 STAGE, NOW BLIND
Famous Star For Quarter of Century Found Penniless, Given Chance
 For Living.

New York, Dec. 2S.--Mollie Fuller came back to the stage last night The audience in Brooklyn theater laughed at the lines she had, and lis tened appreciatively while she sang. No one knew that Mollie came back to the stage totally blind. Molly Full Ter first became known as a member of Henry F. Dixey's company in "Adonis'. Later with her husband as Hallen and Fuller, she played vaudeville houses over the country for 25 years.
 Friends found her last week in a hotel room, penniless, alone and blind. They arranged an act, provided set ting and obtained engagements. The part is ingeniously arranged to con- ceal her blindness.
 'I thought never could act again." Miss Fuller said. But next week we're going back to Broadway It seems too good to be true"

How Do You Show
You Love Flowers2
PAGE TWO

Almost every one, junior or
grown-up, likes flowers, but differ.
ent people show their love and ap-
probation of flowers in different
ways. Some people wish to pick
every flower they see, and often it
happens that the flowers are
dropped along the way or wither
by being carried a long distance
held tightly in the hand, or some
times they are laid down on a
tree stump, or on the porch while
visiting, or on the school desk,
where they are left too long with
out water. and they wither. Does
this show a very sensible love of
flowers?
Or, is the love and delight OF
flowers shown to finer degree
when we can step into the woods
and look at the carpet of spring
beauties nodding brightly in their
pink and white dresses and not
rush at once to pick them, wanting
to pick every one we see, and as a
result trampling down many so
they do not come up again, and
having such a large bouquet that
we scatter them all along the
road on the way home, withered
and colorless. The next visitor to
the wood then misses much of the
beauty to which we responded so
gladly. The same is true of our
own gardens.
1t pleases us to have some flow
ers in our homes: they brighten
and add color to the rooms, but
often small bouquets may be much
more artistically arranged than
the larger ones and we may leave
many flowers in our lawns and
yards out in the air and alive
where they probably like most tot
be- and where greater number of
people can enjoy their nodding
beauty and color.
