These are perhaps the best and most
useful of the Ground-cover bulbs, the
little bulbs that can be used by the

Clues to Character
BY J. o. ABERNETHY
Persons of Quality.

Modelling and texture are induces
TO high quality. Coarse hair, coarse
skin and features that are poorly
modelled are indications of poor
quality as well as denoting an in
ferior mentality.
II looking for a person of refine
ment, good taste and one who appre-
cites the love of the beautiful. pick
the person with fine smooth and deli
cate skin.
The person with a fine skin in
yariably has finer feelings than the
person with coarse grained skin. A
fine, clear skin, as well as bright, fine
glossy hair, attests to that love of
of its most striking phases.
Quality is more than skin deep.
The sensitiveness of the skin de-
mands that care shall be exercised
in promoting the comfort of the
body by cleanliness without and
purity within. For it is only by
having a state of soundness and
purity of the digestive system that
a fine, clear, healthy skin can be
obtained.
Those persons whose skins are
thick, greasy and rough, and whose
hair is very coarse and. dull are
never as refined and cleanlv as those
who are the reverse. The brain
corresponds to the body. The per-
son with high qualities-skin and
features--will possess "a high quality
brain.

Surprise Peaches.

This makes a very pretty dessert.
Select ripe but firm peaches and al
low one peach to each serving. Make
a thin strip in the proportion of one
cupful of sugar to one and one-half
cupfuls of water boiled 10 minutes.
Place the peeled fruit in 1t and let
simmer until tender, but not broken.
Then remove the peaches and drain
well. Meanwhile TO a pint of strip
dissolve a heaping tablespoonful Of
gelatin in a very little cold water,
stir into the hot sirup and add a
tablespoonful each Of lemon and
orange Juice Strain and cool almost
to the point of eongealing. Then dip
the peaches into the jelly several
times. each time letting them stand
a few minutes before the next dip
ping. When each peach is well coated
with jelly, roll in crushed macaroon
crumbs or coconut. Whip a cupful
of double cream stiff and fold 1t into
the remainder of the jelly which may
be placed over hot water for a few
minutes If 1t has become too stiff.
Arrange on serving dishes. place a
peach or each, set in a cold place. and
just before serving top each peach
with a maraschino cherry or a ripe
Raspberry or strawberry.
