PINK MAYFLOWERS.

The little mayf1ower, or arbutus, is 9
great favorite of mine.
Not only is the mayflower sweet
smelling, but it is sweet tasting, as any
little bumblebee can tell you. On the
hillsides or the borders of rocky woods
where the flower generally grows, you
will In the springtime find swarms OF
the bumblebees hanging around the
flowers, into which they dive for q
drink Of their delicious nectar.
/ must tell you how the mayflower
got its name.
/ have told you Of the brave white
people who first came to live in this
country nearly 800 years ago. They
reached the land in the fall, and in
Massachusetts, where they had come
to stay, that winter was a very cold
one. They suffered much because the
food was scarce and the clothes which
they had were not warm enough. Their
English homes had been warm and
comfortable. but in the American for
est they had only poorly built log cab
ms, through the cracks in which the
chill winds often whiStled.
When the hungry wolves howled
around their doors on wild nights or
they could see the Indians watching
them from behind the trees in the
great uncleared forest no doubt they
Dften longed for the pleasant English
towns they had left. For the women
md children who had to stay much in
doors it was very hard indeed.
But by and by spring came, and then
the settlers were able to be out once
more. And great was their delight
when the leaves came out on the trees,
when the bushes in the forest clothed
themselves in green and the grass ev-
erywhere became fresh and bright.
Here and there in the woods flowers
began to appear and first of all among
them the little pink flower which we
have named the mayfiower.
The little children gathered them and
carried them home to show their de-
lighted parents.
And the women dug them up and
tried to plant them around the cabins
to begin little gardens. gardens that
they meant to make as much as they
could like the loved gardens which
they bad left with their homes across
the ocean.
The flowers grew all about the pine
groves of old Plymouth. where the
people had settled. and because the
flowers had come to them in May and
because the name of the good ship that
had brought them to America had been
called the Mayfower they so named
the flower

ULTRA Millinery.
How the Chinese Idea 10
Colorins the New Headaear.

This season seems to have brought
with it two very different and distinct
styles Of hats, one in the usual colors
and the other a strong Chinese note
which dominates everything and pro
duces most weird but wonderful eff
fects.
In the first class there is hat some
what small in shape, with round, high
crown and narrow brim turned down
This hat is entirely Of soft peach col.
ored Grape. Directly in the front are
two round, fat ornaments meant to
represents flowers. One is Of Grape and
the other Of satin. Both are pink, but
one is slightly deeper in color than the
satin one.
On either side Of the flowers are
leaves made of twisted loops Of panne
velvet, held In place with tiny invisible
stitches. 1t is a very sweet and dainty
hat and one which any home milliner
can copy, for the fat flowers are made
exactly like fiat cardboard pincushions
covered with satin or velvet, only IT
would be better to substitute buckram
for cardboard.
After the circles are covered with the
material buttonhole stitch around the
edge with heavy silk Of the same color,
making the stitches a quarter Of an
inch long and the same distance apart
The wonderful silks used to trim
these hats are often dull in color, with
here and there a truly oriental design
embroidered or printed I'm the most
blazing colors.
A hat will have a crown covered with
silk as described and q plain upper
brim and the under brim of some soft
color near the face and an all over silk
pattern near the edge, three entirely
different observation-disclosures in tex
ture, design and color-all on one hat,
yet In perfect harmony of color.
The conservative woman may not
look upon these hats with favor, but
sooner or later. being a woman, she
will succumb to the charm Of these
wonderful oriental effects. which are
chiefly Chinese in character.
Tassels still demand attention, even
on hats. A hat of dull blue straw
trimmed with black silk, with here and
there blue, green and gold motif, had
a long tassel extending from the center
Of the crown down over the brim. This
tassel was fastened to an odd cord af-
fair partly made of ribbon and partly
of straw. 1t started from the center Of
a stiff little upright ruff1e of black rib
bon on the crown, and near the end
where the black and gold tassel was at
tached was an odd tricolored carved
bead.

