LILIES OF THE BIBLE. They Are Wind Flowers, as No True Lilies Grow In the Holy Land. It is a common belief, even among well informed people, that the word “lily” as used in the sacred text means a renl lily in the modern sense of the word. This, however, is not the case. No renl lily grows or ever grew within the confines of the Holy Land. The white lily tLillutn candidum), which is often mistaken for the plant of Scripture. is not a native of Palestine, nor can it be made to grow there, even in cultivation, without great care. It la comrionly conceded that the plant Christ saw about him during the Sermon on the Monnt was the same plant which in early spring is still found in great abundance in the valleys of that country—namely, the oriental wind flower (Anemone coronarial. The tint of its blossoms is from blood Ted to crimson, and It is called wind flower, not. as commonly supposed, because the slender stemmed blossoms atfny in tfie breeze, but because the hairy seeds of some species are came 3 and propagated by the wind. The fact that Christ used the word “Illy" w'ben a wind flower or anemone was meant need not surprise us. for the won! was used as the [»eop!e of his day used it And nil the ancient peoples. even the Greeks, employed the word Illium or lirlon or krinon when referring to any plant with a cupllke flower. E'en today. when scientist* spenk of common plants, they mention “water lilies.” “lilies of the valley," etc., although they know full well that these plants are not real Hiles nor even closely related to them.—Baltimore American. Brookfield Wrote With Either Hand. Among the many accompllshmeuts poesesstMl by Charles Brookfield was the exceedingly useful art of being able to write with either hand. This he owed to the early training of bis mother, who when the future dramatic censor was n baby fell a victim to writers’ cramp. She thereupon learn I '/ cd to write with the left hand nnd soon , 5 became proficient. In 1804 Mrs. Brook field published her first novel, which rhe claimed to have written through-' out with her left hnnd. As soon ns 1 her children could use n pen they were taught to hold It in cither hand indifferently, nnd this early training served Charles Brookfield In good stead when he became a orolitic author.—London Graphic.

— w . —- — . '• — _ Good form Breezy Manners of Today. "We were sitting in the drawing room after tea, Mrs. Callander and I,” said a woman recently. "She was a subtlety in velvet and old lace, and I—--1 was her most complete foii in brown channeuse. We were both of that old school of thought which is so hoary that it dares to proclaim its conventionality out loud. "My friend was telling me, in that tender voice so well in keeping with her gentle face and soft gray hair, of two charmingly pretty girls who were presently coming in to see her. ’Every one Is raving about them,’ she declared. ’With their lovely coloring, tall, slight figures and cameo cut features, they have made dreadful havoc in the hearts of the young men round here.' "I was on the qui rive for the first sight of these delightful visions, picturing them when they should enter sitting there in graceful pose, framed against the lovely flowers and old oak paneling of my friend's room. How sweet and dainty they would look in their pretty dresses, with their soft, clear voices and graceful ways, that we foolish old fogies Imagined the prerogative of budding youth! “The door opened at last, and the young girls were ushered in. 1 was amazed at their behavior! They rushed precipitately up the room as though propelled by some unseen force and made a triumphant dart for their hostess (I give their progress as it occurred). Having greeted my friend with a ringing 'how de do' and a hail fellow well met squeeze of the band, which was irresistibly comic to my matured fancy, they favored me with a stare and an ungraceful nod of their pretty heads. "The elder girt then 'threw' (this to the only term which fitly describes her movements)—threw her body into an armchair and. crossing one knee over the other, displayed almost the complete length of one slim leg and more than a little of the other. Her sister, settling herself sideways on a high chair with her elbows comfortably supported on the back rail, began to regale us with stories of her prowess at golf, tennis aud other games, calling across the room to the elder one for confirmation of her tales. ’Wasn't it so. Jennie? Didn’t 1 do a corking stroke at that seventh hole; wot?* receiving a cheery abbreviated nod by way of answer. Their voices were shrill and uncultured; they clipped their words until my friend and I could scarcely understand. Never once during the hour that followed did they assume a graceful pose or show anything of that quiet charm that, in my day at least, invariably marked the gentlewoman. "A well known actress once did a delicious piece of work in one of those plays of which she always makes a success. She crossed the room very slowly, in her inimitable way and. sinking gracefully into an armchair, at the same time putting n cushion to her back, said quietly. ‘lt took me seven years to learn to do this!' Well, it was worth it! What n contrast were her graceful movements with the hoydenish behavior of these young girls. Their shrill voices with her quiet accents! One could Imagine them gripplug their golf sticks or perhaps dancing, for the word is a catholic one now. But one could not con celve them ever getting into a carriage with that little bop. skip, jump* which is spt to arouse the latent humor of the beholder." ■eonomy Hint For Hottest. A very clever hostess with an eys to values and efficiency (which means a maximum effect produced by a minimum amount of labor) makes this well laid plan whereby she lumps her obligations, as It were. She gives a dinner one day to eight or ten guests, follows it the next day with a luncheon sot eight, which she then concludes with a •’tea” for a few more. Rhe figures it out in this way: Tbs j seme flow ers of the evening before may tie rearranged tor the luncheon. The little cakes, nlmonds and sweets, usually untouched, will serve again. A fresh bunch of grapes added to the bowl of fruit, which, though it has been In the les chest overnight to still most presentable, as well as many of the other little touches which the home seems to need In honor of some favored guest or social "lion.” In this way the decorations will answer for three fupctioni Instead of one. But yog must be extremely careful not to let say of these entertainments smack ot leftovers. Nothing Is more insulting to a guest than that This is truly an original plan for economy and a very sensible one. as usually the accessories of a dinner go begging after the feast, and thia Innovation makes admirable use of the flowers, fruits and sweets, and thia to ffo small raring as prices are today. A luncheon, however beautiful, dose not give the pleasure n dinner docs when ths business of the day is over and one Is quite keyed up for sn evea* tag's enjoyment. We ere all more or Issa like Peter Pan and refuse to grow up. and there Is n subtle excitement In an evening entertainment no daytime function will ever afford.
