Womenfs realm PAGE TWO A country Garden 31 Mrs. Gordon Mulllllnn .L-. A wonderful rain has come and the garden has had a good soak- ing. I am reminded of this descrip- tion of a garden after rain. "The garden is lovely on a hot summer night, when the perfume steals out in the soft stillness. It is lovely in the dawn, when it is still drenched with dew; but it is never more lovely than when it has been soaked in the first rain after a dry spell. There is a wonderful scent which rises from dry soil as the rain falls upon it, and afterwards the hot earth steams and the plants hysterical with joy seem to grow before one's eyes. It is true when the first intoxicating tour is over of the glistening foliage, the ex- perienced gardener reflects with a sigh that wccds also grow hysteri- cally in the hothousc atmospherc there are always snags; or if we like to put it in another way, there are always compensations.” It is a wearisome task trying to water a large garden with leaky hose and old buckets and now the iiardencr can spend the precious llmfl in weeding and staking and trinimiiig the grass. Delphinium and Madonna Lilies are. biooming! These perennials look very well together and some years ago there were many of them in the garden; now theie are three beautiful lilies with as Wally 85 lWPHl.V blooms on a. stem. They are ll lovely fragrant lily and more must be planted if pos- sible. The dignified grace and beauty of the Lilies distinguish them a- bove all other flowers and confer on all members of the family an air of refinement that stamps them as kin despite the disversiiy of their size and colour. Among the very oldest inhabitants of gar- dens. they are also among the best beloved, and it is 3. matter of common knowledge that many people who have little or no in- terest in flowers and gardens have aiydeep and lasting regard for Lilies. A group of fragrant Lilies scenting the air in the cool of a summers evening is one of the greatest Joys of the garden. The quiet charm of the family has not been without its appeal to the botanists who have des- cribed the various species, about one hundred varities of wild Lilies (ire found in the cool val- leys of the northern hemisphere. In Europe pride of place is given to the Madonna Lilly, Lilium can. didum has been grown for their beauty longer than any other species and while the beauty of Lilies has long been recognized in both art and poetry. there is not rloubt that they were first grown for their real or supposed medic- inal value. No one is now certain of the wild home of the Madonna Lily although it has been found in HUG or two stations among the Balkan mountains and in the long ago this lily held a high re- putation for healing wounds and curing internal disorders. In the first plant book to be written in English in i525, more than half a page is devoted to the virtues of Lilium and now in 1952 we know that Lilies are benefic- ial to the health and life of all W110 grow and love them. Fragrance is everywhere in the garden and especially in the evenings after the busy heat of the day. p"Summer is the season of hap. pmess.

A very pretty wedding was sol-l emnized at St. John's United? Church. Mount Stewart, on June 18th, at seven o'clock, P. M., when Shirley Mae Frances, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence N. Coffin. Pisquid, was united in marriage to Daniel Bruce Afflcck. son of Mrs. .llariznre't Affieclt and the late Jonathan Afflcck of Mount Stewart. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. E. D. Ashford of Char- lottetown. The wedding music was played by Mrs. Leiib Affleck. The church was tastefully decorated with spring flowers and potted plants. The bride who was given in marriage by her father wore a floor length gown. with strapless white alchoan lace bodice that came to a. point at the waist and slipping through a glade of the farm when in the interests of their safety we accompanied the party as they carried a drink tof the lamb. - 3 The older ones barefoot. step-3 ping on pebbles and smooth storicsl forded the stream to reach the pas-t, lure; while bringing some whiiesi into play we managed to keep the; baby of the quartette along the shallows of the nearer side.
