Geography In Stamps
FF.ritCH AND PORTUGUESE INDIA
It is doubtful if mnny people who
ire not .' tamp collectors realize that
there i e certain small arena along
the c ; t of British-controlled India
that are under the jurisdiction of
France and Portugal. Of these
Fit PNCII INDIA consists of live
rather widely-separated dependencies
that arc known, respectively, ns Chan
derm:gore, Ynnam, Pondicherry, Kari
kul and Mahe. Since 1892 special
stamps have been Issued for this
group inscribed “Ktabllssments Fran
cais dans L'Indc,” (French Posses
sions in India).
I,ike most French Colonial postal
emissions, these stamps are large and
Colorful, many being printed in two
colors. Most of them are quite plenti
ful, the only Issue that Is at all scarce
being that comprising four surcharged
jialues in 1903.
PORTUGUESE INDIA includes Hit
two dependencies of Goa and Daman
on the west coast of India together
with tiie small island of Diu lying
close to the mainland a few miles we t
of the latter territory. Ilcgiiming in
1871 Portugal has issued a large num
ber of postal items of which many of
the earlier ones are scarce and of
high catalogue vulue. In fact Scott
lists no less than 161 major varieties
that appeared previous to 1883, al
most all of which are catalogued at
$2 or more each, while literally dozens
are listed at prices ranging from $10
to $500. Obviously, then, this is not
a group for the average collector to
specialize in since the attempt to
acquire even approximate complete
ness would require the expenditure ot
u very large sum of money

It was a regular occurrence now—
Danny mooting Emerald every night
jn the I.and of Nod. lie no longer
i went with the Sand Man, who visits
children only once. He met Emerald
! in the Green Meadow where the Sand
I Man had left him that first time, re
: member? He did not know how he
i went there he only knew that some
how, he came to the Green Meadow
with Emerald waiting and before him
was Adventure.
But there came a night when Danny
wondered how he was ever going to
let Emerald know. She would be wait
ing for him in the I.and of Nod, hut
Danny was sick and could not leave
Ilia bed. He had funny spots all over
Ids face and he heard Doctor Sugar
pill tell his mother not to let the sun
shine in his room that day. And
now it was night and the big, beauti
ful moon was shining in his room and
it made Danny feel more cheerful. He
remembered a story that his father
had told him nbout the moon travel
ing all over the world, and it gave
him an idea.
“Hello, Lady Moon.” said Danny.
Lady Moon was so pleased that she
smiled and was more beautiful than
ever. Then the little boy continued,
“Lady Moon, I am lonely, having to
stay in bed for days, would you please
tell Emerald that . . Suddenly
the moon was not there, or at least
he could not see her, and there in the
sky were big black clouds that looked
like horses and sail boats and palm
trees.
Just then Danny heard someone
sneeze, and on the window sill stood
• very tiny man with a long nose and
ML but mouth and merrv ♦winklin'*
eyts. He wore a hat with a funny
thing sticking straight up, which was
much taller than the man himself,
Danny had to laugh at the funny
fellow and invited him to came in.
The little man jumped down from
the window on to the bed and made
a very deep bow—so deep that the
funny thing in his hat tickled the boy
under the chin and made him laugh
again. Then Danny saw that this
curious hat trimming was a sprig of
pussywillow. He said to the little
man, “Who are you and how did you
come here?”
The husky little voice answered, “1
am the Dwarf of the Pussywillows.
Lady Moon sent me to you because
you are lonely. Would you like to
hoar some music?”
Without waiting for Danny to an
swer, he picked up a wee violin and
started to Addle away for all he was
worth. The music was beautiful and
Danny thought of Emerald waiting
for him in the Land of Nod. If site
were here she would sing. When the
Dwarf of the Pussywillows stopped
playing he hopped and tumbled all
over the bed and looked very comical.
He also told Danny funny stories
which made him laugh.
Danny told the Dwarf of the
Pussywillows that he was glad he
came to visit, and to please thank
Lady Moon for him for being so kind.
The Dwarf said, “Unless I much
mistake, Lady Moon will send more
sky people down to you.”
“I would like that,” and Danny was
thinking that it was not so bad being
sick if you had pleasant playmates
to visit you.

