The month of May has blossomed
win flowers, according TO tradition,
out the days have been cold and chilly
ana many Of the beautiful fetes plan
ned for the first two weeks OF this
month have had to be abandoned for
warmer quarters indoors beside blaz-
Ing log fires. Wildnowers have been
iate and the woods just now are all
h-bioom with the delicate bells of
spring blossoms. You go back to the
dcll that you know ana find them all,
beckonlng with fairy fingers and
shaking their delicate bells In the
wind
gardener" whom ! know. has
made n wonderful garden for herself
OF wildilowers. She seems TO have
magic In her touch. for down beside
u rushy pool" she has iris and Quaker
ladies' and spring beauties and all
the lovely things that you search the
woods through for when the first
subtle spell OF the Maytimc liz upon
YOU. i believe the secret OF this
wildhower bower lies in the fact that
In some wonderful fashion the Lady
OF the Garden has never let the bios
SONS for minute find that they have
been transplanted. Plenty OF the home
moss and earth went with them and
they nod and dream beside the same
blossoms that grew In tho woods
from which they came. and the little
pool trickles and whispers it's way
through the reeds with a surc-cnough
siren song to luli even the first
breath of suspicion.
Tho small gardens and the lawns of
the Richmond town houses are charm
Ing things just now. Window boxes
have biossomed proudly and all sorts
OF loneliness liz Haunting bright coll
ors TO the passer-by from tiny lawns
and borders by the way.
