Ike to study law, it had been arranged
for him. His father only said:
"Of all contemplate things, the
meanest is to make SON take up
work which isn't his"
So Jimmie studied law, then he went
into an office and moved upward until
he had been an assistant district attor-
uey in New York. His brilliant work
had won him a big reputation.
Life was so full of pleasures and
of joys and OF everything going on
smoothly, happily. And the last and
the greatest of all the happiness he
had known had been when he had
loved and found that he had won the
heart of Beth Gray.
There had been only one incident
which, as Jimmie now looked back
upon his life, had at all made him
unhappy, and he thought of IL but sci.
dom now.
One of the boys he had liked best
at first at college. and who had had
many winning qualities, had turned
out to be the worst sort of scoun-
drel. He had cribbed in examinations,
cheated in games, and used money
which had not belonged TO him They
had rule az college by which the
student body copld expel, and they
had expelled Arthur Cogswen.
Jimmie's establishment in his
friend had been his only tragedy
Never had he forgotten the look or
Arthur's face and the fiery red of the
long narrow scar over his right eye
when he said, as he gritted his teeth
II know you're Irresponsible for this
(Arthur often made VS. Of his r's.]
and I'll get you for il some day, if il
takes me all my life"

A COMMUNITY FLOWER
n NEW IDEA FOR TOWNS
Women Suggest That Each Place
Have It's Own Floral
Emblem.

Some communities are famed for this
or that historic building, their manu-
facturcrs, some picturesque human land
mark whose ecCentricitles have put the
place upon the map; but who has ever
thought OF making a community flower
the basis Of the fame Of q town?
Community flower?
In solemn concavc a community Sc
lccts the coreopsls. let ,is say, as its IA
voritc flower This becomes the emblem
of the community, and everybody who
has a garden and who likes 10 dig and
potter around with flowers makes the
coreopsis the chief end and aim Of most
of the digging In that way every gar
den in that community will soon bios
som forth with a fringe Of joyous, deep
golden-yellow little flowers, bound 10
/ GLADDEN. the eve and heart Of every
/ passerbv from end to end Of the town
mention the corcopsis because il is
a giddy, gaudy, hardy, juhIiaut little
thing, and n sure enough profuse bloomer
1t repavs ono a thousand fold for the
little trouble bestowed upon 1t 10 bring
it into bloom
OF course, other communities may Sc
lcct some other kind Of flower perhaps
a fragrant type of red rose, which
stranger things have happened may
bring q town, long noted for political or
other corruptIons into a good odor again
with the rest of the world.
In any event / think the idea should
be spread This is the kind Of propa-
ganda that hurts no one and benefits all;
Tor flowers, like song, are great chasers
of care and sorrow; they bring n sOoth
/ ing calm into the turbulent heart and
make the sun seem brighter by their
presence.
To spread the gospel of the community
flower it would be a good idea TO seek
for folklore IN connection with each
! flower proposed for adoption IN each
community, and by getting people, es-
pecially the little people, interested IN
the stories about the flowers, the desire
to adopt the particular flower about
which the story is spun would soon en-
gender an interest in the flower itself
Have you ever stopped and consider
ed the width, breadth and fertility of
this fair land of ours? OF course. we
are proud of it, but we are SO apt In
our hurry and hustle to take 1t for granted.
Consider for one moment its possibilities.
Think of the flowers we might have and
the pitiful few we have. Should we not
hang our heads in shame? Well, 1t is
never too late to mend. Soin the year 920
let us dig, hoe, rake, plant and sprinkle
Just twice as hard as we ever did before.
You know it is necessary for lis to do
our bit in times of peace and surely
when we plant flowers we are making
America a better place in which to live,
So let me suggest as a means TO accom-
plish this end that some organization or
group of people in your tCsvn get to-
gether and choose this community flower
+. and then do all they can to make it pop

Treasures Of Egyptian Princess in Met

Senusert IL. pharaoh OF Egypt, who
reigned from 1906 to 1887 B. c.. called
the Princess Sat-hathor-iunut before him
IN his s-palace at Thebes and as a mark Of
his esteem fastened A lion 5 head collar
about her throat and placed upon her
arms bracelets Of gold, carnellan and
turquoise beads ornaTnented with co u
chant gold lions in relief
Jewels. said the king, are gifts

King and princess are numbered
with the dust of centuries. Their pal
aces are ruins. The civilization of ancient
Egypt Is no more. But the gifts OF jewels
which the monarch bestowed upon the
roval maid almost 1000 years ago endure
to this day With many others Of the
princess jewels they were recovered from
her tomb By Flinders Petrle in 1914 and
have recently been added 70 the Egyp-
tan relics in the New York Metropolitan
Museum Of Art.
Professor Petrie. who has been ex-
cayating among Egyptian tombs for
many years, discovered the treasures
In the pyramid Of Lahun. They con
sisted OF 10000 beads, collars, pecto-
rails. armlets. bracelets. amuletS mir
rors, toilet articles, searabs, q jewel
easket. canopic jars and vases Of alabas-
ter, the whole constituting one Of the
most extensive collections of ieweiry ever
found in Egypt
The tomb Of the princess had been
ri1ed by robbers supposedly in the days
Of the Shepherd kings. the mummy had
disappeared and the sarcophagus was
empty But in a recess IN the wall of the
sepuIchre, buried under the hardened,
rocklike mud Of centuries. deposited by
floods, rains and winds, were found the
jewels.
Though the designs are different.
the iewelry of these ancient Egvptians
of the twilight age Of history shows as
cunning skill in workmanship, IN metals
and precious stones as that Of today
There are few OF the pieces that a modern
woman Of fashion would not be delighted
to wear.
