BY CAROLINE coE.

'June time is rose time, girl time,
love time"-the loveliest time of the
year, and every June-loving maiden
wants to bring some of this June fra.
GRANGE over into chill, sad November.
You can do this, my dear girl, if
you will save the rose leaves that fall
from the rose bushes or from your
bouquets and make them into heaps
of fragrance that will be joy to
yourself and to your friends. p
Spread the rose petals on paper so
that each one will be exposed to the
air. Then mix teaspoon of crush
ed cloves, a teaspoon of grated nut
meg and half teaspoon of allspice
and two teaspoons of orTis root.
Put layer of rose leaves on bot
tom of vase and sprinkle with spice,
then another layer of rose leaves I'M
til the vase is full. Cover tightly for
four days. Turn out and carefully
take out any leaves that may be
mouldy, as some will be if you have
not dried them carefully.
1t is better to dry the leaves that
are gathered each day by themselves,
as in mixing some dry too much and

others not enough. If in your old
fashioned garden you have rose ger

leaves of these with those of the
roses. An old-fashioned jar filed with
rose leaves was a gift that was much
priced in great-grandmother's time.
still have one that belonged to my
great-grandmother, and there hangs
about the ash-like leaves an elusive
fragrance that speaks of olden days.
This rose jar" was made after the
following recipe:
Use vase that has a tight cover.
Pick the roses in the early morn
ing, and as the leaves fall from the
stems spread them on paper and
sprinkle them slightly with salt.
Allow them to dry, but not enough
to crumble or lose their color. Then
arrange them in jar, a layer of
leaves and a layer of the spices pre-.
pared as for the first recipe.

Camille Saint-Saens was present
when Verdi's Hymn of All Nations
was rendered for the first time at the
opening ceremonies of the worlds fair
in London, and he gave this reason for
the failure of the composition: 1.-THE
hymn was arranged to introduce the
national anthem of the various coun-
tries. and. not knowing that the Mar
seillaise' was at that time in bad re-
Dute, it was used as representative OF
France. The Emperor Napoleon when
he heard the strains turned pale. and
the knowing ones in the audience were
so greatly embarrassed that no one in
the great throng dared applaud. Yes
one man did applaud. and that was /

his opera glass toward me. and
looked Mt him through my glass. After
a few moments the emperor hurriedly
departed"
