IN PLACE OF EMcHANTMENT
Charming Word Picture Of Old World
Garden Under the Rays Of the
Full Moon.

That evening was the evening of the
full moon. The garden was an en-
'chanted place where all the flowers
seemed white. The lilies, the daphnes.
the orange blossom. the white stocks.
the white pinks. the white roses-you
could see these as plainly as in the
daytime; but the colored flowers ex-
listed only as fragrance.
The three younger women sat on
the low wall at the end of the top gar
den after dinner. Rose little apart
from the others, and watched the enor-
nous moon moving slowly over the
place where Shelley had lived
just hundred years before. The sea
Quivered along the path Of the moon.
The stars winked and trembled. The
mountains were misty blue outlines,
with little clusters Of lights shining
through from little clusters of homes.
In the gardens the plants stood quite
still, straight and unstirred by the
smallest rifle of air.-From "The En-
chanted April"
