There are nearly as many mar
rage flowers as there are love Gow-
ers. Some of the friendship flow
ers are also marriage tokens. For
example, bluebells tied with gorse
form a marriage emblem. The sym
Dol OF the bluebell being constaney
and that of the gorse enduring af-
fection, the two attached in ono
bunch Indicate to the receiver that
marriage IS in contemplation.
A red tulip fastened to mistletoe
is declaration of matrimonial in
tontions. For, while red tulip
speaks of love declared, mistletoe
adds that all difficulties in the way
will be duly surmounted. Mistle-
toe is loves crown also; so is core
nella, which means success crown
your wishes" Coronella becomes a
marriage emblem when tied with
one of the red love flowers.
When flowers in season are dried
and kept the tokens will always
be at hand for the flower frolics
FOR instance, If a person wishes 10
send love token composed of a
spring flower tied up with an au-
tumn bloom, it does not matter in
the least if dried flowers are used
in place of the fresh blossoms The
meaning remains the same.
Of course, bunch of fresh flow
ers looks better than a spray of
dried ones, but the meaning is not
affected. The delighted receiver
Will only think of her tokens, not
OF the freshness of the symbol.
Besides, the people who play this
flower game Invariably keep al
buns, in which they. place the
tokens received, with the date of
the reception, and so all the flowers
are pressed and dried in time. Such
an album is a delightful source of
memory in after days.
Cedar leaf can also be used in a
wedding bunch sent for luck.
Given by bride to bridegroom the
message is dainty enough-"I live
only for thee" Tied to the typi--
cal marriage bloom, myrtle, which
signifies love personified, the we'd
ding bunch with cedar leaf in it
becomes luck symbol and a sign
of promise.
sweet-scented wedding favor. For
buttonholes on wedding days il is
a good omen, for it means bridal
favor. A tiny bit of ordinary pars-
ley should be in every wedding
bouquet or bunch of decorations.
for it means luck to festivity.
A shower bouquet composed of
red and white roses is a luck en-
blem for the happy pair. The in
dication is unity of hearts and
minds. A red and white rose sent
together are equal to a marriage
proposal, for the one means ardent
love, the other declares it.

An Attractive Wreath Suitable for Embroderng Many Things
BY MARGARET LAWRENCE

Dainty little wreaths may be used
when just a small quantity of hand
work is required. Often they may be
combined with a bit of lace or a
cluster of tucks, or they may be used
for inclosing an initial.
This simple little wreath is from
pattern No. 140S9, which includes a
sheet of wreathS and sprays. They
are suitable for trimming waists,
dresses, underwear, neckwear, ink
fants' clothes or fancy articles, and
should be developed in solid work and
eyelets. Fine white or colored mer-
cerized cotton should be used for en-
broidering this design on cotton or
linen fabrics, and flo silk should be
used on crepe de chine or other silk
fabrics. Do not use silk for en-
broidering any article that is fire.

FORGIVE AND
FORGET
CONTINUED from yesterday.
BY DANIEL b. MCKINNEY

Don't you know me, Hanl1?" ask
ed Tommy, bending over the suffer-
er and laying his hand upon his clam
my forehead.
The wretched boy opened his eyes
wide and stared at him in terror.
A kind act has picked up many a
fallen man and it proved so in Hank
case. From the day of Tommy's visit
he began to mend both physically and
morally. For gratitude entered into
his heart, crowded out the evil pas
sions that had formerly made it their
abode.
BY forgiving and forgetting Tommy
converted a worthless fellow into a
useful member of society and made
stanch friend of his bitterest
enemy.
You have read how Rip Van Wrinkle
returned TO his native village, after
his long sleep, to find all the old land
marks gone, his friends passed away
and everything changed. 1t was so in
Tom Dempster's case when, after an
absence of fifteen years, he returned
to Harpswell in company with his
son, Tommy.
Linsey Dempster was lying in the
country churchyard beside his wife.

