ONLY ONE FLOWER.

A LMOST every one has a favorite
"A flower. People look longingly at 1t
in the florists window; they indulge their
liking for It when they can afford to buy
It, and in the summer they grow 1t in
their garden--if they have one. But that
is about as far as their liking goes.
Why not make your favorite flower a
real and interesting part Of your life?
There IL a young girl who, to be sure,
can afford to indulge her tastes, who has
given a good deal Of attention to her fa-
vorite flower. 1t IL the clover, the big
red clover. which grows in the fields in
summer. She considers the little white
and pink clover almost as beautiful as the
red variety. and when she cannot get one
she is satisfied with the other.
Her bedroom IL suggestive OF her flower.

into coverings and cushions for chairs and

She uses a faint, spicy odored clover
sachet. and in summer has pots Of clover,
dug up from the fields. blooming on the
window stills. Her friends, when they
send her flowers. scour the town for
clover blossoms. which are usually i'm
possible to find at the florists. They send
her birthday cards with clOvers on them
and always remember her Hiking when
they make gifts to her.
Clover pink. OF course. with the deeper
shades Of the red clover for accessories,
forms the foundation color for most OF
her house and evening frocks.

for q flower to this extent. But X you like
