Inose as a Symbol Stands fur Wisdom and Silence -- Emperor Nero Was Passionately Fond of • the Origin of Sacred Fire. ,t l- ' The rose, according to legendary lore, was originally pure white, and dedicated to Diana, the , Moon God- dess, but when Venus was born its color changed, ,first becoming pink, then assuming various darker shades and tints. There is a legend belonginaf to the Jews telling how a maiden of great loveliness and purity was wrongfully accused of sin. She was condemned to be burned at the stake, but when the fires wore about to seize her a miracle occurred, for the flames turned from her and sprang out and devoured the body of her accuser, says a writer in the Outline. The maiden was untouched, and round her there was a magic eircle of white roses, fragrant and pure, while those on, the outside and where the flames had touched were turned to crimson. There is another legend connected with the rose and the birth of the Persian mystic, Zoroaster. It tells how the wise men told the king of that day that one greater than he was about to be born. The king at once gave the order that all the wo- men in the land who were about to become mothers should be slain, but the destined woman escaped, and she gave birth to Zoroaster. When the king heard of this he had the child brought to him that he might slay It with his own hand. He raised his arm to.. strike the fatal blow, when his arm was paralyzed. He was determined that the child should die, and ordered that it should be burned at the stake. Here again he was thwarted, for the flames were swept aside and the child was seen to be sleeping peace- fully on a bed of roses. The priests took a spark from this fire, and this has never :since been allowed to die out and is the sacred fire of the Persians. In Greece there is a legend of how Venus was running to Adonis she pricked her foot with the thorns of a trailing rose branch, and the blood from this wound stained the white roses a deep red, and these ever after retaianed this color in memory of the Goddess of. Love. The captive Jews in their day of deliverance took ,with them to . Da- mascus the seeds of the rose, and cul- tivated this flower so that the city was turned into a garden of roses. The Rose of Sharon grows plenti- fully on Mount Carmel, and in Jeri- cho the rose of that name flourishes, though it is sometimes known as the Resurrection Flower. This name arises from its curious property of opening when placed in water, though it may look like a withered bud and have been gathered for several months. It' is looked upon as a relic and is sought after by the pilgrims. We are told how Cleopatra had a rose carpet for her lover Mark An- thony to walk upon. This was made of closely -packed rose leaves and was over a foot thick. The Emperor Nero was passionate- ly fond of roses, and had a device by which rose leaves could be rained down upon his guests. On one occa- sion, while in a malicious mood, he sat and watched his guests as they were almost smothered in the petals of the roses; it amused him to see them fight as the layers about them became deeper and deeper and the frightened people struggled to get out. The rose as a symbol stands for Wisdom and Silence, and in their se- cret councils the Greeks always hung a rose in the room; hence the phrase "sub rosa." This practice was also prevalent in old Germany, while in the church a rose was hung before the confessional as a pledge of se- crecy and the silence of the confessor. In the occult society known as the Society of the Rose Cross, or as the Rosicrucians, they have as a symbol a single red rose in the centre of a cross.- Their members are taught the ancient wisdom and pledged to silence. The value of the rose may be re- alized when we find that in olden times the Bishop of Ely used to let Ely House for the rent of one red rose and permission' to gather twenty bushels of roses from the gardens in the summer of each year. Astrologically, the roses of the red variety are under the rule of the planet Venus, the white rose is given to the Moon, and the rose of the wild brier to Jupiter. In the language of flowers the white rose means innocence and a heart ignorant of sin. The yellow rose stands for infidelity, and the red rare means Arne isle and ardent friendship. Magnet Marvel. Have you ever seen s bar of steel floating in the air? Impossible, you will probably say; but it isn't. A new steel alloy possessing re- markable , *ewers of magnetization has been discovered by a well-known research engineer. It is cobalt steel alloyed with tungsten, and in the form of a horseshoe magnet it will raise a bar thirty . times its own weight. Spectators at a recent demonstra- tion were amazed to see a bar of alloy floating in the air. The explanation lay la a similar bar placed beneath the floating one. Magnetized with the poles opposite, the two bars were kept apart by the magnetic repulsion between them,and thee as repulsion was greater than the force of gravity, the upper bar floated/ Invented the Envelope.

