and be getting ready TO come back with
| fresh sweetness next spring"
The long lines Of violet beds seemed TO
be very unconcerned and quiet. The
shivering rose looked pityingly down,
| saying: Aren't you afraid Of the cold,
little Blue-eyes.
ooh, no. not at ALL" they replied. 1--WE
are just smuggling ourselves down for our
long winter nap. Soon Father Wind will
come hustling up, and cover US with
leaves, and the snow will make us a fine
warm comforter. What are your plansY
The roses from France and California
grew pale at the bare mention Of snow,
but the sturdy American Beauty" re-
Piled
Never fear. we shall be taken in, or all
done up in cloaks of straw, so thick the
wind wont go through"
The wood-elves from the sea Of delicate
waving ferns said:
1--WE do not fear Jack Frost II we can
only 90 back TO our home in the woods TO
the deep ravines and messy hooks. The
trees take care Of us and our cousins, the
wild flowers. They stand over us and
shade and shelter US, so we waken from
our winter sleep as fresh as ever"
The tall, waving palms trembled little
with nervousness, but they quickly forgot
the winter Of gathering fresh strength TO
send out new leaves the next season.
They looked down In passing to the plants
at their feet, asking:
where are you going? You do not be-
long here in this climate"
The prickly cactus. in its great variety
Of form, bristled up a little saying hotly:
''Well, what IL we don't belong here?
We have received more attention than

selves more attractive. We are going into
some OF the finest Conservatives. OF
course we couldn't stand the cold Of these
Northern winters, but we shall be taken

There was n sound Of music I'm the air
first a soft, sweet tolling; ii was from the
beautiful great blue bells OF the coba
vine, whose miles of length formed the
delicate drapery all about the galleries
and the wondrous dome OF the flowers
own home at the Fair. The strain was
taken up by all the spirts-a hymn Of
farewell-a farewell 20 the life Of the past
summer with all its great joys and bless
ings; a farewell to each other for brief
season of sleep and rest and peace, which
should end in Joyful reunion and a new
life. The song was frightened by the
memories Of the pleasure and the bless
ing the little lives had brought TO others,
strengthened by the hope and the faith
in the blessings 70 come. So singing and
gliding and dancing, they faded from
sight.
Let us try, as we look at our own little
fading flowers, to give them all the care
we can to carry out their plans for an
other summer We must help the roots
and stalks and seeds, and our reward will
be rich. Let us invite many Of our flower
friends to spend the winter in our homes
and take good care Of them as we would
Of any other company. They can teach
US, cheer US, help US.

such as Experience. Waistln. Preserved,
