A Arrangement Of Flowers.

OF the many lessons that may be
learned of the asrute Japanese none has
taken SO deep root with the American
woman as the arrangement of her flow
ers. One sees the influence everywhere
more this spring than ever. The close
massing of flowers in bouquets which
mothers suffered in their girlhood is
frowned upon by the daughters of to-
day. In fact. the use of large num-
her Of flowers in a vase is getting to be
unusual. To steal natures effects and
give the appearance of the flower as it
grows is the effort of today. During the
recent apple-hlossom time. and now with
the long sprays Of Towering shrubs, it
has come to he customary to arrange the
long stalks in shallow bowls the posi-
tion being maintained by the little per
forated leaden or bronze rests that come
for the purpose.
While the American woman has not
vet come 10 spending the best part of
many months in studying the artistic
arrangement of garden blooms as her
JaDanese sister does. she has learned
10 observe the towering habit of her
plants and to regard it in their arrange
ment in vases and other decorative uses.
Conventionality has as little place as
DoSSibIe i'm floral plans of the day. A
single rose well placed so that all its
beauties of blossom. stem and foliage
are brought into view Is worth a dozen

Individuality is lost. When a mass of
color is desirable flowers that grow in
masses usually fit the purpose best. Most
flow ers need Il background of their own
foliage. Sweet peas and chrysanthe-
NUNS are. perhaps, the only two that
are an exception To the rule.

are plentiful az low prices are worth all

Captain Robert d. Peattie, of Ches-

en- route to Phoenix, Ariz., where he
has been called to identify three men
arrested upon suspicion of being the
ones who murdered fellow-sailor

commander
The murder occurred two years ago
while the schooner lay in the harbor
of Barcelona, Spain. There was
fight between two factions of the crew,
resulting in the killing of one man.
The rioters were seized and placed
in irons, but on the night of the Sec

sci upon a raft. Captain Peattie was
notified by sailor who saw the men
leave, and the captain launched a life
boat, but the men on the raft were
