TO whose interest it is to make their activities
occupy as large place possible in the public
eye At Memorial day, the other hand, the
regular flower marts, although they have rush
season" in consequence of the holiday, supply
but a fraction of the flowers that placed on
the graves of the nations warriors.
The vast preponderance of the flowers that are
used to express the love and gratitude OF the
people of the republic the yearly-recurring
Memorial day are homegrown posies whose cul'
tvation with view to such ultimate use is as
much labor of love is the strewing of the
blossoms on the graves. Or, at least the flowers
are for the most part garden blooms rather than
the frail products of the hot houses Indeed the
selection of May 80 Memorial day in a large
proportion of the states of the union made
primarily because it an occasion when spring
was presumed to be in her most attractive garb
and when the spring floral harvest is at its
height Similarly the southern states, being
sured abundance of flowers at yet earlier
dates, have much for this reason as for any
other chosen as Memorial day dates that seemed
to mark the elimination of the floral flood in
their respective states rather than strict con-
formity with the date at the end of May, which
is so universally observed in the eastern, north
ern and western states and in the northerly
of the commemorative of Dixie. This will
plain why certain of the states notably those
of the Gulf of Mexico observe Memorial day
days or weeks in advance of the remainder Of
the sisterhood of states.
The use of flowers on Memorial day is varied
and appears to be growing so time goes
on At first suggestion of the occasion the
reader is apt to think only of the custom of pac-
ing bouquets and wreaths in garlands on the
grassy mounds beneath which repose in their
last dreamless sleep the boys in blue and gray
who gave up their lives in defense of their flag
But as matter of fact it is a long-established
custom for the American people generally to
choose this occasion to place specially elaborate
decorations upon the graves OF loved ones, even
though those whose memory is thus honored had
uaught to do with the stress and strife, the
sacrifices of which Memorial day is primarily
intended to commemorate.
One of the comparatively new uses of flowers
on Memorial day, which has grown greatly in
recent wears is the custom of placing wreaths
of floral festoons or other similar tributes upon
the statues which have been erected in the
various American cities to our wartime heroes.
At the national capital, where there are more
than two dozen such statues, the pedestals are
also draped with American flags. This decora-
+ion of the statues in parks and public buildings
throughout the land is, of course, quite aside
from, the usual placing of tributes at the graves
Of these self-same heroes. Another interesting

What Mamma Said,

When the new minister, a hand
some and unmarried man, made his
first pastoral call at the Fosdicks, he
took little Anna UP in his arms and
tried to kiss her. But the child re-
fused to be kissed; she struggled
loose and ran off into the next room,
where her mother was putting a few
finishing touches to her adornment be-
fore going into the drawing room to
greet the clergyman.
Mamma" the little girl whispered,
''the man in the drawing room wanted
me to kiss him"
Well replied mamma, why didn't
you let him? 1 would if l were you"
Thereupon Anna ran back into the
drawing room, and the minister
asked:
well, little lady, won't you kiss
me now?"
mo, 1 won't" replied Anna prompt
ly, "but mamma says she will."-Ex-

performance.
"Camille" is a drama so we'll
known that little need be said of it's
plot 1t is the story of deep and
sincere love and the acme of human
sacrifice, portrayed by beautiful
girl whose environment has smoth-
cred her better nature and turned
a woman intended for nobleness M
to a creature of the underworld.
There we find her when Armand
Duval enters her life. Love comes
to her and we see this butterfly grow
and develop into beautiful and sim

life of luxury. Then the sacrifice OF
this new found happiness is de-
manded of her by Armand's father,
and we see her agonized suffering
over the separation, the return to her
old life and her final death.

He Will Accept the Public Standard
Rather Than What His
Parents Teach.

The deliberate spirit gives the most
trouble in life, DR.. John Elliott told
the Federation for Child Study.

He knew. One where you can sit
down a good DEAL he answered.
Now life is not one long holiday; it's
a pretty serious kind of thing, but
what a great many people are looking
for in it is a job where you can sit
down a good deal 1t is moral and
physical sloth, the job at which you

stances prevented her from giving it
in Paris, and the role was created
by Jane Hading In New York it
was presented by Henry w. Savage,
with Dorothy Donnelly as the star
and met with enormous success.
Bernhard first essayed it in Chicago
and the result was a veritable tri-
umph, which was repeated later in
New York and San Francisco. The
play in itself, is a melodrama, but
Bernhardt glorifies it by such illum-
mating acting that its machinery is
lost sight of, and the immense
humanity of the wretched absinthe
drinker carries absolute conviction.
The famous ''L'Aiglon" of Ros-
tand, has been proved by Nine. Sarah
Bernhard, for whom it was written,
to be one of her greatest plays.
Briefly, it is an historical play
which tells the story of the young
Duke of Reichstadt, the son of Napo-

WINGED I ate too rapidly, and failed to
masticate my food properly.
THE result was that found myself,
a few years ago, afflicted with all
ments of the stomach, and kidneys,
which interfered seriously with my
business
AT last l took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead
of the heavy meats, etc., that had con-
stituted my former diet.
Il found that l was at once bene-
flied by the change, that l was soon
relieved from the heartburn and indi-
gestion that used to follow my meals,
that the pains in my back from my
kidney affection had ceased.
MY nerves, which used to be I'M
steady, and my brain, which was slow
and lethargic from heavy diet or
meats and greasy foods, had, not In
moment, but gradually, and none the
less surely, been restored to normal
efficiency.
Now every nerve is steady and my
brain and thinking faculties are quick
er and more acute than for years past

to suffer during the forenoon from
feeling Of weakness which hindered
me seriously in my work, but since

the Eaglet, and who, when the play
opens is living in state of half
servitude and moral bondage" at the
Viennese Court with his mother,
Maria Louisa, second wife of Napo-
leon l.
Though every effort is made to
stiffie his fathers spirit within him,
he is haunted by visions of Napole-
on's glory. He feels the force of a
great incentive which urges him to
live up to this inheritance, yet
shrinks from initiative because fear
ing a personal incapacity to perform
the tasks awaiting him.
Nine. Bernhard makes the feeble
framed L'Aiglon a visionary yet
fervent and heroic figure, and creates
a role which must stand pre-eminent
among the characters in modern
drama.

Viola Allen. THE CHRISTIAN is
among the few plays based upon a
religious theme that have succeeded
and it's great measure of popularity
and success was due to the tactful
manner in which the subject is
handled, the human interest and the
strong love element that runs as an
under-current through the entire
play.
Originally produced by Viola Allen
it proved to be one of the most
artistic successes of her extended
stellar career and her creation of

bered as a most appealing perform
