around the basket, recognizing the Warren. with its long tapering, high shouldered branch; and tasting with the tndescribable air of the connois- seur the close-grown punches of Herbemont Madeira. The Flower Growers feel so rich, because, within their ranks are owned two of these ante-belium grape-arbors: that of Mrs. Arlington and that of Mrs. M. D, Bibb; these arbors are kept exactly as they were fifty years ago. Isn't this more than a hint to these uppish fruit growers who possess something for a few brief seasons-then where. oh. where Is 1t?
 The meeting for August was quite informal. as the slow drizzle of rain, that came intermittently, made 1t un- certain of the coming of many. Each gave a report of her results for the summer. Everyone complained of the distressing and destructive abundanc of every sort and description of bug and worm. The corn had not filled out, because both bud worm and bug had Jevoured the young silks" "June-bugs" were devouring every thing in their path-even eating the leaves off the okra plants.
 Then. the dread disease "pellagra" was discussed, and quite lengthy lec- ture on physiological conditions was given by one member.

The beautiful green retreat-"far from the majding crowd'-that the Stouts call "home." never looked more enticing to pavement-wearied eyes, than it did on August 2. when the faithful flower lovers gathered khere for their August meeting. =. The afternoon was threatening and the "thuKder-heads" doomed ominous- ly in the Southeast, but two by two the members came until the hospit' able porch was filled.
 One of the sweetest features of these meetings is the sincere. cordial spirit established among the members; truly 1t is a beautiful survival of that glori- ous crown of Southern life in the ante-bellum days--a hearty, sincere interest in the welfare of your neigh bor.
 Then each member usually brings some little tribute from her garden "to prove her works" Sometimes it fsn't Ia little tribute. but great, big beautiful surprise.
 Just SO 1t was on this occasion; several members brought different tributes from their treasures-but- there was a cry of delighted surprise. Mrs. Arlington came bearing large. quaint basket filled to the brim with grapes!.
 Very few know what wonderful grape vines Mrs. Arlington possesses. They were planted over sixty years ago. They are as flourishing and vigorous as they were half century ago. Each year their tribute is cer- tain and delicious.

WOMEN NEED NOT ENROLL.
Can Vote in Flint on Question Of Sal
airy Increases.

FLINT, Mich, April Amy woman
taxpayer who desires TO vote upon the
question of raising the salaries of the
mayor and aldermen at the municipal
election, Monday. may do so without
registering. This information came
from Attorney General Bird at Lans-
ing In response TO the request OF City
Attorney Mcbride for advice on the
matter.
In order for any woman to exercise
the franchise. however, IL will be nee
essary for the election board TO sat
isfy itself that the woman is qualified.
That, is. the board must determine
whether the woman Is a taxpayer.
whether she is II years OF age and
whether she is a resident OF the pre-
cinct. I'm which she desires TO cast her
vote. AS Ii is not believed there will
be many women who will wish 10 vote,
Il Is thought the election boards will
be able to ascertain any woman vot-
ers' qualifications without causing
much delay.
THE main purpose OF registration
for men," said City Attorney Mcbride
today. lis that 1t saves the election
boards all that work. When a man
steps In and asks for ballot. If he is
registered, the election board assumes
that he Is properly qualified. II he
wasn't registered. il would be neces-
sary Tor the board to stop and ask him
all those questions. II there was n
possibility OF there being as many
women voters as men, 1t would be al
most necessary for them to register. .
