SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Dutiful Dorothy.

It's a dark day, indeed. when you
find that you have a Dutiful Dorothy
among your friends.
She may be a nice, quiet, unas-
suming young person, whom you'd
never suspected of any bad habits
and il may just suddenly dawn on
you with a dreadful shock that she's
a d. D.
Once, however. you realize that
dreadful truth you will see her weak
ness in every little thing she does.
Dorothy goes through life on the
firm principle that all good people do
their duty. No matter how unpleas-
ant the task, no matter how disagree
able it's performance may be for her
self and for other people, she plods
sturdily on, determined that the day
of Judgment shall not find her duties
Ondone.
If you are a guest in Dorothy's
house, you are made aware of how
neglectful you have been hitherto in
the matter of your duty.
Your hostess points out TO you
gently, but firmly, that although 1t
would be perfectly easy for one OF the
servants to mend that hole in your
skirt for you-still it would be better
for your character If you stayed in
the house that afternoon and did it
yourself.
She tells you that it really doesn't
matter very much whether you get
down to breakfast on time or not
but it's more or less a duty to rise
early, and so you have to appear at
s am to your intense disgust.
Dorothy likes to dance herseif-but
her strong sense of what must be
done will not allow her to devote
much of her time to that delightful
sport There are so many things she
ought to do hat she really hasn't
time for all the nonsense that is part
of girlhood
Then. too, she is always feeling it
her duty to tell you unpleasant things
about yourself. She assures you
earnestly that she's only doing it for
your own good. hat she'd much
rather pay you compliments, but her
conscience won't le- her-she must
tell you frankly what she thinks OF
your action in such and such mat
ter.
You can unders. and what an un-
comfortable person she is-and she
doesn't understand, poor dear, why
people her own age aren't fond OF
her. No one seems to appreciate her
but the older people, and she doesn't
have a very good time out of that
OF course. we all have our sense of
duty. one way or another, but we
shouldn't obey il so rigidly that we
make other people uncomfortable and
unhappy in the process
Always be sure that your duty is a
personal matter which Will not inter-
fere with other peoples happiness and
well-heing.
Dutit,l Doro- his never get the
biggest rush of the season.
Mrnn viii Ue glad To answer your love
questions. Just incloSe stamped ad-
dressed envelonr- for acr-onal reply.

Our Children-By Angelo Patri

at washing his face and seems To
think himself abused at the sugges-
ton that he remove the black rim
from his finger nails. His stockings
are discolored with the mud of the
playfield and his buttons are torn out
by their roots. The toes OF his shoes
are bent up and scuffed to distress.
He looks and he behaves like A
young brigand.
He slams the doors behind him
when ne closes them at all. He for
gets to say please and thank you
Excuse me is like pulling out one of
his teeth, which by the way, are un-
even in growth and appear too big for
his mouth. He never walks when he
can run: never speaks softly when he
can shout; never stays in when he can
go out; never misses a chance for fun.
! He is years old. Carefree and grow
| ing. He will never be so happy
| again.
And what shall you do with him
Feed him well and never make fun
of his appetite. Wash his bruises
and don't make a fuss over them
Buy stout, cheap clothes that fit him
and remember they are to be cheap
| as he will outgrow them swiftly. Bu%
more and buy them cheap. Keep him
| in balls and bats; throw in a few
good stories for his quiet hour before
bed; have a confidential chdt with MN
each night before he retires so that
you know in what direction he Is
heading and guide right.
Try to refrain from nagging him
while you direct him in thoughtful.
mannerly ways SO foreign to his stage
of growth, yet essential to his happi-
ness in the next stage. Remember
he is in a stage of unsettled growth.
and the power Of the next stage, adol-
escence, depends upon the growth OF
this healthy young animal.
And hear his prayers every evening.
He Is very little inside yet.
Mr. Patr will give personal attention TO
inquiries from parents and teachers on the
care and development of children. Write

Wild Flowers Rescued From Hsides Being for Home

of Most Unusual and Beautiful

ginger, whose round, yellow blossoms
lie perfectly fiat on the ground and
look like miniature sleeping pigs.
Among the most snowy of the wild
flowers which she has cultivated is
the jewel weed. which bears many
blossoms similar TO the yellow slipper,
but with brown spots. 1t grows about
two feet high. She has a collection
of white, yellow and purple violets,
all found in local woods, but some of
which now are very rare. She has
been able to make the delicate pansy
violet prosper by studying its require
ments of soil and moisture. She has
collected and transplanted such curl
osities as the gold thread and ever
green, with long, very thin roots
which look very much like strands of
fine gold wire.
Miss Dinwiddie specializes in ferns
and orchids. OF the former she has
about 40 varieties. some of them rare.
The fern list includes such varieties
as the rattlesnake fern, the sensi-
tive, ostrich, cinnamon, interrupted
Christmas, maidenhair, walking, Dur-
pie cliff brake and fringed ferns.
Holly Fern One Species.
One of her ferns. the holly, has
leaves which make it appear almost
exactly like a small holly bush. 1t
is. however. a true fern. Another is
the resurrection fern. This peculiar
species will dry up during long dry
spells and apparently becomes com.
pletely dead. The leaves and stalk are
brittle. The roots show no signs of
life. But once the plant is soaked
with water 1t comes to life again
quite rapidly, perhaps the most re-

Chifonade Salad.

One green pepper, one grapefruit,
one head romaine, three tomatoes.
Cook the pepper in boiling water, cool
and cut in shreds. Have ready the
shredded romaine and the pulp from
the grapefruit. Cut the tomatoes In
quarters. The salad should be ar
ranged on a bed of lettuce and served
with French dressing. Considerable
originality may be displayed in the
manner of arranging this salad. One
way is to form a sort of mound with
triangular sections, one of grapefruit,
one of shredded pepper, one of shred
ded romaine and another of quarter
ed tomatoes.

NO. XIX,

When the steam shovels of build
ing crew attack any strip of virgin
hillside about Washington one of the
early visitors IS likely to be Miss
Emily Dinwiddie, welfare worker at
st. EliZabeth's Hospital, with the mis-
sion of rescuing any rare patches of
wild flowers or ferns in the path of
the eXcavators. Miss Dinwiddie is a
wild flower enthusiast, but she will not
take anything which has a chance
Of surviving in it's native haunts.
The result of Miss Dinwiddie's work
has been one of the most remarkable
gardens in Washington around the
walls of 1927 Q street. where she
makes her home. The entire space
is probably less than 200 square feet,
but 1t contains thousands of speci-
mems and scores of species. Some of
them practically are extinct locally,
except as she has preserved them.
Many botanists visit the property to
study specimens.

Among the flowers which she is
trying to make prosper under cult
vation are the crowperma, or fly

Besides preserving native wild flow
ers, Miss Dinwiddie is interested in
introducing into the United States
wild flowers from Scandinavia, Wales
and England. She already has planted
a number of these around her Sum-
mer home in the Virginia mountains
and expects them to take root ano
spread.
