"I came," said the young man, after he had been introduced to Beatrice, "to see your flowers and to—" His eyes fell upon the rose, and with a half -articulated expression of wonder he bent above it, "Tell me," he tried,' "what variety of rose is this?" "Well, I haven't named it yet," answered Beatrice, blushing a little. "I've been working over it for two years, and it only bloomed this morn- ing." "You don't mean that this is a new variety which you yourself have bred?" Beatrice nodded. "Grandfather's bees suggested it to me, long ago; and I'' got books, and—" "But," the young man interrupted, "this is a wonderful thing! I never saw so exquisite a rose—and you have worked it out by yourself!" "Well, not really by myself,. I've had grandfather's help, and the view from the pasture gate, and the flowers themselves are an inspiration:" The young man looked about the garden. "Why, the place is full of new var- iety," he exclaimed, and he hurried from one gorgeous bed ` to .another. Then he turned to Grandfather Ed- gren, who was following in an ecstasy of delight, "Why, this is marvelous! Your daughter is a genius. She has a fortune right here in the garden. This rose alone is worth the price of the entire farm!" The old man shook his head. "She doesn't care for the:: money; but I wanted to see if all her work was worth while." "Worth 'while!"r cried the young man. "Is the work of a painter or a sculptor worth while" Grandfather Edgren's eyes filled. "I wish her mother, were here," he said.

GOOD 'T'ASTE AND PICTURES There is an old saying that the clothes make the man; -even rnore•true is it that the pictures make the room, Anyone who wishes to have an at. tractiveroom should give the most 'c'areful attention to the pictures; the_ subjects', the frames and how the pic- tures are hung. She'should choose frames that bar- , monize with the room, and that bring out the virtues in the pictures them. selves. A sepia print, for example, may bo framed close up in a wide, flat moulding, tinted dull green or soft brown, or it may be mounted on a brown mat and framed in dark brown or in full gold. if the picture is an etch- ing, it may be mounted on a white or a cream -colored mat and framed in a narrow gilt moulding,. Select the style that is best suited to- the room, Close framing—that is', without a,mat--fete the picture blend well with a warm- toned, dark wall; so does a brown mat and a dark gilt moulding. On a light- colored wall, however, such frames are not pleasing. The light-colored wall requires a light -toned mat and a gilt or plain oak moulding. Black -and -white pictures should sel- dom be framed in brown or gold, but should be mounted on mats of white or gray and framed in narrow mouldings finished in dull black, olive or gray of a shade darker than the neat. But if- -the subject is strong in treatment, close. framing,,_with a flat, wide mould- ing of gray or dull green, is effective. Since close framing gives a picture a• heavy look, It should be used only for large, important pictures. Small pic- tures book best mounted on mets. Avoid polished mouldings; the best finish is a dull surface of the desired color, through which the grain: of the wood shows. Frame In Harmony. In choosing a frame for a picture in full colors remember that -the color 'of the frame must either harmonize 'with. the colors ie the picture or be directly complimentary_ to them. Complemen- tary colors are effective if the colors of the picture are vigorous,, but:' the. first plan is the easier to follow. For most water colors and color prints of any kind use simple gilt. frames and fairly wide white or cream - colored mats. But if the pictures are strong in color, asi'mast reproductions from oil paintings are, gold mats,: or close, flat, gold frames are pleasing. For the gold frames useplain oak fin- ished in dull gold or bronze; 'or,' if you prefer, choose a,'design that has simple, slightly raised border or mould- ing round the outer edge. In very case avoid heavy ornamentation - An oil painting in rich, heavy colors usually looks best in a deep gold frame of rich design. The sharp glitter of the gold should .Ile : mellowed, so that the tone of the frame' will harmonize with that of the painting. ` Such pic- tures and frames' should. be hung on walls that are subdued in tone and col- or. ` Oil paintings :done -in a high key —a treatment characteristic of much modern landscape, work—Must be simply framed. use wide, flat mould- ings or narrow ones—ornamented or not—and hang the pictures on light - toned walls in a room that is brighti furnished.' Above all no frame should draw the eye away from the picture. It should supplement, not command, Proper Spacing important. When you hang pictures remember that much ;depends on proper spacing. Each picture should be large enough for the space allotted to it, but not so large as, to appear crowded. If both large and small pictures are to be hung on the same .wall, it is a good plan to place a large one In the centre .of each clear space and then group the smaller works on either side of it. A large upright composition looks well between two -smaller:oblong subjects, or vice versa, if the frames and colors of all of them harmonize. It is hard to arrange small pictures with unity of :effect; the best, way. is to select those that in color' and framing look well together and then, hang them in a group, with only a little space be- tween every two. In that way you cans,- use an,,use your taste in arranging in an in- teresting mannerthe pictures of.vari- ousr sizes and proportions. A sym- metrical balance of the groups is more effective than a formal arrangement.- Unless rrangement.-Unless there is some reason for do- ing otherwise—as, for example,. there is in hanging pictures along a .stair- way--keep tair way:keep either the top or the bot- tozn edges ofall the frames on a line. In a single row line up the lower edges; in a double row line upthe'up- per. edges".a:nd put the larger pictuees in the top r&w. Do not hang black -and -white pic- tures on the same wall with colored pictures ; you will get, tha best:results if you hang certain kinds of pictures in diff er at ,•c orns, placing each cola lection the room that is -best suited to it in tone, color aid furnishing. Do not let the frames' tilt far for- ward, or the pictures will 'lose In ef- fect, Unless the work is small e to suspend by a pin hook or a wire, use separate wires and two' pic- ture hooks. That gives a better ap- pearance, and there is less. chance 'of • the pictures being tilted, sidewise.
