HARMONY OF cOLORS
It Will Close When Flowers Cease to
Live and They Already Begin to
Droop-Thousands Attend.

Nuns the word with washingtonians
this week who appreciate natures dec
orative art. No more dazzling display
OF color combinations can be imagined
than the gorgeous groupings Of every
shade of red. yellow and purple to be
seen at the chrysanthemum show in the
green houses Of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Fourteenth and b streets north
west The exhibit will continue only as
! long as the flowers live and already in
the three days which the show has been
open thousands OF flower lovers have
visited II.
The general effect Of the long, glass
rooted houses, literally overfiowing with
giant flowers, Is that Of a magnificent
harmony OF color. When the awestruck
beholder moves down the aisles between
the beds each individual plant makes
its particular beauty felt.
The giants, or cultivated Chinese and
Japanese varieties tower above the visit
or's head to the left, while the small
pompons and single flowers for outside
planting nod at eye level on the right.
scorns Mere Artists.
When one begins to pick out the sep.
arate plants, the blending and contrast
Of color Is as evident as in the ensemble
effect, but with a greater degree Of deli
cacy and effectiveness. In the subtle tints
and colors nature has laughed to scorn
mere artists skilled in the mixing Of
paints. The words golden yellow do not
express the color and beauty OF the COM
pact blossom designated as the Golden
Queen. Nor arc there words to describe
the shades OF yellow in the loose and
flowing petals Of the James Fraser"
plant. Then there is the Amaranthe, its
petals purplish red on the upper side
and white on the other side; the Dazzler
which truly dazzles with variegated
petals Of deep yellow and a warm purple.
and the yellow Crown Princess with a
green center.
The smaller ''mums' are as wonderful
in their way as the giants. but although
there are numerous unique forms and
freak flowers with all of the colors OF
the larger ones they are eclipsed and do
not receive their deserved share OF at
tention.
Even now some Of the largest Of the
cultivated plants are dropping and the
time OF the exhibition is uncertain. An
early closing OF the show might disap-
point hundreds OF people who have not
yet had an opportunity of seeing the
chrysanthemums and certainly the long
er visits are put of the less beautiful
the flowers will be.

Our Diamond Guaranty

nouncement Of plans for this Christmas
giving will be announced soon.
The suggestion Of such a plan has
reached the Red Cross from several
sources. Jacob Schiff. one of those TO
make a suggestion of this sort, wrote 10
the Red Cross as follows:
ASK through the public press that in
stead Of sending Christmas or New Years
presents, people this year send the
amount they would otherwise spend as a
contribution to the Red Cross, accom-
panying their contribution with a list OF
the names and addresses OF those to
whom the gifts would have been sent.
The Red Cross will send an appropriate
ly worded card to each one of these,
giving the name Of the donor and stating
that the amount has been given to the
Red Cross, instead of being spent in a
gift"

thrilling scene in the Hotel AstOr here

forth in one of the upper rooms Of the
hotel. all members of the organization
formed by Miss Reiffert. They were
assembled 10 listen to some Of the
42-centimeter Oratory from DR.. Eman-

others OF the heavy German oratorical
battery.
Suddenly Mrs. Bancker. president Of
the Empire State and other prominent
clubs, rose up in her dignity and said
that her sister who had just returned
from Belgium brought her stories Of
horrible German atrocities. For some
minutes Mrs. Bancker poured a raking
fire of atroCity stories into the German
camp. In the meantime the Germans
collected their forces and prepared to
return the fire. In a few minutes the
air was thick with loud eXclamations
questioning the authenticity OF Mrs.
Banckers remarks. The short and
ugly" word was even applied. Finally
Mrs. Bancker and her brave little band
were out talked. but retreated ia good
order while the loyal daughters OF the

That started happily, but died
Through some mistake unrect1neo.
All. Valentine on this your day
Release those hearts you've laid away
Who owned them all, did this one Walt
In indecision till too late?
Was this one withered by Word
From some old gossip overheard!
This one is old, yet came to you
Trusting and light when it was new
And one mayhap is waiting yet
Who loved it and can't forget.
And so, ST. Valentine, we pray
Give back the hearts you've laid away.
I'm sure that they will find the way
Back to the love of yesterday; Z
Give heed to this poor plea Of mine,
Give them chance, st. Valentine,
And there is one within your store
That I have long been seeking Tor.
And since her heart, the best Of them,
Is there among the rest of them,
Make this Emancipation day;
Set free the hearts you've laid away.

MIGHT PUZZLE THE SAINT
Good Old Bishop Seen Wondering at
the Observances Accompanying
His Natal Day.

In the general exchange of greet
ings, that vary from the penny card
to the expensive floral offerings to
friends, sweethearts and wives, 1t
may be interesting to look to the why
and wherefore of this days celebra-
ton.
In the first place, there doesn't seem
to be any reason why little Eros, the
god of love, has been SO hopelessly
tangled up with the austere bishop
who gave his name to the day.
Tradition gives us no reason for at
tributing love songs or lifting mes
sages to the good old saint. Indeed,
he was far from the thoughts of the
fastness to the Christian faith
brought down the wrath of the Claud-
ian persecution, and he was thrown
into prison. The blind daughter of
the keeper of the prison pitied the
unfortunate captive and tried to COM
fort him. She was rewarded by the
return of her eyesight, due to- St Val
entine, legend tells us. Because of
this he was dragged through the
SLT00LS dlu IludtIy U0uSduCO.
Perhaps the pity of the blind girl
was akin to love, and there may be
this faint claim to the invasion of
this factor.
At any rate, ladies have sighed and
lovers have burst forth into avow.
ais of their affections, on paper.
In the days of the quill pen, the
valentines were considered a luxury
and hours we're spent guiding and
painting and decorating with verse
homemade and otherwise. Hearts
doves and cupids were brought into
play, and if one halted for a deelara
ton of passion that was glowing and
ardent, he had but to turn to the
valentine Writer, or the Lovers In
structor," a guide to the passionate
expression of the hearts love.
In 1900 the first made-to-oFdeF val
entine appeared for sale. Since thai
time factories Of many lands have
been busily making millions of these
little and great illusions
Poor st. Valentine would be aston
ished at the impetus that he hat
given to business and the mails
He would probably rub his eyes ant
gasp at the way his name has beef
taken as a clever excuse for the ez
change of affectionate courtesies.
