but nobody does anything about it.
There is. however. one thing YOU
can do about it. and that is to per
suade Spring flowers to bloom early
for YOU do not mean merely that
YOU should rake the leaves off your
c-,pcuses and snowdrops. though that
is necessary to give them an early
blooming. But by going out with your
shears and cutting a few SprlgS OF
early Towering shrubs YOU can easily
induce them to bloom for YOU in the
house.
The hest Of all. for this purpose. Ia
the forsythia. in your garden. Cut a
few branches. put them in milk bot
tie full Of water and place them i'll the
basement. In few days the flower
buds will respond to kind treatment
and open for you. Bring them up to
your front table then and astonish
your friends.
Just the same thing can be done
with pussvwillows. That is how the
florist is able To sell you pussy willows
in Winter for handsome price There
is no reason why you shouldn't cut
them for yourself and watch the furry
catskins unfold. After they drop. the
pale green leaves will shoot from the
stem and give YOU more refreshing de
light.
Alders will do quite as well: IL any
thing they are prettier than pussy

when she finally dropped asleep her
last waking thought was clear and
determined
She would not see him again. When
he called her up she would be pleas

would he entirely friendly. hut very
firm. The possibility of friendship
between them was over.
And yet when she woke up tho next

She found herself waverinS. max

that she was eXaggerating the Incl.

molehill. And, after all. what did
she gain by refusing to see him? A
certain amount of sef-satisfa ctjon
yes. but in gaining that she virtually
admitted her inability to meet the
situation.
He would believe that she was run

afraid to see him again.
Wouldn't it be better to see him If
for no other reason than to establish
clean.cut situation between them ?
She valued his friendship, Of course,
but she wanted nothing more. He
must understand that quite clearly.
