Velvet Blossoms at Judge slIPs Used
 to Garry Cheer te Sluns.

Visitors at the home of Judge ana Mrs. A. G. Bin on Maple street, Riv- erview, are amazed at the nagnincance of the pansy beds that occupy d ae- cluded corner of the pretty estate. There are thousands of blossoms now, and the height of the towering pe- riod has passed.
 Miss Marjorie Bin is naalxirSs use of her opportunity to place thousands of the pansies to a use that brings joy and sunshine into hearts and homes that are cold and dreary. Each week she picks great quantities of the beu- tifuI flowers and forwards them by mail to a friend who is a settlement worker in the sIums of New York where velYety pansy is to many like the glint of an angels wing. This friend distributes the pansies to cnia- dren, many of whom walk for blocks just to get a single blossom.

man and had driven this ''black sheep
of the family into exile. Rumor had
it that Roland was banished to some
remote, western rapch. There was a
hint Of arrest being threatened had
he remained in town. Guilty or in
nocent, however, Roland Dexter had
faded out Of EIlice's life. He had not
written her a line since his abrupt
disappearance.
Lacey Delavan was somewhat of
a chum for Roland, but when Ellice
asked him for details Of the cause of
Roland's departure Delevan simply
shrugged his shoulders, declared he
knew only that it was some Jail Of
Tense" and Ellice almost hated him
for the cold-blooded sneer. Since
then Delevan had worked himself
into the good graces of Mrs. Barton
and called regularly upon Ellice once
a week, despite the cold and distant
way in which Ellice received his I'M
welcome attentions.
She was all on fire with indigna-
ton and resentment one especial
evening when he called, for there had
appeared in the weekly paper one of
those broad hints at ga local. engage
ment between two Of the bright stars
in our social armament. 1.-THE initials
palpabIy indicated Ellice and Dele
van. Ellice fairly cried oyer it. When
Delevan called, however, his disa-
vowal of any hand in the publicity
seemed so sincere that Ellice excul-
pated him, but she did not change
her disaffected hearing toward him
in any way.
Of all this Ellice was thinking as
she tidied up the kitchen, removed /
her work apron and went into the sit
ting room to rest. She was, indeed,
tired, for she had worked hard, and
she drifted into a delicious slumber
before she knew it. The old clock
jangling out five awakened her. FL

claimed, as she came in sight Of her
afternoon cookery set out to cool, for
the doughnut bowl was half denuded,
and the cookie heap had visibly~ di-
minished. And there under a fork
on the board was a dollar bill, and
-scrawled on bit of paper were the
extraordinary words: Hungry, but
honest.
In profound amazement Ellice was
trying to solve the mystery of the
moment when Mrs. Barton returned.
"The whole batch didn't cost a dol
lar, Ellice," was her philosophical de-
duction. cit must have been a we'll
meaning tramp to pay so literally,
though"
Lacey Delevan came around before
dusk. There was a game of croquet
and he was invited to hang up his
coat on a tree limb as the weather
was warm. He left, early, for Ellice
was not very sociable. He had been
gone only half an hour when he re-
turned in a great urry. He had missed
a valuable memorandum book out of
his coat pocket. It must have fallen
out when he took off his coat, he
suggested
Ellice got a lantern and they went
out into the garden, but there was
no trace found of the missing article
and Delevan went away looking wor-,
ried and alarmed, hoping that he
might have left the memorandum
book at home.
EIlice, taking another search after
his departure, gave start, as, pass
ing among some bushes, her name
was spoken.

speaker came into view. It was Ro-

INDIVIDUALITY IN GOLF
Men Who Toss Tradition to the Wind.
and Neglect Good Form.

Every golfer knows at least one
player who losses tradition and the
history Of the ages to the winds and
plays with an inverted grip OF his
club-lcft hand below the right. In
MIGRATING souls these usually are. of
sturdy individuality and much cheer
ful talk. OF course, they never can
play golf beyond the tiddlcdy-wink
stage. II they appeared on an Eng
liSh golf course they would probably
hc shot nj sunrise. But in this land
OF the free they live and smile and
never awake to their infamy.
Having aired our proper scorn of
this aversion Of a noble ritual. we can
now proceed to the more Interesting
question of whether such vagarics are
not. on the whole, rather typical Of
American sports. Not in the case OF
football or rowing or any specialized
college athletics. perhaps. But in the
general run of outdoor sport. golf and
tennis. for example. what good Amer
lean cares a boot for style or rules or
undying principles? The golfer with
the inverted grip may he n shade cx-
travaGant in his bumptjous individual
ism. His spirit is very generally
shared. We. hate the bother of les
sons. We lOathc the routine OF prac-
ticc shots. We are out to play, not
work. is tho way we put it, Most of us
know vaguely that n few months work
i'Npt VI Tic reimbursement OF
rect strokes, of sound style would
make real players Of us for the resi-
Of our lives. But we prefer to 70
laundering on our several paths we
want 10 sing without having our voices
placed: we want to play without
learning the notes.
The same point of view often con-
trolls even in those select mortals who
through extraordinary skin rank with
the great tradition. McLouchlin. for
example, developed his natural tennis
strokes to n wonderful pitch. vet to
his final undoing, he neglected to
round out his game in sound fashion
at Its weakest point. The cxceptionaI
American figure for contrast is Il. Nor
ris Williams. III, whose game was
painstakingly developed by profession
ais In true European fashion. Here.
In the loftier walks Of sport. tho Amer
lean system probably works for oriri
nality and the development of new
strokes and tactics. Tho English sys-
tenn undoubtedly produces far larger
crop of sound players.-New York
