In northern Europe, among the Teu-
tonic races, there are distinct types Of
beauty to be met with in Sweden, Po-
land, Saxony and Austria. The Swed,
ish type, however, lacks animation, but
the mold and figure to some extent
atone for this. says the London Globe.
The Austrian women possess com
p0site beauty in which are united the
charms OF three or four races. Vienna
ladies' are tall and stately, with great
harmony and proportion In feature and
ngure. The TyroIese maiden often
lacks good figure, but her face and
manner possess all that Is most be-
witching In the two races Ct which she

SHAMEFUL STORY
MAY BE AIRED
WHOLE SCANDAL OF MRS. HAMS
AND ANNls 70 BE DEBATED
IN COURT.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The tangle
which the first two weeks Of the
Hams trial has evolved promises to
strengthen itself out at some length,
at least, before the week Is over.
Some say that there is pretty good
prospect that the whole Annis-Mrs'
Hams scandal will have to be aired, at
least in outline, befor ethe jury finally
|retires.
John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defense, believes that between the
testimony of Jesperson, the real estate
man, and the rulings Of the court
brought out by the defendants open
ing. the whole case Is now open,
and, in Mr.. McIntyre's mind that
means that every matter that has been
mentioned in connection with the kill
ing OF Annis and in the circumstances
leading up to that killing. may bs
brought into the present trial, Tht
defense intends to put Mrs. Peter 9
Hains, Sr., on the stand to testify thal
she had put her demented son in tbs
keeping of his elder brother. The de
tense argues that 1t win have to fol
low this up with proof that the "de
mented son" really was insane.
The most marked features of thu
trial SO far have been the weakness o
the prosecution. particularly at IL
close, and the weakness Of the de
lenses opening.

was the offertory sung by Miss Ruth

American beauties are destroyed.
Every morning the weather indica'
tor and temperature are scanned
With practIced eyes. and It Is decided.
With the Judgment born OF many years
,of experience. just how much water
shall be given the roses In each one
OF the glasshouses; Just what shall be
the degree Of warmth maintained.
Even during the hot summer weather
the artificial heat is not entirely
turned on. Remarkable as this may
seem. 1t is none the less fact.
In the open air American Beauties
cannot be raised successfully. One
thing that means their death is the
heavy dew. Unusual condensation
Is the technical term that describes
this. Too much moisture on the
leaves causes the black spots" to ap-
pear. and when this comes it is all
over with the roses affected. and they
have to be dug up and DESTROYED.
Too much moisture about the roots is
the cause of another Of the American
Beauty roses deadliest menaces. The
roots begin to rot. almost in a day.
and the work has to be done all over
again.
No unusual chemical ingredients in
| the soil are necessary to raise the
most beautiful roses. or course the
earth must be rich enough in the nee
essary constituents Of plant food and
be Of certain character that win not
retain water and grow sour; but be-
yond this, and careful watching. the
perfection Of loneliness in the Ameri-
can Beauty and the number and size
Of the blooms depends on the sun

Sunlight is our capital" says Paul
Pierson. IF we didn't have plenty of
that rose growing would be out of the
question. June is the month of the
year in which the conditions for rose
culture are the most favorable-the
ideal month. June Is the month, too,
when most roses are used: It far leads
all the Others, even the winter months,
when entertaining in the big cities is
at its height. You see, there are more
weddings in June than at any other
time Of the year. Then there are the
commencement exercises that take a
vast number Of roses. Aside from
these the increase is principally due
to the number Of people embarking
for Europe at that time.
yes, during June we frequently
send away 10000 Beauties, and even
more, in a single day. Another rea,
son why these roses are used 90 large
ly In June is that they cost less to
raise them and are cheaper than in
any other month OF the year. They
touch the top pfice about Christmas
time, and we geenrally get dollar
and half apiece for them from the
big florists in the, great cities. How
much they sell them for don't know.
Did you ever know that rose
needs sleep? It needs sleep just the
same as person But less Of It.,
curiously enough, in the summer than
in the winter. We have been making
some experiments with some Of the
new artificial lights to see five can

into thinking that the days are twelve
