There is cherished legend In the
East that the Rose OF Jericho first
blossomed at the birth OF Jesus, closed
al the crucifxiOn, and opened again
at Easter, from which comes it's maine
Of Resurrection flower.
Many plants. trees and flowers are
believed TO owe their peculiarlties TO
their connection with the birth or the

Bethlehem" is so called because It's
white starlike flowers resemble the
pictures of the Star Of the East.
"Our Lady's Bedstraw" received It's
name because II was believed that the
manger in which the Babe lay was
filled with this plant.
An old account tells the story In
this manner: The broom and the
chick-peas began to rustic and crackle,
and by this noise betrayed the fugi-

for her. Mary was near a juniper; the
hospltable tree opened its branches as

Child within their folds, arordlng
them secure hiding place. Then the
Virgin uttered a maledlctlon against
the brComs and the chlck-peas, and
ever since tina, day they have always
rustled and cracked. But later the
Virgin pardoned the fax IFS weakness
and gave the Juniper her blessing,

Which Women DO the
Men Admire?>

Out of great mass of writings on
the subject. weN are led to believe
| that women dress for the men. I'VE
do not venture this rs our own opin-
ion.)
DO men admire the Fluffy Ruff
fics' type of woman, the Dresden
China Doll, the fragile creature walk
Ing on fragile heels? or do they adj
mire the girl whose color comes from
nature, who walks with natural
grace, whose clothes bespcak intclli-
gent ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS who smile
like good pals?
There is time and n place for the
high heel and the pointed toe-at
dances and other drcssy functions.
But the vast majority of worth while
men do admire the woman who goes
to business. who does hcr shopping.
who takes her afternoon stroll In
good looking, sensible Cantilcvcr
Shoes.
Ask any husband which type OF
shoes he admires on his wife's foot
the high heel and sharp toe, or the
medium heel and the moderate toe.
Nine out of ten men prefer to sec
the woman they admire wearing
hcalthful end helpful shoes.

The melancholy days are here
The saddest OF all | am told.
OF weeping winds and naked fields
And meadows dressed In gold.
Heaped about In the hollows
The fallen leaves lie dead.
They rustic in the shifting breeze
And to the puppy's tread.
Above the sound OF the weeping
wind.
A dropping nut is heard.
The squirrel jumps behind limb
When Autumn leaves are stirred.
The fading leaves of honeysuckle,
That twines around the posts,
Now look like Indian princes
But soon will pale like ghosts.
The migratory birds have flown,
But friendly Bob White stays,
And stands about in sunny spots
In cool October days.
The thrifty farmer garners In
His wealth OF golden corn.
The Goddess of Plenty smiles
From out her lavish horn.
And when the wide old kitchen
hearth
Sends up it's smoky curls
He eats his bowl Of bread and milk
AS he praises farmer girls,
