FABLE OF THE PANsS
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 five
sepals. In most pansies, 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-children, 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 find 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 flannel wrap round his neck, his
shoulders appraised and his feet in a
bathtub. In France the pansy is uni
versally called the step-mother.

for without it the hand no longer is a

Extravsoance in Dress.

Very few persons outside OF the
glittering circle of our enormously
rich families, who constitute what is
referred to as the best society" can
understand how any young woman in
this or any other country can spend
upon her wardrobe such vast amounts
Of money as are expended by the
daughters Of some of these families.
The history of the world does not
show such reckless extravaganza in
the way Of dress. Nor, for the mat
ter OF that, does the history OF the
world show so riotous a use of money
as that practiced by our very rich IN
their strictly social advertisements.

indulgences. which take the edge from

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, June 1.-THE stock mar
ket upon the whole shows declines
varying from one to three points after
holding strong most Of the day.
Despite the break in the wheat mar
ket in Chicago, railroad shares and
notably Union Pacific displayed a weak
undertone. This issue declined from
1861, the high price obtained during
the first hour of the session to 1913 at
the close.
There was a spasmodic rally in the
entire list around the noon hour caused
in the main by the action of Governor
Hughes in vetoing the two cent rate
bill. This bit OF news gave shorts in
New York Central, Pennsylvania and
Reading some uneasiness and caused
considerable buying for their account.
But, however, after their wants had
been supplied the market turned weak
er than ever. The selling in copper
shares was upon large scale. Am
algamated suffered a loss of two and
one-half points; Anaconda about two
and the Utah copper company almost
six
There was nothing in theway of news
to cause the weakness in these shares
outside of the general belief that the
metal market is in a strained condi-
ton and ultimately will have to work
lower
The market closed weak and ir-
regular with losses noticeable through
out the list.
