In the hurly burly days of rush anj crush, people apparently have thrown aslJe the simple pretty sentiments that attached to such things as flowers. The language of flowers, for Instance, Is something which, few folk of today profess to know any more. without regard to the hidden mes sages that blossoms carry, ranging fromwarnlngs-ofdanger-tf-ten(ierrt affection, it is now the practice to order up a gorgeous bouquet, of brll Uant blooms, and without regard to their meanings, forward the gift from the flower shop the mesenger,. n lad on a screeching, smoky, motorcycle. -In grandmother's cedar chest, scented with faintest suggestion of old lav ender, the resting place of her' weJdlng gown, me iirsi paDy s ciomes, ine uni form that grandfather wore in the' war, and other things around which cling sweet and sorrowful memories, Is found a dried, withered rose. The giver is long since Jead, but the bloasom, its petals torn, and color gone still holds for her the; message of love It bore In days of yesterday when grandfather woed and wort her. In those days, the language 'of flow ers was known by every .youth and malJ, and many were the courtship, carried' on before the very eyes of dis approving parents, simply through pre sentations of flowers. It la a pretty practice, and: something which throws around Courtship days something ' as eluslvely sweet as the faint lavender scents in grandmother's cedar chest. - And there are many who no doubt would learn the language of flowers, If they only knew where they could be taught There Is no need for them to search further. Among the many fea tures of the New Modern Illustrated Dictionary, which The Journal la giving away to Its readers In exchange for six coupons from consecutive issues of the paper and a small cash bonus, is page devoted to the language of flow ers. The meaning of everything from Arbor Vltae to Witch Haiel, Is ex plained and also the various combina tions of blooms, vines and leaves. But the Language of flowers Is only one of the smaller Teaturcs of the dic tionary, which contains 1300 pages of print, and Illustrations in colors.
