 You cannot explain ycar love for Mi. Barrie as you may explain your liking for Dickens, your loyalty to George Eliot. your admiration for Hardy. your affec- ton for Stevenson. For Mir. Barrie is q better novel than any of the stories or plays he has ever written. We know nothing directly of his personality. but there he is fully in what he gives to hls readers, You love him. if one may try to explain 1t. for his sincerity. his sym pathetic expression, his wholesome i,l- terest in life, his delicious humorous sense. and the noble optimism of his nature
 The Minor Singer sings his song fully as sincerely as he who sits in the high courts of the Gods. Some sing for all time, for they are seated high; they sing for audiences that may come up the wheel of time in the long days of the hereafter. The Minor Singer sings for us. and only for us. you and me; ne feels himself near us: the future may be beyond his ken. but he is not trou- bled by his limitations. It is for rhe good cheer of the men and women of his day that he sings. and If it be a good song, as are all Mir. Barrie's, all hail to him.

Country. Lifa in America.

The 8aruenln8 numDeF or CouuIry IDe in America makes everybody want to start afieId for fresh flowers.
 Down in Alabama the tiny blunts 1re surely now turning their sky blue stars upward and tinting all the new springing grass with their cerulean hue.
 And the blue b.. Ss, know, are dashing down in dockg over the buouIng peach trees and on to the fresh plowed earth.
 The illustration of Country Life is wholly done by photography and shows to what perfection this art has reached. Ellen Watson writes of her Garden of Sweet Herbs. M. c. Kanis tells: How to Cultivate and Preserve Sweet Herbs.
 Flowers for Every Place and Purpose tells how to make waste places beauti- full. The Gladiolus and How to Grow It, tells of wonderful results of beauty that can be obtained from the culture of that old time and now almost forgotten flow CT.

The cost is very smalI-a halliday from the carpenter and a dol AoA Q WOA NAA OA AOOlS AIOIkt t0C the care is nothing. The interesting group of wild-fowers which can be raised by the aid of the pump will be quite dIf- ferent from the usual row of dusty ger aniums and the struggling nasturtiums essayed by the average woman with a bit of yard.
 A small catch-basin should be paved with pebble or broken bits of marble, the stones rammed well down into the turf This basin helps to spread out and dis tribute the water. The ordinary daily use of the pump for domestic purposes Is quite sufficient to keep a piece of ground ten feet square in a damp condition.
 A small garden of this kind may be started with such plants as cardinal flow CTS. purple gentians. blue flags. Japanese umbrella plants, water sunfiowers, myo- sotis or forget-me-nots. violets, marsh marigolds, and swamp malIows. These furnish succession of blooms for many weeks.

The Between-Season Hat.

The hat of white felt really seems to
fill in the gap between summer and au-
tumn most fashionably, and at the same
time most logically. The new shapes in
these are more or less upon the sailor
order. Not that this may be taken to
mean monoGtony for there are more
shapes and varieties built upon the
sailor block than one could at first i'm
agine. The summer shapes had a ten
dency to be wider from side to side;
while the autumn productions lean to
larger crowns, with the longer line run
ming Just the other way.
And the crowns are shown in such
variety Of style that the ordinary
round crown seems tame and monot-
crowns shaped like a fatiron, others
with diamond points,; some shaped like
the base of a sugarloaf with a fiat top,
and others with top rounded off like

In consonance with that dictum of
fashion which demands some touch of
brilliant coloring with the white cos
have this little touch deftly introduced.
In place Of the flowers Of the sum-
mer time one finds the new plumes. o.
trich plumes are, of course, out of the
question upon this style Of hat, but the
soft coque plumes, with feathers that
stir with every passing breeze, and the
hackle plumes, with their closer, shorter
feathering, are SO graceful that one
could not desire -prettier or, more

pressed in the plume, and the rest of
the hat is left in white. The smoked
