The robin on my lawn.

He was the flat to tell

Hcw. in the frozen down,

This miracle befell,

Waking the meadow: white With hour, the iron road Agleum with splintered light, And ice where water flowed. Till. when the low sun drank Thou milky mints that, cloak Hunger and milled bank, The winter world awoke

To hear the feeble blast

of lambs on downland farms. A blackbtcd whistled sweet; Old beeches moved their arms Into I mellow haze

Aerial, newly-born

And I. alone. ague,

Stood waiting for the thorn To break in blossom whim

Or burst In a green flame. . . So. in a single night.

Fair February came,

Bidding my lips to sing

or whisper their surprise. with all the joy of spring And morning in her eyes.

-Francis Brett Young.

Daffodils in lovely colors of orange red cups and yellow and white perlanths are blooming in the garden room and I have never grown such beautiful tall flowers; they maize we think of spring and the new bulbs that are planted 0L'. doors. A new garden book has been enjoyed this week. . . "The Gardens of Hampton Court" by

Mollie Sands. Island visitors to England have told me how they enjoyed these gardens and this

coming year is Festival of Britain Yes: and many more will be en- joylng these gardens filled with the history of Britain for a per- iod of four hundred years.

Socn after the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne in eighteen hundred and thirty seven, she or- dered thut the gardens should be thrown open to the public and in the first year one hundred and sixteen thousand visited these lcvely gardens. The book is a de- lightful account of the develop- ment. and progress of gardening -0! the Introduction of plants and methods of plant-culture from different countries end of the changes made in garden lay- out. over four hundred years. Against this background Miss sends has sketched the people who knew and loved Hampton Court: - from the Kings, Queens, courtiers and statesmen who paced its lovely igrounds. to the humble men and women whose green fingers gave it beauty.

The book is beautifully illustrat- ed wtth old paintings, one of which is I ..roduced from a painting by gracious permission of His Majes- ty the King.

when the worthy Prior Docwra of the Knights I-fospltnllera of St. John leased the Manor of Hunpton to one. "Thomas Wulcey", he could never have foreseen that the little monastery garden would become the playground of the sovereign.

From the strictly utilitarian patch of herbs and vegetables. there sprung the delightful Knotte Gardens. Alleys and Bowers be- lc-xea of the Tudors; : ustlng grounds, tennis courts and bowl. in greens; classic statuary, foun- tains. and terraced Ilopes of Ital- ian origin -- in fact, every phase of English life and culture was faithfully reflected in the gardens of Hampton Court.

There is an interesting story of A Mr. Harris who had studied the map of the maze and was sure he could find his way out with case. He took it country cousin with him and soon after they had got inside they picked up some people who had been wandering about for three-quarters of an hour. "Harris told them they could follow him if they liked; he was Just going in. and then should turn round and come out again." soon there was a procession following Harris, of "people who htd given up all hope of ever getting either in or out".

Needless to say. Han-ls cannct find the way out. even with the

help of his map. They call the

: ikeeper, who stands on the ladder

loutslde and shouts directions which

I they are too confused to follow. ;And it was not until an older ex-

perienced keeper arrived that they wece directed out of the maze. But though Hampton Court gardens are thoroughly up in date and provided with everything neceunry for the recreation of the public that now enjoys them. yet. they have not broken with the past. As we walk through them,

Numerous red candles in silver holders, and fine beautifully decor- ated centre cakes, topped off the two heavily laden tables with food. At 5 p.m. all did ample justice to it most delectable supper. During the supper hour many piano duets in- cluding favorite songs. were most: effectively rendered by Mrs. Earl Clark and Mrs. Stanley Younker. Later in the evening on auction sale of food followed.

we are reminded at every turn of their former owners. The Pond Garden or Pond Yard takes us back to Henry eighth and Eliza- abeth. Although its aspect has been altered so that its Tudcr owners would hardly recognise it, yet the low brick walls which di- vide it up go back to their time. and Mr. Ernest Law says that in the corners may be seen the bases of the stone piers which support- ed Henry's heraldic "beestes." The Great canal and the lime- tree avenues remind us of Charles II and the yews and the hollles of William III. We can imagine Mary and her ladies sitting in Queen Macy's bower. The maze too, be- longs to the William and Mary

period. The Vine. planted in Brown's day, still flourishes. No knot-garden of Tudor times rc- imlns. but in 1924 a reconstruc-

tion was devised by Mr. Ernest Law and planted in the angle formed by the junction of the Tudor Palace and William IlI's Palace. As we marvel at its neat-

ness and intricacy. our minds go back to Cardinal Wolsey. and his own Knot.-garden, of which the knots were so enlmotted it could not be expressed. This little garden is I fitting place in which to hon- our the memory of Wolsey. the true founder of Hampton Court Gar- dens. and with it that of Ernest Low, to whcee devoted work and scholarship all lovers of Hamp- ton Court ewe so great a debt.

The Micmac Indians were kind to one another. sharing all focd. If an aged father lost. a son he Wits given rt boy to bring up as his. own. Both sex dressed alike, ex- cept that the feminine dress reach- ed it foot lower than those worn by the men. Neither sex were hats. The Mlcmacs were fond of paint- ing their faces. nnd the hair was bound into a large knot: that fell just short. of the ea-.'.s.' Their hair never whitened with age and the men grew no beards.

when they did not feel up to their usual physical high standard they cured themselves by sweat- ing. For the sweating process, a hole was dug in the ground and then lined with hot stcnes. These holes were dug near the shore so that when they emerged from their sweat pit they could plunge into the cold water. The shock never seemed to harm their health. They used psultlces for sores and made is "par excellent" job of set- ting brclren bones. Large pads of moss held the fractured parts in place.

It was the custom to bury their (lead knees touching chins, being held in this position with thongs of bark. The grnve was dug l'tf”'.l:I and from 4-5 feet: deep. After the body was committed to the grave czvth was thrown atop it. and flit- nll; ::mtc' logs, or in some cases an urrltcii strticttirc covered the spot. There were also other modes of burial but the one mentioned here :- cms to have been the most po;iitl.:i; Along with the hcdy were buried such nr-tlcles as--would be needed in the spirit world.
