Easter Flowers.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL

The custom of sending flowers at Eas-
ter is very widespread, which accounts
for the vast number of posies we see at
this time, and also for the rise in flower
prices, and, strictly speaking, flowers are
not considered presents. Then, it is by
no means necessary to send everybody
posies at Easter, and the custom anyway
Is most commonly reserved for men, who
take this opportunity Of showing the girls
OF their choice how much they like them
But sometimes II behooves a woman to
send flower to some other woman at
Easter time, and one of these occasions
is when she feels herself under obliga-
tions for hospitalities and has no home,
In the sense OF the word, in which to
return them. But why fret over the cost
OF this one gift, when jonquiIs can be
bought at five cents apiece and there
are pots of bursting tulips and primroses
which cost no more than thirty-five?
Spend the money, send the gift and be
sure that its recipient will regard you
as very weil-bred person, for flowers
themselves are a refinement and a COM
pliment. Business women who live In
boarding houses often spend considerable
sums for flowers at Easter when they
can return social favor in no other way.
Little boxes of cream peppermints or
chocolates, or some other inexpensive
sweets, bridge the way out of difficulty
with other presents, II one decides at
last upon a small gift and at Easter
the clever confectioner now puts these
up with the Easter card which will be
needed.

T0DAY'S BEAUTY TALK

You can make a delightful shampoo
with very little effort and for a very
trifling cost, II you get from your drug
gist a package of canthrox and dissolve
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water.
Your shampoo is now ready. Just pour
little at time on the scalp and rub
briskly. This creates an abundance of
thick, white lather that thoroughly dis
solves and removes the dandruff, excess
oil and dirt. After rinsing, the hair dries
quickly, with a fluffiness that makes 1t
seem heavier than 1t is. and takes on a
rich luster and a softness that makes
arranging 1t a pleasure.-Adv.

OF the undertaking allotted OF the

out at the exereme east end.
A cinder driveway is being laid
around the athletic field proper. west

ORDINANCE PASSED
AFTER STORMY MEET

The city commission this afternoon
rescinded action taken yesterday re-
jecting the annual appropriation ord
/ nance and it was passed by unani-
nous vote, this disposition following
the sJormiest session of the council
since the adoption of the present form
Of government
The mayor and two of the commits
sioners were opposed to the bill as
it stood, the mayor because he main
tanned action thereon should be unan-
imOus, and the commissioners because
the 10 per cent estimate of revenues
is slightly lower than the amount
called for
In the present fracas there was just
hint of politics being played Ger
tain commissioners seemed to think
that too much appropriation had been
given to other departments This was
probably the secret of the whole al
fair
When the saloons were closed last
spring revenue of approximately
$69 600 was taken from the city. There
is nothing which can overcome this
deficit, except taxes on personal prop
erty. and, naturally. it is impossible
to raise these enough to cover the
whole or any great portion of the Ii
quor revenue.
With this in view, il seems to be an
especially close piece of economy to
have cut the appropriation as much
has been done. The bill as it stands
exceeds by only $4,000 the legal IS
per cent Of estimated revenue. This
sum, Of course, may never be spent,
but il required the closest kind of fig
uring on the part of each commits
sioner TO bring the appropriation
amount as low as has been done.
