The Daintiness of England.

England in fine weather, like Its inhab-
itants when III happy circumstances, has
singular look Of newness and good
breeding, says Vernon Lee In the At
lantic. Everything is swept and gar
nished, like the interior of daintily kept
house. The hop poles make pale green
pattern on the violet plowed ground.
In the streams the long willow like weeds
are combed out and starred with jasmine
looking blossoms. Fish dart like ghosts
In the sunlit bright golden water. And
then the gardens Of the old cottages
cottages, some of them, of the time Of
Elizabeth, nay, almost of the Black
Prince, with scalloped weather tiles of
delicate peach bloom color, and brilliant
whitewashed walls. against which stand
out geraniums and pink and white NAL
lows and even an exquisite japanese lily.
What dainty prosperity!
And Enthusiastically English through
the midst of it runs the past, in the shape
of an old Roman highway. You can still
see slabs of it, along the downs, among
immense nut laden beeches, past duck
ponds and haystacks. What q strange
mixture of a very present present with
past which seems scarcely past Mt all!
