Success in the making of such a picture is very easy if one will be content with simplicity and naturalness, but it becomes increasingly difficult as one strives after complexity and artistic finish. In all pictures certain harmonies are to be desired. In flower pictures, tbe chief of these are the harmonies of Hue and color. Tbe harmonies of line are determined by the habit of growth of the plants used and the forms of the leaves and blossoms. Tbe simplest way to secure beauty In this respect Is to confine the display to one type of flower, and see that the lines of the stems and blossoms conform to the lines of tbe receptacle. Thus a few large roses on long, straight stems may be displayed to great advantage In a tall, cylindrical vase, while smaller roses on shorter, more fragile stems are much more effective when shown in low, broad rose bowls. Harmony of color In a flower arrangement requires simply that the (lowers placed together shall not be of discordant tones, and that they shall combine attractively with the color of the receptacle. The latter le, Indeed, of the greatest Importance In the making of the flower pictures, for, If not simple In form and modest In color, It will spoil the beauty of any Dowers with which It la used.

Her hair came out In bunches, falling entirely In spots large as a silver dollar. A kind of scab would form In little wblte crusts on tbe spots. These pots would be sore.
