NANCY PACE
Flowers Need Vases With
individuality
RY ELnRENCE LA GANKE.
By FLORENCE La GANKE.

When Nancy had attended the fash
ionable finishing school she had lessons
in manners, travelling etiquette, dressing
in good taste, polite small talk and sun
dry other subjects. Many of the lessons
were forgotten, but one subject stayed
with her because of the appeal it had
made.
A florist had talked to the group on
flower decoration, showing the necessity
of giving flowers a fair show WHEN plac-
ing them in vases or in bouquets.
Nancy remembered one flower arr
rangement, three rather small and Spiky
iris with a few sharp, slender green
leaves put in a bottle which had a mar
row neck and large plump round
base. The iris presented picture which
was effective because each flower had a
chance to stand out by itself. 1t was
not cluttered in with welter of leaves
and ferns.
The lecturer used the same bottle for
an Arrangement of three rose buds with
the leaves left on even to base of stems.
These leaves were flattened or smoothed
out in the bowl of the base so that they
were visible and life-like.
Another point which the lecturer
made concerned itself with the correct
mating of flowers and container. Large
massive flowers like zinnias or aStera
need sturdy containers of fairly solid
colors.
Fragile flowers which grow in lacy
fashion on slender stems should be
placed in crystal or clear glass vases
of rather light and airy shape. When
placed in vase of this sort the stema
are always part Of the picture and
should be treated as such.
Bouquets should be loosely arranged
with foliage of the flowers themselves,
not ferns or asparagus greenery.

Careless Young Rat.
The cost OF carelessness is high;
You can avoid 1t II you try.
Old Mother Nature.

Egret the White Heron was becoming
which was, as you know, Farmer
Browns barn. Farmer Browns Boy mad
made q pen for him there. He had
made a pen by simply putting wire
door across an unused horse stall There
Egert was very comfortable. Sometimes
Farmer Browns Boy took him out and
gave him a chance to walk about. 1t
was funny to see him. He was very
stately about it. He would lift his feet
high with each step. Once in while
he would jump up in the air in the
funniest way.
OF course, Egert didn't quite under
stand what was wrong with him. He
knew that there had been the bang Of
terrible gun, something had hurt him.
and when he had tried to fly one wing
about it. OF course he didn't under
stand how very lucky he had been In
having Farmer Browns Boy find him
Just when he did Now the wing was
better, and each time that Egert was
taken out and given q chance to try
it he knew that 1t was better.
Meanwhile he made the best of
things. Farmer Browns Boy brought
him fish every day. This was very nice,
nicer to be able to catch his own fish.
1T isn't just the fish," thought Egert.
These fish are just as good as any
could catch. It's missing the fun of
catching them. / should like to do q
little fishing and little hunting"
Now, some of the family of Robber
the Rat were living in Farmer Browns
barn. OF course, those rats knew that
Egert was there. In fact, they had had
1rxNIy Mt Ilix AI1a trrl,N %I1at
he had spent in the barn. The older
rats didn't like the looks of Egert's long
bill. No, sir, they didn't like the looks
of that long bill. So they kept away;
and they warned the young rats that
If they were wise they would keep away.
For while the young rats needed this
good advice. Then some of them be-
came holder and would stop to peek
into the pen where Egert was Some of
the boldest would even 60 into the pen,
but they always took care to keep a
safe distance from Egert and his long
bill.
There was one young rat who got in
the habit OF stopping In that pen every
night. There was something about that
big white bird that interested him. He
just couldn't go by and not stop to
look, He was very quiet about it. He
thought that he wasn't seen. He
thought that that big white bird was
asleep. But Egert wasn't asleep and
Egert did see him. That is, he saw
him sometimes. Sometimes it was so
dark that Egert didn't see him, but he
knew right where he was. Other times
when the young rat came early and
there was still a little light Egert saw
him clearly
"One of these nights I'll get that fell
low" said Egert to himself. I'll wait
until he grows careless. He will grow
careless. Most people grow careless
after Bit"
So Egert bided his time, and it came
about just as he had expected. That
young rat did grow careless. He actual
ly sat down with his back to Egert
Yes, sir, that's what he did He had

