Sounds And Smnelis In The Country lnavwriting of the days of my grandparents there are one or two things which I should like to stress, since they belong to those times and have passed away so completely. The first was the lovely smell which was inherent in the hedg-erows dr'ap- L-d with haw;ýthorn and honey- sueile, and ln the verges lined wvith hug-e docks, burdocks, tea- sels, hogweed and wild prnp to say niothlingi, of campions, corn- f1lowrers and poppies. This'was mixed withi the gritty dust of the roads, and sweat of hor-ses and Stockholmn tar.' Then there were the gardens. In grandmother's case, as yýou might expect, it was Elizabethanr in character. Little sanded paths ran here, and there between low box borders, like a knot garden, and 'rivalled one in fragrance and atmosphere. In high sum- mer the hollyhoc:ks grew so tal that they almosçt turned into the bedroomi Windows. A n di, o,f course,' there was a fuichija. When the sun shone on this it loosened a gentle perfume iL-which lingeirs la the mnemory even now, Grandmother's neigh1-bour, an- ether Barham, was a g 'ardEnjer- coachman at the rectoryý, and he weInt in for pansies, whýihalso were grown in littie beds r in.ged with, box.
