Flowers, Spring
! LII right, then, the little flowers

A LII right, then, the little flowers
IA and why do they bloom in the
spring.
In the first place many Of them
don't. Some varieties hardly get
started until the late fall. But this
is a bubble.
I suppose such flowers as crash
through in spring are moved largely
by the force of habit. Each petal
in daisy is animated by some cell
lular memory and when the yellow
heads turn toward the sun a MUIR
muir of recognition runs up and
down the daisy chain.
The little flowers in the spring
look up at the bright disk and say,
"You seem familiar. Haven't I
seen your face somewhere before?"
Some of my friends are amateur
gardeners of no mean ability, but I
am constantly surprised at the time
and pains they devote to their occu-
patton. It is a mistake to coddle
plants too much.
Consider the lilies of the field.
While it is true, as Scripture says,
that they neither toll nor spin, it is
only fair to remember that their
position is that of retired business
men. They can afford to lean back
on the breeze and nod the day out
because their job is done.
And in the beginning it was no
sinecure. The process of growing up
from seed to lily necessitaties a great
amount Of toll. The seed itself must
contain among other things a notion
of what a lily is like.
Even with that much established
you have no more than an idea, or a
wish, strapped tight into straight
jacket. BY some process of shrug-
ging and twisting and throwing
shoulders out Of joint this element
which constitutes the will to be lily
comes through and gets its goat.

Up From the Dark

r HAVE a garden in Connecticut,
L and in the spring I let the little
flowers grow or not just as they
please. They can't hold me respon-
s:hle.
I didn't put them there and the
long journey up from the dark they
must make alone.
It is surprising how many of
them do turn out each year. Even
among the plants, habit is tough
contender. There is nothing much
for these flowers in my garden to
see once they emerge. That is, not
unless they happen to care for
rocks and weeds.
But because a dahlia grew close
to the edge of the quartz ledge last
summer I expect to find another
this year at the same spot or there
abouts.
It's like Wigglesworth at Harvard.
This particular line of dahlias will
continue in the garden until the
place has run down past all endur-
ance. OF course it isn't the same
dahlia each year.
There may even be consider
able variation in color, but some
where about the eyes or the mouth
family resemblance can be seen.
So if I go into that same PLACE

A. Daily Routine,

If you'll establish a daily routine
you'll noe find beauty culture difficult
or time wasting. To keep yourself beau
tifully dressed and well groomed is a
matter OF habit. and good habits take
less time than bad ones.
Can you follow this routine? When
you get up drink a couple of glasses of
water first thing. Have quick warm
bath or shower. Rinse face and neck
with cold water; use an astringent To-
ton If your skin Is flabby. If you are
going out and must be well dressed, rub
little very fine vanishing cream on
your skin, then powder over it twice.
A faint touch of rouge If you are pale,
a quick brushing of eyebrows and eye
lashes with brilliantine. This takes
powder off them, gives them gloss and
greater apparent thickness.
Except for such touching up as an
ordinary compact vanity case can give
you, you are made up for the day. If
you are going out in the evening, take
all this powder off your face with
cleansing cream, then wash with warm
water and little soap and make up
again.
