INFLUENCE OF HOUSE PLANTS
Their Positive Value Extends Not
Only to Those in the Home, But
to the Passerby.

The cultivation of house plants has
refining and quieting influence on
families where they are grown; they
adorn the house as nothing else can,
and give to the cheapest furniture an
air of elegance which no other crna-
ment can !mpart. And the influence
of flowers is not confined to the house
or household where they are Guilt
vated they are a most graceful form
Of charity to the poor passerby who
has no means of gratifying his taste
for the beautiful. To him, blooming
flowers, surrounded by their leaves of
different shapes and shades, even
when only seen at a distance, through
a window, give a positive pleasure
which those more accustomed to such
qualifications can scarcely appreciate.
1t is impossible to overestimate the
effect of youthful association and daily
companionship with such exquisite
shape and coloring, which foster in the
minds of children a taste for simple
and natural forms of amusement and
recreation.

Garden Spirit.

IF you want to have beautiful
roses in your garden, you must have
beautiful roses in your hearts," con-
cluded a speaker in some memorial
remarks on the late Dean Hole, who
had achieved an International repu-
tation as a lover and promoter of
noses. The remark touches on the
true secret of success in gardens;
there must be a very deep, real and
penetrating affection for plants or the
fullest success will not be obtained
with them. And this affection must
be clean and honest or the result will
still fall short of full measure. The
true garden spirit lies in the heart:
and the inward beauty is nourished
and enlarged by the nature beauty

Don Cipriano, CastiIian.

Cipriano Castro before he won by
force of arms and ambition to the die
tatorship of Venezuela was a cattle
herder in the mountain region of Los
Andes. Now that he is an ex-dictator
it is his fancy to wear the airs of
Castilian and grandee of Spain. Es-
pecially he deals in high-flown com
pliment when the ladies are in ques-
ton.
Recently in New York he met in the
house of a friend a girl whose six feet
of fair young womanhood offered a
striking contrast to the figure of the
little great man-all of five foot four
from heel to crown.
Don Cipriano was presented and
bent low over the tall girls hand.

Yet Lucy was strangely unhappy.
Her dreams of the country brought an
unaccountable ache to her heart. She
felt a dread of seeing Falkner, His
presence had once seemed the only
link between her and her old, happy
life.
Lucy felt tired. too. Perhaps 1t
was the added responsibility and ex-
element of the front room.
Month by month her improved ap-
pearance spoke of the increase in her
wages. But with all her prosperity,
the girls face held the same kind
look that made people trust her.
Lucy stood near the front door
the night before Easter, watching the
weary girls returning from their hasty
suppers. The rush for the past week
had been almost intolerable.
She did not notice Falkner's en-
trance, until he spoke, close beside
her.

that she was first of all saleslady for

EXPERIENCE
or MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change IN the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
