THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Hibiscus
Interesting word, interesting flower.
1t means marsh mallow, and refers to
genus of malvaceous plants, Of which
the althea and the common hibiscus
are Well-knoWn.
Every one familiar with the flowers Of
the althea shrub recognizes this kinship
instantly on seeing one Of the great din
ner plate sized blossoms Of the hibiscus.
Few flowers excite more interest than
these huge blooms, especially when
brought into a downtown of1ice.
The fact that they will last only q
few hours, even when placed in water,
makes them not good for such usage,
but the real fun, Of course, comes In the
jokes made by persons unfamiliar with
them.
Where did you get the daisy?" some
Wag is sure to ask.
The daisy" of course, is some to
10 inches in diameter.
The motion pictures often show beau
ties Of the great South Seas wearing
these huge pink blooms in their hair.

1t is amazing to many home garden
ers to know that they may have these
Few flowers are easier to grow.
Although true marsh mallows do best
in damp soil, such as at the edge of a
the garden are hybrids, and do well in
drier soil.
The roots OF this plant are long and
tapered, and Of such strength that 1t is
most difficult to disengage them from
the earth, once they have taken hold
and grown well for a season.
These roots live on year after year.
although the tops die down, leaving only
bare canes in the. wind. These canes.
OF course, are dead, and nothing grows
on them again. Entire new growth
must be made from the roots each year.
This begins early in Spring, and by this
time the bush is S or 6 feet high, and
begins to send forth the huge blossoms.
1t is the size of the flowers which
compels attention, but the texture of the
petals is not coarse, as might be
expected, nor is the color poor. In fact,
these hybrid specimens now come in
several fine colors. including pinks, reds
and whites. and combinations Of these
colors. Also in pale yellow.
For large flower, the hibiscus is deli
cate. If We wNe to place it Immediately
alongside spike of gladiolus we would
see at once where the latter is more
velvety in texture, more refined in char
acter, more subtle in every way. But at
the back fence. where its rather coarse
habit of growth belongs, it is very
good shrub, although it possesses one
fault, even there, which is that it is
rather floppv. The canes, unless staked
up and held with a string, may blow
down in a Summer thunderstorm.
This shows very well how nature
takes care of such things; in the natural
habitat, especially in the marshes. the
old canes from last years blooming are
left behind. and these still stand to help
hold up the plant. When the wind,
strikes a clump OF such nature grown
hibiscus, or hibiscuses, the new canes,
with their great blooms, blow over
against old canes, and are held up.
The word Is pronounced "high-bis-
Gus" with the accent on the second
syllable.
1t is funny to listen to some persons
who think they must be "arty" at all
costs. The terrible ways they twist this

barred from the lanes of passenger traf-
hc and confined to lines provided exclu-
sively for their use there would be un-
questionably material reduction in the
casualties which are now so grave a
menace In this country.
This matter must be taken into con-
sideration sooner or later. The use of
trucks for freight carriage, and especially
OF dangerous loads such as oil and gaso-
line, is toe great menace to life to be
borne longer without some attempt to
find remedy.

Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
Homing Thoughts.

Homing Thoughts.
I'm homesick tonight for the old, old
days,
The earnest nonsense Of childhoods
plays;
want to be young, very young, again,
When the only sorrow was physical pain,
Or the broken strands of a daisy chain.
To wake at dawn with a heart full Of
song
For the day that never seemed too long,
When only pleasure missed brought
froWn;
And to whisper, as night inclosed the
town,
With sleep-bowed head: Nov lay
me down"

Hats.

Hats.
OF fashions we must still take heed
AS frequently they change,
And some of which just now we read
Appear as passing strange.
And now as women set the pace
They warn that for a while
In cultivating proper grace
High hats are out Of style.
The hint is one men can't neglect;
The proud and lofty way
Is one that no one should neglect
In this momentous day.
We meet our neighbors, man to man,
And try to wear smile.
Remembering in this modern plan
The high hats out Of style.
Keep yoh imagination under control"
