COVENT GARDEN MARKET.
Masses of Sweetness and Fragrance to De-

To speak in detail of all the flowers in

long liberal stalks and abundant leaves
and thorns, bound in big bunches such as

gladioluses-white, red and orange, some
in pots standing tall and stately on the
shelves above the stalls, others laid in lay

looking as if prepared for their own obse-
quies-forests of palms and maidenhair
ferns, fringes of white creeping campanula,
hazes of silvory gypsophylla, skylike
stretches of blue cornflower struck us as
among the most vivid and distinctive foa-
lures.

AN ENGLISH BREAKFAST.
1t Seems Lazy Custom, but Is Really n
Good One For All Concerned.


1t is characteristic of most English
homes in which / have been guest that
once day the whole family, including the
servants, meet together for morning pray
ers, says a correspondent of The Outlook.
What is perhaps more significant is tho
substantially universal arrangement of the
breakfast so as to reduce to minimum
the friction on the servants of conflicting
duties. We all know that the morning
hours are the most precious ones for house
hold work, and that household is happicst,
in this respect, in which the necessary
preparations for the day are earliest com
pleted
But in the American home the waitress
must take an hour out of this precious
morning to wait on the breakfast table,
and then hurry through her own breakfast
and drive, perhaps half distracted, through
the forenoon to get her mornings work
done before midday dinner or lunch
which is its equivalent. And it is an even
chance that Harry comes down late to
breakfast, and instead of paying, as he
ought, the natural penalty of his laziness
by eating q cold breakfast, has the table
cleared and new breakfast set for him.
In England and Scotland the breakfast is
set upon the table or upon the sideboard
or both, the bell is rung, and the break
fasters help themselves and each other.
while the servants take the time to make
the house ready for the day. Thus while
English home life starts at least an hour
later than American home life-a usual
breakfast hour in England is o'clock
England easily catches up with America
before noon, and both mistress and servant
are saved the worry Of hurried work and
conflicting duties. And if Harry comes
down late he gets, as he ought, cold
breakfast

bicyclists use them to carry their bicycles
