CWritten Specially For The Bulletinl
 When Winnifred Walker married Thomas Gaines. she left a Pennsyl- Vania town for a home in New Eng land. The house, which Tom, as all his friends called him, had provided for his bride was in the suburbs Nof a large city. and, like many other busi- ness men, MT. Gaines went back and forth morning and night to and from his work
 The suburban houses were mostly termed cottages, and many of them were named from some peculiarity of their owner. The one to which Win nlfred was brought in the early spring was commodious and convenient, even artistic within, but without noth i ing had been done to make the place attractive, neither had it been named. So Winnifred was left free to exercise her own taste in decoration. At her right was house embowered in ros- es, Rose Cottage they called it. At her left stood one surrounded by liiacs and named Lilac Cottage. She determ- , ined to make hers differ from either. and yet it should be equally beauti- full.
 Whatever you do," pleaded Tom, don't fill the places with roses. They are pretty enough, but Charlie Preston comes out on the car with me every night. his arms loaded with rose bush 1 than his choice collection of named va rieties, and at the same time he thrusts the scratchy things into my face and eyes, and even tore my new spring suit with the sharp thorns. Of course I admire roses. but if he keeps on, I shall come out like the man in the bramble bush. who scratched out both his eyes and scratched them in again"
 Winnifred laughed at Toms doleful face and assured him that he should not be troubled in that way. Though I admire roses. and shall want some in our garden before long. I have a different plan in my mind for mak- ing our place distinctiVely our own ere ation What do you say to wistaria We both admire it. and our nelghbors do not use it very freely. Mrs. Preston told me she thought it destructive, for 1t tore the clapboards off the house, but we can arrange it in other ways. I am certain. and we will call our home ''Wistaria'' if it pleases you.'
 Tom readily assented to her plan, and was willing to trust her good judg- ment which he was already convinced was likely to be better than his own in such matters.
 His pretty little wife often wore wis taria color and her fond husband quiet 1y praised her looks when she was so dressed Her clear pink and white complexion had been his admiration from his earliest acquaintance with her. He often declared she had on a lavender gown when he first saw her, and that nothing so well suited her as that color.
 Therefore. they began as soon as their household matters were in run ming order, to carry out their plans for wistaria. The lawn at the rear of the house was divided by g. central walk of gravel Over this was put an arched frame upon which a purple wistaria was trained. An old tree was found on the premises, which seemsd firm at the roots but dead at the top. Tom proposed cutting it down as it was near the street. and was an of fence to all beholders. "No.' said

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Chance to Beautify.

Mr. Editor-It is a regretta ble fact that the City Beautiful enthusiasm has not aroused some of the residents of one of our suburban streets.
 One of the (hitherto) prettiest front lawns is now decorated with a chick en coop, yard and some fifteen or twenty chicks with old rugs, etc, to protect them from the wind.
 Another house with a sloplng back lawn is covered with old cans, broken bottles and refuse from the house to the bottom of the hill these same cans will make a nuisance in the neighbor- hood when warm weather is here.
 Almost every house on this street has a small chicken enclosure but properly taken care of and rlghtly slI- uated is not objected to.