and smoke no longer wreathed from
the great stone chimney of the unin-
habited dwelling. The barns and out
buildings were vacant and had a ne
elected appearance and the barnyard
was overgrown with rank weeds.
blight seemed to have fallen upon
the old place, rendering it desolate.
Yet how different all might have
been if Linsey Dempster had made it
the rule of his life to forgive and for
get. Instead Of lonely old age. he
would have had his son and grand
son to cheer and comfort his declining
years AS it was, they were driven
forth to make home for themselves
and the Dempster homestead became
a reproach to the old mans memory
in it's ruin and decay.
None of the neighbors remembered

Dorothy and the red-haired boy
continued to laugh, until Davies
eyebrows met with anger and his
fists began to double up OF their
own accord. Then Dorothy saw the
danger signals and made an effort
To control her mirth.
'P-please don't be cross, Davie,
she said coaXingly, placing n hand
ON her brothers arm, that WAS
funny thing to ask, wasn't it,
They had been discussing Indian
stories and Davie had wanted to
know if indians always did their
war dances on the warpath, which
remark struck the red haired boy
as being about the funniest he had
ever heard.
Don't laugh any more" begged
Dorothy. "Davie has furious tenn
per, and Id hate TO see you have a
quarrel the very first time you met.
Your mother'd be sorry she moved
into our street. P-pleasei"
Frank saw that she was in
earnest. and said he'd be able to
stop in a minute, he guessed.
You see, Davie," Dorothy said to
her brother, who was still sulking,
there is no such thing as a real
warpath, To say the Indians start
on the warpath just means that
they put on their war paint and
feathers and start out to find the
enemy. They are on the warpath
until the war is over"

His triumph was short-lived, how
ever. DUrothy's nose went sky

very red, II knew all the time"
Dorothy and the red-haired boy

Davie FASTENED to make conversa-

stories" he cried she's better than
book, and she tells them right out

Dorothy flushed with pleasure. as
the red-haired boy cried "Cricky!

A Character Sketch

The ablest and most successful
commander of English history was
a man who was stern in all his pro
ceedlngs. His name was oliver
Cromwell.
Oliver Cromwell had no mercy in
MN for those who fought against
him in the civil war. If any Villse e
in England rebeled, he would auell
it with downright slaughter.
Cromwell was not so successful a
ruler as he was a commander. He
took away many pleasures from the
people. He believed that theatres
were bad places and that a country
would grow wicked if they had them
SO he closed UP the theatres;
churches were stripped of their
beautiful belongings and made plain
Fox-hunting was not allowed, and
people were fined if they did not go
to church. He did rot rule well. He
prosecuted the Cavaliers so much
that they migrated to Virginia.
Cromwell treated all his subjects
harshly; he called, he postponed and
dissolved Parliament at his will. He
meant to rule for the good of the
people, but he was not successful.
Cromwell got obedience from his
subjects by sheer force. He was a
man of iron spirit. He worked so
hard that he got a fever which made
him a coward for life.
Cromwell did not have any idea of
how to rule well, and before he died
he realized that he had made a mis-
take in trying to rule a kingdom
like England by pure force.

which does not count one member at

A Gown for Graduation

For some time past, no doubt, MANY
have been planning a graduation
frock, trying to decide about the ma.
terial and a pleasing model for it's
development.
This season cotton crepes are pre-
dominant, the most favored of all soft
wash fabrics; beautiful and dainty in
white, yet equally so in the exquisite
pink, blue, green. lavender and yell
low tones, as well as white with COL
ored figures.
The embroidered flouncings in this
fabric are particularly soft and pretty,
the preference being accorded u,r,all
dainty designs rather than large ones.
and for graduation frock nothing
prettier could be selected, says the
Camden Daily Courier.
Another pleasing feature of such
maternal is its splendid laundering
quality.
However. if cotton crepe does not
appeal to you, you may choose white
wolfe or organdy. The latter is most
surely regaining its former popular
ity in the feminine heart and liking
and is most adaptible for the ruffles
and flounces of the present DAYS
quaint modes.
