needs so long in darkness sleeping. Burnt at last from winter Knows. Earth with heaven above rejoices. Field: and gardens hail the spring. - Charles Kingsley.

Spring is A remembering time as we walk around our gardens and find familiar flowers that we had almost forgotten in the winter months. Every day it is pomible to see growth on many plants and it is a busy season cleaning up the garden. Transplanting has been done here the past week and the new rock garden is completed. scu- las have been added to the crocuses blooming and as these were a gift from another gardener from the eastern part of the Island they are prized.

It is good to feel the firm- ness of the soil where so lately there was snow and slippery ice. and a letter received from an Is- lander ninety years young now liv- ing in the Southern States tells how he misses our sr-asons in that- land of sunshine. He writes "I like to hear about the maple sani as I used to tap trees. and the spring seemed so nice after the long stormy winter. How I can rc- member when I could start and walk on the dry ground after the sr.ow was all gone. It is just. like summer here and Calla Lilies arc in bloom mi the lawns." Still he re- members the old home on the farm and the walks he enjoyed there so many years ago.

This is A good time to make a new border for annuals or peren- nials. Dig deeply and manure' well then allow to settle before plant- ing. Shrubs can be moved now. es- pecially the summer blooming var- ieties And they will never know if they are properly planted. A beati- tiful Gloxinia is bloomlnoz and all the house nlants are taking on A new glow. The potted flowers that were wintered in the cellar have been brought to the light. the farce Fuschlas and larger Gerariiums. some of the tuberous Beginnias will bloom in a short time as they were potted up a few weeks ago, and they are always so bright and col- orful.

If you wish to eniuv Your cards-n for several more hours each day and night. then you need some garden lights. the garden here is lighted and has proved that "The garden after twilight" can be en- loyed throughout the evening hours.

How does your garden look after twilight? Does it rest in ObS('llrll,V or can you see its loveliness in light and silhouette? The mellow gow of lamp light that spells A friendly invitation to spend a. com- panionable evening in the home is a great contrast to the daikncss without.

was a success, practically and aeti- theticaily. Up to now the outside of the house has been neglected, but we are making up for lost time. A series of little lights shielded from the onlooker but stretched along the perennial border bring the blue bell-flowers and white phlox to life and send the sharp swords of iris leaves into deep re- lief.

A moonlight effect can be ob- tained by training concealed lights on A willow tree and all kinds of experiments are possible with beau- tiful resuita.

ELLEll'S DIARY

lznlhlnlrstnsuwlfe

After awaiting it for rnonthl. what an extremely disappointing day this for the opening of the trouiing season! And how few the anglers who braved the keen edge of the north wind to visit the pondl To remain only briefly, soon per- suaded by the chin and dump of the weather and the unsettled state of the water to return to the interests of home.

It was difficult to see in today's sullen flow the loveliness of days there to come. To picture long shadows lingering among the quiet shining ripples touched to a silk- en sheen here and there by a ten- ing summer wind of the west; to catch the delight of fresh new leaves about . . . on the alders and the strays of white birchea that leaning primp on the mirror- inn surface. wild cherry and rowan before too long in sweet. scented blossom; tangle of blue vetch and creamy Queen Anne's Lace . . . and at length, but too soon. wild asters, early token of autumn.

How well we know and love the pond's varied moodsl The solemn- ity of early morning when a. new day fresh and beautiful, "with- out mar or blemish" is given to the world about; the peace and hush of evening . . . and the question: "Where hast thou glean- ed today? Thy labors - how be- stowed?" which gives it back-in- differently perhaps or with a sense of shame, the length of weaving a colorless fabric.

The weather postponed Jamie's angling, but in his father's ab- sence on a marketing excursion left him man-of-the-place in his stead. There, too, at that farm in the road, are to be found the younglings of the season. among them a bright nimble lamb, a pre- fcrred pet. of the family. Grand- daughter was sober then smiled to rcmember "'f'here'll come a day for fishing!" and instead of a brid- led mouse led Blackie, the dog. about the "halls" of the place.

