ChiIdren's Love and Confidence.

1t IS a constant complaint nowadays,
says Helen Mather. that boys and girls
are impertinent TO their parents; but usu-
ally it is the elders who have set the
tune of manners. and the young people
do but dance to it, The fault lies in
themselves, inasmuch as love and chart
ty have not come sufficiently into their
own lives TO make them practice and
teach the true courtesy whose source is
the heart. To make real comrades of
your children is to let them feel that you
have not lived your own selfish life apart,
then grabbed at them when they have
grown away from you.
Therefore | regard in many respects
the new order az superior to the old, in
asmuch as il inaugurates comradeship
between mother and daughter, father and
son: because under it children are ruled
by love. not by authority, and that while
the old affect attitude of enforced re-
speet on the one hand. and cOndescen-
sion on The other. did not make for

When Advanced in Year,.

Much has been written regarding the
best methods Of adding to and retaining
the attractions of beauty and youth. and
the advice that has been given for the
last Few years on the subject in the
press would fill volumes-how wrinkles
may be avoided and even eradicated,
how athletics and massage will give an
Indefinitely prolonged lease of good looks,
how figures may be filled out and made
beautiful, etc. In view of all this it
would seem to be only necessary to give
the Hnatter the time and study that are
required to be eternally young
There are no old people nowadays, ac-
cordlng to the modern credo. Neverthe-
less, much might be said to those who
feel that they do not care to make the
struggle, and who are content or at
least resigned, to accept advancing years
IN the old fashioned way. To them
might be suggested the difference be-
tween attractive and repellant old age
No one ever became entirely Indifferent
TO the opinion of others, or loses his or
her vanity completely, and there are
many who would be much astonished il
they realized that their age had deyel-
oped IN them quite unnecessarily much
that was distinctly unpleasant. 1t is a
pity, therefore, that some of the space
that is given to beauty talk to the would
be youthful contingent is not devoted to
old people, and things that they evidently
never consider suggested TO them by such
impersonal means. How they should

fully "groomed" than in youth. How
they should control their features es-
pecially their mouths, which they should
never allow either to harden or relax.
How the purity of perfect cleanliness OF
skin and attire is more important with
them even than with younger people (if
chat We're pOssiblel. How they must
keep erect, feeling assured that the effort
will bring its own reward in the courage
it begets, and how they should never for,
get that it is as great mistake for
them to relax the effort of appearing at
their best as for the younger members
of the community. Old age may be
made both beautiful and lovable. I'm
fortunately, however. the majority of
persons make it neither

THE AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE
1t is a French Immigrant Brought to
Perfection ira American Soil.

The famous American beauty rose is
often said to have originated in Ban
crofr's garden. The facts are these: In
Baneroft's garden were several varieties
lately imported from France One had
no label. This was much admired by a
florist named George Field who hap
pened to be looking over the place in
company with Bancroft's gardener Field
asked for a cutting. He got it. Field
and his brother worked quietly for sew
eral years until they had big stock.
and then they advertised their novelty
as the American beauty rose. They
are said to have made small fortune
cut of the transaction. The American
beauty has since become the most ia.
nous of all roses in the United States.
1t has never failed to bring higher prices
than any other rose. In the market re-
ports it is always quoted in class by
itself. Only experts can grow it to per-
lection, and there is recognized type
of greenhouse specially adapted to it,
Some time after Field & Brother in
troduced the American beauty horticul-
turists began to investigate its origin,
with the result that its proper name was
found to be Nine. Ferdinand .Iamin. the
name it had in France before Il plant Of
1t had been sent to Bancroft's garden.

is of no Importance in France or in Eu-
rope. In fact, the American beauty has
become 50 much modified by American
conditions that some think it lis practic-
ally different variety from Nine. Fer
