A flower exists as an expression Of
beauty, But its beauty cannot be ex-
pressed unless il has room to show it
self. One Of the easiest ways to md

offered for sale In many of the shops
Of the larger cities. They vary great :
ly in form, size. color and decoration,
but all have hole in one side near
the top by means OF which they can
be hung upon hook in wall or
doorway, Consequently one can use
them as iardinteres for living plants
or I'LL them with water to hold cut

Americans are known to have such
a passion. it was only natural that she
should weep, that being the form of
feminine American speech with which
she was most familiar. But her real
grievance was that when she bought
meat it was sent to her home in an

could not afford to pay for having her
meat sent to her in an automobile.
She could see. too that even though
she brought home her own meat. she
was still paying for some other woman
to have her meat sent home in an
automobile, Therefore she was P,ev-

fast as it came in and she wept still
more. In fact. she became hystcrcal.
Her husband, not being able to com

the board of mental examiners.
The board rendered a decision as
