More About Big Claw.
If what I do seems strange to you
Remember the reverse Is true.
Big Claw, the Lobster.

There is nothing really strange in
the world. 1t is all in the point of
view. 1t may seem strange to you
that a lobster can get out OF his shell
but it isn't at all strange to the
lobster, or to the other people of the
sea who are his neighbors. 1t prob.
ably would seem just as strange for
the lobster to see you walking on two
legs. That's why say there is moth

At every turn one meets little original
and charming bits, each of which is
completely fascinating In itself and
helps the whole garden toward a sat

One pleasing touch is found In a
hagstone- paved corner close to the old
gray wall of rough plaster. There is
only the dark green of foliage against
the gray, and the gardener knew a
touch of color was needed. He sup
piled it with this graceful oil jar of
buff -colored pottery glazed in tur-
