Have you written anything yet?' he OLE

Only the first sentence. You see I must
go slowly and be very careful indeed.
What have you said?'
She held her paper before her at a dis

There is only one thing which mfgbt in

The Sciliy Islands.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
letter written by a New York artist
who is painting there gives an enthusiastic
description of the Scilly Islands, which
have, so far, been comparatively unknown
TO American tourists. Even the English
have been slow In realizing the charm of
the islands near their own shores, but
it seems that this spring many artists have
gone to ''daffodil land" and the winter ex-
hibitions will probably be flood ID with pic
lures of the island. Daffodils have always
grown in great profuson in the Scilly ISL
ards. February and March are the height
of their blossoming time, and. to quote the
artists letter:
The whole land is a blazing sea of bril-
liant yellow daffOGils. surging up upon gray
rocks and falling back in foam-bu3Sts of
white narCissus. Even The tulip fields in
Holland don't give such generous effects Of
color You should stand on one of the lit
tie hills here and look across the sunlit
fields if you want to the loveiest things
in the world: yet sometimes l think the
fower-drifted land is more beautiful under
moonlight than in the daytime; and, day
time or nighttime the air is scented as
though it blew straight from Araby the
blest."
