ELLEN’S DIARY

As First Blossoms Appear Children Gaze In Rapture

An afternoon this was for us to paint a ceiling in a hail to the Spring-cleaning in this- old—house- at Alderiea. It was a day for the children ever eager and happy to find such treasure about, to dis- eover the first blossoming snow- drops in the border.

Of all the miracles of Spring, and what a-legion there is, none is more engaging than the ap pearance of these. The winter snow and ice has scarcely dissap- peared from the border. }ts len- gth has only bare s! ry and the odd stalks of the'late bloom- ing perennials and annuals that at fength shivered, and succunf- bed to a frosty breath of the Fall. In dank clay these remain on which too, scattered leaves of Autum still rest, And here push- ing up from the damp earthy bed, braving cold winds and weath- ers is leaf and blossom of first growth of Spring.

So pleased the youngsters were at the sight of them, as down on knees they regarded them close- ly, touching the waxen petals. Granddaughter smiled happily.

‘Mack beside her nodded, wond-

er in his expression as though this miracle was difficult to be- \hieve. How could it be with the earth still so damp and cold all about?

‘Now let's go see if there is eny sign yet of a crocus” she suggested to him rising quickly to explore father along amid the sere dank leaves. And there they were in green promise, be- neath the poplar by the gateway the same tree that speaks to us in @ stilly sunset of summer when on the old sandstone doorstep we enjoy the wastes of loveliness a- bout.

silken rustlings it talks, and we know then that merry little lads of elves with pointed ears are there or others of the fairy trib- es, even it could be an elusive leprechaun though we would have no need to catch him since spread all about on hill and vale and sky is that vast treasure of beauty we value.

It was the pure white of the snowdrops’ blossoms we paint- ed the ceiling. And as we dipped the brush and spread and smooth ed and made progress at our work, a ceiling out of the young years came to mind in a mem- ory most pleasant. It was decor- ated with paper-white too it was, and never was sky so pearly-shad- ed! And for added enchantment for us, a thousand stars shone out in sun or lamplight in bright Slints of silver. —

They sparkled as truly as ever those tonight shine down on the farmlands and house and home about. To go to sleep with them overhead, after a sweet spring- evening had called us in from our play to a slice of homemade bread and butter, or a substan- tial sugar or molasses cookie, and to immediate bed, was to find content there and the assur- ance: that while Providence set His own stars to keep watch and ward over all, all would be well with our world.

How did James suffer our art- istry? He was out about, visiting the stables—planning no doubt. This likely heifer he would keep fot a cow (the younger farmer would agree) and they would set that one low-set, aside to ‘“‘make beef.”

DEFINE THE JOB

Dear C.P.: What to do? Clar- ify your status in the staff situ- ation. Ask the boss to give you a job-definition. Aret you a house- keeper, in the real meaning of the term? If so, you are vested with authority that befits your station as g0-between.

A housekeeper specifies the maid’s duties and sees that she does them. If the maid is dis- courteous or non-cooperative, she should be fired with management backing; and someone hired who will accept supervision. That is good. government.- In order to have teamwork, there must be a chain of command—iaid on the line, and followed through.

However, put your foot down in the matter of “‘secret spy” snooping in your kitchen. Send the bookkeeper flying, with a figurative kick in the pants, if ever again you catch her rum- maging through your purchases, as if to check on your honesty.
