~ RUTH CAMERON

Do you ever see trees2
Really see" I mean. not merely
look at
It seems to me that trees are one of
the wonderfully lovely things in ma
ture, whose beauty few Of us appre-
ciate.
So many people confine their ad-
miration and enjoyments to the con-
ventional. They rave ABOUT sunsets
and sUnrises-if they ever get up early
to see them=and flowers and vast
mires such things. But equally Won
derful. though less obvious and con-
ventional beauties, such as an indi-
vidual tree, for instance. or wonder
full cloud effect. they never notice at
all
How many men and women there
are who couldn't tell you what kind Of
trees they pass on their way down
town or to work, or even what kind OF
trees grow in front Of their homes
They just haven't thought them worth
looking at
And yet, can you think of anything
more lovely than a white birch tree
standing slim and tall and straight,
like a beautiful young girl. with every
leaf a quivering in the wind ike the
ments?
Can you think of anything more
gratifying to the eye than the SYM
metry of a perfectly synm etrical ma
pie?
Can you think Of any mere inspiring
symbol of majesty and stateliness and
dignity than towering pine or fir or
a giant redwood tree?
Do you know any better example

of exquisite grace than a young will
low?
A perfect tree seems te me one of
the most wonderful things that God
ever made.
There used to be a marvelously per-
feet maple tree in my line of vision
from my study window. 1t lowered
well above the three-s6ory house it
stood beside, and when / was tired it
was a real rest to me to watch It toss
blue of the sky. I think almost every
one in the neighbodhood loved that
tree.
Eight months ago a new owner Of
the property chopped that maple down
because 1T Uttered up the yard too
much"
I almost turned socialist the day
that tree was slain, in my rebellion
against a system that makes it possible
for a man who could not appreciate
that beauty to own and destroy it.
Trees seem to me more individual
and human than anything else in na-
ture. No wonder the old Saxons en-
dowed them with souls aud worshiped
them. Isn't it almost impossible to
think that that tall elm tree that has
grown up with your family and now
stands on stately guard over your
house, or that gnarle alLle tree that
has welcomed two generations OF
clambering youngsters into IFS rheu-
matte old arms has no individuality
1t seems SO to me.
Teach your children to know the diff
ferent kinds Of trees, teach them to
realize that trees are quite as lovely as
flowers. get them interested in these
beautiful mute servants of mans COM
fort and pleasure, and you will have
given them a lifelong heritage of in
terest and enjoyment.
