Each bloom should be put in separately, with an eye to symmetery. Six roses appear far more effective than a dozen in the same stand, for each should stand alone, to rest and refresh the eye and not confuse it. - Jt jt jt MISS FINFROCK HOSTESS.

KNEW IT WOULD RAIN. And He Had a Substantial Basis For His Conviction. A mission teacher on the Bowery, by the force of his enthusiasm, succeeded in gaining the interest of a well known tough, who began at once to change his way of living, certainly to the signal betterment of his worldly comfort. He wore new clothes, associated with attractive people and experienced the prosperity of peaceful ideas. The convert, though much regenerated, could not wholly abandon his former life, and the drift of his mind toward things of the past came into startling evidence. He attended a nondevotional class meeting called by his mentor for the special purpose of'consldering the practical ways and means of promoting a monster basket picnic. An appropriate date for the picnic was one of the matters to be decided. Much to the general astonishment, the convert was greatly opposed to the date favored by all the others. A recess

"But how do you know It is so certain to rain?" Then the convert blurted fortb his reasons helplessly, but with conviction: "I hare it straight that Taboo's people will start her in the third on that very day.

New York, Nov. 8. Just a plain ono dollar bill nearly caused a riot at Ninety-eighth street and Park avenu.?, and resulted in the police reserves bf ing called out from the East KMth street station to quell the disturbance. From the number of, persons that testified at the court held along the curb by the policeman on the beat, it looked as if it was a wild night for losing of one dolar bills. " The complicated affair had its beginning when Mary Gardner, a negro, of 71 East Ninety-eighth street, saw the bill lying In the gutter. With aU due haste and agility she fell upon the homeless currency and the next second was fondly pressing it to her bosom and getting ready to add it to a collection of five others she had in her heavy chatelaine purse. Bertha Freedman. of No. il East Ninety-eighth, saw the negro girl pick up the money and declared she "saw it first," and was just about to close iu

on it when the negro girl corralled it. With hot words of determination she insisted on a prior claim to the bill, basing her position in the matter on the right of discovery. While the two girls were arguing, along came Eddie Fedder, seven years old, of No. 48 East Ninety-eigh'h street, and, with tears streaming down his flushed face, pitifully cried that he had just lost the bill. He said his mother was ill and had sent him to

buy some groceries. The animated 1 cross-fire conversation of the two girls and the crying boy attracted the attention of many passers-by, and soon

a crowd of more than three hundred collected. Not the Only Claimants. While the excitement was at a high pitch an excited young man pushed through the crowd and said he would soon settle the argument, as the bill belonged to him. He said he wa

John O'Rourke, a bank clerk, of No. 1,124 Park avenue. O'Rourke told Policeman Renge.lmann, who was standing in judgment

on the case, that he had opened his pay envelope on the spot where the bill was found, but a few minutes be- j fore, intending to give a friend a few :

dollars, and when the bill dropped to the ground. He said he did not miss it until he reached his home. O'Rourke had hardly finished this statement when Oscar A. Swanson, an iron worker, of No. 1.105 Lexington avenue, presented himself before the

The two girls told their story and were instructed to step aside. ORourke, the bank clerk, was next examined, and being asked the color of the bill, responded that it was green and red. "What kind of a dollar did you lose, sonny," asked the lieutenant of the
