THE PASSION FLOWER

The passion flower is symbolic of religious superstition. When the Spanish missionaries following in the steps of the invaders of South Amer ica, discovered the gorgeous passion flower, they deemed it to be sent them as an aid in converting the natives to the Christian religion.
 The flower is dedicated to All Saint s day.
 At the request of Queen Victoria, a wreath of passion flowers was laid upon the grave of Abraham Lincoln.
 The interpretation
 The Spanish missionaries thought 1t to be the most wonderful illustration of the cross triumphant in the nature world. The following symbolical in l depreciation was given: The column rising from the center of the flower represents the beam of ] the cross while the small stems above it represent the nails. Above the col umn is the corona which symbolizes l the crown of thorns. while the veil ol | fine hairs. amounting to 72 signifies | the number of thornS. The seed vessel is the sponge filled with vinegar which quenched thirsf l of the Savior, and the five. vivid red I spots upon each of the leaves are Hi five wounds. Because of this, thu Spaniards call it the flower of the five 1 wounds.
 What SepaIs Represent
 The five sepals and the five petal are the ten apostles, Judas, the be l trayer, and Peter. who denied the Savior. being omitted

 Chrys had procured recipes of some of the old time cookery, including special kind of plum cake called 'lec- ton treat. The "Sub-debs' had the honor of waiting upon the tables and of collecting the profits from the same all of which went to pay for publishing printed instructions concerning mod ern methods of voting. Chrys felt sure that after the women had seen the various ways of voting, beginning with the first rude unlocked ballot-box and ending with the modern voting ma- chine, they would be convinced that the difficulties of casting a ballot are not beyond their physical strength.
 She refused to have any program sellers. She didn't want her audience exasperated before the affair was started, as so often happens at popular l fetes where the sweet little "debbies' | charge 90 cents for a program and in- variably are unable to make change! l That particular kind of d hold-up is ceasing to be fashionable.

Near 1y all vegetables lose some of their sweetness after they have been picked several hours. small amount of sugar added to the water in which they cook restores the natural sweetness.
