Newport C) Charity Worker Says They tilve Off the Rich. NEW June 3. Miss Harriet E. Thomas, secretary of the Newport (R. Charity Organisation Society, has an article In the current number of Charities on "Newport's Under Hundreds." Miss Thomas says Newport's Isolation has brought about a lack of ambition among her people.

DAILY PLANT STUDY, ORCHIDACEAE CYPRIPEDIUM JTIR SUTUM LARGE YELLOW LADY'S SLIPPER. Very, few persons in Indian! know that we have 'thlrtyi seven species of orchids In the State. The most common species Is the large yellow lady's slipper.

All orchids are remarkable for the strange appearance of their multiform flowers, which sometimes represent an insect and sometimes a grinning monkey. So complicated is their combination that there, is scarcely a common reptile or Insect to which some of them have not been likened. They all will be found to be constructed on one general plan. The number for their parts is always three, the different shapes depending upon the adhering, loblng and twisting of their differently formed sepals, petals and stamens. The perianth of orchids consists of three sepals and three petals.

Any variation from this number is due to cohesion of some of these parts. The two side or wing petals are much, alike, but the third is so different in form and size that it is known as the labellum or lip. It is this part of the plant that varies so much in form, size and color. It Is invariably adherent to the ovary and the posterior part becomes the anterior through a half twist of the ovary. The cypripedium or lady's slipper has the two lower sepals united In one segment, the petals spreading.

Hp Inflated and obtuse. The column, the combined stamens and styles terminates in a petalold lbe or barren stamen. It has a two celled anther under each side petal. The flowers are large and distinguished for the large inflated lower petal looking like a slipper or moccasin. The plant is pubescent, the leave broad lanceolate acuminate, the sepals lanceclate, the Up shorter than the linear twisted petals.

Tha flowers are mostly solitary. The segments are greenish with purple stripes and spots, the Up bright yellow, spotted Inside with a roundish aperture. It is found in woods and meadows from Canada and Wisconsin, south to Georgia, and in nearly ail parts of Indiana. It is much mora abundant than any other orchid. Only a few of the thirty seven varieties In Indiana are found all over the State, and they are nowhere abundant; mny are found only tn the northern counties and around Lake Some are almost exclusively confined to the tamarack swamps.

wet woods, marshy plates and peat bogs. A few stek a dry. sandy soil and are found as far south as Gibson and Posey counties. The time cf blooming is Jun. Plalnfield.
