JAPANs ART IN FLOWERS.
New Ideas in Arrangement OF
Blooms Making Way Here.


The principles OF the arrangement
i'm Europe generally are altogether
different from the ideals OF Japan. The
art has never been much studied in
this country. The Japanese have gone
| further than any other nation i'm this
particular study and have united with
merely aesthetic consideration ideas
of religion and ethics that seem out of
place to western minds.
The professional arrangers of
flowers are not likely to be found in
this country outside of the flower
shops. Their principles of decoration
are Numerically opposed to those of
the Japanese. The Japanese keep al
ways i'm mind the necessity of show
ing the flower as nearly as possible
in its natural state. In the Occidcnt
some artificial effect is likely to be
sought.
Even i'm the Occident. however the
ideals have grown much more artistic
i'm recent years. The old-fashioned
mid Victorian bouquet with its wide
variety of colors and shapes has been
supplanted by more natural If not
more artistic arrangements. That
they could be made still more artistic
the recent introduction of the Japan
csc models has shown here. These
are now in general use. They ;Sere
first imported by the dealers in orien-
tai goods, but are now manufactured
i'm this country. The native made ar
ticles are more in demand than the
imported. not because they are more
artistic, but because they are more
practical
A dinner table at a country house
only short time ago showed the
center of the table arranged with a
beautiful Japanese garden. Irisas
grew about the edges of the shallow
bronze basin and water lilies were
floating in the center of IL. About the
shallow basin were other aquatic plants
which contrasted in irregular arrange
ment with the other blooms shown.
This elaborate decoration was possible
by the use of the glass holders made
in this country.
Nothing is more foreign to the Jap
anese ideals than the massive flower
pieces built up for balls, weddings and
similar functions. Yet they represent
the triumph of the American and
European idea of beauty as opposed to
the Oriental. They have the fault of
ignoring the beauty of the flower itself
They do nothing to show off or to
serve its beauty. They make it as
much negligible detail of the dec
Grafton as a brick in the wall of a
house.
Japanese floral art takes exactly the
opposite point Of view. Its purpose is
to show as much as possible all there
is of the flower There are strict laws
prescribed as to the manner in which
the decorations shall be arranged,
what colors shall go together and
which are feminine and which are

For Parents Only.

Parents nowadays have good cause
to grumble. When they were young,
father and mother were paramount.
Now that they are old, pa and ma

every passer-by was urged to drop a

its meaning. The sheikh was taking
up a collection to purchase for tho

notifying them of the action taken by
the court.
Mr. Hickey, now that you have
been freed from all the charges that
have been lodged against you in the
courts regarding the State Bank and
Trust company, what have you to
say?"
IL have nothing to say" he re-
piled, "only that the result was just
what | had anticipated. l knew that
| had committed no crime whatever
and that the final outcome would
show that to be fact.

was insolvent when it closed its
doors or that it would have to stay

than | had of taking poison.
Il never received deposit in any
one of the banks in my life. l felt
that the bank was being conducted
on very conservative plan. The
bank was making money, and if the
panic had not come along we would
have been all right.
The panic came on so quickly and
with such force that it was impossi-

you could not blame l.. P. Fox, the
