Where is London Pride? London Friths seems to have fallen on evil days. Once a plant greatly es- teemed, few tire now so poor in flowers as to need• to payit reverearce. In cid. fa,6hioned gardens it had ,a assure place; it was in Shakespeare's garden. It may occasionally be'tound deemed, ea -n garcleans,-but for the most' part it has had to yield place to sdtowded blooms. It is becoming a rase plaint, so. after has it bean grubbed up and cast out. • The names by which London Pride hoe been known show how intimately it was assiooiated with the gardens of a former time. "None 'so Pretty" or. "Nancy Pretty" were among its old- iaehi•oned•oountt'y names in datys when it woe. esteemed, In Devonshire itt ue,e,d to be caned "Garden Gates," the full miffs being "Rigs' me; dove, at the Garden Gate." The name 'seems to so suggest its place in 'garden ,econ- omy. It was the keeper of the gate, 'Phere it rooted itself, at the place Of entrance ant exit. When words fatter - ed, a flower with such, a name was of timely help. The weary fact of such a name eltows 'that it must have. been friend everywhere.- Nantes ofthat kind do:net grow in a.diey., Theyre is not a little romance in therm.

For many generations lead continued to be used as a protective package for all fine quality teas. Then the modern metal, Aluminum, was introduced. But during war -time and later, paper bags and paper. boxes were largely used and have held sway ever' - since, t In our 30 years experience putting up' Red Rose Tea we have used all these containers and each has, some particular merit. But careful tests over a long period prove that ' Alulninum is by far the best container that has yet been found, and paper packages of every kind the poorest.,When in contact with dampness paper \ absorbs oisture which soon affects the quality of the, tea, and in some instances completely spoils it. Having found the paper package unreliable and uncertain, we have again adopted the Aluminum package which we used years ago. For we know now that Aluminum can be better depended upon than any other. Unlike paper, Aluminum does not absorb moisture. - It preserves all the :ori inal flavor and strength. g g . So now.and in'the future Red Rose Tea will be packed in the Aluminum package, as it was in years gone by. T. H.

The great novel, on the other hand, makes the Charaoters stand out as ii. they were sculptured. , . Jane Austeu to :to me the greatest Wonder amongst novel writers. I do not mean that she is the greatest novel writer, but she seems to me the greatest won- der. Imagirte,)f you were to instruct an author or an authoress to write a _novel under the i•iimitations within which Jaue Austen writes! Supposing you wee_ to say, "Now, you must vette a novel, but you must have no heroes ,or heroines in the accepted sense of the word. You may have. naval of- ficers, but they must always be en leave or on land, never on active see - these. . . You may of oourae, have love, but it must be so carefully hand. led that very often tt seems to get lit- tle above the temperature ole l4king,' With all those limitations you are 'to write, not only one novel, brut several, which, not merely by popular apprecia- tion but by the common consent of the greatest, cri•tles the greatest literary minds of the generations whish suo Geed you, shall be classed among the first rank of the novels written in your language in 3our'couutly." Of meta% 1t is possible to say •that Jane Austen achieves this, though her. materials, ale so slight because the art is so great. Pe•rlraps, however, so long as the ma, tei•ials are those of humus nature, they. are not slight. Another class of novel depending not so much for interest upon development or' character is that of adventure, novels of the Homeric kind, such as those of .Duniaa, for instssce—"Monts orietlo" and. the whole series of "The Three Musketeers."
