English Ladies and Floral FASCINATION

English ladies partake the character
and the aspect of flowers. | do not
mean merely that their visages shine
with the pure freshness of matutinal
flowers even when within they are con-
trariwise affected, nor am l thinking
solely of their azure eyes, limpid as
lilies, or of their blond heads Of hair,
golden as ears of wheat, or Of their
transparent skin of roseate hue. No.
Apart from all these natural personal
traits, English ladies betray in their
headgear, In their methods of combing
and dressing and general adornment
that they have ever before them the
flowers as patterns and models.-Naples

If there is any talk about running a
trolley line anywhere through the COM
munity where you reside go forth and
meet the projectors more than halfway,
give them the right of way across your
land and take stock in the company and
push the enterprise along, for it is the
best thing which could possibly hit you.
Some men whose eyes are set too close
together don't do this, but hinder and
hamper the work in every possible
manner. The trolley line means full
