Playing Crde For a Treaty
Tears ago I was In America and
went down with tho English minister
In the United States to a small Inn In
Virginia where we wcro to meet Mr.
Marcy, the then United States secre
tary of state, and a reciprocity treaty
between Canada and tho United States
was to bo quietly discussed. Mr. Mar
cy, tho most genial of men, was an
cross aa a bear. Ho would ngrco to
nothing. "What on earth is tho matter
with your chief r I sold to a secretary
who accompanied him. "Ho does not
havo his rubber of whist" answered
tho secretary. After this every night
the minister and I played at whist
with Mr. Marcy and hla secretary, and
every night wo lost Tho stakes wero
very trifling, but Mr. Marcy felt flat
tered by beating tho Britishers at
what ho called their own game. His
good humor returned, nnd every morn
ing when tho details of tho treaty wcro
being discussed wo had our revenge
nnd scored a few points for Cannda.

Cost of Floral Decorations.
Millions of dollars aro spent on floral
decorations in America every year. It
is said that tho amount spent for deco
ratlvo purposes each year is sufficient
to build threo battleships and place
them in commission. It is considered
nothing unusual for $1,000 to bo charg
ed by florists for decorating a banquet
hall, whilo as much as $15,000 has been
paid for homo decorations. Tho deco
rator has to go through a hard and long
school of experlenco beforo ho Is ablo
to command tho Balnry of an expert, for
tho materials at his command aro of a
frngllo nature, nnd it Is next to im
possible to experiment with them. Cer
tain set forms aro known and prescrib
ed for certain occasions, but when a
carlo blancbo order is "given then the
art of the decorator comes into play,
and hla artistic sense Is well tested, for
it depends upon him to pleaso bis pa
trons in an artistic way, and also by
the wondefful blending of aa flowers.
