Christmas Flowers.
From the Kansas City Star.


Flowers and Christmas joy seem to go
together The blossoms pass away as
quickly as the days Of the holiday season.
But nothing earthly is as imperishable as
fragrance. The odor Of a flower will re-
call, years afterward. the perfume Of an
old garden. Memories that have been lost
will start to life at the touch Of a breath
from some scented association. And so the
aff1uence Of Christmas flowers and the
spirit of Christmas rejoicing should live
together. The blooms that fit best with
Christmas cheer are those of radiant life and
color. There Is nothing melancholy or sad
in the festival of good will and peace. The

living. 1.-THE Joy that ne'er was given save
to the pure and in their purest hour Is at

Carnations with the pungent, penetrating
odor; violets of the royal purple; hyacinths

chimes of the church bells; primroses near

spotless white flowers to add to their tone
and brilliancy, are the best of the Christ
mas blossoms. Matching them should be
the green of holly and bay, myrtle and
ferns. Gifts of flowers are appropriate to
Christmas. Or they could be bought for
themselves. As the blossoms and plants
would enhance the cheer of the holidays so
the season would promote love Of flowers
When the Christmas blossoms died their
absence would be felt and new ones be
secured to take their places. The seeds of
Christmas sowing would lead to no more
fruitful harvest than those which would
cover the ugly places and brighten the
gloom Of rooms with the beauty of flowers
and growing plants.

WILL COST $50, 1000.
Land Required for Extension Of Mary
land Avenue Eastward,

The Commissioners have completed their
report to Congress on House bill 1920. For
the extension of Maryland avenue east of
18th street to M street northeast" The
Commissioners will inclose a map showing
the extension proposed by the bill. They
say the extension will require the taking of
15h acres Of land, at an estimated cost OF
$4,000 No grades have been approved, and
consequently no estimate can be given as
to the amount of grading which would be
required, but 1t would be quite heavy in
some places. 1t would cost at least SIC. 900
to grade out a roadway sixty feet wide,
with a rise Of not more than five feet to
the hundred, and about $4,000 additional
would be required to macadamize 1t, bring
ing the total cost Of the extension to about
$4,000.
The Commissioners do not deem 1t advis-
able to recommend the expenditure Of so
large sum of money in this locality at the
present time, particularly as they have al
ready favorably recommended the extension
of NJ 2Sth and r streets which reach the
same subdivision as would be served by
the extension Of Maryland avenue. They
believe, too, that about go per cent of the
land which 1t would be necessary to con-
denim under the bill should be dedicated by
the property owners. The bill in its pres
ent form, If passed, would be imperative.
as it carries no appropriation to pay for the
expenses of condemnation.
Inc commissioners nave decided to make
an adverse report on Senate bill 6511 ITO
exempt from taxation certain property of
the Daughters of the American Revolution
In the District OF Columbia and of the
American Institute Of Architecture" The
Commissioners say they have received from
the assessor a statement to the effect that
the amount Of property in the District ex-
empted from taxation Is valued at So $50,
994, the taxes on which would amount to
$142OOO per annum, and that the taxable
basis for municipal expenses Is constantly
and materially reduced by such exemptions.
The Commissioners are unable to reach
the conclusion that the objects of the in
stitutions whose holdings the proposed
measures are designed to free from taxa
ton are Of such character as to Justify
them in recommending that the property be
relieved from its share OF the public bur
den, which in consequence would fall
heavier on the rest Of the taxpaying prop
erty Of the District.
