 A drive over the streets of Pine Bluff in January is an experience not soon to be forgotten. Borders outlining walks and lawns are blue with viOlets-than which surely there are no sweeter flowers. And where they grow so luXuriantiy. as they do here, the air is redOlent with them. We saw beds of scarlet and white verbena in bloom in a yard in Lakeside. A bed of swe [ aJyssum all in bloom in the same yard, under a south window, was q n Of hp,. 10 ,tifu1 ciohf
 Another yard in Lakeside was full of roses--a riot of color even i in winter-and in another, there was the dear old honeysuckle, it's leaves half-hiding, half-revealins those creamy flowers whose frag rance is so irresistible On a gray winter day. when tue rain is falling, and the sky lower ing, the effect of such gifts Of Nature is wonderfully refreshing and inspiring.

 Everywhere about us are they
 growing

Pine Bluff has surely many
 things of which to boast. among
 which shines forth conspicuously
 is the quantity and beauty of her
 flowers. To one, who through sev- eral years absence could not ac-
 custom or reconcile herself to a
 it's dearth of flowers. grass or trees, the Pine Bluff flowers are
 ever It is an unspeakable pleas ure to walk along our sidewalks S and inhale the fragrance of the violets, roses and chryst hemums,
 which fill the yards The effect of
 single rose bush filled with buds
 and blossoms, giving forth freely
 of it's beauty and sweetness to the
 chance passerby, gladdening the
 eye and the heart. lifting the
 thoughts above the sordid cares and anXieties of this often hlmdrum and colorless existence, is almost incalculable Few indeed there be to whom the beauty of flowers does not appeal.
 Did you eyer happen to notice the individuals passing some partiu-
 larly attractive flower yard? If you
 have not, try it sometime, and you
 will be convinced that the pleasure
 afforded by that garden, planted
 for the enjoyment of it's owners
 and their friends, is far-reachine. The hurrying business man or woman. on their way 10 office, will walk with slack kened footsteps past this spot: the eye brightens with appreciation of the lovely sight: the pulses quicken with pleasures the face softens under the subtle influence of the mingled OdOrs from bush and flower, and, as when one suddenly hears sweet strain of music or the joyous laugh of a happy child, the heart erOws light and with being better attuned to life. the work of the day is begun.
