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

ago, when tea was first
CENTURIES introduced to the English Nobility,
y9
the precious leaves—then almost priceless
—were packed in sealed lead containers..
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.

Classes of Novels.
Next`v "
to pa•et1, , I put novels—the
great novels of elraraoter, They must
be long to be great. It needs a long
book to present a character so that it,
can be really grasped and understood:
Short sto`iee•, however, vivid their
presentation of character, are some-
thing • like a brilliant pen -anti -ink
sketch. 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." They give a plea-
