The plant was neither beautiful to

a flower is scarcely compatible with
the proverb. "Cometh up and fadeth

gan TO bend his efforts TO that end.
AT the Burbank experiment farm

upon the turnover fold Of the cap.
But in general essence the majority
of the spring styles for children will
show no great variation on the win
terS effects. The coats, hats and
gowns for girls have a familiar and
practical look. for such models as
have proven their worth are being car
ried over with only change Of texture.
These include the Russian blouse suits
for boys and the one-piece Russian
dresses and suspender skirts for girls,
with long and short coats in many ia
miliar forms. New points are that
sleeves lack the ugly bottom fall they
once had, and the line OF little Shout
ders partakes of some of the square
stiffness of the adult world.
The Russian blouse suits which have
come to be so popular for baby boys
are seen in numbers, with only a vari-
alton in the neck cut, or little changes
in the collar trimming. Almost as
soon as boys can walk they are put I'm

knickers in the same material in lieu

dresses for girls now have the same

is in gay plaid the effect is very styl-

For boys from three to seven. light
weight tweed and rough blue and red
serge are effective textures with the
ready-made Russian suits. Many a
stunning little suit can be bought as
low as $3.50, and always it is accom-
panied by an extra piece of the goods.

her own woman's curiosity she longed
to feel real firm ground beneath her,

Compliments are passed between
women today; women in business,
women in the drawing room, pay one
another sincere compliments, even
though such a turn of affairs in the
feminine world has been laughed at by
men.
Mans greatest compliment to wom-
an is to seek her companionship, give
her his confidence and ask her advice.
That is the true compliment of the
twentieth century, the sort woman
seeks. But the old-time fiattery has
decayed-and some women sigh and
regret it.

principle-coptrary to the dictates Of
her feminine honor.
But just so far out of date is the
old-time compliment that it creates
mirth when dragged into life again.
In Elizabethan days woman lived for
f1attery and compliments, and the lover
who could not indite sonnet to her
charms was not worth so much as a
fieeting smile.
Ages ago, when woman sat high
upon a pedestal, chivalrous knights
danced around her feet and looked up,
vying with one another in pretty
speeches. They likened her unto an
angel ard saint to compensate her
for the trying position she must hold
on the top of the column.

large number Of planters and buy

From the present outlook, the farm
ers are satisfied to wait until they
get the prices they want and think
they are entitled to.
Nearly all the funds are in sight
for the building of a large ware
house here and just as soon as the
weather win permit it win be start
ed and rushed to completion. A
number of prizeries over the county
are being built and repaired and the
tobacco will be priced and sent to

house and sold from here. F. G..

believed THAI as soon as he returns
that he will rapidly put things into
shape and the farmers in the dark

tobacco than they have for many
