full maiden named Echo. Narcissus
was too much in love himself to think
of others. and was indifferent to the
deep affection showered upon him oy
her. She pined away, and all that
was left of her was an echo.
This angers Nemesis. the goddess OF
retribution and the enemy OF prloe
and selfishneSS, who decides to teach
Narcissus a lesson. She tells him he
must drink from a certain fountain.
In leaning over the clear water 10
obtain his drink, he sees himself Tor
the first time. He falls in love with
his own image and gazes so long at
it he dies. He is found in the water.
Then the gods decide to turn him
into this lovely flower that bears his
name. From that day to this the
exquisite bloom has enriched the
world and shared with it, the JOY OF
living and giving.
After YOU know this lovely legend,
in which the fragrant flower is show
ing us how much better 1t is to give
than to withhold, if you are fortunate
enough to own a bit of ground, you
will want to plant some bulbs. and
year after year your labor will be re-
warded. If your plants become too
thick. you can separate the bulbs and
either share them with some one or
plant another group of narcissus in
your own garden.
Just as soon as the SHOWS have
passed, you will notice some very
sharp, lsnce-like leaves. pushing their
way out of the ground. The stalk is
wrapped about in paper coat. Day
after day, you notice the stem grow
ing taller. and though still wrapped
in the paper covering, you can see the
rounded tip of the stalk getting
plumper. Then you happen along
when the paper sheath splits and
drops away. The tattered parchment
falls to the base of the green hollow
stalk. and the petals unfurl.
There are two or more flowers on
the one stem, twins, as rule. The
jonquils and the daffodils have only
one. The blossom is shallow, far
ing corona. 1t is greenish yellow,
lovely rosette. with an orange-red
edge. The antlers OF the longest three
stamens make a pretty center. The
perfume is very dainty. The flowers
are set off with many deep-erooved
leaves, that clasp the flower stem
halfway round. AS a rule, the leaves
are the same height as the flowers
stem, and the number Of them de-
pends upon the variety.
In order to have q fine bed of these
flowers, it is best to prepare one to
receive them. The ground should be
dug deep and fertilized with food
needed by the soil Of your garden.
You can find out by test what your
soil lacks. Then the selected bulbs
are planted from four to six inches
apart, the upper end Of the bulb at

vN OLD-FASHIONED gardens you
may find clumps OF narcissus
fiourishing. In one spot they have

and developed many bulb chill

100 years old with these flowers that
were planted by flower lovers of long

The narcissus, as you know, is a
cousin to the jOnquil and the daffodil.
All are interesting flowers that spread
themselves by developing healthy
bulbs under the ground.
The story Of the narcissus is very

Frock Is Acclaimed for Cool Wearab1ity
One Summer Interpretation of
Cotton and Linen Mode in
Pique Material.
Revers are Allied With Cape
to Give Impression of
Sleeveless Coat.
BY BARBARA BELL.

~ NE of the many Summer in
terpretations of the cotton
and linen mode is sketched
~ today in pique model that
shows revers allied with a
cape to give the impression OF a sleeve
less coat. This is frock that We can
acclaim hole-heartedly, for its cool
wearability. The surplice lines of the
double breasted front perform mira
cles for the figure, making the heavier
ones lose pounds. apparently, aud the
thinner ones take on an air of al
Turing plumpness. The slight for
mality that results from the rever-
cape arrangement, and the flaps on
the pockets, give fillip to the wear
erS appearance.
1t is dresses of this sort that you
will live in if you are cast for
town-and- country role this Summer.
II is perfect to wear lunching on one
of the sidewalk cafes in the city, or
as spectator at the country club.
1t is one of those just-right frocks,
that can be worked into use on those
doubtful occasions when you are not
sure just what really should be worn.
The model as pictured. is made OF
white pique. polka dotted in blue. The
two buttons closing the waist are
choice ones of white galalith. The
belt is of self material with buckle
to match the buttons.
Other versions of this same design
are found in linen mesh cotton suit

