SUGGESTIONS?
(From Mrs. Z. L. c., Washington J
/ received the replies from Mrs
H. r. A. and M. L. H., In re artificial
flower supplies and I do thank them
and also you so very much. It Just
shows how widely read your column
Is among the ladies. I have wanted
to contact Mrs. H. r. A. for such a
long time and the fact that she
recognized my initials and answered
my query is nothing short Of q
miracle. She was one Of my in
structors in this art, and I had no
idea Of where she lived.
In the days when we were able
to secure the wood fiber we house.
! wives used to meet at the studio
learn how to make beautiful flowers,
talk and enjoy every minute. Then
we would keep the flowers for home
or sell them. In this way We earned
a little spending money, which
means so much to q housewife.
have wondered II some one might
suggest some other hobby or art that
one might take up to bring In a
little income?
1t Is not only the income, but
diversion one gets by having such
hobbies and outside contacts.
would love to hear Of anything new
from the ladies.

cAsABIANCA.
Ine boy stood on the burning deck.
Ths name that I it 1T tie he yassI.s asai wreck ~
Shone round him Ger the dead.
Yet beautiful and brisht he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature Of heroic blood,
proud though childlike form.
The flames rolled on-he would not 90
Without his fathers word;
That father. faint in death below,
His voice no longer heard.
He called aloud; SAY. father. say
He knew not that the chieftain lay
Unconscious of his son.
Speak. father" once asain he cried.
And but the booming shots replied,
And fast the flames rolled on.
Upon his brow he felt their breath.

And looked from that lone post Of death,
In still. vet brave despair.
And shouted but once more aloud
my father! must stay7"
While o'er him fast. through sail and
shroud
The wreathins fires made way.
They vrapt the ship in splendour Wild
They caught the nag on high,
And streamed above the gallant child
Like banners IN the sky.
Then came a burst Of thunder sound
The boy-ohl where was he?
Ask OF the winds that far around
| With fragments strew the sea;
| With mast, and helm, and pennon fair.
That well had borne their part
But the noblest thing that perished there
Was that young, faithful heart.
