Flowers For Little Folks.

There are numerous ANIMALS well
adapted to the juvenile hands, as
they are cheap, easy of culture and
bloom constantly throughout the
season.
Yet to have the best results one
must keep the blossoms closely
picked, and this is an excellent
method of teaching a child gener-
osity. If you would have flowers,
you must give them, and that
freely.
PansieS are a general favorite,
delighting in rich soil, with plenty
of moisture. They flower best in
spring and autumn, the hot sun
causing the flowers to decrease in
size during midsummer.
The naSturtium is a favorite.
Select the tall-growing varieties,
mixed colors. All shades from light
canary through orange, fiery scarlet,
to rich bronze should appear, the
series being entirely in harmony
with each other. This plant enjoys
the hot sunshine and blossoms I'M
til late, If branches are placed in
water they will continue to flower
for weeks.
Sweet peas are perpetual de-
light, but should be planted as ear
ly as possible in spring. Do not
wait for the ground to become dry,
but thrust them in as soon as it
can possibly be worked.
A bed of verbenas in choice col
ors is handsome, a few plants being
of a trailing nature, filling an en-
tire bed. Some of the white-eyed
varieties, as scarlet, pink, and rose
thus marked; are especially fine.
PoppieS make a rich display
their only fault being that theY'are
too short-liYed. When once plant
ed, they will perpetuate themselves
from year to yea. by self-sowr
seed. These are but a few of the
many good ANIMALS. any of which

her right enough, and though I didn't

"Of course there was a man with
her." remarked Dearest. "It was

then at the same time I'll have to
admit she's nearly always right.
"But who under high heaven
could it have been?" l cried, never
more puzzled in my life.

are spare days when painting can be
done without interfering with other
work. 1t is a good time to go over
all the farm tools and machinery and
give all the wood work one or two
coats of good paint. This work can
be done on the barn floor, in a she'd
or in any building where there is
space. If the weather is very cold
when the work is to be done, box of
hot sand, earth or salt may be used
to set the paint pail in so that the
paint will be warm and flow easily

For the first coat Of paint on newt

The paint mixture must not only be
well stirred to break up the lead into
minute particles before theepaint Isl

few minutes must be given while the
paint is being applied to prevent the
heavy lead from settling to the botA

SYNOPSIS.

Archibald Terhune, a popular and In
dolent young bachelor of London, re-
ceives news that he has been made heir
to the estate of his Aunt Georgiana, with
an income of $780, 900 a year, on condition
that he becomes engaged to be married
within ten days. Failing to do so the
legacy will go to a third cousin in Amer
lea. The story opens at Castle Wyckoff,
where Lord Vincent and his wife, friends
of Terhune, are discussing plans to find
him a wife within the prescribed time. 1t
seems that Lady Vincent is one Of seven
persons named Agatha, all close girlhood
chums. She decides to invite two Of them
to the castle and have Archie there as
one of the guests. Agatha Sixth strikes
Archie as handpainted beauty. Agatha
First is a breezy American girl. Lady
Vincent tells her husband that Agatha
Sixth already cares for Archie. He gains
from Agatha Sixth the admission that
she cares for him, but will require a
months time fully tosmake up her mind.
Agatha First, neglected by Terhune re-
ceives attentions from Leslie F'reer. Four
days of the precious time have passed
when Terhune is called to London on
business. Agatha First, on the plea of
sickness, excuses herself from a motor
trip planned by the Vincents.
