One, .of Edna Jacques poems that tells of the old mother who wants "to rest a while and then just putter 'round,"' > -is much more my idea of Heaven. Then, with his renew- al cheque, Mr. Hugh Car- michael of Sioux Look-out, sent the nicest letter with an interesting description of life and conditions in that northern town. And this zabeth Smith of Toronto, a .renewal cheque and the me- ssage, 'May your many apparent struggles find 'eventual reward."' So to all these good people, my sincerest thankg 'and the hope that they and "many others, will send many more letters in the future. 2K 2 OK Ik OK kK This is Mr. Reavell's poem: lfere lies a poor woman 'who always was tired; She lived in a house where help was not hired. Her last words on earth were "Dear friends I am going Where washing ain't done, nor weeping nor sewing; But everything there is ex- act to my wishes, For where they don't eat there 's no washing of dish- es. I'll be where loud anthems ° 'will always be ringin;,, But having no voice, I'll be clear of the singing. Don't mourn for me now, don't mourn for menever- I'ra_going to do nothing for ever and ever.

No matter how tired I am, afew minutes with my flowers re- laxes and rests me. This year the tulips and daffodils lasted such a long time be - cause of the cool weather and now the iris are flaunting their georgeous coloring . I only have six different colors but have ordered ten more rhizomes which I hope will all be different.-And I am also exchanging several of the col- ors I have with friends so we will both benefit. My roses too, are a joy. I had quite a few last year and they all wintered beautifiilly, so this spring I invested in eight more and now I have sixteen different varieties and near-' ly all of them are budded. The Blaze and American Pillar climbins roses 'are exceptionally well budded and should be starting to bloom in a week or so. And the pan sies and forget-me-nots are as usual, a joy.