To begin with, George John Romanes
had the scientific mind. A Canaolau
by birth, he received his education AZ
Cambridge, remained in England, ana
won worldwide fame as psychoiogist
and BIOLOGIST. He wrote extensively
and his works on mental evolution, AMI
NAL intelligence and other subjects are
still widely read, in TINS country aS
well as in England.
He regarded the circumstances &C
companying the death of his Older sis
ter, Georgina, not Superstltlously, oue
with reasoning curiosity.
Miss RomaneS had been i'll and was
confined to her chamber, which was
next to that of Romanes. However, tne
family doctor, who was in attendance,
did not apparently suspect tnat neI
condition vas at all serious. He hao
not alarmed her brother in any way
and the latter, while OF course depress-
ed. was not worried. He fully expected
that she would soon recover and be up
and about again.
It was on a March night, while Ro-
names was lying in bed, that a strange
thing happened. He believed himself
to be awake at the time, but he may
have been asleep and dreaming.
Near the head of his bed was door
which was closed. Slowly this door
opened and through 1t appeared spec.

him.
Romanes perceived that it was COW
cred from head TO foot in shroud, but
since the face was hidden, he did not
recognize it.
The figure remedied this situation.
Its hands suddenly parted the shroud,
revealing the face of his sister.
"Georgina,'' exclaimed Roranes.
His voice no sooner sounded than
the figure vanished instantly in thin
air. Thinking now he had been dream
ing he went to sleep.
The next day he was so depressed by
his experience that he began to worry
1t seemed to him now that Miss Ro-
names appeared worse than he had
suspected.
The result was that he sent for Sir

ologist and surgeon, whose skill had
made him physician to the late Queen
Victoria. Sir William gave Miss Ro-
names a careful examination and then
drew her brother aside.
MY dear Romanes," he said, you
must prepare for a shock. Your sister
has only few days to live"
1t turned out that the great physi-
clan was right. Miss Romanes died not
long after.
To the end of his life Romanes was
deeply impressed by the incident of the
apparition. At the time he had been
in the best OF health, without any
anxiety whatever. His sister had not
been at all alarmed by her condition.
It may be added that very strong
bond existed between the scientist and
the sick woman. They had been closely
attached since childhood. Once her
tender nursing had brought him through
an almost fatal illness.

all on board-and yesterday cast the
body of one victim back to the shore

the other eight victims forever.
The body of Mrs. Helen Frease,
recovered by her cousin, was the
first the sea had returned during
25 years of previous drownings.
The bay town of Marshall was
plunged in sadness as hope COM
pletely vanished that any members
of the two families reported lost had
been saved. Only a miracle could
have kept the five women and four
men passengers alive in the heavy

the wreck withdrew sadly today,
convinced that further efforts were
useless. The bow-board of the toun-
dered launch was the lone bit OF
Wreckage recovered.
The dead were: Jack FreaSe, 35,
contractor of Marshall; Mrs. Helen
FreaSe. his wife; Mrs. Mary Frease

his wife, Carolina Augustine, their
son, Daniel, and daughters, Gertrude

The body of Mrs. Helen Frease
was discovered face downward by
cousin, William Lockart, who had
kept a constant search for his rela-
tives since hearing Of the tragedy.

The well, with a gas volume OF
6O,OO0O00 cubic feet daily, broke
loose yesterday, hurting more than
5000 feet Of piping against the tall
derrick. Sparks caused by the irlc-
ton ignited the escaping gas.
Workmen early today started re-
moving steel debris from the mouth
of the we'll. necessary before nitro
glycerin can be used in an attempt
to snuff the fire. Heavy blocks and
tackles were used to drag away the
pieces of derrick, melted and twisted
by the white torch of burning gas.
So intense was the heat that only
workmen clad in asbestos suits could
approach the well. Streams OF wa
ter were played on them as they
worked
Fircmen were posted near the
well, located on the outskirts OF We
woka and near the famous Semi
mole oil fields. to prevent spread OF
the flames to city homes, many OF
them owned by oil millionaireS. Six
teen drilling operations and eight
producing oil wells in the area were
shut down because of the fire ha-
zard.
The wild we'll drilled to 1887 feet
was backed by enormous pressure
causing the burning gas to spew
high into the air, The well blew
out of control early this month, but
