Across the Editor's Desk

ONE of the most heart-warming experiences I ever had came unexpectedly the other day when a young man 28 years old walked into my office with the story of a little home he had just finished, doing all the carpenter work and decorating with his own hands, out of office hours.

THE Diary OF A PLAIN DIRT GARDENER

What a happy reunion I had this morning up and down the paths before breakfast, as, notebook in hand, I darted here and yon. My old friends the peonies were back once more-- sweet Georgiana Shaylor and mysterious Lady Alexandra Duff and dependable Felix Crousse, and the aristocratic Nina Secor and royal Alice Harding and somewhat frowzy but likeable Marguerite Gerard.

IT'S News TO ME!

"A NEW CAR," says Nick, "should have a good waxing. Then bring on your sun, rain, and elements!" In the sketch you see him giving our not-so-new car the whole works-- a combined auto cleaner and polish, enamel for the rust spots, and he finishes with a wax.

He Got His Start With a Weed Garden

EVERY well-regulated novel of English country life has in it a Scotch Gardener. He talks with a burr, is as prickly as his native thistle, and is made entirely of oatmeal and the songs of Robbie Burns. In Utopia and the Blessed Isles, you realize half the poets, half the beverages, and all the gardeners, surely must be Scotch.

ONE Slip LEADS TO ANOTHER

SLIP-COVERS answer many problems. Take our Cogswell chair, for instance! Because every member of the family finds it comfortable, it has a way of becoming the shabbiest in our living-room. Yet not one of us would part with it! So what to do to keep it looking trim? We use a slip-cover, of course.

Call It A Place of Mellow Beauty

AFTER a picnic dinner we settled ourselves in low-hung canvas chairs, feet cushioned in the grass. The moon came up before long. There was a cool, fragrant little breeze blowing, the soft splash of water, a stirring among the leaves in the green wall behind us. We were only a mile from the sweltering city, only a scant hundred feet from an arterial highway, yet we were apparently as removed from the rest of the world as if we'd been in the Vale of Cashmir or in far Cathay.

UNOBTRUSIVELY Government investigators wandered into many a grocery store in Detroit, Memphis, and Des Moines. They bought cans of vegetables, cans of fruits-- some bearing the brands and labels of great national advertisers, some bearing labels less well known.

"Up WITH your feet, Jimmy! Now let's squeeze this suitcase in there on end. And, sister, if you'll move close to Jimmy, we'll tuck the hat box in beside you. Just think, we're driving all the way to Washington and it's almost 1,200 miles. Won't that be fun?"

On a map of the country the children crossed off the states from which they had seen license plates. It was one of many impromptu pastimes involving the cars on the highway-- their makes, numbers, colors, and such. Finally, Oregon, Maine, and Mississippi were the only ones missing from our collection.

This Dusty World

DUST may seem at first sight to be very homely, prosaic, and uninteresting, connected with maps, dust-cloths, suction sweepers, brooms, and dirt roads in summer. "Dust and dirt"-- to most of us they mean simply "matter out of place."

The Bulbs That Bloom in the Fall, Tra-La

ARE you one of those blue Monday persons? I am, too, and I don't feel ashamed of it, either! It's not because we've eaten too much on Sunday, or exercised too little. Certainly we don't dread the especially busy day that comes at the beginning of the week-- either in office or home. It's something more than that, I think. It's because Saturday is our next day of escape into the sun and outdoor living, and Saturday is very far away, indeed.

A Random Flag Walk

ONE evening I was pondering the problem of making a random-patterned walk. It was to be a long one and the estimated cost of any sort of flat stone seemed prohibitive, not to mention the labor and waste of breaking stones into the desired shapes for patterning.

ALONG THE Garden Path

JUNE brings most of us more flowers than we have at any other season of the year, which means that we have at our fingertips an abundance of flower colors, forms, and textures. Of all the months, this is the least extravagant in which to practice the flower-arrangement inspirations of the year.
