GROWING EASTER LILIES.
Florists Especially Busy Throughout the
Lenten Season.

The florists ARE an exceedingly busy
class of men ljust now. All through
Lent, and particularly during the last
three or four weeks, they are so occu-
pied with preparations for Easter that
they find it difficult to keep up their
regular work from day to day. The great
spring festival of flowers represents a
tremendous amount of labor and planning
on the part of those who furnish the
blossoms for IT. The closest calculations
must be made regarding the date at
which the various plants are to be forced
into bloom, and in addition to this the
florist is expected to have something new
to attract attention each year. IL there
has -ot been produced any new variety
of flower therS must at least be novelty
in. the scheme of decoration. or in the
case of cut flowers, in their arrangement.
This year the early date on which Eas-
ter falls is rather favorable, on the whole
to the florists plans. although there are
some flowers which would be at their best
later in the spring. Easter lilies. the
special blossoms of the day, will appa-
rently be plentiful and comparatively
cheap, selling at 90 or little more a
dozen. 1t is never possible to be quite
sure. however. on point like this
II the weather should prove changeable
the plants are affected by 1t. although
they are growing under glass, and that
or other causes for which the flower men
cannot always account may keep many

Of the lilies from blooming at the right
time, and so greatly raise their price
At present all the lilies expected to
bloom for Easter are being kept at a
standstill in cold, dark places.
Fiolcts will be plentiful, thanks to the
early Easter, and will be as popular as
ever for corsage bouquets. Lilies of the
valley and all the varieties of roses will
be the principal other flowers worn. A
new and unusually pretty hanging bas-
ket of blooms is composed OF pussy will
low boughs and twigs. woven 20 resemble
great birds nest. This Is filled either
with violets or lilies of the valley, or a
combination of the two. Sometimes
small artificial birds. lifeiike enough in
appearance. perch upon the pussy willow.
Another new arrangement OF flowers is
the planting of tulips or hyacinths in
boxes. which are covered with the deli
cate, imported Chinese mating. This Is
woven basketlike, and the ends OF the
strands are left long. to stand up about
the flower stems as sort of fringe. The
gorgeous colorings of the flowers con-
trast effectively with the dainty white of
the mating.
In decorating the churches for Easter,
lilies and palms will be massed, as usual,
for the chief effects at altar and chancel.
But the most striking difference in church
adornment this year will be the greatly
increased use of the beautiful wild smiiax
from the South. This is a coarser. more
luxuriant vine than the well-known cult
waited smilax, and is admirably adapted
to large schemes of decoration.
There is a Southern evergreen to be
much used this year. too. the leucathea,
which, with its handsome sprays. lends
grace TO the other greens.

Unconscious Several Hours-Believed to

Mrs. Mary Osburne. twenty eight years
old. living at 900 Delaware Avenue north
east, is said to have taken laudanum with
suicidal intent at her home about I
o'clock last night. She was treated by
Drs Suddarth and Kilroy Immediately
after she was discovered by a member
OF her family. The physicians relieved
her Of the poison, but could not restore
her to consciousness. They advised that
she be sent to some hospital for treat
ment.
The police sent for the ambulance from
the Emergency Hospital and the woman
was hastily taken to that institution. She
arrived there about 8 o'clock, but not
until the surgeons had labored for over
two hours did she show any signs of re-
turning life. Her condition was much i'm
proved late last night. and it is thought
she will recover

Family Troubles Cause Deed.

1t is said by the hospital authorities that
when Mrs. Osburne regained conscious
ness she requested to be allowed to go
to her home on Delaware Avenue north
east This request was denied as she
was in no condition to be allowed out of
a hospital.
Shortly after regaining consciousness
she voluntarily told the doctors that she
had attempted seif-destruction on ac-
count of family troubles which occurred
last night. adding that her husband had
slapped her face.
