are velvety green, and Mrs. Red
breast is building her summer home
in the apple tree where by and by
when the blossoms are heavy on the
bough, there will be little speckled
eggs in the nest.

bit peered at me with startled eyes,
and not far away 1 could hear the
lowing of the cattle, just turned out

when they bring in the tin pals
filled with foaming milk, and to-

cream on my strawberries for break

I remember Lottie's and my first

were carried away by the strange
messages of nature. We pursued
the little frogs, climbed up into the
trees to peer at the birds nests,
went berry hunting. and oh! for the
wonders of the farmyardl
Lottie was especially fascinated

Farmer Butterheld's fence and stop

That's a very nice COW you have,
Mr.. Butterheld-is it lady COW or

You can imagine how wonderful
it seems after being shut up in a
studio and working as hard as we
have to work to be in the country
once more, especially now that the
hills and dales are all tricked out in
their early spring hnery.
And now l must stop awhile, for
here comes a little old farmer lady,
