are expected to do

Old Mr. Carrick, the uncle of Clara Garrick, had a monopoly of the flowerselling btuiceia In a certain small college town In New England more than a decade ago. The name Carrick was synonymous In that town to an thing* flori cultural. Whether you vented to buy a wreath to lay on a soldier's grace on Meat rial day or whether, as a student In the small college, you wanted to send an offering of American BeenUes or Killarnles to ono of the pretty town girls, you went to Garrick's, and usually you would hara been waited on by Clara, who teemed to lire behind the dingy old counter in an atmosphere of flower pots. Usually when you went Into the store her nimble ' ung Angers were working on aome "set piece" for a funeral—a task at which she was

particularly proficient.

AH the student* knew Clara Garrick, for at tom* time during their four years' course they sought the flower market, and without an exception they all liked her bright aye* and happy smile. But though they sometimes asked the Carrick .-Iris—the florist's two pretty daughter*—to go to college dances, no one erer thought of asking Clara.

Had to Teach Herself.

Clara had been left father!eri and motherless when she was about eight years old. and she had been token Into the household of her uncle on the und erstanding that she ehould not make a burden of herself sad that the should help In the store. When the school inspector came around, aa be c^caatanally did. the uncle evaded his questions aa to whether Clara war being sent to school And no ore to lha tow* felt suBdently Interested to

her cousin* could explain: you are going u> say It U hecause 1 nm not aa pretty aa you are. you needn't waste your breath. For I am pretty An old lady who came Into the store the other day told me I and some of the students have said nice things to me. So there!" "Maybe you are pretty," admitted i .ousins. "but you haven't anything t wear, have yen? Ton don't t you could go In your serge e day dress, do you?” was this speech that started Clara thinking and started the train of events which have brought her to her

present position

Bought a New Pink Gown. She thought all day about it. and at night when she wan trying to sleep aha decided to take the money she had saved from Christmas presents and a drees which would be appropriate for the ball Accordingly, the next time she went to the city to buy flowers tor her uncle she made a tour of the fashionable shop*, and came to the conclusion that her gown should be made of pink with gold

make money aa a flori for that _it to that direction. She first mad# a lour of the place and rlalted. each florist'n shop on the pretext ot buying flowers. Bhe then went to a real estate agent and. still dressed to her shabby black serge, told him she wanted to rent a store suitable for a florist's shop. Before

_ location to town for Then, having arranged for a week's sojourn with a poor woman near by, she wrote to her uncle, demanding that he send her by return post the small patrimony—a few bun dred dollar*—ftfflHrwaa laid away for

Bhe wasted no time, hut bought the pink satin, a paper pattern and a thousand tin spangles Then st night. Instead of reading stolen trvt-book* Clara devoted her time to fashioning that pink party dress, and after that to sewing the spangles on till she could keep her eyea open no longer. The dress was finished In a couple of weeks, and for a iew foolish moment* she Imagined chat the question of going to tbs college dance was settled. Zhe tried the dress on aud paraded before her mirror and convinced herself that her resplendent gown would be an attraction to any student She decided to take her cousin* Into her

The following day. while she waiting for the money, the made out a list of what she would buy with her few hundred dollars. The list Included a small new wardrobe Oral of all— she felt hopelessly handicapped to the old black serge—the payment of her first month’s rent, the purchase of the simplest sort of fixtures for her store, a small outlay for announcement! and the purchase of a stock of flowers aad

supplies.

All this happened some twelve year* ago. Today anyone who lives to the suburban town where Clara Carrick still does business as a Baris, knows that she has achieved success. Other women have gone Into the florist rest and have failed, but they have net served an apprenticeship like that served by MW* Carrick

He chases anyone who attempts to drive him away Height about eight cubits.

But Clara used to get hold ot bar cousins' school books after they got through with them, and it sraa-not a very dlffleul*. matter tor her to teach herself many of the lessons that her cousins had trouble In masteringAnd all the limn she arts learning mors and more abom the florist s L<utoe*s First she simply walled on customers Then aba became so profldent at making bouquets and set pieces that Mr. Carrick Intrusted her with all of this work, and this some times kept her busy far Into the night, wiring and arranging the tnkny bio* sons Out were needed In the designs. Then when her uncle made the discovery that she had been studying arithmetic by herself, after allowing a suitable time for hto assumed anger to wear off. h# suggested to her that tbs take charge of the accounts and the tending out of the hills. "If you haven't enough to do ana can waste your time reading books that aren't meant for you. you might get busy ard do something to psy «* back a llttl* for all the money wo have had to spend on you." was ty* way of indicating lhat he would like her to undertake this new work. The next task which was given to Clara was that of going to thstower market This she was expected to do Arri when she had arrived at the ags of aeventeen. It Involved going to the nearby city and choosing *nd purchasing the various rut (lovers ana plants that were needed in the huat-
