We have theca from the pages of myth ological lore, where we find the story of Venus and Adonis. Adonis was a mortal so fine and handsome that Venus herself was cap tivated by his manly charms. Leav ing her Olympic heights to bear him company, she roamed the woods with him, and together they hunted ani mals. Always, however. Venus charged Adonis to beware of the wolf and the boar and thiF.bear. “Be brave toward the timid," she told him; “courage against the coura geous is not safe. Beware how you expose yourself and put my happiness at stake. Attack not the beauty that nature has armed with weapons. Your youth and the beauty that Charms Venus will not touch the hearts of lions and bristly boars!” Adonis, however, was too brave and noble to beed this advice At his first opportunity he wounded with his j spear a wild boar, and the animal, : thrusting out the weapon, ^aped up- j on him and buried its iusks in his side, taking »hls life. f Venus, aloft in Jier chariot, heard the groans of I her beloved and hurried to the earth. ! Seeing his lifo'esa form bathed in* [ blood she was beside herself with grief, and there madeYOis vow: “The spectacle of your death, my Adonis, and of my lamentation, shall j be annually renewed. Your - blood ahull he changed into a flower.” Special Prices to Students and Teachers On Wardrobe and Dress Trunks 0 Hat Boxes - Hand Bags Week-End Cases * i i.
