HOW THE ROSE GOT HER MOSS
DRESS

There was once a pretty little boy
whose name was Love. One day he
was out at play and played so hard
that he got very tired So he lay
down under rose tree and went
fast asleep. On the tree was a pretty
pink rose and it leaned down and
watched him while he slept, and
nodded up and down to brighten away
any flies or insects that might bother
him. The birds saw the boy and
sang songs to keep him asleep. The
sun came along and looked at him
so hard that he woke up. At first
the little boy was frightened, but
when he saw the pretty rose bowling
and nodding to him he was no longer
afraid, and he said:
Have you been watching over me
while I was asleep?"
eyes," said the rose. 81 watched
you every minute"
THANK you," said Love- ct wish
I could do something for you since
you did that for me-"
Cant you give me something to
make me prettier than I am now?'
asked the rose.

WHO is A GENTLEMAN?

One of the leading journals of the
country has been conducting a little
public inquiry as to What is a gen
tleman? Who is a gentleman? Why
is a gentleman" Some of the an
swers are very interesting, showing
how diversified are the ideas on this
mooted question. Many of them still
leave the question unsolved, for in
stance: GA gentleman is Gods per-
feet type of man This gives us
cause to inquire about the perfect
Type and there we are again.
Here is a good answer: "A gen.
tleman is a manly man. with at least
a reasonable degree of intelligence,
who lives as nearly as possible truly
Christian life. If he is all this, he
will possess all the lesser essentials"
And this: "A gentleman is one
who is as gentle as woman and as
manly as man." Or this one from
a woman: Several years ago | read
in book of an old lady, who said:
The word gentleman comprises all of
morality and great deal of religion ,
| thought the definition perfect and
mean to instill those words into the
training of my two little boys
A longer one goes more into detail:
"A gentleman is he who is never
mean or little in his disputes He
never takes an unfair advantage and
never mistakes personalities Or sharp
sayings for arguments. He guards
against unreasonable illusions or
topics which irritate. He never
speaks of himself except when COM
PEELED and never defends himself by
a mere retort. American Boy.

of the Atlanta Woman's Club, the
only club in the state that is housed
in handsome building of it's own.
For thirteen years she was president
of the Gulf States Department of the
Young Womans Christian Associa-

she has been connected has been bet
tered, both socially and financially, by
the active interest taken in it's affairs
by this public-spirited woman. 1t is
therefore altogether probable that the
Uncle Remus Association will carry
it's project to a successful conclusion.
An auxiliary society has been formed
in Louisville, KY, which also is doing
some strenuous campaigning.

FEMALE APPAREL.
1t Was In Fourteenth Century That
the Word 'GOwn" Came Into Use.

Female costume in the tenth CEN
fury was classical in it's simplicity
The women wore long. loose, flowing
skirts reaching to the feet and
draped "cote,' or upper garment.
Chaucer, who died in 400, when
Henry " was king, frequently uses
the word cote. In the Canterbury
Tales he depicts the sergeant-at-law
as wearing medley COTE" which
no doubt means coat of many col
ors, while the miller he describes as
wearing "a whyte COTE
1t was in the fourteenth century
that the word gown first came into
use. An anonymous author in no
mild words finds fault with the fash
ion of his days. He writes that the
commons were besotted in excess of
apparel in wide surcoats reaching to
their lyons, some in a garment reach
ing to their feet, close before and
strowting out on the side, so that on
the back they make men seem
women, and these they call by a
ridiculous name-gown.'
AS early as the twelfth century
WOmen's cOtes were made with trains.
and in the first quarter of the thir-
teenth century a bishop moralizes
early on their vanity for wearing
trained cOtes, some of which contain.

HORTICULTURAL IRONY.

By a curious horticultural irony
the dahlia, which is the popular idol
of all our early autumn flower shows,
has a dreadfully prosaic parentage.
1t has been developed from the Mexi-
can tubers, introduced about 12O
years ago by the Swedish naturalist,
DR.. Dahl, for the purely commercial
purpose of supplanting or supple
menting the potato. They did not
catch on and the dahlia dish soon
disappeared from the dinner tables,
but the gardeners at once perceived
the great value of the flower and pro-
ceeded to produce the double dahlia
and other delightful blossoms. The
tuber of the dahlia. however, is still
eaten in some parts of France.-In-
diana Farmer.

the use of a damp cloth, that will

When Earth's last picture is painted
And the tubes are twisted and

When the oldest colors have faded,
And the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest-and, faith We shall
need it
Lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the master of All Good Work
men
Shall set us to work anew.
And those that are good shall be
happy;
They shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league can
vas
Wish brushes Of comets hair;
They shall find real saints to draw
from
Magdalene, Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sit
And never get tired at all.
And only the Master shall praise u.s.
And only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money.
And no one shall work for fame;
But each for the JOY of the working,
And each in his separate star.
Shall drew the Thing as he sees 1t,
