LiI e for Imany of us would be very blealc and barren if we had no books. Some books bind us Vo themn in deep affection. We neyer want Vo be witbout tbem--even tbough they may be noV re-read except at long intervals. Their very presence in our bookshelves is cornforting Vo us. We lend them grudgingly. One such book on my shelves is I'Durnb Fox- glove," by Annie Trumbll Slosson. I do noV know mucb about the writ- er. She is o! New England origin, and she writes o! New England and New England people. I bave three of ber books, and if I knew the titles of others I sbould try Vo pos- sess thern. JC K "*Dumb Foxglove" is made up o! a number of short stories. Here is how the book begins: Al! the golden October day we had been driving leisurely along through the Green Mountain country. Everything was gold- en that faîl. IV bad been a very dry season, and the leaves up- on the maples and other forest trees, instead of ripening into brillianV hues of crirnson and scarlet, had aIl taken on ints o! yellow. Tben, wben the aut- umin winds arose, suddenly the wbole eartb was carpeted, wltb saffron, daffodil, amber and gold-a tbick sof t rustling car- pet, and for days our borses trod upon it and our wagon wbeels rolled over and through it. So the chapter went on. I arn responsive Vo the appeal o! such pictures o! rural beauty and peace. Their ranquility soothes me, a city- dweller. Tbey take me away from man-made highways o! cernent and stone, away frorn the noise and ug- liness of crowded communities, away from artificialities. JCKx Let me continue copyIng from this f irst chapter of Mrs. Slosson's book: Goldenrod. was massed by the roadside in tints Vo match every shade o! our leaf y carpet, rnak- ing for It a gorgeous border of gold colour, and asters contrast- cd or barmonized. with their hues o! mauve. blue, purple, lavender and white. The twist- ed orchid, or lady's tresses, with its spike o! frosted white belîs, smelling o! bitter alrnonds, clustered thickly in danp, spots along the roadside; Joe Pye weed, or pink boneset, stcod stiffly erect, with flat-Vopped clusters of dull-pink feathery blossorns, and sometirnes a be- lated St. Jobn's-wort addcd its yellowVr o the prevailing bright- ness. The witch-hazel bore on le a fle s s brown boughs its strange flowers of straw colour with their sickly sweet odour; and, most abundant o! aIl, grew, ahl along our way. the dark- blue closed gentian. There were rnany berrnes! The short, thick spike which jack- in-the-pulpit wears; the sap- phire-blue bear-plums; those of translucent garnet growing like a bunch o! ripe currants on the little sirnilacina; the crirnson fruit o! Vwisted-stalk, hanging singly on slender sterns; the mountain-bolly's r os y r ed; moose-berries; buncb-bernies; the red cobosh and the white, the last like beads o! white enarnel strung upon red coral stalks--all these we saw and gathercd ere the day ended. Can you imagine anytbing more iyllic than the slow journey-tbe nburricd progress througb the mountain country beautified by the uprerne ArtisV o! the universe? J CK I should like Vo tell about every ýtory in this most enjoyable book, :ut that rnay not be. But there Is ne story, "~Davy's Christmnas," hi.ch seerns appropriate for this sason. Davy, a littIe lad, is made Vo tell ie story birnself. Davy's father ind mother and a baby brother had ,oe frorn the East Vo the West- ýe godless West. Wben Cbristrna- as approacbing, Davy wanted Vo iave a Christmnas party. and he bad nvited the boys and girls of the mntryside about Vhem. and also xce older fol1k, Vo corne Vo their rrnstead on Christmnas Eve.

On the 23rd of December the >rne and barn of Davy's parents cre burned down. The only hab- tation lcft was the original log- aim. now used as a cow-stable.

The recited story of thel first Christmas, the singrng, the mother and the babe. the manger- ail were an unrehearsed and unin- tended drama of the Nativity. Men and women-sýoiled and godless and rough-had childhood memories en- gulfing them, and they wept bonest tears. Davy ends his story so- Seems if there ain't much more to tell. To this day I don't get iV through my head wby they begun to have Christmases themselves, after that, in And- erson. If I'd a' carried out my plan. and had tree and ail, I could see how it corne about.

JC x I close this contribution Vo The Statesman with another ex tract from 'Dumb Foxglove"-a passage wbich, I hope, will help some of my readers to find both loy and peace in their present place of resiclence, sbould their habitation be amid fields and woods. wbere bubbling brooks sing sweet and low. and where birds rear their young In con- fidence, and wbere in winter Nature sleeps under a snowy blanket, rest- ing for the Spring's glad awakening. From the hour wben I took the child into My arms, out of whose clasp the mother had just slipped away quietly and forever, the little girl was ahl the world to me. There was a strange and wonderful sym-* patby between us Vwo. She understood me always when no one else could, and she told me so. We lived so quietly, far from the busy world, in the very heart of Nature, among trees and hilîs. and streams, with birds and flowers and wild f ree tbings. and we did flot talk c1much. When I beld ber close V o my heart and we looked out upon the shining river. Up Vo, the purpie hills, into the rosy clouds, or over Vo the dark deep forest. there was no need of words. And when there came the rushing sound of the wlnd L among the trees, the music o! the brook whose white waters ran over the stones, tbe glad song of the bobolink, or the tender strain of the thrusb, I looked into ber deep, still eyes, and felt that we were both list- ening, and tbat we both heard.
