No thought of expense attaohes itself

in the suburbs and who gathers them by
the handful
But thescity maiden who receives these
l~oveliest of flowers from her best beau,
if he sends them from the right florist,
will have her eyes opened considerably.
Probably, if she is a philanthropic

ans dainty belongings.
And, down in the bottom, perhaps, a
few faded rose petals?
Let US hope she has so much of senti-
ment and gratitude!
