the noontime sun, her blue eyes 

 sweetly serious as she listened to the 

 white-haired lady at her side. 



When they reached Lewis the little 

 old lady shook a playful finger at him 

 as she twinkled, "Did you hear that 

 sermon, young man? Don't wait until 

 people are dead to bring them flowers. 

 Your sweetheart will need them all her 

 life; flowers of tenderness and kind- 

 ness as well as roses that match her 

 cheeks and forget-me-nots to match 

 her eyes." Then she had chuckled at 

 the young man's embarrassed face and 

 the young girl's blushes as she walked 

 away. 



"Say it with flowers." How long had 

 it been since he had brought Bella any 

 of her beloved carnations? How long 

 since he had heard her delighted cries 

 as she buried her face in heart-refresh- 

 ing roses? 



Lewis sighed and came back to the 

 present. He had lost his taste for the 

 show and glanced idly around him. He 

 saw women in furs with big bunches of 

 violets, girls in silk with arbutus 

 tucked In their coats, women with 

 white hands and flashing jewels, girls 

 with sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks. 



"Bella is as pretty as any of them," 

 he thought with pride. "In spite of her 

 hard work she has kept her hands 

 white and her hair lovely and when 

 she's dressed up she looks good enough 

 to go anywhere." 



"Say it with flowers." Lewis stirred 

 restlessly as he thought of his deser- 

 tion that afternoon, the many nights 

 that business had kept him working 

 late and the Sundays he had been 

 called away, leaving lonely hours for 

 his wife and the children. 



"Say it with flowers," 



"Yes, I will," he said half aloud as 

 he rose and left the building. Straight 

 to his former favorite florist he 

 hurried, his quick, decided step ring- 

 ing on the pavement as if he was go- 

 ing to meet his sweetheart. He picked 

 out a dozen carnations, pure white and 

 rose-pink, her old favorites as he re- 

 membered tenderly. 



He ran up the steps whistling 

 cheerily and let himself in, calling his 

 wife's name boyishly. 



"Oh, you're home nic6 and early. " 

 cried Bella in pleased surprise as she 

 hurried to greet him. 



Lewis waited until she was almost In 

 front of him and then brought the 

 flowers from behind his back. 



"Lewis, dear!" Bella exclaimed with 

 shining eyes and radiant face. "What 

 a treat! I haven't seen anything so 

 lovely for years." 



The tears came to her eyes as she 

 threw her arm around her husband's 

 neck, and he began to realize how
