A LAND OF FLOWERS.

Written 80 years ago by LADY
after a visit to New Iberia.
If you would visit New Iberia,
Go when the grand Wisteria
Is in bloom. When beauteous Spring
As if impatient to begin her sway,
lifts to breeze this purple feather
AS ensign Of her loveliest weather.
Such wild luxuriance Of blossom
Is worth cen royal ransom
To see. lis now the rose fair queer
] Of fowers)
Mounts her throne amid the bowers
When every lovely subject bending,
And each a varied fragrance lending
| The earth becomes a dream Of beauty,
And every sense must do its duty
To comprehend in all its fulness
Nature, in her fair completeness.
Sweet Rose, what pen can paint thy
picture?
Or tell the sense of joyful rapture
Which fills the breasts of lovers thine,
Who ever worship at the shrine
Of the fair beauty? Well may you
blush and glow,
For all the world on you bestow
The need Of praise. But here you
share
With many Of your sisters fair;
Nor deem it robbery if they
Claim such homage as they may
In justice do. Sweet Olive well
deserves place
Quite near thy throne-not that her
face
Compares in beauty to thine own
But for the sweetness which is shown
To every passer, that one is prone to
linger
In her presence; nor yet with ruth
less finger
Sever from the parent stem this
fragrant little flower.
Sweet Violet. whose modest face
With some has well-nigh run the race
For favor, is wildly fair without
the care
Which other petted sisters dare
To claim as their just due.
The English Woodbine never grew,
Fen in its native soil, in such
profusion
AS here we see it-and, oh! the wild
confusion
Of sweet odors when Grandiflora,
Shaking from her skirts the dew,
greets Aurora
With the bursting of a hundred
chalices most rare,
Scattering wide fragrance which is
beyond compare,
And, see! Another fair sister is
standing,
Modestly waiting the kiss of the
morning.
All over her garments of glistening
green
Are diamond drops, which the first
WdTIH Dedii
Of the sun takes up as his own. but
leaves on her brow
A circlet of pearls, which is there
cen now.
tbs the bride of the garden-the
Orange Tree fair,
Whose jewels are blossoms of prom
Use most rare.
She is greeted with joy, and guarded
with love-
There is nothing more lovely this
green earth above.
High aloft over all the giant Oak
Trees
Are waving their tresses to WOO the
south breeze.
And anon on the air wild music is
stealing;
The hooking bird wakes, and, to his
mate calling,
.eads a chorus of warblers in mathis
of praise,
'WeilllS up W IiSH HedNCIi III JUN
liant lays.
md these are the words l think
they are saying
Thy mercies, o! Lord, are new
every morning"
'es, chant! jubilate! We creatures,
and say
We thank Thee, o! Lord, for this
new day."
n land where beauty and plenty
Astounding
wakes the glad echo,
hank God we are living.
4 memory's chamber this picture in
words
ever recalled by the singing of
the birds,
nd an influence soft as the incense
of prayer

 FOR SEWERS

A half million dollars will be asked by the Sewer committee of the Com mon Council for the construction of sewers throughout the city next year. City Engineer James MoEIroy has prepared the eommittee'S budget which is to be filed with City AudVCOr Bernard Heating,
 The sewer program isc urtailed be- cause of Mayer Fred Atwaters pro- gram of economy. Though preImt- nary plans were made under the Will son administration for the early erec- ton of new sewage disposal plants on the east side Of the city, similar ito the BoStw1ck avenue disposal plant, nothing will be done toward the erection of the plants next year, City Engineer McElroy stated today.
 Plans now under way by the en- gfneerfng department will reveal ad- Visement two plants for the east side instead of one. The plants will be considerably smaller than the BoSt- wick avenue station which takes care of the sewage west of the Pe- Quonnock. All sewers to be con- structed on the east side of the city will take a definite course uoward d two respective ends under present plans.
 The east side has been divided into two parts, one between the Pequon- nook and Yellow Mill pond and the second east Of Yellow Mil. The first section vii take care of the section between the two rivers and the uItI- mate destination of sewage will be erected to take care of that district similar plan will be followed for the extreme eastern section of the city.

 Following are excerpts from MT. StanlaWs' article:
 Public Deceived
 '"The whole world is secured for beauty, and the chosen few become movie stars. In them we think we see perfection of face and form. Because they have been selected from so many thousands they are regarde ed as the highest types of physical wom- anhood.
 '"The stars possess the imperfec- tiOns common to all beauties. None of them are perfect. Some, in fact are not beautiful at all. There is no liv- ing perfect beauty-on the screen or off,

"BULBOUS NOSE,' } "BIC HEADS,"
 ALLEGED
Leading Luminaries of Sil- yer Screen Told What Is
 Wrong With Them

Stanlaws says in his article the per- feet beauty does not exist. Conse- quently, girls have no fear or need to worry if they have 'horse nostrils.' such as MT Stanlaws says Betty Bly, the has. or a moon face,' such as the famous artist claims Ruth Roland possesses.
 If people would only understand" said Stanlaws, when seen at his stu dio, that there is no such thing as perfect beauty, but that there is g. very real thing called 'attractiveness,' then they would understand why flaws have their particular status"
 And here lies the secret of feminine beauty from an artistic standpoint.
 Eyebrow Important.
 An eyebrow" Stanlaws continued, yect features. A glint of an eye is always more important than beauti- full head, simply because it means more"
 While he talked, Stanlaws idly drew on a. piece of paper the head of a very charming miss and casually toss- ed it over to his interviewer.
 '~Take this head" he said, ''it has charm, grace intelligence and fea- lures that blend. But the whole sec ret of this lady's beauty lies in her an need not have perfect features to be considered attractive.''
 In commenting upon his article in Screenland, MT. Stanlaws said he had no intention or Snatterlng 1dOlS ana that his article was based on an un- selfish desire to show that ability, charm, grace and attractiveness are as essential to success in the movies as mere "good looks.
 "The day of the perfect woman has not arrived" the artist said. "She may be living. I don't know. I'd like to find her. First I'd paint her and then star her in pictures. She would be one woman whose face would literally be her fortune"

POli Review


 The average theatre goers have seen hundreds of imltators of the famous Frisco but seldom have they had the pleasure of seeing the boy him. them, however, at Poli's theatre dur ing the last half of this week. YeS Frisco is there as poppy as ever with his shivering, shaking jumping, twist ing acrobatic Frisco hop, the dance
 that turned the dancing head of this country.
 Although dancers may execute the same steps used by this man, they never can really initiate Frisco, for more than his dancing it is his mag netic personality which makes him such a favorite on the American stage. His wit, his apparent dumbness, and his funny actions outside of those in the dance have probably did more to make him the talk of the country, than did the dance which he composed and featured. Frisco, is assisted by two clever dancers, Miss Loretta Mo Dermott and Eddie Cox
 There are several treats for the good vaud eville devotee on this weeks program Of course, the first is sporting dog revue. The finest types of all breeds of sporting dogs are shown among which is a wonderful fox terrior whom MT. Shaw intends carnival in the Northwest next year. The dogs in the revue give an exhibi- ton of speed and high jumping. Prominent in the collection are the Kayhout terrior, and Russian wolf hound.
 The third big treat is the gorgeous prizma picture, The Glorious Ad- venture" featuring the new star, Lady Diana Manners. The picture is beau tiful in plot, artistic coIoring, back ground and characters. Lady Diana is splendid in her role of Lady Beatrice Fair and is ably assisted by large cast of talented and com petent actons- The scenes represent ing the great London fire are mar vicious.
 The bill is completed by three more good acts of vaudeville an educational comedy and Pathe News.
