GIGANTIC LILY BLOOMS
COVER AN ENTIRE LAKE
Blossoms Six and Half Feet Across
Bloom at Roman Gates.

The largest Egyptian water lily,
"Ne1umbium, is now grown in the
small lake in the Villa Doria Pamphil,
just outside the San Pancrazio gate.
1t covers the whole surface Of the
water, leaving only small space for
rowboat to get about
The leaves of this wonderfully
graceful water lily are six feet and a
half in circumference, while the flow
ers are equally large, says the New
York Tribune. In some places the
leaves tower above the ordinary sized
woman, while the whole surface is
covered with pink and white flowers.
The. villa belongs to Prince DORA
Pamphili, descendant of Prince Cam
lille Pamphili, who, in the seventeenth
century, had the beautiful garden
made.

CHAPTER III.

Among the many things which
Neal never thought of question
ing was the fact that he did not
go to public school as all his play
mates did. If he asked, he would
have found that his father and
mother had an answer ready for
him, the completeness and thor
oughness Of which might have in
dicated that they had perhaps
silenced some questionfngs OF their
own with it. He would have heard
that of course they approved OF
public schools, and that il they
had continued to live in Massa-
chusetts, even if the yhad gone
to live in a nice part Of New York
City, they would certainly have
sent their son to public school.
But here at Union Hill, with the
public schools SO thickly populat-
ed by foreign children, the condi-
lions were really different. What
could a little American boy learn
in a class room with forty foreign
children, whose constant study
The Washington times., 1923-07-24

must needs be English?
There was no flaw in the reason
ing they were prepared to pre-
sent to their son when he should
ask the natural question about
his schooling. But Neale never
asked it. BY the time he was old
enough to think of 1t, habit had
made him incapable of conceiving
it. He no more wondered why he
went every morning to the Tay-
lors' house on Bower street, in
stead of to Public School Number
Two, than why he had two eyes
instead of one That was the way
things were. Neale was slow to
question the way things were.
DR.. Taylor was another trans
planted New Highlander like Meals
father, with another college-grad-
uate wife (rarer in those days than
now, like Neale's mother. His
ideas on children and the public
schools would have been exactly
like those Of the Crittendens, even
If they had not been fortified
by the lameness Of his only
son. Jimmy's clutches made
public school definitely out OF
the question, and since Jimmy
must have instruction at home,
why, his two sisters, Elsie and
Myrtle, might as well profit by it.
DR.. Taylor was glad enough to
have the expense of paying Miss
vanderwater shared by Mr.. Crit
tenden, and to let Neale share in
the benefits Of Miss Wander
waters instruction.
Hence it happened that every
morning Eeale rang at the Tay-
lors front door, and when the
maid let him in, went upstairs to
the big front room on the top
floor and there did whatever Miss
Vandewrater told him to do.
He was under her command from
nine in the morning till noon,
when he went home and had
lunch with Mother, who always
asked how school had gone, to
which question Neale always
made the same truthful answer
that he guessed it was all right.
At one he returned for two more
hours with Miss Vanderwater.-

TATARRHAL conditions are
so common that it is i'm
~ portant to consider the
causes.
The part played by the respira-
tory infections is of course obvi-
Gus. Colds in the head, bronchi-
tbs, pneumonia, ETC., are catarrhal
ir their nature and may lay the
foundation for chronic catarrh.
These respiratory infections have
been called house diseases, that
is. they are diseases associated
with civilization: And right here
We have the key to our wide
spread and chronic catarrhal con-
ditions.
A common underlying cause of
catarrh is overheating, which, OF
course, is one Of the artificial
ties Of civilization. It predis-
poses us to catarrh Air which is
too warm and not sufficiently in
motion lowers our vitality very
markedly. Even impure air which

That's Jim Crow, who is build

"Well, Bunny, will you kindly
tell Jim Grow that I congratu-
late him on being married and
hope he will be very happy, but
that 1 ask him for PHYS sake,

IN have a talk with him on
the next trip, if you and Bobby
will go in the house." Bunny vol
unteered.
So Bobby and I went into the
house and 1 waited for Bunny to
come in and tell us the news,
which he did soon.
Jim Crow came back and I
had a very plain talk with him.
He said that Mrs. Grow was very
anxious to lay her eggs and that
he was in a hurry to finish his
house. You know that crows pick
up hairs of horses and cattle, with
which they line their rough nests,
from bark Of trees where the
cattle rub their backs when they
itch.
Jim Crow said that evidently
the cattle and horses on your
farm didn't have itching backs
for he couldn't find a hair. He
declared he spoke to that silly
sheep about it, and the sheep
said that as the weather was
rather warm he wouldn't mind
1t Il bit if Mr.. Crow bobbed his
hair little. So that's how 1t
happened"
We'll, in that case give Mr..
James Grow that roll of cotton
In the barn, Bunny, and tell him
to leave my sheep alone"

