politics, but my friends have put tho
matter before me in such light that

plans and enter the race. Having 30

Is Secret of Folks, Like Flowers, Have
Smooth Work Place
a Place
By Winifred Black

Of white organdy and look exactly
right
II l were a man, should never
send any flowers to a woman I
loved-but violets.
They're so mysterious, so sub
tie; they say so many things, and
In their strange, fragrant hearts
they hide so many secrets.
Do people ever make you think
OF flowers? They do me. l met a
woman the other night at a dinner,
dark and slender and exotic, yet
somehow very quiet and with a re-
serve that made you wonder what
was behind It.
Which Are YOui
Was she q violet woman? No,
not quite-a tribe too pronounced
for that A fuchsia she was. AIRED
and purple one, set in a great gar
den Of love and confidence. Yet
there was no fragrance about her.
somehow-they say she married
for money.
A violet woman would never do
that, would she?
A rose woman might-a red,
gorgeous, queenly rose. Queens
must have thrones, you know. and
1t takes money to buy them these
days. But | know a white rose girl
who is rich herself and who wishes
she were poor, so that she would
be sure the man who says he is in
love with her really isn't in love
with her money.
Carnations? One OF my dearest
friends Is a carnation. dark-eyed.
brown-haired, deep-volced. and
with a spice Of sudden temper
about her that's refreshing once in
q while.
The lilies Of the valley? I
know lots of them, don't you?
They mostly come from New Eng
land, 1t seems to me, and so dees
the mignonette, demure and quiet,
but strong and wholesome. too.
All the mignonettes are splen-
did housekeepers, and the lilies OF
the valley read poetry and quote
Emerson and Thoreau. But for
me, choose violets, white or pur-
pie or even yellow.
When you look away from them
for a while and then look back
again, there they always are,
sweeter and prettier than you
dared to hope.
And isn't 1t nice OF them to
blossom for us on the trays OF the
street vendors in the dead of
winter?
