In England the Lilac Is Considered
Fatal to Love Affairs. .
There are' many stiiieiWltlotts fancies

is fatal to love affairs.
Though tlie m-ent is ro awet and
lilac tints are so fix-sh and lscoiiiiiig,
country cirls rarely wear this flower
as a buttonhole, "She who wears lilae
will never wear a wedding ring. runs

Is pal for dearly by solitary spiiister

lilac bush jw-vercly alone. 1 ,
