Barbara nodded.
Miss Storey sat up in the swing.
'If 1 had it to do over again, I'd
marry at 20 and take what came.
Its the years after 40 that are
the nightmares, my dear. l don t
care If you say that in the story.
Old age alone is the most horrible
fate a woman can meet
Barbara was anxious to get
away. The woman was telling her
things that she did not wish to hear.
She rose to go. Thank you for Civ
ing me so much time. Miss Storey,
I'll try to deal fairly with the
story"
She was out of the house and
walking down the quiet street. AS
Barbara walked. large drops of rain
began to patter on the sidewalk.
She fastened her steps. The rain
became more violent and the wind
swept in little eddies up the street.
Barbara began to run. 1t was only
block to the street car line.
She reached the corner and crept
close to store front to avoid the
rain. No cars came. She waited in
the pelting rain for a long time.
Then she left the shelter of the
building front and began to walk.
1t was quite dark when she
reached home. Her shoes were sod
den and her clothes dripped water.
AS she unlocked her door. the rain
suddenly ceased and a flood of sun
set light filled the sky.
But a moment later the torrents
began again.
Inside the apartment, Barbara
stood still and looked around her.
No article had been moved since she
left that morning.

The room into which Barbara was
led contained two beds. One was
empty. In the other lay girl.
When Barbara sat down beside
her. the girl turned listlessly from
her contemplation Of the wall and
answered in monosyllsbles.
The story of desertion and desti-
tuition came out, bit by bit. The
mother seemed little interested ia
the conversation.
But at the end of it. she sat bolt
upright. "What're you asking me
all this for? You're not going to
help them take my baby away?"
Barbara stammered. IT thought
you wanted home for it," she said.
Perhaps through my paper we can
find a good place for 1t and you

The girl almost shrieked, at her.

I'll keep her against you and the
hospital and all the rest. She's all

But how can you support her?''
asked Barbara timidly. '

her face in the bed clothes, sobbing
violently.
The door opened and the nurse

arms. "Why, Mrs. Mutton, what 8
the matter?"
The girl in the bed paid no atten-
ton.
The nurse beckoned to Barbara
and tiptoed out Of the room, taking
the baby with her. Barbara followed.
In the corridor. she explained to
the nurse what had happened. The
woman accepted the story, coolly.

JUDGE NEWBURY
In HOSPITAL

Judge John e. Newbury entered
the county hospital Saturday after
noon following the completion of his
weeks work in the justice court at
the city hall
The local justice of the peace is
to have thorough physical examina-
tion and Monday will undergo minor
operations at the hands of DR.. e. W..
Adamson. Surgeons at the Deacon
ess hospital in Phoenix informed
Judge Newbury when he was there
for treatment a few months ago that
it would be necessary for him to subs
nit to minor operations when his
health had improved sufficiently to
permit it. At that time, he was not
physically able to withstand the
strain of an operation, however, but
since his health has been vastly bet
ter during the past few weeks he
is to have the work performed now.
He does not believe that he will be
confined to the county hospital for
more than four or five days and
plans to return to his duties here by
Friday. During Judge Newbury's alb
sence, Mrs. Elmer D. Harris, justice
of the peace from Elfrida, and Judge

The LANGUAGE
OF FLOWERS

Say it With Flower" speak
understood by the babe in arms as
well as the aged traveller nearing the
end of his journey. The baby fingers
clutch them for their bright colors,
and the trembling hands of old age
hold them tenderly for their memoir
ies-memories that they have been
cherishing since their earliest child
hood, for no life, however barren, but
has some happy remembrances assoc.
lated with flowers-no matter how or
when, they are forever entangled
with the memoryeo of happy days.
Any occasion of rejoicing at once
suggests flowers, and if they are
lacking some ofSthe joy of the event
is missed. Theft beauty and frag-
rance tell ctr Messages of love in
words that we do not have in our
vocabularies.
Why, then, when flowers play such
a large part in our lives, should they
be lacking whena we take the last
long journey? The request, please
do notasend flowers is unfair to the
living, and to the dead---to the living
in that they are prevented from ex-
pressing their sympathy in the most
beautiful way, and to the dead in
that their loved ones are denied the
solace of earth's most lovely gift to
man:
One often hears this statement: 'I
want my flowers while 1 am alive
and can appreciate them" so we
do; we need them all through the
journey of life, to soothe our sor-
rows and increase our joys, and be-
cause of that very fact we need them
to make death more like life, to
make the last sad rites a little less
sad.
Let us send flowers to the living,
to the sick, to the unhappy and the
happy, but most of all, let us sur
round ourselves with them; they will
inspire us to nobler thoughts and
greater deeds. We simply cannot
help buying them at times of great
happiness. We turn as naturally to
them as flowers turn to the sun.
Say it with flowers" on every occa-
sion. No other gift will say it so
well.
