PAGE TWO THBO’II LORiITTE Th* suggestion made in these col umns tun! Augusta Accept lix wis taria as her municipal flower ha.- met with auch universal Interest that now we are asked by many why It would not be an excellent Idea for our city to go Just a step further In this direction and adopt a flower for each month In the year, at is done In Japan. A study of this subject shows the remarkable copctdence that the floral Calendar of the little Island across the Sea might also he the floral calendar for Augusta, where the climate seems to be very much the same and where our people love flower and cultivate them with something of the same as- j suldlty and skill displayed by the j Japanese. The floral calendar, as given by a visitor to Japan, who knows well all the cußtoni* of that flower-loving peo- j pie will readily show what are the possibilities for Augusta In the Bame direction: To January belongs the pine, and It* sovereign branches play a promi nent part In the New Year s decora t|on«, symbollug life and continued pros pertly. The beautiful whits blossoms of the plum tree belong to February and naturally suggest purity, while the del leal* pink, peach bloom Is assigned to March. April claims for Its own the cherry blossom, which l» a general favorite In the Islands, and the clustering blue flower# of the wistaria belong to May. The month following Is ded tcated to the strength and manly beau ty of the youth, and this Is represent «d by the wonderful iris flower. The fragrant white Illy is allotted to July, and In August the flamlug hibiscus roaches Its prime. September Is associated with the exquisite azalea, and In the next month comes the national flower of Japan, the chrysanthemum . This popular flower has a plnce In the coat of arms of tbs Imperial family. The maple leaf, with It* various flats of wonderful autumn coloring, Is the proper decoration for November, and In the last monlh of the year, w« find tbo beautiful rosellkn cam el I a which often blooms In the gar dens in the midst of snow In April we might exchange the cherry blossom for tlm rose, but no other alteration seidns necessary except possibly the adopting of the golden rod In place of the hibiscus for Aupgust. In all this talk and display of dress In the Easter parade, it is interesting to note iiiat many of the nutans of modern dress generally regarded us products of caprice or accident or of th* Invention of tailor or milliner, are trac'-able >o primitive forms, and that fashion In costume Is the result of a process In evolution In which old Ideal continually crop out The ear liest form of drees seems to lmve been the shawl or wrapper, and fringe* dute back to (ho tlrsl loom. The )u»t band I* traced to the original I>.stoning of the cloth headdroß#. Puttees are as old ns Myccnea. llut a mystery yet unexplained Is the sow ing of the buttons oil the right hand side of a mop's coat, and the left hand side of n woman a. At the recent ‘'Peace Festival of Song" held at Carnegie llall, Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister to this country objected to the singing of "Dixie" on the plea that It was out of pine ut a peace coulsrsnou because It was th<‘ war song of the South. Mr Harrison Aldrich, Secretary of tho Na tional Song Society, commenting upon the Chinese Minister’s criticism, said that lie thought he was quite right and stated that lie was surprised that more people In ths country did not realise that the sooner we discarded wa* songs and adopt a national uu them possessing patriotic words with out dwelling on warlike subjects, tlm sooner will It# mission of peace and brotherly love be accomplished. Hp went oil to toll how this was the tee son that his Society was Influenced to adoptV'Our Own United States" as a fitting hong for our national anthem. This reminds us that Collier's ha* been waging a fierce warfare against *The Star Spangled Banner" which so many Of the loyal Southerners do ellne to honor by standing up when it Is played or sung. It say# iu part; "The Star-Spangled l'unner," ns a literary production. Is something worse than mediocre. The foe'.< "haughty host ” deserves oblivion along with "vaunt(ugly swore,'* "hire ling ami alave," and "foul steps pol lution." The day for untruth and In sult In the guts* of national honor I* past The soldiers referred to were no more deserving of these cheap In sults than tho American armies were. War is unusually a calamity in which •on rift ton. principle, and sacrifice are on both sides. The other two popular patriotic songs are at least harmless. although iu word and thought they are somethin! sho-t of masterly. “Days "I youth still lightly sparkle, On the brow so queenly fair. Yet what natfle In song or story Can today with thee compare? Those line# would be fairly credit able to an intelligent pupil in the upper grammar grades.

There was a dear little lady of about four years old who hung out of a window perilously near the ► dge and held up to the bright morn ing sun her new pride parasol. She had In all probability been told that she could not go out yet, or possibly that the wonderful new parasol must be kept for the bright glory of the Easter sun, so she was trying it all by herself. The picture she made, framed in the dull casement of the window of the old brick house, hei mnny curls catching the light as it filtered down through her new para sol made a most bewitching picture. The other windows with their dis plays of wares for sale, seem sordid after this winsome picture of living childhood, this marry little maiden who all unconsciously gave joy to (he hearts of all passersby and who herself got so much joy out of the pretty little parasol that was to be the crowning glory of her Easier dress.
