AS rose season is at hand, | repeat
the formula in question, with the re-
quest-repeated as often as the form

any idea they will need these direc-
tfons Will cut them out and spare me
the necessity of repeating them month
after month. Pack the petals as you
gather them in layers two inches deep
in stone jar or crock, covering each
layer thickly with fine salt. A week
after the last lot of rose Details has
been added turn the contents of the
jar out upon a broad tray, toss and
turn them so the air will reach all the
mass, then work into them the fol-
lowing perfumes: Powders-Violet rose
and heliotrope, half ounce each; mace
and cloves, half teaspoonful each:
cinnamon, quarter teaspoonful; orris

four drops; oil chris, 10 drops; oil

Enthusiasm creates enthusiasm energy

A RECITAL BY
INTERESTING STUDENTS

The closing recital given by Miss
Olmsted and pupils at the studios at the
Young Woman's Christian association
was a revelation to those present as to
the possibilities that lie for even the
youngest student. A large gathering of
friends and patrons greeted Miss Ohm
sted and Mrs. J. S. Bridges in response
to this invitation.
Miss Olmsted prefaced the recital
with a brief explanation of the method
and the various apparatus used in
teaching it, and the pupils demon
strated in most pleasing way the
thoroughness of the foundation that is
being laid for them in their work. Miss
Olmsted drew the comparison between
music as a language such as English.

of a language, the first year is spent
in learning grammar, the declensions
of the nouns, pronouns, conjugations of
the verbs, etc. just so the first year in
music should be spent in learning the
grammar--that is the various musical
signs, their meanings and tone COM
binations, ryth1n, time etc.

very few people are familiar with the
name of Ann Bradstreet. Yet she is en-
titled to remembrance as the author of
the first volume of poetry published in
America. Her father was Thomas Dud-
ley, who was Governor of Massachusetts
from 1884 to 1850 She was a most devoted
daughter and dedicated her first book of
poems to her father. 1t was published in
1642.
This book of poetry contained the fol-
lowing elaborate title: Several poems.
complied with great variety of wit ard
learning, full of delight, wherein especial
ly is contained complete discourse and
description of the four elements, consti-
tutions, ages of man, seasons OF the year,
together with an exact epitome of the
three first monarchies, viz, the Assyran,
Persian, Grecian and Roman common
wealths, from the beginning to the end of
their last King, with diverse other pleas
ing and serious poems by a gentlewoman
of New England"
Both Ann Dudley and her husband,
Simon Bradstreet. were born in England
and came to this country with John Win
throp on the "Arbella," which arrived In
Boston harbor on March %, 1929. AT the
time of their reaching these shores Ann
was bride of IS. Her husband later be-
came governor of the Massachusetts col
ony.
While Mistress Ann, the premier Amer
lean poetess. was not particularly gifted
as a letter writer, but instead she put all
her pretty sentiment to her husband in
verse. which seems better taste so far as
its publication is concerned, for love let
ters must always be considered as more
or less private property. This is the deli
cate way in which she would address
him.

years, was heard yesterday at the funeral
of his most intimate friend. Cation L.
Decker, vice president of Charles Nj.

grocery stores. Friends of both men were
startled and then moved to tears
The voice came from a phonograph and

orite song of both Mr.. Decker and Mr..
Grinsted. Mr.. Grinsted, who had an ex-

Mr.. Decker frequently had been comfort

But what has that to do with the case,

There it is all written down in the big
book in the office of the clerk of the
court, where he who runs may read and
he who runs first is of course a newspaper
reporter who spreads the news to every
intimate friend he has, and they in turn
tell it to everybody else, and everybody
else exclaims:
"Anastasia 27! Well, of course, that
means she is at least 3O!'
Whereas
Anastasia, the blushing bride, after a
stern struggle, has decided to tell the
truth, lest she perjure herself and the
marriage become Illegal, and she be held
up to public scorn!
