SAY TT WITH FLOWERS.
by MAX sCHLING.

ITO tell you that you are first in my
thoughts to-day, send you not souve-
Mrs of war but symbols of life. love
and beauty"
The above was the writing on a card
sent from France by a father who
asked me in his letter to send flowers
to his daughter for her birthday and
to enclose the card with the flowers.
One cannot realize what SAY It with
flowers" really means until receiving
y message of this kind. Symbols OF
life, love and beauty" signifying every
thing that makes life worth living. 1t
is Saying ii with flowers" that makes
florists father confessOrs to humanity.
When little children, rich or poor, wish
fathers they come to us for just one
flower. Some have only five cents and
others fifty times as much; IT is not
80 much the amount they have TO eX-
pend that concerns them but what

We florists do not stand for con-
ventionalities. We just transmute our
selves into children and act as a child
would naturally act selecting a flower
here and there. that flower carrying
the thought OF the child TO its parents
no matter what the occasion may be.

and other special days might be
greatly increased.
The sale of flowers and plants at
Christmas is about one quarter what
it should be. There are but two days
in the year when the demand is what
might be expected, Easter and Me-
mortal Day. and the demand on the
latter day should be greater than II is.
The florists themselves are to blame
for the fact that flowers in New York
are not commonly used for decorating
homes, stores, desks OF business men
show windows and many other pur-
poses.
Nothing gives as distinctive and ar
tistic appearance to a home as few
flowers rightly placed.

ply to wordless messages brought to
her by flowers.
Flowers are symbols Of life, love and
beauty, messages from one loving
being to another. Young and old
utilize the floral messages for the vari-
! Gus happy and sorrowful events. Flow
ers beautifully express the most tender
sentiments.
Florists, idealists that they are. Sc
lected "say It with flowers" as their
advertising slogan. The sentiment in
spires both the purchaser and the
florists, who appreciate the fact that
flowers help to make our lives more
/ beautiful.

The fact that this. the second Sun
day in May, is Mothers Day is known
to every one in the vicinity OF New
York. owing TO the enterprise OF the
retail florists OF the city, who have
made the day household word by
their liberal advertising.
This sarcasm may make local for
lists angry, but II it wakes them up
to the possibilities OF newspaper ad-
vertising will be satisfied for the
benefit done the trade, even though it
may not be appreciated now.
New York florists, as a whole, are
the poorest advertisers in any city in
the country. and they are where the
possibilities are greatest.

Plants of two varieties are offered

inches In diameter, and Excelsum, with
orange yellow flowers.

THE Marriage Question

The engagement OF Hazel Warren al
the Lyric on next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday in THE Marriage Question,
her latest success written by Ralph T
lettering and Lorin Howard, brings
home an interesting point In the career
of this much loved and much lauded
actress who Is accorded the distinction
OF being the most popular feminine star
of Manhattan,
Hazel Warren was born in Virginia
and attended a public school, As a
child she nursed the desire to play
parts on the stage and as she grew to
maturity through girlhood there arose
within her an ambition to become a
leading actress with her name In big
etters upon the front Of the theater.
Her career has not been an easy one.
Probably no. actress ever mounted to
fame over rougher road. Harrassed
by more apparently insurmountable OBJ
staces, she started as a child enter
tainer in cheap vaudeville theaters. She
sang little, danced a little, and she
is the authority for the statement that
che was very poor entertainer. By
hard and harder knocks she achieved
the fame which she strived for, that
today her services are In great demand,

HOIU S'ut Christmas
Tree Wisely GiUen
By Aggie DepGrtm't

Washington, Dec. lS.-A particular
ly appropriate opportunity to display
the Christmas spirit, according to Of
ficials of the forest service of the
United States department OF agrcul-
ture, is the manner in which persons
getting Christmas trees direct from
the forests cut the evergreens for
their holiday celebration. Each year
thousands Of dwellers in towns and
cities, near the national forests or
privately owned forests turn to these
tracts for trees which are to be the
central features in Yuletide decora-
tions. Where the trees are cut in
accord with the recommendations of
the forest service no harm is done,
but the tendency of many is to slash
into the growth without regard to
conserving the forests resources.
The point particularly emphasized
by the governments foresters is that
a tree selected for cutting should be
one which is part of a group of
trees of comparatively compact
growth rather than more or less
Isolated tree, the absence of which
would make a decided gap that fu-
ture growth could not fill To follow
this rule, of course, prevents the
wholesale stripping of wooded tracts,
which is done in many instances
Objection is sometimes made to Sc
lecting for Christmas purposes a tree
standing close to others, because the
one chosen is apt to be unsymmetri-
cal, the lower branches particularly
being irregular and unattractive.
This difficulty can be overcome by
selecting a tree several feet taller
than the height desired and cutting
off the lower end. BY using only the
upper portion a well-shaped pleasing
ornament can be obtained, and at the
same time a selection is made which
results in no harm to the forest.
Wherever possible local forest SER
vice officials are glad to recommend
areas under their Jurisdiction in
which it is entirely proper to make
cuttings of Christmas trees, and it is
urged that their recommendations
both as to sites for cutting and the
method of selecting individual trees
be followed carefully. There is wide
spread sentiment against disregard of
conservation by thoughtless telling Of
Christmas trees in private holdings,
an dthe forest service is heartily in