(By Dorothy Dix) leekeepeeee Mainly For Women 1 ,..COUNTRY HOUSEWORI' A REJUVEN:TQ3 (By Josephine Huddlestone) I never realize how lazy and slack we city folks are apt to become until 1 spent some time in the country! 1 spent my vacation in the country in a little cottage, and the work that 1 did up there would absolutely kill mase if I had to doit in town. I'd be the most abused person in the world and would be seeking shoulders by the dozen upon which to weep the salt tears of self-pity. For instance, I've been mowing the lawn. And if you think pushing a lawn mower is child's play try it! .I've: pushed the darn thing till I was pur- ple in the face, but the marvellous physical relaxation that followed this burst of energy, added five years to my life, I honestly believe. I did the mowing in the early evening and con- tinued until driven indoors by the mosquitoes. Then a hot bath, witch hazel for the mosquito bites and I tumbled into the deepest, most health- ful sleep I've had in many moons. I split wood for the fireplace (the evenings are cool there) and in doing so took half an inch off my waitline! Aren't you jealous? I worked so hard that I ate three big heals each day and lost weight on them. Which only goes to prove that it isn't the amount of food we eat but the lack of physical work that snake us fat. We've simply go to do sufficient work to burn up the food we eat or become too fat. And when I saw the womenfolk all around me doing the same tasks day in and day out, I realize that one of the reasons we city women have to wage such a fight against excess fat is because we don't do enough work. City life, with its hundred and one conveniences, softens us, .undermines our effeciency, our health and beauty unless we substitute the doing of the family washing with some other stren- uous physical activity. Another thing that I've known for years, but one which .always comes back to me when I'm•in the country is how a complete change of place and activity give one renewed life and vigor. I spend most of my time in the city, among the super -extravagant and luxurious' atmospheres of delicate per- fumes, powders, rouges and such beauty paraphernalia. And it becomes commonplace because I see so much of it. And when this happens I hie ale away to , the country, and pull weeds out of my flower garden, wash my own undies, mow the lawn and some- times dont' wash my face all day long! Except, of course, for the cold water splashing to wake me up in the morn- ing. And the folks about think I'm a fine beauty adviser,all dirt from grubbing about. But I know that I'm changing my whole mental and physi- cal processes and stirring them into renewed life. I wish that every one of you would realize the importance of doing this If my vacation is your everyday life —then slip away, to the city once in a while and break loose. `You'll find no better beauty tonic if you search the wide world over. FALL HOUSE CLEANING (By Majorie Adams-.' After the usual belated heat of Sep- tember the cool days of October are a relief to most of us. During this month the housewifi who has been. busy with summer vacations and after- ward, school preparation will welcome the chance to clean up the house and make all the numerous little changes that seem to be essential for. the win- ter\ months. The curtains are.' probably the first things to be considered in the fall reorganization. Of course, the sum- mer drapes have to be taken down, the winter ones made or cleaned and the glass 'curtains washed and mended for winter use. Whenthe light summer hangings are removed they should be carefully examined for signs of fad- ing and wear. In some cases, the colors which have faded from constant exposure to the hot sun can be restored by simple home remedies or one of the patent fluids now on the market. If this is impossible; they may' be dyed before they are put away for the season so that they will be ready for immediate use next year. whether e The floor coverings, they � Y are to be the same or changed, will also need attention, The rugs should be cleaned, preferably with a vaccum cleaner which will remove the ingrain- ed dirt and raise the pile, then wiped with a cloth slightly dampened with atntnonia to renew the brilliance of,. the patterns WALKER STORES, LIMITED PHENOMENAL OFFERINGS YOU CAN'T OFFORD TO MISS FOR THE BALANCE OF OUR SALE LADIES' SNAPPY DRESSES Crepes, Satins, Combination 9,95 effects, etc., sizes up to 52/ ea EXTRA QUAL.

PRESSING POINTS ON THE CARE OF CLOTHING (By Wanda Barton) "Children are about as much trouble grown up as when they are little!" An excuse given for tardiness; at a "Bridge" party by a mother who had been pressing and packing a son off on vacation. The other mothers .pres- ent agreed in a passive sort of way, but we wager that every mother in her secret heart was glad it was so, and that they were really necessary to the grown-up youngsters and had not lost their jobs, sonietimes hardly "thank you" tasks, yet they are econ- omically worth while. The well-groomed youngl man can- not be so without help. And today to be well dressed is alntost a neces- sity to thei business man. Many rea- sons may be cited to prove the .fact. For instance, it is =economy to have several busintss suits, two days wear then two or more days rest for press- ing,n givingt airing and the material a chance to rest and return to its nor- mal weave, Experts do not believe in brushing material, but in shaking, wiping with a clean flannel cloth and dusting (with the nap) with a very soft hair brush. Cleaning should be done by an expert when needed, I•Iangitrg continuously on frames stret- Shoes that slip at the ba'clt should be treated as follows:. Take a piece of garter elastic about six inches long and sew it inside the back of the shoe, gradually tapering it off to the instep each side. A piece of velvet glued on the inside of the back of the shoe will sometime4 prevent slipping. Dandruff, as you know, is very in- jurious to the hair. Directly it is not- iced, a suitable lotion should be ap- plied and special care taken to see that the scalp is absolutely clean. The white of an egg beaten u. p with.a tea- spoonful of spirits of wine has been. found a satisfactory. lotion. There are four methods of counter- acting hard water. The first is the professional Method, • which uses a manufactured lotion, the second is by using borax, one teaspoonful to a bas- in of water; third is 'benzoin,an east- ly obtained product, and the fourth is oatmeal. In using oatmeal use the coarse meat and make it, up into tit- tle bags of double mesh and squeeze into the water until it becomes milky in appearance: Benzoin is added di- rectly to the water, as is borax and the other softenr.
