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.
Poems arc made by fooln like me
Hut only Ood can spake a tree.

Overdress For Ladle*
It is safe to nay that any design which
h
is copied from the models now will be
very smart next summer. Therefore,
to stock up now would be far more dU
breet than rushing, as the majority will
he, in the hot summer days. 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. This at
tractive, sot can well be imagined sbpd-..

who was just made for raspberry-dotted
