Very convenient. Apparently the favorite boutonniere is still around bunch of Violets, as displayed by the youthwith a big stick and a baggy suit of clothes. It is a wonder tliat the modest English Primrosehas not appeared this spring for the corsage orbutton hole: apart from its own beauty it wouldsuggest a familiarity with the Primrose League,highly attractive to the admirers of our Englishcousins.
