My Dear Adele-Here we are in our
new home in this quaint New England
town, which | think can have changed
very little in the last 200 years. The
people who lived in 1t then were doubt
less well to do. for there are many
places which were at that time quite
imposing Our house is built on the
street. with terrace garden in the
rear, and the place on one side is much
the same. Everything smacks Of the
seventeenth or eighteenth century.
am glad that we have taken posses
sion before the flower planting season,
for am sure / shall be devoted to the
old fashioned garden. l shall secure
the services Of man to spade up the
beds for me. but / shall do all the rest
of the work myself. You should see
how artifcially they are laid out.
every one inclosed in a narrow border.
Besides, there are low hedges and
dwarf trees cut in shapes that remind
one of the present cubist pictures.
While our garden has been long neg
lected. the one beside it has been well
kept up. Everything there is as trim
as if Miss Dorothy Somebody In the
quaint costume of two centuries ago
was still caring for it. Some one doubt
less lives there who cares for flowers
for, though spring has scarcely arrived,
/ can see that when the season comes
l shall look out upon a delightful
scene. Your loving RUTH.

right in saying that the words are the

I have learned something about our
next door neighbor. They say he is
peculiar, preferring to live alone in the
house he has inherited from long
line of ancestors. He neither goes
out into company nor entertains This
is strange in man who cannot be
more than thirty years old. They say
he loves only two things in the world
his library and his garden. What a
tempta ton for me to make him love
a third thing. which is human-a
temptation to which l have already
yielded
| must attack him through his taste
for flowers since ! know nothing of
books. Indeed. think | shall keep
away from him, fearing to reveal my
shallowness until | shall have effect
ed an entrance to his favor through
his plants. 1 have already two men
digging up my beds preparatory to the
siege ] am about to lay to his heart
He little thinks that there is one next
door to him who is planning to batter
down the old fashioned high brick wall
that protects him and his garden from
us and ours and that my siege guns
will be roses and lilies and geraniums
and peonies But must be careful
not to let him come near me until
have effected this breach. What would
/ do If he were to begin to talk to ME
before | had excited an interest
through our both loving the same
thing? What would say if he should
speak about the relation between the
edict of Nantes and the Thirty Years
war? The only war | am interested
in is the war of the roses which pro-
pose to wage myself.
