f;:LEll'S DIARY l

By An blond lannerla Wife

"When the hours are so still that Time Forgets them and lets them lie 'Neath the petals pink, till the night-stars wink At the sunset in the sky, It is July!"

The hours are still now. silent. without disturbing twitter or sound. Night-stars twinkle in a summer smile and there is be- witchment of moonlight over the farmlands. The fields are beaut- iful places of light and shadow, brighter here and lhcre where the moon weaves her magic over the daisy-filled haylahd.

At Aldcrlca. a moonbeam bridge. a gay silvery structure whercon a least wish may climb, will now span the pond: thc gray-gnbled mill content, will hzivc settled down to its dreaming as the wa- ter falling from the gates besidc. continues to play an unceasing melody to the night.

A breath of wind stirs the cur- lains bcsidc us, st-cntcd with es- sence of clover and rosc and It thousand flowers of field and gar- den. Now indeed is July, well loved month of the year.

"But", James ohservcd yesterday with lender solicitation. "it might prove too much of a strain to Ellen. They say Ihcre are gruc- some scenes in that picture. And you know as folks grow older. their nerves become less steady. At, least so it seems to me . . "There's one of thc children cry- ing Ellen. You don't suppose he's been hurt? Perhaps broken a limb. Better run quickly and see!" Or "There now you've cut your finger. How it blccds! Run to your Grandmother. Tcil her to bathe and fix it. for you!" Or ”Klck? That cow clocsn'l kick--Lil least it's only in play. F.llen."

"Yes," he nodded, "I'm would be too much for her . . . and besides we're going to be es- pecially busy tomorrow. lVe'vc so much to gct slraightencd away ho- forc the haying. Ami." he mused a moment. "who would prepare our supper?" This was in reply to a suggestion of his sister,that we cut the binding lies of duty for this afternoon to attend with her the current showing In town of the screen-play, Quo Vndls.

We may say it was not with some wishful thought on our part that we then rested our fate in the lap of our tomorrow. The morning brought us encouraging

”The Glory of one Red

If some despicable decree should pluck from the gardens of the earth all their flowers except one - and it were left. for me to decide which bright blossom should re- main to bless the hungry eye-I would choose the red rose. As the Gospel of John catches up the spirit of all the other gospels. a red rose holds within ner vclvet pet- als the fragrance and beauty that prompts the heart to plant a garden. The gate of Life swings to and fro. and soon. too soon. it closes; and that is why beside my door, I grow red roses. is a sentiment no universal it becomes the anthem of those who worship at its lovely. fragrant altar".

Red Roses are blooming in the garden and fragrance and beauty is here with Pinks and Honeysuckle vines and many. many other fra- grant flowers. It is a happy time in the garden wth those who are keen on gardening. A visitor to- day asked me about the soil used in the potted tuberous Begonias and he told me about the Door soil he had in a neighboring city-"all ashes" he said and I wondered at the man trying to garden with this great difficulty to overcome. Coun- try rzardncrs are blessed with aill the good soil they need, and many varieties of soil for different plants.

Foxglove and Sweet William are lovely now and they will continue so for some time. These plants were grown from my own seed and transplanted from the field to the borders so that the cost was very small.

Clematis erecta is covered with fragrant creamy-white rlowers and when established this her- baceous specie becomes a loose bush of several feet through and is very suitable for the hardy flow- xl-border long-lasting and beauti.

Plans are now being made for improvements to the garden next year and a visitor to the garden pleased me when he said that the garden blended into the landscape". Reading the July issue of "Garden- ing Illustrated" A. T. Johnson writes There are as many phases of What is commonly called natural lfardeninlf as there are of informal Hardening. One or these, perhaps the most important. and itself cov- arms: a large iield. is the encieavbur so to make the garden that it blends harmoniously with its en- vironment. We must for example, avoid the anomaly of a rock garden of limestone where the local for- mation consists of, say, red sand. stone: and a formal bedding lay- Ollf. of roses would be no less incon- Kruous in a glade of pines and

bracken. You may indulge in these. things if you like them that way,

omens. Jamie, who has eyes gift- ed to discover them in numbers. brought us a four-leavcd clover: we uncovered a ruslry horse-shoe among the hits and pieces of kindling-wood in the shed: Gage would have secured, "Only I could never kill him because he was the sweetest baby-rabbit you ever sawl" A paw from the bunny he spied nibbling clover in a meadow between here and "Out Home”; and Granddaughter said: "If you think a black cat would bring you good luck about something. why you may have one of our kittens for your own. One of them is as dark as night!"

1. Monday: The custom of call- ing a reliable, and trustworthy person a brick goes back to an- tiquity. according to Plutarch. It seems that an early mbassador to Sparta was taken on a tour of the city. He saw much worthy of wonder and praise. but most of all. he was astonllhed that the town lacked a wall-then univers- ally thought to be a necessary dc- fenslve device. He asked this guide why no wall had been built, but received no reply. Next morning. however, the officials of the city conducted him to the plain where the army of Sparta was accustom- ed to drill. There thousands of hardened veterans were drawn up in battle array. r "Yonder." ex- plained an officer. with a grim smile, "are the walls of Sparta. and every man is a brick!"

2. Tuesday: Looking for some- thing cold and tasty these days? (So am I!) How about Minted Peas? Drain cooked. fresh or canned peas. marinate with French dressing and add 1 teaspoon chop- ped fresh mlnt for each cup of peas. Let these chill all day and then heap them in the centre of a salad. Flavor improves with standing in this case. Frozen ap- plesauce is another "cooling de- vice". Make about 1 quart of strained applesauce. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons chopped preserved gin- ger and 1 cup shredded pineapple, juice and all. Freeze it like sher- bet.

Incidentally the most modern lElPll of a well dressed infant of over half a century ago. was this: 'An infant should wear a shirt of all wool, heavy diaper. band of pure wool flannel. n high-necked and long-sleeved slip, a second sleeve- less garment and over this a fine nainsook slip and a fine wool nightgown."
