bunch of violets worn by Frenchman or seen
in his home. a secret message that he was
loyal to the exiled chieftain's cause.
Ion was the name bestowed upon the violet by
the imaginative Greek who loved to people the
petals of every blossom and the ripples of every
rill with fair creations of their fancy According
to mythology the name derived from Ia the
daughter of Midas and the betrothed of Atys The
story that Diana, desiring to conceal the
maid from Apollo, transformed her into violet.
Another myth about the birth of the flower sass
that Jupiter caused the first violets to spring
from the earth food for the prosecuted Ia
while she hiding in the form of white
heifer from the fury of Juno.
The verse makers have a special fondness for
the tiny flower and love to translate the message
it is trying to tell to the rest of creation.
1t is singular fact that some flowers suggest
pensiveness and even melancholy. while in form,
color and bearing others speak only of gladness.
While the personality of the flower may be some
what responsible for it's effect on the human
moods more, perhaps, is due to the strain of
poets moods. Most Of the Easter flowers seem
to be message bearers of Joy and hope, lifting
their faces to the blue skies in happy worship
rather than in sadness. 1t seems to be natural
for poets to give and human attributes
to plants but the beauty loving Greeks went
farther along the path of fancy. They invented
human originals for their favorite flowers, and
made beautiful legends to account for the trans
formation The lovely narcissus, according to
their lore was handsome young god who
became so lost in admiration of his own shadow
that he cruelty sighted the affections of the fair
Echo AS punishment for this crime he was
changed into narcissus. the flower of self love.
Shakespeare alludes to another romantic
legend in his Winter Tale" The narcissus was
said to have been the flower that the daughter
of Ceres was gathering when she was carried
OF by Pluto of internal region fame. The night
goddesses also chose it for their ancient coronet
and 1t was highly important factor In the Gus
toms of Greek life The Chinese, too have q
great fancy for this flower. They use 1t in many
of their sacred ceremonies. and every family In
the Mikado's realm takes great pride in having a
plant in full bloom at the New Year.
Love and jealousy played leading parts in the
story of the birth of the hyacinth another Orien-
tai favorte There youth. Hyacinthus by
name, who was much beloved by Apollo and
Zephyr He preferred the warm. steady affection
of the sun to the itful love of the wind This
made the passionate Zephyr wildly Jealous and
caused the plotting of terrible revenge. While
Apollo and Hyacinthus were playing quots, which
was favorite game with the gods. Zephyr saw
his awaited opportunity. He made his rival the
slayer of Hyacinthus by blowing the gods QUOT
toward the head of the youth. But while the
dying boy was held in the arms of Apollo he was
transformed into the fair fragrant hyacinth. The
flower has always meant game or play because
of this tale.

on the Sensational Its notorious career has been

time to trace the family trees. and history Of

But the tulip, we'll the other blossoms

strange and wonderful past becomes known. The
gay-petaled blossom gets it's name from a SINH
