A fairy princess will soon wave her wand and the spring fashion parade in flowerland will begin. Mother Na- ture is the world's best artist in th ar- raalgement of colors. She makes ne mistakes. Her children are beautiful- ly gowned in robes that only the fairies can produce. The waxlike little snowdrops are he procession n eat t to lead P almost ready and following them will come the cro- cus and with suits of white, blue aryl yellow. The Hyacinth, stately and sweet in rich perfumed gown of vel- vety blue, pink purple, yellow and white have heard the call, and are preparing to join the parade. The dancing yellow daffodils can hardly wait to get in line. They nod their pretty heads and bow and smile with demure grace as they pass. Gorgeous and wonderful are the tulip band;. There will be hosts of them in bril- liant red with strips of gold and many other colors that will be the admiration of all. The parade will go on and on. In Flowerland the pag- eant never ceases from April until November. -• Mother Nature has provided an or- chestra of birds, bees, frogs and crickets to assist, and they, too, will charm us daily. Old favorites sometimes crowded out by newer and larger creations will have a place in the flower parade and be more popular than ever—the beloved flowers of our childhood, violets, lily -of -the -valley, pansies, lil- acs, old fashoned sweet-smelling roses, peonies and mignonette. More beautiful and showy perhaps are the newer styles in flowers that have joined the parade, but they lack the sweetness, the demure grace the fragrance and sentiment of the old favorites, No child longing for Christmas, no small. boy waiting for a circus, ever had more thrills of impatience than some of us who are waiting for the fashion parade in Flower - land. TO PROTECT WiLD LINE. Society for the Preservation of Fauna In the Empire. "Locarno" for the protection of wild animals has been suggested by the Belgian ambassador to Great Britain. The occasion was a meeting of a society which is handicapped with a long name—the Society for the Pre- servation of Fauna in the Empire. It is, in simpler words, a society' for the Retention of Animals, and its objects are to prevent the avarice of mu- seums, hunters, and collectors from exterminating wild beasts in their na- tive haunts. Sir Francis Newton spoke of the depletion of elephant herds by poach- ers, and pointed out that the danger lies in the lack of combined game laws between the controlling African Powers. The society, working with kindred societies in foreign countries, is en- deavoring to bring about a uniform veto upon the selling of illegally shot animals between ;he Imperial South African, Belgian, and Portuguese Governments, which would be a great step for the preservation of almost dying species. Dr. Derseheld, the I3eigian secre- tary of the International Society for the Protection of Nature, for exam- ple, doubted if there were more than 500 gorillas alive In the great siretclses of the Congo. He told of the 6,000 square miles of sanctuary for wild nature which the Belgian Government, through King Albert's initiative, has now established near Lake Kivu. /anted We pay Highest Cash Price for Cream. 1 cent per 1b.
