WHAT The CARDS TOLD:
BY N. s. zARIcK.

A spring sun with early flowers and
q sky overhead like the deep blue of
Delft plate may be very attractive to
one attuned to the loneliness of nature,
but to Il young man with u wealth of
money in his pocket, the beauty Of the
scene, 50 out of accord with his feel
ings, comes with u sensation that Jars.
He had been revolving the situation
in his mind; had carefully considered
every point of the question, and the
outlook was anything but encouraging.
The letter that he held in his hand
demanded an immediate reply. 1t was
short business note from u firm in
distant city, Offering him Il position
ut Il very small increase Of salary.
Ordinarily he would have dispatched
the matter after scarcely moments
elaboration. TO accept the offer
would mean no appreciable rise in the
world, and it would sever certain cher.
ished associations. But that was just
the thing. Was it not the part of wis
dom to put distance between him and
an object that was unattainable? To
see the woman he loved, to be brought
into almost daily contact with her
beauty and her thousand charms, was
simply to live in FOOLS paradise.
To know that other men woOed her,
laid their hearts secrets before her,
and ut least stood u chance of winning
her, was maddening to him whose lips
were sealed. How could he ask her
to share his lot? What had he to offer
her but Il heart overlooking with ten.

But why torture himself with
thoughts of the future? AS for the
present. his mind was made up. He
had written his letter accepting the
position offered him, and his prepare.

There was nothing left for him to dc
but to bid some of his friends good.

him, and came forward to meet him.
Il am glad you have come" she said
, Il think 1 was about to give way to
one of my moods. don't like moody
people, do you?'
He looked ut her. Could she not
guess that whatever phase of her
character might be turned to him, he
loved her always? But they were
trclding on dangerous ground.
He told her that he was about to &C
away, that he probably would not re.
turn for many years, and he trieal tc
speak lightly of the many changes that
might occur before they would meet
again. Was it Imagination that made
him think she paled slightly ut his
words?
isn't this sudden determinution?'
She asked. why are you going?"
She had turned her face away, and
he could not catch the expression that
had suddenly stolen over it.

Cherry Trees Admired by
All at Polo Games.

another memorial to one of who counts
her friends in Washington by the hun
dreds, for one never hears OF the trees
or sees them but one remembers how
Mrs. William Howard Taft struggled
to get these trees planted. Every one
knows the story OF how the first ship
ment of cherry trees from the "fowery
kingdom had to be deported or got
ten rid of some way. because, forsooth,
some undesira BILE aliens had taken up
their quarters in them, and the Ellis
Island OF the Agricultural Department
would no: permit them to come INTO
the country.
The disappointment was keen. but
when the second shipment arrived and
was finally planted on the speedway.
no one who saw Mrs. Taft after the
ceremony of placing them was over
will ever forget the smile of satisfac-
ton that lighted her face.
Those who are attending the polo
games in Potomac Park now are get
ting the benefit of her arduous efforts
in that direction. for the trees are a
sight to he remembered.
When they are gone. at least when
their blossoms have fallen, another
glorious sight will invite the lovers or
the beautiful TO the speedway, for the
government has planted thousands OF
iris bulbs along the extension of the
driveway beyond the bridge leading to
Alexandria. From the bridge TO the
point at the end all sorts of perennials
have been. planted, but the iris bulbs
predominant, and there are literally
blocks OF them, which will be in full
bloom in May.
The polo games, by the way, are at
tracing scores of society folk to Po-
tomac Park, and the sight is most pic
turesque with the men mounted on
their fine horses. one team in red coats
ana caps with white breeches the other
team in blue and white. the scarlet and
white being particularly effective

green sward land a ring of Gayly dress
