Joined the movement against the use
of orchids and other high priced flow
ers for social affairs, she is assisting
it greatly by the decorations she in
sists on at her own receptions. The
wife of the president is a great lover
of spring blossoms, and, in fact,
throughout the year prefers them to
the imported exotics. At her largest
dinners this season there always is
an abundance of white lilies with dain-
ty garlands of arbutps. The effect is
charming for a long table and makes
a more artistic combination than hot
house roses and carnations or heavy
orchids.

If 1 injure my neighbor of course
my neighbor is bound to injure me in
return-and of course there is no end
to that pursuit. No civilization was
ever built up on that. On the con-
trary, civilization, especially our civ
ilization, has been built up on the
principle of not retaliating, of not do
ing evil to other men, as they do to
you. On the other hand, while l be-
lieve in initiating the white man in
most things that he does, believe
in initiating him. not in the evil
things, but in the good things. and
the people who curse the negro are
not the best white people, but the
worst. The best white people are
those who are seeking to educate the
negro. to build him up, to make him
a Christian. They are the people who
do not reply with retaliation, but who
return good for evil rather than evil
for evil.-Booker Washington.

Societies, fostered by negro patron
age, fail, in many instances, to serve
their purpose. because they are, ap-
parently, blind to conditions or tardy
in effecting remedy suited to our
ills. Every individual is entitled to
the full enjoyment of whatever his
efforts conceive, nor, should he be
blamed if he chooses not to grant an
other participation in his dues. Rea-
son and judgment should guide our
thoughts in whatever way directed;
and justice should be the conclusion
at which to arrive. Then, whenever
the negro shall have considered the
blessings to be obtained by these de-
malls, he will be more inclined to per-
feet organizations and develop his
latent powers

When ever human monster turns