The Old Gardener Says:

In former years practice was
made of attaching grass catchers
to the lawn mower whenever the
moving machine was used. Now
there is general feeling that
some advantage results from al
lowing the clippings to remain on
the lawn. The fact is that the
lawn is improved by allowing the
clippings to remain if they are
very short. II. on the other hand,
these clippings are long. as they
are likely to be If the lawn is not
moved frequently. they will harm
the grass, particularly if they are
thick enough to form a thick mat.
1t is always best TO rake the lawn,
unless it is moved at least twice
q week. except possibly in Mid
summer, when the growth of the
grass is very slow.

THE Bliss family is believed to be

ancient and honorable name in Nor

a process of evolution, having been
spelled Rloys, BlusSe and BlisSe, but

The family of Bliss has been estab-
lished in England since the Norman
Conquest, but is not found there in
so great numbers as in America. The
seat of the family was in the south of
England and for the most part belong

 Concerning Exhibit

group with Attorney John L. Gaf- fney, secretary of the library board.
 Mir Gaffney Comments
 The order announcing the dis continuance of the exhibit was is- sued today, together with a pre- pared statement by MT Gaffney. The announcement follows:
 When Miss Barrett, librarian of the Bronson library, talked with Miss Farley over a month ago re- garding a cooperative display in the library, the object sought was to stimulate public interest in books on international relations and world peace which were in the library.
 Naturally we had no thought of arousing animosity or ill feel ing on the part of the American Legion, World War veterans or any patriotic society or organization.
 Having heard from representa- tives of these societies that certain posters now on exhibit in the main lobby of the library are objection able to them, and since the repre- sentatives of these societies have voiced their objections, Attorney John l.. Gaffney. secretary of the board of agents of the library to- day ordered the posters taken down and the exhibits discontin- ued."
 Planned for Peace
 Amplifying his statement this MT Gaffney said further: n fnfa 0f or any member of the library board to give the public the im- pression that we encourage paci- ism. l believe I am as patriotic as any one, and as far as disparag- ing the government is concerned, there was absolutely no intention of doing so. I can only repeat that the object of the exhibit, as we saw 1t, was to stimulate interest in books on world peace."
 MT Gaffney added that the con- ference yesterday, at which Miss Marjorie Farley, secretary of the Waterbury Council for Peace Ac- tion. was also present, "was a very pleasant session."
 Objections of the veterans group were to the effect that the posters were more in the nature of propa- ganda than an educational exhibit They also objected to the use of the library as place of enrolment for membership in associations for the promotion of peace.
 Favor Preparedness
 Although not opposed to the principles set forth in the display, members said, they fa- vored preparedness. and an ade- quate national defense as being more effective methods of preserv- ing peace between nations. They frown upon advocacy of disarmament. and especially the use of a public institution for that

Death of Thomas Farley, 43, Leads to Official Probe

Official investigation was begun to-day into the Waterville cave-in Tuesday which last night resulted in the death of Thomas Farley, 43, of 57 East Clay street, one of four men who were trapped by falling sand and gravel. The three others are still in hospitals.
 An overhanging ledge of sand and gravel gave way as the men began work Tuesday morning and the four men were directly in it's path as it slid down the steep bank. Trapped by the falling dirt, the four were saved from .suffo- cation by efforts of a score of fel- low workmen, who extricated them after minutes of frantic digging.
 Farley, seen to be the most seri- ously hurt, was rushed to Water bury hospital in the police ambu- lance. He was found to have suffered a severe compound frac- ture; of the leg and internal hurts as well. Though listed as being in danger till yesterday, Farley gradually weakened and his condi- tion was listed as "criticar' yes- terday.

 I've are enlisted for as many years as may be necessary to en- force respect for the constitution as the charter of principles of hu- man liberty and property rights" he said.
