not be carried TO church or business or
when making ceremonious calls; if carried
on visit it implies a good deal of inti-

The accident, says the New York
Times reported last week, TO one of the
little Princesses Battenberg undoubtedly
had pronounced effect upon the English
queen, who is devotedly attached to all
the Battenberg children. Only a few
days ago one of the London weeklies told
how, day or two before, the queen was
busily looking over and signing important
state papers, using, as usual, one of her
favorite big quill pens. The youngsters
were in the room, bOthering as only
youngsters can, and the ruler on whose
dominion the sun never sets tried in vain
to get them to be of. At last they pro-
posed a bargain. "Gran," they said,
give US each one Of those lovely feathery
pens"
The price was considered low for the
service, and it was quickly paid, and
peace and Victoria reigned together for
the rest OF the morning"
1t was 7:30 o'clock one night, says the
New York Press, when I stopped at the
fashionable Broadway florists for my
bunch of violets and glimpse at his
floral fashions.
1t is quite a fad for theater-goers to
stake i'm the florist en- route to the play,
and buy posy and boutonniere. AS l
stood in the tepid air amidst a wealth of
blossoms and sweet perfumes saw couple
after couple of fashionably dressed people
saunter in, and almost without exception
"she" selected a bunch Of violets tied
with narrow violet colored satin ribbon
and ''he" went away with white carna-
tion on his coat lapel.
Are flowers as much worn by women

ager, who was sorting out armsful of
magnificent American Beauty roses.

preferably so during the day.
1--WE are reviving white camelias this
season for the buttonhole bouquet. They
have not been used for years, but are the
most elegant thing this season"
white carnations are good form al
ways We put three or four blossoms to-
gether with green bit in the center or
one giant blossom.

the "Mermet." American Beauty"
roses are still the prime favorites ana are
as expensive as ever and the stems grow
longer each year. The "sweller" the
florist the longer he cuts his rose stems. -

ing flowers l asked. For ordinary oc-
casions." was the answer, I'VE send roses
in the natural state loosely gathered to-
gether. Sometimes we tie them with a
ribbon, but usually they are simply
laid in a large white or pink box,
and protected with cotton and tissue pa
per.
1--WE sometimes send arranged baskets
of flowers, tied with ribbons, but the cor
rect ching is a dozen American beau
ties loosely gathered together, with
no adornment but their magnif-

are not the rage, as they were two win

roses, mermets, yellow ana white roses,
with pink carnations and white hya-

PROGRESSES and science says the London
Sunday Sun, now propose to abolish the
kiss. Will they succeedl Without doubt
there is too much kissing done in the
world by the wrong people.
There is vast deal of mismating of
lips about US. Women caress each other a
great deal too promiscuously and meaning
lessly. Children are kissed too freely by
relatives, friends and strangers. 1 know
a lady who insists always on kissing her
friends upon the lips when she meets
them. The ordeal for her friends is a
terrible one, yet not one of them has the
heart to refuse the profered caress or to
give the check in place of the lips. 1t
seems misfortune that the lady has not
the forethought TO save her friends this
experience They would love her lust
as deeply, and thauk her more feelingly,
if she pressed their hands merely and
withheld her lips.
Parents ought to teach their children
to be chary in giving their lips. Parents
themselves ought to avoid kissing infanJs
on the mouth The sweet cheeks, the
dear little soft necks, the dimpled hands,
all offer tempting hooks for kisses with
out endangering the child comfort or
health. l have seen a father. whose