KEEP YOUR FLOWERS.
Bloom May Be Prolonged by Follow
ina These TIPS,


ing These Tips.
Some women seem to have q magic
way with flowers. They can throw
in seed and blooms will spring up.
They can wear a corsage bouquet a
whole evening and never have it wilt,
and, as for cut flowers. they can keep
them for weeks. it seems. Some one
has said that it is the true flower lover
who has such luck. and of course a
woman must love flowers to want TO
have them and keep them. but some
times, in spite of the best intentions
they do not know how to give cut flow
ers long life.
There are several secret methods
which flower lovers practice to keep
the cut blooms fresh beyond the usual
length of time. Every one knows that
to cut off bit of the stems of flowers
every day before immersing them in
fresh water will prolong their life
Every one does not know, however.
that with woody stems it is a good
plan to peel or cut away part of the
hard bark so that the stem can absorb
moisture.
A night bath for sturdy blooms is
refreshing. Throw them, flowers and
all, into a basin of clean water.
The hot water bath will bring ap-
parently wilted blooms to life. Place
the cut stems of the flowers in a jar
of steaming hot water and allow them
to remain there an hour or so until the
water has cooled off. If the flowers
are very wilted lump of camphor in
the hot water will sometimes react
upon them quicker. Salt water will re-
vive some flowers more quickly than
anything else.
A corsage bouquet which cannot be
united can be sprinkled with water
and kept In the icebox overnight.
A florist gives the following way Of
keeping blooming flowers for several
weeks: Stick the stalks Of the flowers
In several inches Of damp sand which
has been placed in a bowl Cover
them with a glass jar or tumbler and
move to a cool place where the sun
will not reach them.
Flowers benefit by massage. The
Japanese find this a successful way Of
training blossoms with soft stems In
the way they should go.
Never keep flowers In a warm room
overnight or In the bedroom either.

ABOUT BABY WEEK
The ChiIdren's Bureau Has Start
ed the Campaign.
HOW ABOUT YOUR OWN TOWN?

First Week of May Is the Best Time,
but Plan Your Work So II Best Fits
In With Local Conditions and Pre-
pares For Summer.
| Prepared by the children's bureau.
Washington
The 1917 baby week bids fair to be
an even bigger, more worth while cele-
bration than last years, but 1916 will
: keep the distinction Of being the year
when each community's provision for
the welfare of its babies was general
ly recognized as civic responsibility.
Have your baby week from the list
to the 9Th Of May If possible. This
date has been agreed upon by the bu-
reau and the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs as the time best adapt
ed to the varying conditions of differ
ent states.
1t requires only twelve months for
a baby to become one year old and
no longer subject to the hazards Of
infant mortality, but there are still
many risks for him to encounter. He
is still absolutely helpless, although in
creasingly charming, and his parents
are as eager to keep him well and hap
py, as DESTROYS Of sound advice, as they
were last year. Open out the 1917
baby week to include all children still
at home with their mothers.
Remember the mothers. Well cared
for, healthy mothers are necessary for
the health and happiness of their ba-
bies. Find out what your community
is doing to insure to every mother
skilled advice and adequate care be-
fore and after her baby is born and
give the Importance of protecting the
mother a prominent place in the edu-
cational work Of the campaign.
And one word to communities where
infantile paralysis has been epidemic:
Mothers should be urged to leave the
baby at home during baby week. Any
feature Of the campaign involving the
bringing together Of numbers of babies
must of course be omitted, but such
features are not essential to the inter
est and success Of a campaign. And
OdDy "CCh VIII dhOlu dh cACcIlcuL up
portunity for giving information as to
the proper physical training Of children
with paralyzed muscles.
The baby week emphasizes the con-
structive side Of infant care. 1t ad-
dresses not only individual parents, but
communities.
The best test Of its value will be the
work that follows it.
Undoubtedly every state board of
health should secure what only six
states have at present-a special divi-
sion of child hygiene. No city or town
should fail to provide instructive nurs-
ing service and to pay constant heed
to the problems of hygiene and santa
ton, of proper housing and of recrea-
ton spaces, since all these Immediate
ly affect the welfare Of infants.
There are 5000 counties in the Unit
ed States. In every county seat there
should be a center for the health work
Of that county, a station for examin-
ing babies and older children and for
furnishing expert advice for keeping
them well-in short, a health teaching
center
