The Opening Of a Lily.

The comparatively rare instances
in which the motions of plants such
Us the opening Of buds into blossoms,
occur during a single brief period Of
watching, always give much pleasure
to the OnIoOker.
An English botanist who has spent
much time in India, tells of species
of lily, Criuum auguStum, which in an
Indian garden opens with uncommon
swiftneSs, Just after a shower of rain
in the evening he saw the pink
striped buds Of one Of these lilies, each
about four inches long, on the point
of opening Passing the plant shortly
afterward, he was surprised to find
the blossoms wide open, and In 20
minutes more the petals had curved
themselves backward like rams horns.
In an hour the points of the petals
had swept over an arc of at least eight
or nine inches

Mrs. Giles w, Mead

The Bloomfield, n. J., Independent
Press has the following under date of
January 6:
"Mrs. Giles W. Mead, who was born
in Vermont, was the daughter OF Je-
he'll and Cynthia Ford. Her girlhood
was spent in the beautiful college town
of Middlebury in the Green Mountains,
Following her marriage to Giles W..
Mead, also of Middlebury, She made
her home in Chicago until in 1906, Mr.
and Mrs. Mead took up their residence
in Glen Ridge, where Mrs. Mead has
been identified with all that has made
for progress in the borough.
She was active in the work of the
Red Cross during the war, serving on
the executive board as chairman of the
committee of supplies. She was val
ued member of the executive board OF
the Women's Club through several ad-
minstrations; was a member OF ,he
Utopian Society and of the Montclalr
Colony of New England Women. Her
social duties were performed with the
grace that was part OF her character,
but her keenest interest lay i'll her
work for church and missions. She|
was chairman of the hospitality com
mittee of the Congrega tional Church
and for several years taught the be
ginners' class in the Sunday school.
Her clear judgment and practical ideas
made her a valuable member of . the
building committee when the church
was rebuilt. She has served as presi-
dent of the Women Missionary Tn
ion, and also as chairman of the fl
nance committee At the time of her
death she was on the Executive Board
of National and State Branches of For
eign Missions.
TO all activities Mrs. Mead gave un-
sparingy of her time, strength and
thought Her spirituality modeSty, |
ability and lovely personal attributes,
combined with "a gift for friendship"
made nature of most unusual force
and beauty Her going is distinct

Benefit Moving Picture

"a Certain Rich Man" will be pre-
sented this evening at the Town hall
for the benefit of the Pi Beta Phi Set
tlement School at Gatlinburg, Tenn.
The school was established in 1911 by
the fraternity to alleviate the distress
ing conditions of the sturdy race of
American mountaineers of the Appala-
chan mountains. The first session was
opened in an abandoned school house
with one teacher and thirteen pupils.
The first American flag in the commun-
ity was unfurled at the school at that
time. Today the school is a modern
and efficient plant with a staff of 10
workers, eight buildings, large library
manual training and domestic science
equipment. A trained nurse has Just
been secured and a resident doctor is
the aim for the future.
Many families have moved to the
"burg' solely for the school advantages
and new spirit of progress The people
are beginning to take an active interest
in affairs and are an example to outside
communities
The entire proceeds of this moving
picture will go to the school to help
supply the new needs.
