with care and makes a point CT her
appearance being neat and tidy. She
keeps her wardrobe orderly and has
a place for everything: her ribbons

bundled upon drawer just to get
them out Of the way. but are careful

her appearance by the careless way
in which she puts on her clothes. los

hood to be careful and tidy; other
wise by the time they are grown up
they will have become so accustomed
to carelessness and untidiness that

plants may be readily mistaken for
Common alfalfa when not in flower.
Very few Of the forms possess true tap
roots like the common alfalfa. but they
have a branching root system by which
new plants are produced. The flowers
are yellow and the seed pods are fall

cal name.
