F are doleful. Five days of rain

needs to answer old letters,
pay bills and clear out glory
holes. What then?
"How would a drive In the mud do In
our raincoats?" quoth M .
"Fine," say I. "Where shall we go?"
"Up the railroad track, to see If we
can find any of the pink plilox In the
meadows, and on to the Hazel Dell
nursery."
The, high road which leads west of
Florence from the Calhoun turnpike, is
quite different from the Loop road. It
follows a wide draw In the hills, and
much of the land is In grass pasture,
wholly without trees. The flowers one
finds are different and the birds are the
kind that like the fence posts and wires,
and a little more open and publlo life. In
the drizzle on this Sunday morning each
fence - post seemed to harbor its little
Dickclssel, with a black tie and yellow
breast, singing Its persistent song "See,
see Dick, Dlcli Clssel, ClBsel." They
were fluffed up, vastly enjoying their
free baths. There were dozens of gold
finches darting about, the brilliant yel
low of their bodies In contract with the
black wings, catching one's eye. You
don't have to hunt for a goldfinch. The
birds with decided markings are easy to
determine. It is when the count reaches
about fifty that the trouble begins. The
different kinds of sparrows, vlreos, fly
catchers and warblers are very puzzling.
It was only a few days ago that I
finally succeeded In really observing a
crested fly catcher. It had the grace not
to perch against the light and to remain
still for several seconds. It was a per
fectly delightful little fellow! I had
heard its whistle for several days and
knew it was strange, but had stalked It
In vain.
The pink phlox is much more plentiful
this year than for several seasons past.
We were able to dig some fine speci
mens along the roadside for transplant
ing. Perhaps the color should not be
called pink, it Is nearer cerise and scat
tered through the green grass in tho
meadows it presents a moat lovely sight
This pblox likes tbe hot sun, In contrast
to Its sister, the bluo phlox, which seeks
a shudy spot In the woods. Along this
road there are the prettiest groups of
spider-lilies, in bright blues and purples.
Occasionally the Indian puccocn signals
with its vivid orange colored blossoms.
The Indians used this root, which Is
stained red, In their dyeing. There Is a
moBt charming little pink and white
creeping convolvulus, which keeps close
to the banks and scrambles over the
ground by the wayside.
As we drove along, I said: "Did '
used to be deaf and blind? We certainly
haven't always seen and heard as we
do now!"
The Hazel Dell nursery Is a quaint
and lovely spot. Through two heavy
wooden gates one peeps on over a small
wooden bridge which spans a clear little
stream fed from springs, past several
sheds, and under an arch of enormous
forest trees, "first growth." At the
sides of the driveway are mammoth Iliac
and syrlnga bushes, huge beds of lilies
and Iris, all in a sort of tangle and
thicket; cared for Just enough to keep it
from looking neglected, and hot enough
to spoil the natural arrangement. There
Is a great deal of shade and shelter,
nothing becomes wind-whipped or sun
burned. At the house we stop and get
out, and walk about, and buy a plant or
two; thin time a bleeding heart to send
to a Maryland friend to put in her gar
dena symbol of the sadness she left
behind her when she gave tip her Ne
braska garden plot.
We would like to have kept on over
the long bridge and up the hill to the
plateau where the bay fields begin, and
a certain very pretty peony farm flour
ishes, but old Charlie's birthdays run
Into the middle twenties and he has to
be driven with something thst even tran
scends discretion. So we turn our faces
homeward and Stan the fields for some
new flower.
A drive In the mud and rain, with an
old horse and old buggy and old clothes
and, most necessary of all, a good
comrade, rsn be a most plessursble ex
perience. M. L.