CITY__STATE_ -
CWE cny STREETS
BLOOM
r.y ANN JOYCE
A florist’s shop is like an oasis in
a city. Here town and country meet.
'Hie jaded passerby is refreshed by
tlie sight of roses and trailing vines.
Thoughts of tired business men turn
for a moment from offices to rural
scenes and flower filled gardens.
Though but temporary the change is
an uplift and a relief.
Every neighborhood that has a flor
ist nearby is fortunate. Besides the
[beauty of the colorful show windows,
which in itself is an asset worth con
sidering, there is the practical side.
There are so many occasions when
nothing else can quite tuke the place
of flowers to express one’s thoughts
und feelings. And among all the
lovely flowers that bloom there are
always some that are more appropri
ate than others. The high-class florist
makes it his business to know just
which ones tiiese are.
There is the little basket cradle
that is often sent to welcome the new
baby. If the little newcomer is a boy
the florist knows that the cradle
should be filled with blue forget-me
nots or other small blue flowers. A
little girl baby lias pink flowers in her
basket, generally tiny pink rosebuds.
For the sweet girl graduate the
florist suggests any gay flowers avail
able. Itoses are first choice, American
[Beauties being favorites or the more
colorful talisman roses.
Red roses the florist tries to keep
on hand for ardent youths to send to
their lady loves. Red roses are lovers’
favorites, perhaps the depth of color
expressing the depth of their regard.
The supreme achievement of the
florist is the shower bouquet for the
bride. No amateur can accomplish
this feat successfully and no bride’s
costume seems quite complete without
it. Also for a church wedding it is the
florist who knows best how to dec
orate the church, where to place the
palms and how to arrange the altar.
The little old-fashioned bouquets of
debutantes are another of his achieve
jaents that no one else can equal.
He knows, too, that a sick child
will get more joy out of a box of
pansies than from most other flower
gifts. Each pansy represents a tiny
face and will give no end of entertain
ment to the little patient.
In sickness he suggests to his cus
tomers the flowers most appropriate
to the condition of the invalid. Some
flowers have too strong a perfume for
very sick persons and he can advise
which would be best in such cases.
If the patient’s illness is not seri
ous he is likely to suggest a box of
mixed flowers which will give the sick
one delightful occupation in arranging
and rearranging them. A suitable
vase of clear glass is often included
with the flowers to make the gift
complete.
In times of bereavement no one
knows so well as the florist how to
mitigate in part the sorrow of the
bereaved by the sympathetic influence
of flowers. They bring with them
loving thoughts which assure those in
trouble that they are not alone in
their grief.
. For dinner parties exquisite center
pieces will be mude up in the colors
and for the price the hostess wishes.
During football season chrysanthe
mums of muny colors will fill the
florist’s window to help the girl
friends of the players celebrate in
true collegiate form.
On St. Patrick’s Day green carna
tions will be there in honor of the
good old saint.
Florists are first of all flower lovers
and they recognise all other flower
lovers as'kindred souls. Often the ex
quisite arrangements of the shop win
lows arc masterpieces; for the artistic
temperament seems to be a part of
the successful florist’s make-up.
And the perfume! How it floats out
from within to cheer everyone who
passes. How much joy and mental
relief these oases in the streets give
to city dwellers is difficult to calcu
late. But they do help to brighten
lordid lives. So blessings on the
lower shops that gladden the city
treets!

HOW THATCHA DO IT!
So you want to be a “glamour
girl,” huh?
You want your sisters, on both
sides of the color line to turn
green wijh perplexity when you
spring your newly acquired chic
and «ex appeal on ’em don’t you?
(If you don’t—khat ails you?)
Well, the first think you hafna
do is to take inventory. You
know, when a storekeeper adds
bo his stock, he first finds out
how much of what he want® he’s
already got, and then adds
whatever is needed. Next, he ad
vertises it so that he can sell it—
and so must you! Fortunately,
unlike the storekeeper, no woman
has to smrt from startch. Every
woman, even if she’s snaggle
toothed, cockeyed, eold-skuttle
brunette has some redeeming
feature. (A clear cormplextion,
maybe—or nice hands ?)
So—what have you got? What
ever it is, that’s your personality
yards'dck. According to diction
aries this personality business is
simply: “The sum of one’s quali
ties of body, mind and character;
that which makes one human be
ing different from another; in-*
dividuality.”
So you see it behooves you to
find out just what there is about
your body mind or character that
is different—and to play it up!
Joan Crawford played up her
“ugly” mouth—as did Martha
Ra,ye—and made us like it! Vir
ginia Bruce’s lovely eyes hold
her rather ordinary face togeth
er, and make us think she’s beau
tiful. Zaszu Pitts’ helpless hands
literally charm ills. (It is too bad
we can’t cite naiti'onalBy kn|own
sepia beauties—but sobeit.)
If you’re intellectual and have,
a soft, well modulated voice, but
the Lord was in too generous a
mood when He said, “I’ll make
you a mout'h—or nose—etc,”
TALK your way to charfm! (Like
Mary McLeod Bethune, f’rin
stance.)
On the other hand, if the Mas
ter gathered the softest brown of
tho earth and molded it into a
miracle of loveliness and called
it you—(but facts and figures
bore you, and you’ve never had
a thought you could honestly
QUESTION
]A(hJch are the

-
1 call your own)—then utilize and
advertise your God-given S. A.
i. e., Sex Appeal, for all it’ worth.
(Which really means, concen
trate on the type of clothes and
kinds of cosmetics which enhance
your particular type of beauty.)
See “Charm Analysis Chart-”
Maybe you have a million-dol
Lar smile, but the r®st of your
face isn’t worth the time it takes
'Jo say so? Then—smile, dam
yuh, smile! (And use your hali
tosis, caries, and pyorrhea-pre
venting dentifrice “twice a day.”)
Or, is it your long, slender, ta
pering fingers gently caressing a
leathered cheek that have been
paying dividends in this charm
racket? If so, play ’em up with
the right shade of polish. Maybe
it’s the graceful manner in which
you undulate (not switch) when
you walk ?
Whatever it is, capitalize it!
Advertise it!
Remember: YOU are the pro
t duct which you are going to sell
the World at large, and to some
man in particular, be he the boss
husband or boy-friend. You’ve
got to know' that product before
you can present a good “sales
argument” (appearance).
So let’s get to work on that
redeeming feature” and with it
as a starting point well gla
