told me to bring down, and your
mother says please to step out
to the carriage and bring in the
rest of the roses and things YOU
ordered"
Polly" l said humbly, II
beg your pardon"
Polly smiled forgivingly and
tucked a white rose in my but

Said 1: There is something
that you mentioned in conuec-
ton with roses-something that
generally goes with them
And then somehow that rose

I'm longin' fer the Springtime:-
The winters snow an sleet
Have passed away, an left a

The violet will he blue
Where the snow stared white

Oh, I'm longin' for Springtime-

doing the trimmings. Polly al
ways does the trimmings.
But where, said ], gazing on
the great masses of green and
pink, will they find room Tor the
potatoes, for instance?"
Potatoes, said Polly scorn-
fully, as she took a mass of blue
forget-me-nots, which she calls
a hat" off her pompadour and
laid it on another grocery box.
''Fhose, Mr.. Heavyfeather, will
be considered-afterward, of
course"
Like matrimony after court
ship, l suppose, l sighed, pick
lng up long stemmed rose and
holding it gingerly by the tip
end.
YES said Polly, "or house
keeping after the honeymoon. !"
Or the bill after the dinner"
There won't be any bill after
this dinner said Polly, be
cause the deacon donated the
potatoes and-things, and a
kind lady donated the roses and
and lent us her teacups."
How thoughtful of her." |
remarked. Il am sure those
starving little sIum youngsters
are just yearning tor-roses
served in china teacups. Who
was the lady, Polly? A del
sarte pupil with fluffy hair and
a pink tea manner"
ION the contrary" said Polly
pulling the thorns off a long
greer stem with the dexterity
of an expert, "she was a nice.
commonsense little thing with
a turned up nose and violent
interest in her meals. | dis
tinctly saw her take three help
lngs of chicken salad at the
ladies aid meeting"
The kind l suggested, who
would spend a whole evening
planning an evening bonner for
herself instead of planning a

mear t to be ornamental.

she cap be useful. too, so much
the better, but it is not abso-
luteiv necessary There are so
many potatoes in the world
20 to every rose. Why, look
at the women's clubs; they are
full of potatoes, nice. solid,
useful ladies, who make the
world good aud intellectual aud
stupid and undressing.
Look at the reform orga MIA
lions and the working girls
associations. and the working
girls unions; potatoes, pota
toes! nothing but potatoes. But
when a man wants d wife he
does nor apply to the intelli
gence Office, nor to the secre-
tary Of the reform club. He
does not go searching for
nice, hard potato in short skirts
eyeglasses and boots. He
does not ask a woman if she
can make good pie crusts and
darn socks so that they won't
be knotty-not nowadays, at
any rate. He just goes blind
folded into ballroom or a pink
tea or fancy dress fair and
walks out idiotically happy
with a rose in his mental but
hole. Of course his theories
are different, and

Polly turned with startled
inquiry in her eyes.