"Now which would you prefer. Ellen" our philosopher. who had dropped by this evening ques- tioned-a bit idly we suspected - "a husband who took good care to remember you with a gift on your birthday and wedding anni- versary or one who kept wood to your fire?” James in the old arm- chair smiied casually. At the close of the choring when the evening shades were darkening, he had taken himself with the other farm- er to the wood-pile, where they busied themselves at the splitting until dark put an end to their day. And we had been complaining over their industry.

"This is what you have to con. sider" our visitor pointed out. "which takes more effort: to buy a hunch of roses or to toil to the woods, knock down a tree, limb and cut it into lengths, haul it home, saw it, and then split the blocks into cordwood?" James chuckled. "I believe I could make a better showing with the wood- roses would be too expensive. if 1 did remember!" "Now which?" the visitor queried with a smile, "fair question, Ellen!" Jeanie. who had

come in time to hear it laughed: "Bothi" "Now, isn't that the way of it. howadays?" he offered. i'There's no half-ways . . . it's all or none!"

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband is a university graduate with every appearance of a good background. but in reality his parents are the most. uncultured people I have ever met. Their grammar is atrocious. This liumiliates me beyond words, as many people have re- marked how shocked they were when they met his parents. The par- ents themselves think that because they educated their children. any

The people who keep them open are the parents who. lacking opportunity for education themselves, are willing to make any sacrifice tosee their children have advantages. -

Thank God most children, nnd'r-hildren-ln-law, don't share your

attitude.

apparently your husband does, to the parents whose hard work bet- tcrcd their offsprings' positions.

Your husband and his brothers have a fine background for which they need never apologize. more shocked if they know what went on in your puny mind than they ever would be by a lapse in your father-in-law's grammar.

If you were ti woman of any character, you would proudly ex- plain. upon hearing your selves incited the advantage of even an elementary education. they nevertheless managed to put three children through college-not I mean feat, I assure you.

Acquire a little charity, learn to love and admire people for what they are-not for how they speak! Few of us use flawless grammar: - in fact. among some groups it": almost a cult to employ poor speech as a form of so-called vivid expression. ignorant of grammatical forms. but they are very wise in the way! of bringing up children, and of human relationships.

when Dr. Walter Alvarez. Mayo Clinic. in the second symposium on

clinical problems of advancing age, wrote about ”iittlc" strokes. he awakened within practising

physicians in new watchfuiness for these little strokes in our aging men and women. The main point. about little strokes is that they may be forerunners of "big"! strokes and those big strokes in many cases may be avoided if the little stroke is recognized for what it is.

Dr. Alvarez gave the history of a busy businessman who consult- ed him about his blood pressure and the possibility of his having had a stroke. He gave the date of the occurrence but his wife re- minded him that his lllness started a little earlier than the date he mentioned. The man was furious with his wife for making this statement but, when Dr. Alvarez got the whole story. it was found that the man had had five little strokes.

It might be well to reca'l the syrnptorns of a little stroke des- cribed a few months ago. "There may be a dizzy spell. perhaps with a little nausea and vomiting, with later on an impaired sense of bal- ance. perhaps a loss of memory. a change of character, I. loss of the interests in life, a loss of Joy in it. and a loss of ability to work."

Dr. Alvarez mentions a number of cases of prominent men. active in business, social and charitable enterprises. who became changed from suffering little strokes. but who on occasions could put up such a reasonable from that the damage done by the little strokes was not su.specied.i

Many a man becomes too irrit- able to get along with his assoc- iates and employees, or may go in-to an agitated depression and walk about the house all night. What about treatment of these patients who have suffered little strokes?

Dr. Alvarez suggests that one of the best things a physician can do is to get the family to realize the situation so that they will he more understanding and sympathetic in his opinion. doctors do too much to these mentally crippled oidsters. They should be allowed to do what they please as far as mental or physical work is con- cerned.
