TN ID you ever stand by and watch
 some one open box of flowers or basket of posies from the garden and wonder just what they were going to do with them. There they were together-roses, sweet williams honey suckle, peonies, iris and others. As they lay there they did not make a very inn posing impression and even their lovely scent was rather vague ard confusing.
 But just let the fingers of some one who is clever at arranging flowers touch them and watch them change as in the twinkle of an eye Out of the confusion ccmes beauty nd order.
 The iris are placed in a flat blue bowl held upright in the back Of metal frog or turtle. The roses are sorted as to color, and then arranged loosely in glass or pottery bowls. The lupins are grouped in tall glass vases, The peonies are grouped with pink and white or red and white together, but not with pink and red, and then they are placed in jars just tall enough to give support to their heavy stems and foliage.
 The honeysuckle is placed in vases big enough to give it such water as it needs. and the sweet william is grouped rather closely in rather low bowls. And then comes the placing of the dishes, which is every bit as important as the Arrang Ing or Ine lfOWefS- 1ue litli6 ulSheS- oI honeysuckles are placed on high mantels and the tops of Dooksheives, so that enc looks down oE them
 The tall peonies are placed on the floor where they get briglt shafts of light to bring out all thei~ lovely color. The lovely lupins are put in fr@nt of a mArror on table Or shelf. The iris in their flat dishes are put CT tables, below the level of the eye.
 The Shops NAltb their constantly char ing array of dishes for flowers are a 1aelp and inspiration, for they suggest new ways of arranging old favortes. The tendency at present is to use tall va ses for everything that has stems long enough to be arranged in that way.
 But be careful Don't follow this fashion blindly. Remember that some

while complete details are lack :

Gandil and Cicotte by appointment.
They adjourned 20 the rooms OF the
automobile club, where a fair meas
ure OF secrecy was assured them.
There the scheme was broached ana

Then followed the meeting with

IIams. At that time II was assured
that the plan was a success and all
would go through as scheduled.

that not one OF them would consider

Doom then related how. after the

was approached by a man in the visit

cat the time we were approached
the PhiladelphIa club was entirely
out OF the race. A matter OF two or
three games one way or the other
would have made no difference in
our standing, but IL would have
meant a great deal to the Giants, and
IL would have meant a great deal
more to the gamblers. But we were
de termined that the series would have
TO be decided on its merits and that
II we could beat the Giants we would
do so. Those who remember the Sc
ries will recall how Harry Covelesbie,
a brother of the man who Is now
pitching for Cleveland, peat the
Giants three times during the week"
The Giant players In that series
were not very careful In the manner
in which they ran the bases. accord
ing to Doom. with the result that
some OF the Quaker infielders were
cut by spikes. The former star
catcher said that Doolan had three
pairs Of shoes so badly cut that they
were useless. But the players
would not remain on the bench in
spite Of their injuries" said Dooins
las long as an attempt TO brtbe
them had been made they were de-
termined not TO quit. Any of the
Philadelphia playery could have de-
mande led and received a fabulous price

didn't fall"
Doom was pressed TO tell about
his kidnapping, but he preferred 10
dismiss IL by simply saying that while
he was in New York during the series
he was told that some one wanted "a

avenue. He did not suspect anything
crooked and went TO the address
When he arrived there he was locked
