Lupine.

The poorest, Sandiest soils. that any
farmer would despise; sometimes pro-
duce the loveliest flowers. From just
such dry and sterile wastes springs
the lovely lupine, that in these weeks
is as brilliant a wildtlower as any the
District of Columbia can shoW.
Among its curious gray-green leaves,
divided like the fingers of the hand,
rise the straight slender flower stalks
with their brilliant spikes of butterfly
blossoms. Each flower is little won
der of floral structure, with a splendid
erect petal at the top, like a standard.
and two winglike petals on each side,
resembling the veined wings of but
terfiy, while at the bottom are two
petals folded together. like a keel.
Lupine is often called a blue flower.
but you will look long ere you may
find single blossom that is really blue.
Every delicate and lovely shade, from
deep violet to palest lilac, or even
white. but never without the tinge of
red which keeps the lupine's flowers
from being a true blue. Lupines there
are that are really blue, among the
pampered garden species, and in the
West there are several blue ones. In
fact, the deadly loco weed, that drives
horses mad, is a lupine, and another
lupine called blue bonnets" is the
State flower. of Texas. But in the
Eastern States we have but the one
species.
And if we are not careful the Dis
trict of Columbia will soon have not
even that one. Commercial pickers
have already found out the few haunts
of the lupine near Washington and
are selling 1t. faded and wan. upon the
streets. The Wild Flower Preserva-
ton Society is urging people not to
pick or buy our native lupine. but
there is no law upon the side of this
organization; only civic pride and per-
sonal honor. If you contribute to the
destruction of this rare flower, you

times didn't get the maid.
But now such objection seems tC
he less prevalent. And no wonder
for maids uniforms of all sorts have
become so smart and becoming that
it is no hardship to have to wear
them.
Makers of uniforms no longer are
content with following the same mode
year after year, making their products
shapeless and dowdy. Now the line
and cut are changed every season and
even the simplest little maids frocks
are made with close attention to the
line and silhouette. Then, too, short
skirts add greatly to the smartuess
of the maids uniform, and so does
the fact that we have at last abolish

regarded as essential.

in lavender for Summer-which is
then worn with white shoes and stock

The black uniform is of alpaca and
should be worn with all black shoes
and stockings. Apparently the fash

shoes is not quite the thing for the
maid in uniform.
The fastidious housewife buys sets
