 You get to respect the great. great virtue of rubber bag to hold hot wa ter.
 You get to respect the great, intense, burning desire to aid you that the mus tard plaster brings.
 You get to respect the value of ice. And then you learn good many things. You learn what it is to have a cold drink of kumyss. and then you wonder who designed the diabolicaI wallpaper on the ceiling.
 You get to learn that when you are sick you don't want people to talk loud- ly, or those who wear creaky shoes to move about near you.
 You get to learn that when you are tired of one side of the bed it takes the strong arm of a man to move you over to the other, and you are just as apt when you get there to want to go back within five minutes.
 You get to learn that there are nice medicines and nasty medicines, but that the nasty ones prevail.
 You get to learn that while profess sional nurses may have a reason for existence, while they may be very knowing young women, that if you are i'll or in pain the best nurse any woman can have is the woman who bore her her mother.

civilization of America, thousands of years older. It grew in the far east of the older continent centuries before the Spanish ships carried the Genoese nav igator to the portal of western world. It raised its shaggy head in faroff China and Japan in days too remote to reckon the blossoming of the first seed. It is the national symbol of the Chinese, the Japanese and the Siamese, and has twisted it's inquisitive petals around the life, the art and the literature of the orient. Every year imperial garden parties are announced to honor the glo- ries of the chrysanthemum, and master and slave, noble and plebeian, the ex- alted and those of low degree. pay hom- age to the blossom that has watched the rise and fall of countless worlds and has carved it's image on the his- torical tablets of succeeding genera tions.
 i The chrysanthemum is first mention ed in the floral lore of England in 1754. when it was introduced by Chinese traders and nurtured by the famous horticulturst, Miller of Chelsea. The flower, however, did not thrive in it's transplanted home and apparently left no traces of its early efforts at dissem- ination, for 50 years later it was rein troduced into the British islands through French channels. The blossom that came from Marseilles revived no memory of the earlier Chinese flower in English minds. A discussion arose as to it's name and botanical antecedents. and the result was the musical title of chrysanthemum, the Greek "gold f1ower."
 The beautiful, jagged blossom soon grew discontented with the limited soil of the older world and longed for fresh conquests with the ardor of the boyish emperorSof an earlier time. It inRsigled it's seed into the stock that filled the hulls of trading ships in the preliminary quarter of the present century and soon thrust it's gorgeous head haughtiy above the quieter buds of the old fash toned gardens that bloomed in stately elegance in the days when Madison was president.
 The soil of America Is particularly adaptable for the production of man. moth chrysanthemums, and it easily stands first among the nations, even of the orient, in its successful growth of the large flower. Seeds speedily ripen in the dry, clear atmosphere of autumn and the blossoms frequently measure 10 inches in diameter. So rapidly did the chrysanthemum grow into popular fa- vor in the United States that it be- came necessary in 1889 to organize na- tional society for the study and propa- gation of the fascinating blossom. The association aims "to supervise the dis senlination of new varieties of chrysan- themums, to prevent the introduction to commerce of poor or worthless speci- mems, to insure correct nomenclature. to stimulate the formation of local so- cieties and to encourage better methods of culture" There is also affiliated with the National Chrysanthenum society national rose as well as a national car- nation organization.

Blind WOm an Farmer.

While women who farm are numer- ous a blind woman farmer is seldom seen. There lives in Oak Hill. Tex, a blind girl who has from a few acres of land cultivated by herself cleared about $200 each season for several years by the growing and sale of vegetables. She began with no capital and an unfenced piece of uncultivated land. There is now a neat fence about her domain, a we'll and pump in the center, and she has, in addition to purchasing these. paid for piano and hack to take her vegetables to the market. which is 20 miles from her home.
 Every evening during the dry season she waters a certain number of plants until she has gone. over the entire place. when she begins and goes over it again in the same way. The active sense of hearing which nature has giv- en this blind girl in lieu of her sight enables her to detect insect life easily. and by feeling with her sensitive fingers she can distinguish the nature and size of the plants and vegetables she raises. She is familiar with all kinds Of vege- tables and plants.

It is she purses. since many ducatS were re- quired for one, are glad to know that they are still in vogue although some thing little newer has appeared. The who can wear the black satin. the black
 brocade or the black silk: but she must beware of flat trimmings of jet that, in their simple lines, do nothing but call attention to angles. The black tulle dinner dress is the refuge alike of the
 stout and the thin woman. Properly
 made, it brings out the best parts of each and conceals the weaknesses of each. But the dressmaker who knows insists on combining another color with the black gown of the season, and so, according to the figure and age of the wearer there is scarlet, white, the new hyacinth blue, the new emerald green, or any one of the wonderful and many purples used either as a decoration or a combination with the black fabric.
 With the injunction that we all re- member, Put money in your purse, comes the need every season for the newest style of purse, because, while no wise woman carries much money with her, still. necessity demands that she have sufficient small coin to fetch her through an afternoons visiting and even allow her to have afternoon tea in some favored tearoom. With her dainty toilet her purse must be in har- mony. and the heavy leather or coarse looking purse is as much out of place with visiting getup as a pair of cot ton gloves would be.
 Last year we all carried coin purses of netted gold, suspended on long gold chains around our neclxs. Those of us who used our savings to buy these happy woman is the one who did, not get new purse last year, for the latest in. purses is pronounced the most chic ever known. It is like the netted gold purse in shape, but is made of bright colored moire or brocade, mounted in gold and having semiprecfous, uncut stones set in the gold mounting. The purse Is then hung on a gold chain and worn like those of last winter. The fa- vored ones are of royal purple moire, mounted in gold set with amethysts, of emerald green moire with uncut emer- aids in the gold frame, of hyacinth blue with uncut turquoises contrasting with the gold, or of white brocade with tiny moonstones sparkling in the gold mounting.

Card cases come to match these purses, but do not obtain as well, nor are they considered as fashionable as the card cases of snakeskin, mounted in silver gilt and having one's initials in silver gilt across xho fam of the case.

 The fat woman who has black silk gown. made with great simplicity won ders, as she stands in front of her glass; that she looks stouter than ever; that every pound of flesh seems to be an- nouncing itself. She does not know that, instead of black silk. she should have chosen some soft wool for her frock; that, instead of plain, she should have trimmed gown. for under trimmings both flesh and bones are hidden. Perhaps she has made even a greater mistake than getting for her. self black silk gown, and has chosen a satin one. Then indeed she will look twice her own size, for as the light comes upon it the material acts as

The softness of the velvet apparently re- duces her size, and the lace in it's pret- ty frou frous does not call attention to every overdeveloped curve. For day wear if she prefers black, she should have black wool, and that should be a trimmed gown also.
 The slender girl can easier afford to wear a plainl black frock than any other, since putting some trimming on the shoulders she will look broad there. while her waist will seem small; but if she is wise she will have an artistic

their descendants really lazy because they found

or had they simply made an advance In civiliza-

open fire in a bedroom or a library. Shall we
call man lazy who Is glad to get rid OF tho
