A. No. The man's family may give I celebration party, but the announcement must be made by the girl's parents. and they could do this very well through the local newspapers.

Q. Is "I know Miss Brown" the proper thing to say when being introduced to her for the second time?

Gardeners are strange folk at this season of the year. Bulbs of all kinds fill every warm shelf in the kitchen, and in sunny win- dows seeds have been sown in old baking dishes and discarded pans. Dozens of beautiful seed- ling: are carefully watched for weeks in many homes until they are finally planted outdoors to give beauty and color for the summer months. It is possible to do this if you try. even under difficult circumstances.

The Crocus has been delayed but soon will giadden the heart 01 the gardener on some sunny day. The lovely crocus has been held in high esteem for centuries.

Today winter-weary gardeners cherish the little flower whose defiant array of color brings promise of spring. in the old

diiys, rather than the spring blou- som, merchants loved the autumn crocus for its promise of gold. "Vegetable gold" they called it because if was the source of Isf- fron. highly prized in trade. The proper name. Crocus sali- vua. is completely materialistic in significance. Crocus comes from

In order to grasp the significance of the call of I Palestinian cus- toms officer it is necessary to re- member that, because of the sys- tem of farming out the right of collecting taxes, corruption wII rife. The writers of the gospels- and not only the Pharisem whose words they report-frequently bracket tax oollectoiis ("publicans" in Bible English) with "sinners"; and unless there is evidence that any particular collector was in- iiocent. the implication is that he was not. The call to Matthew. therefore. confronted him with I critical decision.-whether to give up I profitable, but what was looked up on as I diishonourable. post for In unknown future as a follower of Jesus.

Just I few years ago the com-

crocus very long ago. They cal- led it the yellow bulb. za, faran, which became our -word saffron. The Greeks, the Romans and, in time, the peoples of northern Eu- rope knew the bulb and to a large extent lived on its products. it went to the Far East perhaps in camel trains which brought the treasureu of the Orient to Europe.

During the dark ages the saf- fron buib was lost to Europe. Maintenance of life was all her peoples could compass. But with the Renaissance, it found its way back. Possibly it came from the Far East once more in camel trains that were re-opening trade with the West.

Hakluyf. the English historian, wrote that I pilgrim from the East brought back I saffron bulb in the hollow of his staff. An- other version of the story credits the deed to I returning crusader.
