Entire Family May BE Traced In Flow.
er's Gay Petals.

Lovers of this pretty flower may be
interested In the fable concerning It..
The blossom has five petals and Ave
sepals. In most pansles, especially OF
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties. two OF the petals are plain
in color and three are gay. The two
plain petals have single sepal each,
and the third, which Is the largest OF
all, has two sepals. The fable is that
the pansy represents family, consist
ing OF husband, wife and four daugh'
tiers, two OF the latter being step.chil'
dren OF the wife. The plain petals are
the step-chlldren, with only one chair;
the two small gay petals are the
daughters, with a chair each, and the
large gay petal is the wife. with two
chairs. To fad the father one must
strip away the petals until the stamens
and pistils are bare They have a
fanciful resemblance TO an old man
with a flannel wrap round his neck. his
shoulders upraised and his feet In a
bathtub. In France the pansy Is uni
versally called the step.mother.
