Women adorn society and flowers
adorn women. An aesthetic writer
says that women and flowers are much
alike. Both should be lovely to the
eye. The flowers trim the woodlands
and the meadows and brighten the
city that it filed with grinding noises
and smoke and sorrows. The beauti'
ful women are the flowers OF the
homes, making indoors all aglow and
lovely Whenever | see roses that
have faded | think of women whose
youthmlness and beauty have dropped
softly and slowly like the flowers pet
ais. And it makes me sad in queer
sort of way that | do not understand,
The association of children and birds
and flowers and books all bring good
into. a woman's soul, This monoton-
ous dragging along through work and
fretting or idleness and silly fears
will bring you to place in particular
and will crush ont every helpful ambi-
ton and hope BY having little flow
err garden you will get away from the
monotony The sun light will scare
the blues away. The fresh air Will
trickle through your lung cells and
wake things mp. The contact with the
earth itself will give YOU keen ap'
petite 1t will stir mp your circula-
ton, build out your muscles and free
your mind from broodng memories.
Best of all, It will quiet your nerves as
neither medicines or sanitariums ever
can"
