silver bells, needs is Mistress Mary,
quite contrary, in one Of these fetching
garden smocks. Can you picture any
thing more charming than a bright
eyed girl in blue smock, white hat,
skirt and shoes, among the roses in an
old garden! Perchance, there is
woven wicker basket on a cane, stuck
in the ground to hold the posies, and a
few plant-sticks, with parrots, cardinals
and bluebirds, perched on top, scattered
among the flowers to make the picture
painted by nature quite complete. just
looking at yellow linen smock, with
flowered cretonne collar, hat and skirt
to match, brings to mind an old-fash-
toned garden with its straight rows of
bachelor buttons, lady slippers, and
hollyhocks. So it goes that there is a
smock for every garden, and no garden
is complete without one.
Watching passing events, the shop
keeper concludes that all the world is
garden, and straightway fills his
window with giddy wheelbarrows all
painted with flowers; green basket kits
with English tools; smocks, aprons and

So thinks the girl who gathers up her
gaily painted sprinkling pot, her shears

trudges off to the garden to enjoy an

one might almost call it, wherein the
artistic finds expression in parapher-

The shops abound with gay impor-

tempt those who tarry within the gar

are enough to turn one to rakes, spades,
and garden baskets. I am told the fad
