He had been released from the ''coop' only that day after two months of con- fnement for having been caught with a dead turkey In his possession, and he shivered bit beneath his thin clothes as he hurried along the lone road. To make matters worse he was hungry. broke and friendless, and to be hungry. broke and friendless upon Christmas eve is hard enough luck for any man. Then as he peered, he saw through the darkness of the road side a glimmer of light that twinkled before. his eyes like a great star O, hope and he paused with his gaze fast ened wsstfully upon it.

He could see into the dininp room from here, and as he gazed and sniffed at crack deep within him his stomach began clamoring like fam ished wolf pack, for within a dozen feet of him was a table piled high with good things to eat. while about it the gorged family still sat nibbling There is enough left for dozen lunches. and still things to throw away" he muttered as his eyes royed over the board.

The coats of these suits are usually made in modified cutaway outline. the meas urements in the back extending half the skirt length.

This drapery is usually arranged well to. ward the back. although some styles show the drapery effects toward the front, this being formed by looping up the side front in folds. which are caught in with the side seam Fol this draping extra length is allowed in the skirt measurement

IN SEARCH OF BLUE ROSE
Modern HorticuiturIst Has Very High Ambitions, Says Engiand's Pre-
 mler Gardener.

To find a blue rose. That is the great ambition of the modern garden CT, according to Sir Harry veitch, Englands premier gardener, who was recently knighted by the king. and the honor was well deserved, for no one in the world has worked more in- defatigably for the development of horticulture, and no one has made more important discoveries. Indeed, in the course of his fifty years of business the gardening knight has in- troduced into this country many hun dreds Of plants.
 For four generations bis family has fiowers-the late MT. James Veftch was described as the first nursery man of his day"-and 1t was the Veitchs who began the policy of ran- sacking the world, especially the Equatorial world, for orchids and studied the reproduction and cross fer tilization of foliage plants Early in life Sir Harry made 1t his aim to be- come 6 sort of universal provider in the gardening world, and for years he has had travellers in all parts of the globe searching for rare plants.
 O..riously enough, he considers that China is one of the most wonderful fields for work of this sort, and he mentions the fact that one of his trav- elers has lately come back from the celestial land after three years' triD. in the course of which he got as far as Thibet and had to struggle for life with four bandits to preserve his spe- cimens The risk these travellers run for unknown flowers are often very great. and sometimes expeditions prove very disappointing. Tt is fas- cinating work, howeevr," says Sir Harry. and has often led flower searchers into corners of the world whie.. have never been trodden before by white men"
