How sadly, I remember, rose the morning of the year! To die before the snow-drop came, and now the violet's here. Oh! sweet is the new violet that comes beneath the skies And sweeter is the young lamb's voice to me that cannot rise; And sweet is all the land about, and all the flowers that blow; And sweeter far is death than life to me that long to go. Tennyson.
Daisy, you'll always remember my words, and say to yourself: 'He knows what is best. You will remember what I say, won't you, Pet?" He wondered why the fair, sweet face grew as pale as a snow-drop, and the cold little fingers trembled in his clasp, and the velvety eyes drooped beneath his earnest gaze. "Yes," whispered Daisy; "I shall remember what you have said."
Those of fine, double damask, with a simple design, such as a snow-drop or a mathematical figure, to match the table-cloth, are also pretty. In the end, the economy in the wear pays a young house- keeper to invest well in the best of napery double damask, good Irish linen. Never buy poor or cheap napkins; they are worn out almost immediately by washing.

No rose on its stem is fresher than she; no apple-blossom, wafted by the wind, floats more lightly than she moves. Her rich silk rustles as she bends over and exclaims, 'Will he not come? "Is it Kay you mean?" asked Gerda. "I am only speaking of a story of my dream," replied the flower. What, said the little snow-drop?
Flowers ought never to be plucked except to give away. Touch it gently." A silvery flower, something like a snow-drop, grew just within her reach. Timidly she stretched out her hand and touched it. The flower trembled, but neither shrank nor withered. "Touch it again," said the child. It changed color a little, and Rosamond fancied it grew larger. "Touch it again," said the child.
Although it was a warm, sunny spot, the snow had drifted there to such an extent that the icy base of the drift still partially covered the ground, and through a weak place in the melting ice a snow-drop had pushed its green, succulent leaves and hung out its modest little blossom.
It was an unusually early spring; tulips in Union Square appeared coincident with crocus and snow-drop; high above the city's haze wavering wedges of wild-fowl drifted toward the Canadas; a golden perfumed bloom clotted the naked branches of the park shrubs; Japanese quince burst into crimson splendour; tender chestnut leaves unfolded; the willows along the Fifty-ninth Street wall waved banners of gilded green; and through the sunshine battered butterflies floated, and the wild bees reappeared, scrambling frantically, powdered to the thighs in the pollen of a million dandelions.
Miss Hanenwinkel suggested "Plum-jam," because Hunne often cried when he couldn't have plums, and everybody ate jam with a spoon, and if plum-jam was not on the supper-table to-night, it was sure to be, to-morrow. "Wrong! wrong!" cried Hunne again. "Well, I guess Tear-ful," said Rolf; but that was even worse than the others. "I think it may be Snow-drop," said the mother.
"No," said he; "I am heart-whole save for a few lingering fancies which are fast becoming vanishing dreams." He seemed to have lived years since entering this room. "Your heart will not be disturbed now," commented Felix. "I have seen the girl. I went there on purpose a year ago. She's as pale as a snow-drop and as listless.
