PUNT TRRES TO THEIR MEMORY Trees to keep green the memory of tiro flower of young manhood who made the supreme sacrifice in the World Wai, is a memorial that is being advocated hy stale governors and other officials a? well as patriotic organizations of various -aovts throughout the country. In tile past we have remembered our heroic dead by erecting shufts of polished marble, enduring bronze and everlasting granite. iWe have written books and poems to keep their memory green and the sparkling fountain hps told the story of their devotion and sacrifice. rtut noue of these nre more beautiful and appropriate than a living memorial ? a victory oak or a tall-waving pine ? wav ing its everlasting green and sighiug a requiem in honor of the brave lads Who are sleeping beneath the lilies and poppies of France, or iu the soil of America that they gave their liven to defend. A flowering tree would also be suitable ? for instance the myrtle ap famed iu m>ng and story. It would blow fcta pink blossoms lAnully in mtmorj or the fresh young live* thai have gone OUt to make this boautiful country a place iu wblch we lore to live. And there are living heroea ? tbe boya who have come out of tbe struggle alive and ?rt' coming home to enjoy tbe freedom of tbe Und they so gallantly defeuded. What finer tribute can be* paid theiri than to plant a living tree in their bonorT A tr?*e to live through the coming yeara uud. tell future generations of their brave deed* and achievement*. . Tbe wrltar suggested this at the laat Civie league meeting and she would go further and miggefft that the two patriotic organ!* sationa the Hobkirk llif) Chapter D. A. H. aud the John I>. Kennedy Chapter II. I). t\ unite with the Civic league in making this dream come true. "We believe that there is do more beautiful method of commemorating tbe deeAs of heroism 6t our soldier* mm) nailor* in the great war than by erecting to their memory a memorial which will remain green aud flourinhing for scores of yeara, and be a constant reminder by tbe re turn of cach revival #f the fresh mem ory of the one in whose honor it has been planted4', nays Mr. Robt. S. Couklin, eoinmiHHioner of Forestry for Pennsyl vania. Joyce 'Kilmer, the soldier poet who gave hia life in France wrote the following beautiful lines of "Tbe Tree" : (I think that I shall never see A poem Ibvely* aa m tree* A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowering breast A tree that looks at Qod all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray ; A tree thjQi may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose . bosom anow baa lain ; Who intimately lives with rain.

Many novel styles, of courso that oould not be worn about town are dhown, but the discretion of the ayerage woman may bo Telied^ajL sufficiently to warrant her correct choice. ?One of the shops is showing a dainty little hat developed in raspberry-dotted dimity? with a parasol to match* -The crowtOof the hat is slightly shirred and a coy little rose of raspberry-colored satin rests confidently ^n the brim over the right eye. The handle of the parasol is ivory and the mate of the satin rose on the hat is vainly pursuing its o^mr ?pa a ion. for it is stopped abruptly abovyt two-thirds of the way up the handlo by a hand-painted ring of ivory.
