Some were toa fancy and some plain, and so we came borne hatless. But there is one bat we know ai that nover changes, The la- dies who Wear At wouldn't trade Sbe'll plant it wbere the morning .sunlight falîs, And watch the small leaves .uncuri and spread Their, littie eager fingers to the ligbt; Add mulch and fertilizer ta the bed, Set up a lattice, train the tiny shoots, Keep the saili dean and maist araund the roats. And wben it blooms, no rase in ail the world Will be as lavely as ber tiny one, No fragrance hall sa sweet, na leaves 50 green.

Ecister Thank-of fering Sunday evening, April 16, at St. Paul's United Church the W.M.S. beld their Easter Thank- offering service. The meeting was opened by the minister Rev. H. A. Turner. President, Mrs. W. H. Carruthers read the scripture lessan, followed witb prayer by the minister. Mrs. Carruthers introduced the speaker, Mrs. F. W. K. Harris, president ai the Bay ai Quinte Conference Branch. She based ber remarks an the humble be- ginning af the W.M.S. la 1825 la Princetown, Prince Edward Is- land, wbich was then known as the "Female Society For The Proclamation ai the Gospel." This was the beginning ai the W.M.S. ia any British Colany. Montreal was the next centre, and there it was known as a "Ladies' Society". Mrs. Harris also spoke af scbool hames wbere children from re- mate districts reside in order ta receive an education and af Or- iental Homes ai Refuge la Vic- toria, B.C. Mrs. Harris referred ta Yukon trek-how the prospec- tors would have suffered greatly without the aid ai the missionary bospitals. This very interesting and informative address was con- cluded witb an urgent caîl for nurses, doctors and ministers ta the mission field. Speciai music by the choir add- ed much ta the service; also the beautiful floral baskets placed in the church by the f amily ai the late Mr. James Welsh.

Ta' right, you guessed It. We are talkinIg -ai the littie black straw bonnet ai the Salvation Krey lassies. Here's a little of the bistory of the familiar bonnet known and respected by Canadian soldiers in two waorld wars. Mrs. Catherine Booth, wiis af the Army'u found- er, General William Booth, de- signed the small bonnet in 1879 with the idea o! a universal head- wear which would take the mind ai Salvation Army women from fashions and irilîs. Aiter that, it grew until it was almost the zize ai a coal-scuttie at the turn ai the century. Now the straw bonnet la back ta a size more easily managed on windy street corners. But the de- sign hasn't changed nor bas thé' dévotion ai its wearers altered. The straw la fine and aturdy, formed on a specially deslgned block. The sîlks which. trlm it [are made ln Switzerland and the red and gald band with the words "The Salvation Army" is woýVen in fine iast-dyed .silks which will stand the onslaught ai any kind ai weatber. The nicest tbing about an Army bonnet is the fact that it doesn't rnatter whether the face is long or short; wide or narrow. It lends a charm al ai its own ta any af its wearers. FASHIONS IN THE WANT ADS A lady who prided herseli on ber thrift neyer threw out any- thing that couid be sold. One ai ber iriends purchased one af ber well-worn dinner gowns. Not long aiter this transaction, the thrifty ane was in need ai a gown ta attend ber husband's annual company dinner. Looking thraugh the want ada, she saw a gawn ad- vertised that was her size and f a- varite color. As the dininer was that evening, she bad it sent im- mediately C.O.D. It was the ane she bad Èold ber friend, alightly the worse for its travels, and.so ber problemn rernained a prob- lem.

Arrangement of Flowers Has A Real History Fundamentals of flower ar- rangement, one of the most an- dient and at the same Urne the moat modern arts bas been dis- cussed this past month in the De- trait News. The origin of this art of flower arrangement was in India and not in Japan as most people believe. The flowers were placed as a tribute before the shrine of Bud- dba. Later ..Quddbist priests brougbt the custom in China where schaols were established prlmarily to -teach this practice. Wben Buddhism was introduc- ed in Japan in 552, they too used flowers in religlous rites. It was the Japanese wba began ta sim- plify the masses 'of flowers ta conform tô their idea of "Furyu." wbicb is "the love of the peace of nature." Very, philosophic in their way of thinking and life, the Japanese, saw a meaning in branches that were twisted and old instead of straight and luxuriant. To them, the frailty engendered tend erness instead of the desire of possession or dominance which anything perfect arouses. Where no covet- ousness exists, there is the en- jayment ai beauty born af pence. Peaceful Living Aiter the l5th century, Japan- ese flower arrangements reflected the appreciation of peaceful liv- ing and were used in connection with their tea ceremony. The first man who encouraged "Furyu" was Ashikaga Shogun (Shogun being a military govern- ar's titie). He built the first tea bouse, wbich was dedicated ta Buddha for the purpose ai family worsbip. Abaut 1478 Ashikago Yoshimasa, the eigbt Shogun built the Ginkakuji Temple or "Silver Pav- ilion" as it was called. This temple is said ta be the birthplace af Japanese ilawer arrangement. The "Tokonoma" or alcove was the porimary feature ai a Japanese home which had neither table nar chair. In this alcove, flowers ia ing was taken by members ai the C.GIT. and dedicated by the minister; followed by the bene- diction. a vbse and a picture scroll were displayed.. Orlginally the Tokonc 's for religiaus exercîses came the family altar, wi., _ image ai Buddha was placed, sur- rounding garden was laid out in sucb a way, that it could be seen from Tokonoma. But gradually religious em- phasis was bast, and the alcove became the local spot where guests were invited ta sit and be entertained, with the pictures and ibowers arranged within it. The term "Ikebana" was ap- plied ta the floral art ai Japan in the early part af the l9th cen- tury and the iorm o! the art bas varied with every age. Ia the be- ginning, I"Nagine" or the "thrown - l" style, was popular because ai its simplicity. Cluttered Deslgn This was followed by "Rikk- wa," a standing arrangement, of- ten cluttered la an attempt ta do a complete garden in miniature. The next phrase was "Ton- chin-yin" (heaven - eartb - man). Heavon was placed in the.middlo ai the base,'man on one side, and earth in iront ai the heaven branches ta make a triangle. Favorite materials were cyp- ross, Scotch broom, vaniaus types af willow and carpus chinensis. Although much ai Japanese cul- ture is borrowed from China, they differ greatly ia their taste for flowers. Chinese, as a rule, love tre peanies, horbaciaus peonies, rases and orchids, ah aof which are strongly perfumed and clearly outlined. Tho Japanese are fond ai cherry, bellflower, miscanthus, bush claver and pampas grass. Foresters Organize Baseball Lge. With Wes. Richards, Pres.
