How This Fragrant Flower Became tho

Long before orange blossoms became
associated with weddings tho fragrant
jasmine was commonly used for tho
decoration Of bride A very pretty leg
end Of ancient Tuscany tells how this
little blossom became the symbol ~
lovo. A traveller, returning from tho
warm countries of Asia, brought homo

flower--to any person.
Tho gardener was u good young man,
and ho would have been faithful TO his
charge had ho not happened to fall in
love with tho sweetest peasant maid IN
all Tuscany. Tho maid was poor and
her lover was not much richer, so they
wero unable Go marry. On tho birthday
Of tho peasant tho gardener, having
nothing olso TO give the maid Of his
choice, presented her with bouquet Of
flowers, and among the other clippings
in the bunch thoro was one from the
