BEAUTY IN COMMON THINGS
Exquisite Ornaments for the Liv-
ing Room Flower Vases.

Have you ever thought of going to
the kitchen garden to find something
wherewith to fill your flower vases,
when nothing can be found in your
garden proper? asks a writer in Chris
tan Science Monitor. Why wander aim
leSsly around that said garden, just be-
cause it is a flower garden, when a
little farther on in the kitchen garden
that gorgeous blaze of pale lemon
color is just the thing to go with your
deep-blue jars and jugs. But" you
will probably say, that's caulitlower
gone to seed, and who w heard of
decorating a drawing room with cauli-
f1ower?"
Prejudice, mere prejudice! Cast it
to the winds, you will never regret it,
and go and cut spray after spray Of
those delicate lemon blossoms, being
careful to strip the leaves from the
stems, then collect all the deep-blue
Chinese jars and wedgwood jugs you
can muster, arrange the cabbage flow
ers therein, and, judiciously placed on
chests, window stills and bureaus, their
effect will be absolutely charming.
The blossoms seem to arrange them
selves, each spray standing out clear
ly from the parent stem, not all falling
together as laburnum has a way of
doing, when one tries to arrange it in
vases. A combination Of warm-gray
stone walls, old prints, pale blue and
mauve chintzes, and the pale-clear
lemon of cauliflower blossoms in blue
Jars in quite delightful, though other
color schemes would give an equally
happy effect.

There lived with an eminent divine

his young daughter was brought to
him by her governess.

"How terrible" responded the di-
vine. 'Did you call your Aunt Mary
this awful thing?
"No, father. I didn't" faltered the
youngster. Il called her a fool-but
not a-a-a id fool"
"Well, even that is very wicked OF
you," he replied, ''but as you did not
use that awful adjective I will forgive
you. You may 60" And he returned
to his writing.
The youngster, however, did not go

G~low-worms haunt the open, weedy-

roads. Here, after dusk, they scatter
the grass with points of golden-grcen

than a cold radiance-warmer than
many stars. AT short range its bril-
lance is extraordinary: but it does
not penetrate and only reveals a few
grass blades and inches of earth
