The coal field route find longer by at least i've miles, and much heavier grade and larger amount of heavier work.

NO BOUNDARIES AT ALL.

One Of the charms of my favorite working
place is that it has cramping boundaries, but
stretches away on either side of me- wide and free,
until it reaches what in summer is a border OF
fresh emerald green and in winter reddish
brown hue. Its roof is vast blue dome which
during the day is shining and clear, but in tho
jewels in the deep blue. This wonderful working
place Of mine is simply the wide and boundless
outdoors. There is sort Of exhilaration about
working outside in the fresh air and sunshine
not to be found about my duties within the en-
circing walls of the house. Then watching the
works of mother nature, manifested in the slowly
moving clouds and various winds, and the growth
and development of every green thing of sum-
something myself. Mary Devaney,
