ELLEN’S DIARY

Moonlight At Alderlea shes Fields In Silver.

“How good this March-month Is!" we say, enjoying the leng- thening lovely day with their warming sunslight and the baring fields. We enjoy too the rights with their starshine and quiet, and the moonlight wash- 'ng the farmlands in silver.

“You should come out and see how pretty the night is!’’ Mack rmiled this evening. “‘It’s al- most as bright as by day.”

Lights in windows, smokes rising from the hearthfires.

But to come to a verandah or yard to look out at a reach of countryside is a privilege given to folks of the farms. How ser- ene it was when we came with him then! No breath of wind stirred. No sound in the wide silence obtaining. But listen! Was that the hunting call of
