Enchanted Gardens.

Enchanted Gardens.
1t has always seemed to me that no
child had been quite fairly treated who
had not lived with the fairies in an en-
chanted garden. There must be walls
about such a garden to hold in memo
ries and tall trees for mystery and
much fragrance--and shadowS-and
the child must sometimes play alone
that his delicate JOY may not be
married. What peace this garden will
bring In the old. dry years to come;
what ineffable tears, what longing!

romance in a sweet French garden

edge of a queens garden and was all
soft, translucent green. The trees met
overhead and sent down pale green

There Is an anecdote in some volume
of French theatrical memoirs narrat-
ing an experience OF Mile. Clarion. the
great tragic actress. with pupil Of

the histrionic art, but far too frequent
and too exuberant In Der gesticula tion-
So when the pupil was once to appear
before the public In recitation Mile.
Clarion bound the girls arms TO her
side by a stiff thread and sent her thus
upon the stage.
With the first strong feeling she had
TO express the pupil Iried to raise Ter
arms only to be restrained by the
thread A dozen times in the course of
her recitation she was prevented from
making the gestures she desired until
at the very end she could stand 1t no
longer, and In the climax of Der emo
ton she broke her bonds and swung
hec hands to her head
When she came OF the stage she
went humbly to where Mile. Clairor
was standing In the wings and apollo

But you did quite right" said the
teacher. THAT was the time to make

VERY grave charges are being made
by the Philip administration against
those occupying positions in former
republican progressive administra-
lions. Many believe that these are
framed up for the purpose of discred-
iting those holding high offices in the
state and nation. If the charges can
be substantiated, proceedings should
be commenced. There is no reason
why grafters should not be exposed.
1t is pretty well known, however,
without digging into the work of
former administrations, that the in
crease of state expenses under Gov.
McGovern's administration were out
rageously high.

every hair and scalp need-can be had
from w. w. Albers. it is certainly
needless to have thin, brittle, matted,
stringy or faded hair. No matter
how unsightly your hair. how badly
it is falling, or how much dandruff,
Partisan Sage is all that is needed.
Every trace Of dandruff is removed
with one application, the hair roots
are aou rlshed and stimulated to grow
