Little One Wanted 70 Pick the "Un-
derchidrenable" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want TO pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when il was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "childrens flowers" a
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions. buttercups,
daisies and clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
