The many articles in 1arpers Month
", written and illustrated by Mr.. Will
liam Hamilton Gibson, his talks upon
nature, and the exquisite fairy pictures
which he gives Of the many small tWigs,
plants and insects surrounding US on
every hand, almost invisible as it were,
recalls to our mind a visit few years
since to Washington, among the hills of
Connecticut.
Here Mr. Gibson spent his boyhood
attending the "Gunnery,a a model boys
school originated by a Mr.. Gum; and
it was to see two cousins who were at
tend this same school that we visited
Washington.
Mr.. Gibson is born naturalist, and
many incidents are told by the boys of
his tramps through the woods, always
coming back laden with numerous small
bugs, beside plants Of every description,
often spending whole afternoons on holi-
days, lying on the ground near trout
brood, waiting and watching for the ap-
pearance# of some small midget whose
home was under a rock near the water,
while the exquisite tracing of the fern and
vine, the pale pink blooms of the trailing
aTbutus, and the queer feathery balls
waving in the sunshine, all appealed to
the latent artistic taste of Mr.. Gibson.
His early life with the squirrels and
chipmunks under the trees, and his quick
observation of natures habits, strength
ened the mind of the boy and now ena-
bles the man to give to the world some
of the most beautiful pictures, from both
pen and pencil, that we have ever read
or seen. Many remember with pleas
ure the Illustrations of E. p. Roe's Ma
lures Serial Story; which were from the
pencil Of Mr.. Gibson. IL.

The fashion of table decoration
changes as frequently as other fashions
do, and the matter OF arranging flowers
on tables seems to agitate the hostess, in
order to have something unusual. We
clip the following from an exchange:
The tendency is always to return to the
ever fresh and spotless damask. We
have had a surfeit of plush strips edged
with gold lace, Or bordered with en-
broidered or painted flowers; plush
squares had their day, and have gone
the way of all ephemeral fancies, whilst
colored satin cloths are now tabooed
Once more pure white linen is visible on
our tables, but, as we must have novelty,
