The flower OF the yellow aVens is
so pretty and it had been seen on so
many occasions along fence rows,
woodland borders and even close to
streams, that it was shock to find
that it was not listed among Wild
flowers, search hard as 1 would. It
was well established in the weed
clan and all the directions needed
for its determination.
so. you are not as innocent as
you look l decided, and further
investigation taught me that the
guileless expression of the flower
was what fooled me. Her children
were the ones that caused her dis
grace. Alas, honesty forces me to
admit that she was responsible for
the acts of her offspring, so her
story had to go into print.
No immigrant could have made
greater strides than this native. We
have been SO eager to report about
the naturalized plants selling every
opportunity in the country of their
adoption, and forgetting we have a
few that have not let any chance
slip that would assure success to
the coming generations.
From Nova Scotia to Minnesota,
southwark to Georgia and Missouri,
the yellow avens and her cousin,
the white avens. have been going
about their business.
From June until August there are
many flowers. They are small and
not over half-inch wide. The
five broad flaring petals are yellow
and rounded. There are numerous
stamens inserted on a disk at the
base of the ref1exed and pointed

The stems are from l to 2 feet
high. They are rather slender, and
have much more strength than you
would give them credit for. The
plant is finely haired and branched

TodayHe Is a Man
And About Town.
At That

Almost overnight Freddie Bar
tholomew has become one of the
screen colony's most gallant young
men about town!
Studio associates comment almost
daily on the fact that the youthful
English star has already passed the
most painful" portion of the
growing-up stage. Completely at
home in long trousers and collegiate
style clothes, he cuts a dashing fig
ure in the new tuxedo which has
recently been added to his wardrobe.
Members of the Hollywood younger
set are we'll aware that Freddie is
considered very desirable date" by
teen age girls whom he has escorted
to parties and movie theaters in
company with his aunt. There is
hardly a week that passes when
some attractive young actress does
not visit Freddie on the Bright
Victory set at Universal where he is
co-starring with Jackie Cooper.
Myllicent Bartholomew, better
known as Freddies Aunt Cissy,"
admits that she can no longer ignore
the fact that her famous charge is
fairly leaping into young manhood.
1t is Freddie, now, who orders the
theater tickets, guides her way
through traffic and makes sure that
she is comfortable at home, on the
set and in public.
Miss Bartholomew confesses that
she is overcome" with all this new
attention and manly protectiveness.
But. she is continually amused and
amazed at the changes taking place
in the mild. soft spoken boy whom
she brought to America just five
years ago.
She feels that he is voicing the
sentiment of most parents and
guardians when she says:
watching boy grow up is more
interesting than a three-ring circus.
I never know what to expect next"
