WINTER
BY ID. c. PEATTIE.
Orchids.

Once Winter holds complete sway
and the botanist and lover of the out
doors has done his modest best to find
all the fresh sources of interest afield
that Winter affords, the latter is
sometimes reduced to a botanical eX-
cursion through the florists windows
of the city street. And there he may
look in upon tropic wonders that he
may not ever have the happiness to
behold in the wild. And what is SO
regal as the modern, modish orchid?
Many lovers of the simple and natu-
raj have it Gin" for orchids, because
florists orchids are fancy, almost I'M
natural hybrids, between genera that
would probably never cross in the
wild. Their astonishing size and
bizarre colors, too, are partly the
work of the artificer; such big orchids
are unknown in nature.
The sentimentality with which many
people regard orchids, and the faint
of money and the arbitrary dictates of
fashion still further remove dollhouse
bred orchids from the respect of men
of science, And yet, when all orchid
superstitions are forgotten, there is to
me a world of scientific interest in the
florists orchids.
Some of the most dazzling feats of
INTERPOLATION ever accomplished have
been performed in orchids, with what
exquisite results you may see for
Yourself There are thousands OF
kinds of orchids, and an orchid book
records thousands more crosses, but
TO rthe purposes of most of us, it is
enough to be able to call by their
names, cypripedium, the lady's slip,
per. of which the favorite commercial
kind is a soft golden brown, and the
cattlevas, which are the common
splendid lilac creatures, and odonto.
glossums, which look like flight OF
little yellow butterflies.

He had wanted to reach her through

prised and delighted me. 1 felt that

"Do you?" he interrupted. wen,

He strobe to the door and turned
the key in the lock.
Il won't take up much of your
time. You'll be through so that you
can keep your engagement
She stood there before him IKE
tragedy queen, and he had a momen-
tary impulse to go up and shake her'
but he restrained himself.
.sYou might as well sit down and be
comfortable" he suggested.
II won't sit down. And you nave
no right to keep me here like this.
You forget-this is my house. You re
merely a guest in it.
"A guest who happens to be your
guardian, at least for few more

Deliver me from another like 1t! But

does anybody any good at all.
But If you saw a girl fling herself
off the top of the Woodwork Building
with the glorious speech: II do this
for the betterment Of humanity"
you'd think she was a perfect sap.
wouldn't you?
In the same way If you saw girl
about to make an awful mistake, to
ruin her own life, under the impress
sion that by so doing she was helping
out somebody else, you wouldn't rush
up to pin medal on her, would you?
Therefore, why should / throw bou-
quets at my little friend Millicent,
who writes that she considers me the
worlds most hard-boiled citizen
woman of no sympathy and less I'M
Outstanding?
Millicent not long ago sent me, on
sweetly scented paper, fearful but
eXquisitely resigned little note in
which she told me that she was a
noble heroine and deserved whatever
praise 1 felt inclined to bestow.
She is going to marry man she
doesn't love-a fine, good man, who
lacks no noble quality, but somehow
doesn't cause in her the love she
should feel toward her future hus-
band.
She's going to marry this man be-
cause she fiirted with him outrageous
ly-and then, when it was too late,
found out that he had been serious
all along.
Rather than wound his pride, break
his heart, she intends to pay the full
penalty for her silly Irritation.
She's going to take up the martyrs
crown of thorns and adjust it around
her alabaster brow, and l, hard
hearted creature that I am, simply
laughed at this beautiful gesture.
What sordid creature / am!
But now, honestly, did you ever
hear of an idea so idiotic? Did you
ever know anything more futile than
Miles plan to right great wrong by
doing a greater wrong?
What happiness is she going to
bring this man she doesn't love? The
temporary happiness of marrying him
and living in comparative harmony
with him for little while.
But how can she go on living in
harmony with him when she can give
him no real companionship - when
she has no reserve of love to fall back
upon in the face of encouragement
and disappointment.
She doesn't want to break his heart
now, she tells me. Does she think it
will make him any happier to break
his heart later, with her discomfort as
his wife?
Does she think she can go on pre-
tending. through 80 years of married
life, that she's in love with a man
who, even now, bores her?
What makes her think that simply
by marrying this man she will make
him happy? Doesn't she realize that
she must give him love and tender
ness and infinite understanding
through all the long years of their
life together?
No, Mile, you sound noble, but
you're talking applesauce
Don't spare him now if it will make
him more miserable later Let him
have the truth-not a pretense which
would spoil his life as well as yours

My Neighbor Says:
BY BRIGGS.

Custard pies should be started
in a hot oven (375 degrees Fab
renheit) to set the crust, then
heat should be quickly reduced
to 800 degrees or even less to
bake the crust slowly.
Grease cake pans with lard or
unsalted beef fat as butter
scorches so easily. Line the
pans with waxed paper.
Dip fish in milk instead of
eggs before rolling in bread or
cracker crumbs. The fish will
taste better.
In Dreaming butter and sugar
for a cake add a small quantity
of hot milk and it will cream
more readily.