What would an old soldier

Bunny doesn't mean a veteran,
Bobby, he means a veterinary-a

German was much in the ar in
that locality.
OF course he did not spend all
those years Of his life, side by
side with three other children
without becoming intimately ac-
quainted with them. But one Of
the instructive watertight COM
partments in Neale's Anglo-Saxon
mind was the one in which he
kept his school separate from his
life He studied with the Taylor
children, but he never dreamed OF
staying after hours to play with
them. And yet he knew them
infinitely better than any Of the
innumerable chance street ac-
quaintances with whom he flew
kites or played one-old-cat. He
knew instinctively, knew without
thinking of it, knew to the mar.
row of his brutally normal bones
that Jimmy Taylor was lame not
only in his legs but in his
character. Jimmy's deIicacy, the
great care taken Of him, the fact
that he always played in the
house or backyard with his sis
tiers, made a sissy of him. That
was the plain fact, and NeaIe
was not one to refuse to admit
plain fact. He was always kind
to Jimmy, at least not unkind,
but he was always secretly re-
1ieved when the front door shut
behind him, hiding from him
Jimmy's too-white hands, thin
neck and querulous invalid's
voice.
OF the two girls, Elsie was
only little kid, so much
younger than Jimmy and Neale
that they were barely aware Of
her existence. Myrtle, on the
contrary, was very much there,
a little girl whose comments on
things never failed to arouse in
Neale the profoundest astonish-
rnent. How could anybody think
Of such dotty things to say? You
never had the least idea how any
thing was going to strike her,
except that it was likely to strike
her so hard that she made an
awful fuss about it.

he slipped across the street and
tried to follow a truck in, but
big man with a red face yelled at
him so loudly to ''get out Of

furiously angry, out not knowing
how to get around the big watch
man. All he could do was to sit
just inside the door, hating the
Waterman, and stare at the tan
talizing activity so far away, and
wish with all his heart that

better a little better.

about her, that she was beautiful

about his clothes more than was
convenient, and insisted on baths.

but when he was sick, Mother
read him Stories, and let him

Mother gave him pennies, too, and
when Father was away on a bust

eat alone together, and she would
talk to him and ask him questions
about school and play, and his
boy friends. Neale didn't mind
telling her things ., he
couldn't seem to manage to think
Of a great deal to tell her. 1t
sounded foolish to talk about
games to grown-ups.
And games were really all that
Neale cared about, almost all that
he ever thought about. AS to
telling Mother other things, the
few other things &c did occasion
ally think about, why, there didn't
seem to be anywhere to start.
He'd have to begin way back at
the beginning" and now that
Neale was ten years old, the be-
ginning was too far back for him
to lay hold Of
AS a matter of fact, she did not
often ask about any of it, even in
her distant, careful way of asking.
She just took good care of him,
and had what he liked for supper,
The Washington times., 1923-07-24

in clean shirts and dark suits.
Then they had a specially good
supper, the sort of expensive
things that were usually reserved
for Sunday dinner, planked shad
and roast chicken and ice-cream,
and coffee in the little gold-lined
cups that Mother always washed
herself. Neal didn't mind COM
pany since nobody paid much ate
tention to him, and he liked the
extra Sunday edibles on a week
day, but one of his few impress
sions about his father and mother
was that, although they always
talked and laughed a great deal
when there was company, and
seemed to have lively time, they
really liked it better when there
were only the two Of them talking
over Neal's head at the table, and
settling down afterwards to read
and talk to one another around
the droplight.
Another Of tohse impressions was
the tone of his fathers voice
when looking up from his book,
he said, "Oh, Nary Neal al
ways knew just the look there
would be in Mothers eyes as she
laid down her own book and asked,
Eyes, what is 1t, dear?'
The Washington times., 1923-07-24

and put the kind Of books he liked
tons sewed on, and every night,
till he was a big, big boy came
into his room to kiss him good
night in his bed. She didn't say
anything much then; just, Have
you enough cove~s?" maybe; or,
II believe I'd better open tha@
window WIDER" and then, with
the kiss, Goodnight, Neale."
Goodnight, Mother"
Then he turned over and nearly
always went instantly to sleep.
When Father was at home,

went on inside the sheds. There
were steep gang-ways, sloping
from the plank floor of the pier TO
the ships, and up and down these,
big men in blue jumpers wheeled
hand carts, always moving at
dog trot. Through other open
ings, bundles of boxes tied to-
gether with rope slid down slop-
ing boards, and other men with
sharp hooks were always loading
them on trucks or unloading them
from trucks; or huge bales de-
seconded from the air, dangling at
the end of a climbing chain. This
hustle and noise, the strange tarry
smells and the clatter of steam
winches exhilarated Neale, excited
him, made something CULVER and
glow within him. He longed to
go in and be part of it.
But Father never went inside,
and it never occurred to Neale to
explain how he felt, and to ask
Father please to take him in. ST.

side his father, who often glanced
down, baffled, at the healthy, per-
sonable little boy beside him, look
ing so exactly like any other we'll

The Strange Glow.
And yet, often before he fell
asleep at night, Neale heard again
the clanking clatter of the great
unloading cranes, smelled again
the intoxicating tarry ocean smells
and felt again something CULVER
and glow within him.
There was neither CULVER nor
glow about the place where
Father finally stopped Of his own
accord. In a wide part of the
street, huge piles Of lumber were
stacked. Father would walk slow
ly along these, looking at them
very hard, and then he would go
into a tiny, sstuffy little wooden
clap-boarded house-just one room,
with men in shirt sleeves writing
at desks-and there he would talk
incomprehensible grown-up talk
with one of the men, and the man
would write at his desk, and
Father standing up, would write
in a notebook with a fountain pen
and that was all the fun
there was to the lumber business!
