Violet In History and Legend.

EItOISe W DdSu. WI tle NIdIlSIldN,
Napoleon's last message to his followers
as he parted from them for his long exile
in Elba was that he would return to
promise. so tenderly phrased. won for him
the affectionate title Corporal Violette''
and the little flower that faithfully touch
es the earth with the blue of heaven each
spring came to be the badge of a mighty
political party.
Many times has this shy blue flower that
loves the quiet of woodland hooks, played
a conspicuous part I'm history and legend.
Away back in the dim days when myth
ology was In the making, 1T influenced the
symbolic imagery of the new literature.
When Jupiter changed his beloved 10 into
a white hetfer to protect her from Juno's
wicked jealousy. he caused violets to
spring 70 life among the meadow grass,
such as never god nor mortal had knowl-
of Homer and Virgil. lon. the Greer
name for this little flower, is used as a
synonym for modesty and Sweetness.
This favorite little plant has a curious
way of unrollins its leaves as they de-
face at the bidding of it's lord. the sun.
Its blossoms. according to the interpreta-
ton of the poets, face the ground demure
appearance of diffidence is not from a
sense of humility. but from the desire to
protect precious pollen from the rain. 1t
has many clever little tricks and seems to
possess an uncanny intelligence In outwit-
ting scientific scrutiny.
With all Its simplicity. the violet is "a
subtle flower. Its way of guarding honey
sap. yet at the same time inviting winged
visitors, shows both caution and holiness
After 1T has Powered and all attention to
it's beautiful life is over. way down below
Its leaves. far out of sight, 1t produces
clear, .half-forrned flowers without per-
tune. honey or petals. but each one bear
ing stamens and seed germs, which some
how develop the seed from which the new
plant arises. When the seed capsules are
ripe. they split into three parts. shooting
the seeds far into he air. much as little
birds are pushed forcefully from the nest
and made to fly from home. that the cir
Gle of beauty may be forever Midened.
