Girl in the Fairy Tale From Whose Lips Fell

Aren't words the most fascinating,
tantalizing. magnetic things in the
world?" said Nancy as she laid aside
"The Spoils of Poynton," in which Mr..
Henry James has collection of words
that is possibly as unique as any in the
worlds collection.
What kind of words?' asked the mere
man who hasn't an atom of sentiment
about anything except porterhouse
steak and a cup of coffee. "A word is
nothing but word unless used in a
sense to give the desired reply. For in
stance the word Yes"
It's very amusing Nancy interrupted,

pression she never used new word; she
always prefaced everything by:

thought she would have Incorporated
some of Shakespeare's words in her vo-

them as parrot knows things. She kept
saying, Tt seems to me- just like the
modern girls say, I'm crazy about it,, or

once-a man of big reputation, about Il

ful but of very plain origin and had no
education when he first knew her Aft
erwards she went on the stage and he
Kept track of her because of her beauty
and ambition. He told me that in after
years when she reached the heights, she
told him that every part she played she
cllled a word from her own personal use;
every great actress she talked to she re-
membered some unusual expression she
used. every lecture, sermon, everything
she attended she reaped a collection of
words which she Immediately set aside
for further use in her own vocabulary.
Finally she became great writer as
well as an actress. She educated herself,
you might say. This artist said of her:
"She chose her words as il they were
flowers she were arranging in a bouquet"
(which reminds me of the little girl IN
the fairy tale" said the man, from
whose lips fell pearls and diamonds. and
her envious sisters, whose words We're

isn't it. what words would be like if
they were changed into what they most
resembled?"
Don't you adore an orator one of the
good old southern wind with a flow OF
language?' 4" asked Nancy. "When they
begin a speech the words are like rip
pie of pure, clear water. They clothe
their IDEAS as il were. A command of
language is beautiful indeed"
And yet we hear people who talk and
talk and use billions of words without
ApSer getting an idea into their conversa-
tion.' said the man.
Its a mighty good thing to read the
dictionary now and then said Nancy,
and learn some new words. It's sort of

How to Care for Rubber Plant

"Will you please inform me through
the Corner how to care for a rubber
plant? How often must it be watered
in winter? Does castor oil do 1T much
good? What causes the leaves to turn
brown and drop off? Thank YOU in ad-
vance for your favor. READER.
Give the plant an abundance OF air
and sunlight. Water 1t thoroughly
twice week, pouring the water slow
ly about the roots and allowing 1t to
soak in we'll before pouring in more.
Do not have the water warm or cold.
When the leaves of the plant become
dusty sponge them on both sides with
a soft bit of linen or sponge dipped in
tepid water. Castor oil IS said to be
good for rubber plants. Apply 1T once
a month near the edge of the pot, not
close to the roots of the plant. The oil
will penetrate through the earth to the
roots.
