SOME WOMEN ARE SO LIKE LOVELY FLOWERS Camellias Remind Winifred Black of a Woman She Knows —a Slender, Cold Beauty—and There’s the Carna tion Girl, All Laughter and Quick Tears By WINIFRED BLACK Yesterday she came to see me, the calm lady who never gets excited about anything. And she held in her hands the prettiest thing—I could hardly believe it was true. It was a little basket of camellias—and some of them were rose colored, some were pure white and one or two were of a lovely shell pink. They were almost too perfect and too beautiful to be true. They lay in a little woven basket that came from Spain—and they were in a net of shining green leaves that were just too perfect to be leaves at all. “Isn't it a pity,” said one who saw the lovely basket. “Isn’t it a pity these beautiful, perfect flowers have no perfume.” But I did not agree with that. No, I did not agree at all. What kind of a perfume could a camellia have any how? It could not be spicy like a carnation; it could not smell of the sun and the dew like a rose. It wouldn’t do for it to have a perfume like the WINIFRED BLACK strange lily of the valley which looks so delicate—one stalk of which would fill a good size room with a strange, spicy, exotic perfume that is always a sort of shock—like hearing a baby swear. No, I shouldn’t like camellias to have a perfume. They wouldn’t be so perfect and so strange and so artificial—and - - . ■ ^ m * Traders of Wives Sans Divorce Are Given Ten Months Lincoln, Neb., April 20.—</p>— The Bennet, Neb., wife traders— Otto Slade end Horace Reed have been sentenced to ten months in jail, despite the plea that their •wives faced destitution if deprived of their support.

Greenville, Miss.—“I am a night Watchman, and so when I sleep in daytime, my habits are a little dif ferent than If I slept at night,” says Mr. J. J. Cox, of 703 Central Ave nue, this city. “If I get constipated, and wake up in the afternoon with a head ache or indigestion, I have found that Black-Draught Is very good for my complaint. I have used Black Draught whenever I have needed a medicine of the kind for the last night or ten years. “Our little son had a bad spell cf Indigestion. It was terrible to see him so pale and short of breath. His skin was splotched with dark spots. He would play a little, and then come in and lie around the house, just worn out. “So, one day we decided to give him Black-Draught. I gave him mall doses after every meaL After & week or so he began to improve, Ills complexion cleared up, and he quit having those bad spells of in digestion. Now he is well and etrong.” In 25-cent packages containing 25 doses. Sold everywhere. ♦after all that's just what you want a camellia to be. I know a woman who always re minds me of a camellia. She is tall and slender and dark and her skin is as white as snow and as clear as wax. The first time that I saw her she was dressed in rose pink tulle and if she didn't look exactly like a camellia. She is lovely at a party, she is beautiful at dinner, in some gorge ous robe brought from who knows where, to enhance her cold beauty. And when she sits in her box at the opera every opera glass in the house is fixed on her. She is, they tell me, a fine wom an—honest-hearted, just-minded. I know a man who wants to marry the camellia woman. He's crazy about her. He wants to bring her into his life and set her in his heart—like a bejeweled saint in a niche. I do hope the camellia woman will have sense enough to say no to the man I know. He is generous, impulsive, quick witted, quick-tempered and warm hearted. I’m afraid the cold beauty of the camellia would not comfort him much in the disappointment—and disillusionment of living, j Now, there’s a nice rosy, spicy little carnation—ail laughter and quick tears, all love and anger and forgiveness, and warm closer com panionship—I do hope he will choose the carnation girl after all, and let the camellia bloom on for the public admiration of such as fancy her cold loveliness. The carnation pink for me, t'oung man—and for you too, if you have a grain of sense. Day In Congress (By The Associated Press) Saturday: Senate is in adjournment.
