A Recipe for Success.

n x chesterton in London News.
 This is my advice to young men
 seeking for success: Fix your eye on
 Eneiand. fix it on Alaska, fix it on the
 moon. collect beetles, desire tram
 tickets. demand lost bootlaces, die for
 dead cats---do any of these things and
 you may have your will. But do not
 fix your dreams upon success, TOT the
 bones of those dreamers are wrecks
 along the shore. !.
 The Wild Flower Preservation So-
 ciety of America is an organization in
 New York, the object of which IS 10
 perform the same service for our wild
 flower that Audubon has so faithfully
 rendered the birds of our forests. It
 was established by Misses Caroline and Elizabeth Phelps-Stokes who es-
 tabIished trust fund the interest or
 which is expended by Dr. Britton. di-
 rector in chief of the New York Be-
 tanical Gardens. It is expended in va
 rious ways and means to save from ex- tinction the wild plants. This associa-
 ton takes a general interest in sne
 wild flowers of all parts of the world, and besides doing all possible to pre- serve them in their native wilds, are cuitivating them in their own gar dens. Some of Americas most beauti- full country places have this wild flow CT feature It is siid that former Alabama woman. Mrs. O. H. P. Bell mont, has one of the most attractive wild flower gardens at her county home at Hampstead, Long Island, and that to her personal interest Is due the beauty of it all. She will not allow the gardeners to gratify their wish of hy- bridizing and grating and destroy the simplicity of the wild flowers through the production of a superfiuity of pet a1s. but insists that they shall be as found in the woods.
 Mrs. Belmont was Miss Smith of Mo- bile, and afterward Mrs. wm. K. van- derbilt before her marriage to Oliver P Belmont.
 The bachelor girls in New York, and many of them are our Southern girls who are there as students. or trying their wings in the art fields of the big city. in furnishing their tiny flat apartments have wire couches as beds. Thereby giving to their room charm ing sitting-room effect. These couches can be spread in the day with rich cover on which stacks of bright pill lows are cast and there you are. A closet may hide all washstand ap- purtenances, and a writing desk may nloe Ine DuTedu DelOn8lnBS. very IeW persons who visit New York and only see the hotel apartments realize the tiny proportions of an ordinSry New York flat The bed rooms are seven by nine---yes, that is not a misprint-sev- en by nine feet, and one had the good luck to occupy during my last visit to a friend there was beauty. There was folding white enameled bed that took up next to no room. lovely bu- reau and a chair. It was exquisitely papered and lovely pictures adorned the wall and one large window gave plentiful air and light
 All the bed rooms were this size and the hall that ran along tnem was just wide enough to stand akimbo. one el- bow touching each side wall The bath room, little gem trunk room and ser wants room were on the opposite side from the bed rooms. At the front were the double. parlors. a comfortable size one II feet by IS feet, and the other feet by II feet with arch between. At the other the dining room II feet by IS feet. But was a beauty. This Is econ omy of space truly. and one good thing about 1t Is that there is no room there for rubbish.
 Speaking of rubbish, its accumulation is disease with our Southern women. ! know one woman who knowing her self an incurable victim of the dread disease, decided to cater to both of her Selves" the one who loved order and detested the sight of useless things" and to the other who poor thing. could not give up rubbish. So she built under her high perched home a large lumber room. 24 feet by 14 feet, with two windows and nice walls and floor That is the home of her rubbish self whom her orderly self banishes, bag and baggage. The plan she carries out is this: Anything in the home that Is objectionable to the orderly side of her nature is carried down and placed in the 'rubbush room" and there the rubbish accumulative side may re- vel at will among old chairs, tables with rollers of. pictures that offended lounges with upholstery worn. old stoves. rugs that are the worse Tor wear, the sewing machine that is not ''our new one" ornaments that are broken but still in the ring, fin fact everything that the orderly self does not want and the rubbishy self will not consent to throw away. One thing Miss Orderly demands of the other is that this place shall be kept in order | U IS furnished with rubbish not stored l with 1t. One may slip off there ana |
