mo- Arranne Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should, be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two Or at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form bold
contrast or, better still, soft har-
mony. The aim of the decorator should
be to show off the flowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white,
a delicate shade of green, or rose col
or, according to the flowers arranged
in them.

ONES own Heaven and He'll.

Most of our grief comes from with
in-we torture and torment our very
souls. Each man makes his heaven
each man makes his hell. Each man
knows when and where he is right,
just as he knows when and where he
is wrong. Each man realizes just
where and when he is weak, and when
and where he is strong. But many
take entirely too many liberties with
themselves Exchange

That Essential STRUGGLE.

There are men who go through life
without ever getting what one would
call a throw-down or set-back-they
never get to know what 1t means to
face rough or tough weather. Their
way is slicked and paved. They seem
to miss the one great essential thing
in every SUCCESSIVE struggle; days
when everything looks as though one
is about done for and ready to cave in.
