the men who are attracted by them. And
girls Of the we'll to do classes have probably
more frequent opportunities of studying
their male acauaintauces than any OF their
predecessors throughout the ages OF the
world.
In the time of Leech, writes Mrs, Humphry
in the London Daily Chronicle, the ballroom
was almost the only place in which young
men and women could improve their knowl-
edge OF each other. There followed, in
cases Of oaptivated fancy, the formal call,
a terrible experience for the would-be
sutton, with all the family sitting round,
the other sisters all eyes and ears. The
picnic Of those days occasionally proved
useful to two persons who liked to enjoy
each others society in solitude, and when
croquet came into fashion it afforded a
reason for gatherings. Usually the lovers
played so indifrerently and became such q
nuisance to the other players that they were
dismissed from the game, and had no diff
guilty In finding themselves tAte-a-tete.
This poverty Of opportunity VAS often

On Easter Sunday, as we'll as the-two days
preceding. Good Friday and Holy Saturday,
the city makes special efforts to provide a
memorable display Of flowers and foliage
In the big greenhouses near the entrance
Of the Park at 1O2d street. Few Of the many
thousands who visit them at this time have
any idea of the amount of care and thought
expended on the display.
Never has q season passed when greater
care has been taken to ma re- the flower show
worth seeing than this year. But the
gardeners will tell you rather .dolefully
that there Is one serious lack-the oppor-
tunity to do original work of the kind that
has made Luther Burbank famous. On
the other hand there are certain compensa-
lions, II you like to view them in that light.

to this, there Is a certain ~uncanniness about
them which prevents their widespread
popularity. Many people contend that
the sight Of an orchid gives them an inn
preston like that received from a reptile.
When you consider the strange places
where many Of them are found it is not to
be wondered at.
For example, 1 know Of one collector
who was sent to Central America and spent
months hooking for a certain variety OF
orchid. 1t was discovered finally in an
old graveyard where a good many OF the
French workers on the canal had been
buried. 1t is said that they were actually
growing out Of the skulls.
