The Primrose Man promised that
he would. AS he hurried toward the
station he saw that flower pots were
being set in every window. There
were the geraniums, peIargoniums,
broom and sultanas in abundance. A
few had started potted bulbs. He did
not know where he could find a
chrysanthemum in the village unless
it was among those who, like himself
and the Hollyhock Woman, had used
shelters and grew their plants where
they had the sun every day.
The Hollyhock Woman reached the
railway station just in time She
would have preferred staying in the
village, raking leaves and burning
them. There is something in the scent
of burning leaves in autumn that af-

"A flower in the window, like a
child in the house, is well-spring of
joy"
The Primrose Man was arranging
pots of his favorites on a south win
dowsill The rosettes of young prim-
rose plants had the appearance of be-
ing eager to grow. The leaves were a
rich, jade green, thick and velvety,
the earth in the pots was moist, and
as the sun shone upon them they
seemed to greet it with gladness.
A sober faced woman sitting among
the pillows of big chair watched him
seriously.
'sWhy do you say that?'' she asked.
IT am certain those primrose plants
will go the way of all plants that
folks bring me. They will wither and
die even if I do water them. Why
are they well-spring of joy?"
".Pack clouds, Danish sorrow. and
bid the world good-morrow'-or some
thing of that sort, in the words Of a
poet who can say it better than can.
No one should look soberly into the
face of flower. Why, here is one
friIled primrose stealing a march on
me and in bloom. Why a well-spring
of joy? That is easy to explain.
A flower in the window is glad it
lives. 1t asks for human care, like
child it depends on you for food
and water, and it gives grateful
thanks in pretty ways when you are
kind to it. 1t steals your thoughts
away to pleasant places, and that
surely is weIl-spring of JOY"
The sober faced woman smiled in
spite of herself.
'sWho would think that man who
was in business could talk like that!
You are real busy-body, going
around putting flowers in peoples win
dows to cheer them up when they do
not want to be cheered. / suppose it
was you who suggested to the woman
who grows such fine hollyhocks that
she should stick bulbs in my grass to
surprise me in the spring. have been

ton. Are you not glad you have
