an unsettled question. There are many
theories but no two of them agree.
One makes the emblem originate with
Clovis l., andother with Louis VII. an.
other with one of the German kings
of the twelfth century and still an.
other with the Romans. All that is
definitely settled is the fact that since
the twelfth century the deur-de-lis has
been employed as the emblem OF
French royalty. The nature of the
emblem Is also In dispute. An old
tradition makes 1t the representation
of the lily given by the angel to
Clovis at his baptism. Another theory
is that 1t was adopted by Louis VII.
in allusion to his name, Louis Florus.

True Economy.

Economy is generalship in little
things. Some women by the magic Of
their habits can make dime go
further than others can make a dollar.
These have d sense Of fitness and nice

make simple homes beautiful and
bright, giving contentment not found
in those of more prefer tious claims.
