Strange Plant

One of the most interesting plants
we have in the Atlantic states is the
Virginia wild ginger. 1t is found in
both the Virginas and as far south as
Georgia. There are several other spe-
cies in the Atlantic states as far south
as Florida and northward to Connecti- =
cut. The plant grows in very hilly and
wooded places, says the American For
estry Magazine, and is easily recognized
by it's kidney shaped leaves and curious
purplish brown flowers. These flowers
grow one to a stem. No living thing
will eat its bitter leaves and you rarely
see the flower unless you hunt for it,
for they hide themselves out of sight
il possible. The readers of this news :

about plant and tree care by writing to

She Married Him

Dear Cynthia---While reading your
wonderful column | came across letter
signed Fair Nineteen" VIII you
kindly publish my answer?
Fair Nineteen YOU did perfectly
right not TO kiss the boy, even though
it was a great temptation. Let me re-
late to you a short story taken from my
diary eve lived in New Orleans; my
parents were very wealthy, and when |
graduated from boarding school my par
cnts gave me a reception. at which I
met Il nice young man who had made
friends with the family while I was at
school.
81 danced with him quite number
of times. and it seemed as if it were
| love at first sight on both parts. Be
fore the last dance we walked in the
gardens; he asked me to kiss him. I
was half tempted to. when suddenly
remembered my mother saying Never
kiss any man, other than your father,
unless you are engaged to him. I fol
| lowed my conscience and refused him.
"The next season my mother gave a
ball, to which he was invited. When I
entered the ballroom he was standing
in the doorway. I bowed and he
shrugged his shoulders.
1--WE did not speak for one year and
eight months, and then on the eve of
my birthday anniversary he sent an
apology through a mutual friend.
"The next day. my birthday. he came
to see me. and he told me how much
he admired me for my womanly ways,
and that during those two trying years
he found that the majority of girls allow
every Tom. Dick and Harry to kiss
them as they please. That very night
accepted his proposal and now I am
married to this very man for seventeen
years.
MY dear girl. you asked girl or
hoy reader to answer you, but. my dear,
] am not girl any more. I am thirty
six years of age now. and
"a WOMAN, WIFE AND MOTHER. "
