It is now dipped in A glaze. which is really liquid glass. and then placed in the glost oven.

How to look after it once you've

got it. Positively do . not wash china in aluminum dishpan or sink. Aluminum marks china.

Use aluminum for cooking utensils only. Washing should be done immediately after the meal is over. (When you use fine bone china). Liquids. salads, gravies. salted foods. or any other food that leaves the china wet or damp, has an injurious effect if left standing. Do not leave dishes soaking in water as it eventually will soften the ingredients composing the den- orations. especially does this ap- ply to gold. 0

Fragrant apple-blossoms. bright tulips. the blue of for-get-me-not and the foliage of all the shrubs and trees make the garden a love- ly place to visit at this season of the year. Tulips last for a week or so but the for-get-me-not will continue all through June and the blue color looks well with so many of the early perennialsnvnder the pale green pleated beech leaves in the wood it had seeded itself in drifts here and there and many varieties of ferns are nearby.

Visitors are invited to the garden to see the tulips and for-get-me- not and the tulip season is about two weeks if the weather is kind. Princess Margaret Rose tulips are planted in the centre of the gar- den by the birdbath. These are beautiful sports from Inglescombe yellow and they are yellow with an ending of orange; they look especially well with blue, blue, for-get-me-not.

It is interesting to read about the first tulips...for countless gen- erations the Saracens enjoyed the tuiip in their gardens at Constant- inople, on these flowered terraces spilling down to the blue waters of the Bosphorous. In 1554 the Saca- cens brought the seeds of the tulip to Western Europe with them. Many colored tulips found 0. place in the gorgeous pattei-nezl gardens of Spain and the Dutch traders brought them home to their own lowland gardens and there by the canals. and the pres- ence of the engulfing sea, they made them flourish. soon the English planted them. until now when almost every little garden is colorful with tulips in the Spring- time.

Flower legends appeal to some- thing in us, something we want and have a right to...which ap- peal to the sense of the lovely which exists in nearly everybody. here is a pretty legend of the tulip...

Many years ago. in Devonshire. not far from a marsh, where dwelt those little people, the Pixies. there lived a. kind old woman. whose heart was so filled with the love of flowers that she tended her gar- den with the utmost care and thought all the seasons through.

Of all the flowers. her greatest pride was her bed of tulips. which were the most beautiful that had ever been seen. for the Pixies put their babies to sleep in the deep cups. which made such ideal crad- les for the drowsy little ones when bedtime came.

The old woman never allowed a tulip to be gathered. nor did she venture near the bed after dark for fear of intruding upon her fancy guests and disturbing their sleeping children during the night.

Many years passed in this happy little garden, until one day the old woman became ill and died. Her son was a rough. coarse man, who did not sympathise with his moth- er and her love of flowers, and was determined to be much more practical. He dug up the bed of tulips and in their place planted food for his cattle. However. no crop of any kind he sowed on the desecrated plot would grow. The land remained barren and brown. no shoot of green breaking through the sombre surface; for the Pixies never forgave the destruction of their nurseries.

The little people knew where their kind friend slept. All about her grave grew tulips of surpassing loveliness. The country folk re- joiced in the blossoms by day. and at night heard the softest singing. as the Pixies mothers lulled their babies to rest in the beautiful tu- lip cradles.

"I should say not - and us at the cropping! And listen" he of- fered suggcstively "there's an extra cow to be miiked.. and I haven't much time!" There was a sound of a door opened and closed and the ring of steps along the yard.

He nodded as we came to a sitting posture, stretched and yawned on the side of the old bed.

And he flew off to look in at "tho wife”,.who in spite of Jam e's efforts on a recent visit to o st her, still sits and manages her family, in 8. woodpecker's hollow in a birch, not far from the gate- way.

It was indeed ii beautiful day. this one which brought James to a field towards the rear of the farm. and the first of the sowing. For close to a half century at Al- deriea. he has been the chief oper- ator at the seeding, in time, and occasionally spelled by Rob, now busy at his own. Through it all. fair winds of fate or harassing, he has companioned the old seeder, up and down and along the fields. Teams have changed. neighbours. friends. departed. new fields of virgin soil been added to the farm. and still this privilege and rite of the seedtime remains in his ex- perienced hands. We overheard a conversation in the yard. "And why should I use three horses in the machine?" James queried. "So you can ride. and save your energy" the younger farmer re- plied. James looked emhariissed, as though he had been caught in a. fault. he that always admired the farmer ' who chose to walk after his team. "I reckon I may as well" he agreed. And that is how the first sowing was done. At supper we listened to a familiar plaint. "It's done. Ellen" James observed "but I can't. say how well I did it. I'm just afraid she put it on a little too thin!"
