Asia. During the early days Of this
country hay was used for packing pur-

come in this fashion, has seen the op-
portunities offered to immigrants and
has become q wealthy landowner. For

Of fact, many are now realizing what
care. good soil and love will accom-

large, perfect flowers and sown in the
autumn in home gardens. The regu-

abundance Of food, are rewarded by
the gardner having large clumps OF
handsome white flowers, for back

Daisy
(Bellis perennis.) }
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

~ AAAAAAIS WA a hL1s
TOR April the daisy has been
r. chosen. It is q happy little
/ blossom that In most States
makes its bow in June. Then
the fields, roadsides and meadows look
as II they had been swept by a belated
snowstorm. Pennsylvania chose the
daisy as her emblem.
So many make the mistake Of be-
lieving that each daisy Is single
flower. 1t is really many flowers
grouped together for the purpose of
attracting attention a1d also for the
advancement Of the plant. The fact
Is the daisy is weed with clever ideas
about successful cooperation on big
scale.
In order to prosper the first thing
each tiny seed of the daisy does after
finding itself on bit of soil is to be-
gin going into the soil and keep going
as it grows. A firm foundation is all
important, as you know. That idea
troubles the farmer quite little. 1t
means naught to daisy to have her
head cut off, since her taproot is in the
ground and can SEM up another head

straight, dark figure. A man of about
80. She had fallen, and he had
helped her to her feet, and they had
smiled at each other. The blood had
tingled in her veins and the sensa-
ton had not been because of the
sharp February wind.
He thinks I'm young she told
herself. Every one does. I am young.
A persons only as old as she feels.
When the time comes I'm going to
tell him I'm 81, and he'll never

She was glad that her hair was
red, because red hair took long time
in graying And she was glad that
she had always bought the best beauty
creams and taken care of herself.
She selected the pale blue, filmy frock
that she had flung in her bag the last
minute. when dressing for dinner.
Then she thought: He'll think 1t
queer that I'm with such an old crowd.
I mustn't act as if I'm enjoying them
too much I must be sophisticated"
Ray Ferris and Bess Masher and
Art Carlton were waiting in the lobby
when she came downstairs. They were
laughing over some joke that Ray
hod told, laughing gayly and with
abandon. They hadn't changed from
their ski things.

RUTH boiled inwardly. She hoped

to hear them. They were q good
crowd. She had had lot of fun with
them. But they had let age sneak
up and overtake them without doing
anything about it! They admitted
their years and wore them with in
difference and abandon.
In the dining room Ruth suffered.
Dan Bronson was sitting with two
companions a couple of tables away.
He kept looking at Ray, who persist
ed in telling his dull jokes, and at
the others who laughed so loudly.
Once his gaze crossed hers, and she
dropped her eyes. She tried to give
every one the impression that these
Old people were boring her to tears.
At the dance that evening in the
lobby she half expected that Dan
Bronson would ask her to dance. but
he didn't appear She knew it was
because these old people with their
loudness annoyed him. She wished
she could make him understand that
they annoyed her. too
The next day she contrived after an
hour or so to leave Ray and Bess
and the rest of them and get off by
herself. She knew where Dan Bron-

sensation Of floating through space,
landing eventually in a downy bed.
Events that transpired within the
next half hour were vaguely sketched
on her memory. Far away she heard
excited voices. She knew face that
was close to her own, peering intently.
Curiously she recognized that face,
and her heart leaped. It was Dan
Bronson. 1t was Dan Bronson. 1t
was Dan Bronson who had hit her.
Oh, joy!
CHE was aware of being lifted up and
carried to the foot of the slope
and being laid on bench that was
there. She heard some one saying
something about running for a to-
boggan and doctor. Then some one
put snow on her face, and some one
else began chafing her hands
Nothing broken" she heard a voice
say, More sacred than hurt. guess"
Shes out cold though" another
voice replied. Better get her to a
doctor as quickly as possible"
Complete consciousness returned,
but Ruth kept her eyes closed. She
imagined it was Dan Bronson hold
ing her hands. It was the excuse he
had been looking for, and she wanted
to do nothing to hinder him from
making the best Of it.
Who is she, DAMP a mans voice

Don't be dumb. That gals too

I'll bet dollar she's not day over
40."
There followed an Indifferent ar.
gument over whether or not a woman
at 40 was apt to have grown children.
Ruth suspected they were talking to
keep their spirits up. They were
afraid she was really hurt.
She opened her eyes and sat up 1t

Dan was standing several feet away

at her in surprise.
