Old Dog Spot wat bewildered.
When he crawled under the cav
l.e had not dreamed that lie wis en
tering the main tent of the circus.
He taw io many strange sigh's that
he didn't know whether to bark or
to crawl away and hide aomewlure.
Vet among all those people ' Iclt
ery lonely. He couldn't sea any
body he knew.
All at once the bandnmen began
to play louder thau ever. They
neemcd to be trying to burst their
horn or themselves. And titen in
llowing robes, each one standing In
n sort of little two-whcclcd cart uud
driving four hones abreast, came
:
Spot acnt the surly fellow yeipinfl
i into his maatr' yard,
tearing past the place where Spot
was standing. v
It-M-as a racel And if there was
one thing that Spot liked more than
f another it was a race of any kind.
He gave a few delighted bark and
run after the galloping horses.
Spot followed them twice around
the big tent. And just as he f .'il into
a jog for the race was finished lie
heard a whistle that gave him a great
thrill. He stood still for a instant.
'Then he dashed toward the nearest
scats. '
A moment Liter, he was fanning
'upon Johnnie f:rt.cn, who sat in the
lowest row and eemcd as glad to
see Spot as Spot was to see him.
Lying between . Johnnie's feet,
Spot watched the rest of the show.
At last the circus was over. The
(Irccn family, with Spot . at their
1 eels, went back to the place where
they had left the bays and the carry
alls. And in a few minutes more
they were on their way back to
Pleasant Valley and home.-
That morning everybody on the
road had seemed to be in a great
hurry to get to the village. And
" now, late in the afternoon, every
body 'was in just as great a hurry to
get away from it, Farmer Green
kept the bays at ,a. spanking trot,
' only pausing to, let them breathe now
and then on the hills. i .1, '

' Since this day belongs to Venus,
the lapis-lazuli, symbol of faithful
love, is both the talismanic and natal
s,tpne. This lovely blue gem. which
is so nearly a sapphire, was believed
by the ancients to be a cure for
melancholy, the melancholy that
arises from disappointment in love.
It was a much prized stone among
the Egyptians; indeed, it was known
as a "vamp" gem.and history re
cords that Cleopatra and other fa
mous sirens favored it greatly as an
ornament.
Violet is the color prescribed by
oriental superstition for wear on this
day. It is particularly recommend-
f ed for t!insi- who suffer from nerv
ousness or insomnia.
The oak leaf is a symbol of good
I luck today. Its presence indicates

fortunate as a decoration at social

WHY-
in
Heated
Do Flowera Droop
Room? .'.
While we are accustomed to think
ing of flowers as becoming flaccW
nd lifeless shortly after being
brought into a heated room, this is
by no means always true as evi
denced by the size and beauty of the
blossoms in a greenhouse or con
servatory, where the temperature is
maintained at a high point. The
difference lies in the fact that, in the
first case, the flowers have grown in
the open air and are then brought
into the heat of the house and, in
the second, they have been accus
tomed to a fairly high degree of heat
and have become acclimated to it.
Garden flowers or wild flowers
need plenty of fresh cool air in order
that they may be kept for even a
few days in full possession of their
original beauty. If placed in a
heated atmosphere, the heat naturally
tends to withdraw some of the mois
ture from their stems and petals and
they thus become drooped and life
less. In fact, there are some flowers
lilies of the valley, for example
which thrive best if their roots or
bulbs have been exposed to a freez
ing temperature for a short time,
and, as a general rule, a temperature
just short of frost is beneficial to the
majority of flowering plants, with
the exception of those which have
been accustomed through years of
growth to a tropical climate. The
drooping of flowers in a heated room,
therefore, is not due primarily to the
temperature, but to an unaccustomed
c.nge which alters the supply of
water which the blossoms receive
and-thus robs ' them, ot a portion of
their life. . .

Jack and Jill
Jack came home from the office
at the accustomed hour, but not in
the accustomed manner.
He was laden like the proverbial
pack-mulc.
"What in the world have, you
there?" cried Jill.
"Huih," said Jack in a iuysteri
ou way. "Wail.'
lie disappeared down tb cellar
stairs taking the immense box or
whatever it might be with him.
Presently he returned and after
tidying himself up a bit sat down to
the evening meal with a grin on
his face.
"You look at if you had swallowed
the canary," laughed Jill. "What i
the big secret?"
"I brought a home-brew outfit to
dav cheap," said Jack.
"Jack!" Mr. Jack couldn't icll just
what Jill thought of it whether it
was cry of joy or one of horror.
"Well what of it?" he demanded
stoutly.
"Home brew! Not liquor'"
"Oh, no jut some good old beer."
"Hut, honey, you don't like beer."
"Who doe.n't like beer?, What
ure you talking about?"
"Why. I never knew of you to
take a glass of brer all the time, I've
known you, and that' more than i
years." .
"Go on."
"Really, honey-"
"Sure J like beer."
"our own mother told me last
summer thatvyou didn't know what
the taste of beer was."
"Go on what does mother know
about it?"
Jack disappeared into the cellar
immediately after the dessert not
even waiting for the coffee. Jill
heard strange noises issuing from the
.Itiirwa v. Thrre wil l riltle of
tinware and presently she heard jack
building a fire in tho little iron stove
in the laundry.
"Honey," she called from the top
of the stairs.
"What is it now?"
"How long does it take to do it?"
"Do whatl"
"Make the beer."
"Oh, just a little while to cook it
and then we put it away to keep
to settle and get a little kick in
it."
Jill shivered at the callous 'viiied
nes the had discovered in her hus
band. It was midnight before he came
up to bed. He wa still grimy in
spite of much scrubbing and scour
ing of his hands and he was tired.
He fell asleep with the innocence
of a babe.
At breakfast, however, he was hi
own cheerful self.
He spread out the morning paper
after giving Jill the inside section.
"Well, what do you know about
that?" he cried.

she heard him clatter noUily down

hour before he returned. .
"Well," he said ruefully. '1 gus
we'll have no home-brew."

lie handed her bi section of tne
