precocious as a child. not being able to
read at the age of nine. However she
was blessed with a very retentive men,

recite long ballads without difficulty.

FLOWERS FOR THE TABLE
Copyright, 1881

tCor9nRnt, ISiaJ
The most economical housewives in
the world-the French-do not deem it
an extravaganza to keep always on
their dinner tables a few cut flowers.
Even the wife Of the poorly paid ar
tsan will stop at the flower stall
when she goes to market and will not
be content to go home with her pur-
chases till she has bought a few cents
worth of flowers for her table.
And a good many American house.
wives feel the same way about flowers
for the table. They have found that
for a quarter or less flowers may be
green thrown in by the florist will
make the table attract for a week.
Yes. for a week. for with proper care
cut flowers can be made to last a
week. That is except In the warmest
weather, and in the warm weather we
are most of us located so that We can
get some sort of fresh flowers every
day or so. If it is only a bunch Of
daisies or buttercups.
One of the best ways to keep cut
flowers from fading is to see that the
moment they are cut from their stems
they be placed in water. But of course
we cannot be sure that this is done in
the case Of florists flowers. The
thing to make sure of is that the sap
In the stems does not dry out and one
way to accomplish this-a way used by
many florists-is to put a piece of wax
over the stem of the flowers as soon
as they are cut.
Then they say that IL you keep a
piece of charcoal in the water in
which flowers are kept they will last
longer. This is because the charcoal
absorbs all impurities in the water
and prevents it from becoming stag
nant.
By changing the water much can be
gained. 1t should be completely
changed every day and the stems
should then be cut down. about half an
inch. and placed Immediately back IN
the water again.
Many persons believe that q little
salt in the water in which flowers are
kept is a preseryatfve and IN the case
of roses 1t seems to be eff.stnal. The
woman who would make h,7 cut flow
ers look well and go a long Tly should
always keep the dead flowers and foliare
carefully cut away. Sometimes or .
bunch Of flowers one or two only will
show signs of fading and these should be
Immediately taken from the rest.
