He has created this sentiment"
Grady pointed out that the govern

to every young girl who has access 10
a garden or the fields and woods.
Any one of the quaint and pretty
patterns of rose jars procurable at any
big shop will answer for holding the
potpourri itself, which consists not
only of rose leaves, but of the petals
and leaves of any sweet scented plant
The putting up Of the potpourri con-
sequently extends through spring and
early summer just as the different
blossoms come out There are few
general directions which must be close
ly followed in making potpourri. The
rose jar itself, as also the vessel In
which the potpourrl Is mixed must
be perfectly new-must never before
have been used. The salt used In the
making must be toasted in the oven to
insure its absolutely dryness. The
blossoms and leaves must be young
and tender when gathered. entirely I'M
wilted and must be used when perfect
ly frcsh--not after lying by or standing
in water. The ingredients must be
thoroughly stirred up at least once
better twlce-a day, and when the pot
pourri is all gathered and mixed 1t
should he exposed for two or three
weeks to the heat of the August sun.
Here follow two recipes for pot
pourrl ingredients. They are copied
from an old book handed down from
mother TO daughter In German baro-
NAL family and have been followed.
as have also the general instructions
given above, and found reliable and
satisfactory even in the present genera

First-Onc pound fresh picked

half pound of mace, half n pound OF

four ounces oXalis. one ounce rose
mary, one ounce cloves and half an

Second.--One pound of orange bios

OF red carnations, half pound each
OF marjoram and myrtle, two ounces
each Of nutmeg, thyme, lavender, sage,
camomilc ana sweet basil, fifteen or
twenty bay leaves and three handfuls
OF jasmine. Let the mixture stand for
a month, stirring twice day, and
then add ten ounces Of powdered orris
