and
lilies, who can say that holly hooks,
sage and cabbage may not enter
theree And no maiden, however much
she may enjoy having hyacinths and
forget me-nots in her eyes, will toler-
ate hollyhocks there for an instant.
What pity it is that maidens do
not live up to the beautiful things
said about them; that the lilies on
their brows are not always Of ma.
lures placing, and the roses on their
lips untouched by art.
Surely if young girl realized how
beautiful is the fresh, clear coloring
OF youth, how attractive the eyes
that sparkle with health and energy,
how dainty the natural pink on cheeks
and lips, she would find no tempta-
ton in ploffered powder and rouge.
