Among them are womens and misses and girls Quaker bonnet and Tyrolean hat, No. 44SO. found through the Corner an eld- erly couple to whom I have been send ing a religious weekly for over a year. They could not have it unless received In some such way. The beautiful letters of appreciation they write to me from time to time make my heart glad. If any Of the sisters have gladiolus bulbs or chrysanthemum roots to spare I should be glad to get a few and will pay postage. MRS. MARY M G."
 The strange "gladness" is the direct blessing promised to the cheerful giver. It never fails. Your list of patterns is long and alluring. will pass over your address with pleasure to all who wish to choose from the array. And with as much pleasure I put the request for bulbs and roots under the eyes of amateur and professional florists The love for flowers has a strong touch of free masonic university in it.
