1T WAS a beautiful day, and the
Il young pastor had decided to 60
out for a walk. Suddenly he
stopped short, clapped hand to
his forehead. Racing back to the
parsonage, he hastily dressed and
showed up at the church 20 min

That" he vowed later, must

1t doesn't have to. There's a

you try to keep appointments,
things to do, shopping lists, tele-
phone numbers in your head? If
so, unless you're a memory expert
you must sometimes forget to
bring home that loaf of bread or

one appointment with the dem

You don't have to take a men,

Spring Violets.

Violets are the most beloved
flower Of thousands Of nature lovers.
Most violets are royal bue blooming
in profusion in the woods, damp
meadows moist marshes or along
bitches. There are white ones and
pale blue ones, all have five petals
and heart shaped leaves.
Some of the wildlings develop
long stemmed flowers, favorites for
bouquets. Most of them can be
transplanted to shady moist spot
in your home garden where left
to their own devices, they soon
spread over a large area. Still they
are so welcome in early spring, you
hesitate to uproot them, even when
you need the room for less ambi-
tious flower.
The flowers all possess five petals
and five stamens, the two lowest
with appendages that project into
the spur or nectar cup of the lower
or odd petal. In some Of the wild
species, there is fringe on the petal
forming an arch which is supposed
to brush the pollen of insects.
Every flower has developed some
device for obtaining pollen from
a guest she serves. They have also
perfected gagets to protect them
selves from pilfering guests. Ants
are famous for stealing nectar,
Bundle bees cut Sits in petals to
obtain drink without paying for it.
A few violets have guide lines
leading to the banquet hall. The
Woody violet clothes her stems and
younger leaves in white hairs which
appear like woolens. The question
has been raised whether this is not
a clever scheme to tangle up the
feet of unwanted visitors.
You will be surprised how many
species Of violets are in your neigh
borhood and you will find you are as
delighted with new acquaintance
as you are to greet your favorite the
common purple.
