Mothers Girl.

| There's nothing nicer in the world

each other-who exchange condolences

a great interest in each other

greatest pal, without developing into

Amaranth.

There are few human families that
number among them both princes and
paupers, but this can be said OF the
iamaranths. Have you read verses by
dreamy poets about "Amaranth and
Asphodel'? You probably hope to see
something ethereally beautiful when
you look at an amara nth. But IL
somebody should take you out at this
season Of the year and show you an
amaranth as it grows wild around the
District Of Columbia. you would say,
"Oh. that thing" and turn away in
disgust.
For amaranths. as we know them
around the vacant lots of Washing
ton, are but an assemblage Of homeiy
| weeds. They have crossed. unlimited.

! freight boats. They came first, these
gypsies Of the plant kingdom. in the

old-time ships. Arrived in this coun.
! try. the crew generally dumped the

But not all amaranths are weeds.
| There is no more glorious aristocrat
| Of amaranth called princes feather
q nd we'll named it is. Both leaves and
flowers are a glorious purple or yellow.
and the whole plant has a patrician
lacfness that is as different from the
| down-at.the heel appearance of the am.
| aranth of the back door as you can
imagine. Yet these two are not even
different species. but merely varieties
of the same species.
The cousin of the common amar-
anth. the cock 's-conb, is even more in
credible than the princes feather. So
many and so dazzling are its colors
and so velvety and unreal the flower
texture that people seeing them used
as decorations in department stores
and hotels, where they are chiefly used
because they are large and formal.

When Caps Get Mixed.

One Mother says:
My small son is insistent upon hav.
ing his new caps of the prevailing
style and material, even though he
knows these caps are constantly be-
coming mixed at school and on the
play grounds. After he had come
home three or four times with
an older cap than he started out
with. / came to the conclusion that
this haphazard habit of exchange was
neither sanitary nor economical. So
l began the custom OF sewing a
bright individual lining in each new
cap. stitching his name upon it with
black. There has been no more
trouble about the caps.
