The most remarkable feature of the display was the wealth of orchids. Where you have something like $375,~ 000 worth of these fantastic flowers massed together, you are bound to find something rare, weird, or wonâ€" derfully beautiful. Well known growers had brought plants from all parts of England, and ,at the end of the three days' floral ‘carnival they Were able to congratuâ€" late themselves upon having done a. record amount of business. One of the largest growers present stated that the orchid is growing more popular every year, and that owing to the comparatively rarity of the plants prices are always rising. Plants listed at twenty guineas ten years ago are worth fifty guineas to- day.

Mrs. Compton loaked at her- old friend with a slightly defiant gaze. “So you heard I'd married into a peculiar family," she said, slowly. "Well, I won’t deny but what the Comptons have got some ways that aren’t just like everybody's else. But my husband is just about the same as other folks most 0' the time." The old friend gave her the smile of one who is open to conviction, but said nothing. “He’s got one little peculiarity,” said Mrs. Compton, moved to con- fidence by the smile. “It’s known in the family, but I don’t speak of it outside; however, you being an old school friend and living way out West, I feel diflerent." The smile grew more encouraging and sympathetic. “It’s nothing that worries meâ€"not really," said Mrs. Compton, hastily. “It’s just a little habit Silas has got into. When he’s riled, instead of saying much, he goes up to the gar- rot and takes everything out of my old piece bag, and puts it on over his head. and sits there till he feels better. I suppose some folks would call that a kind of a peculiarity, but I never take any notice of it, only I tell him he's got to put the pieces back. and he does." ~ 2..<Ir;.,-1;;uza:i-.rc3v,xa»:..
