time " when ice and snow, unfriendly turned all 

 familiar places." But the ga^ronomic piece de 

 resistance was a hard, ^ale loaf of bread coated 

 with melted suet and fastened good and tight in a 

 Winter bird-food holder. 



^ All the ripened flower seeds were gathered and 

 placed in small labeled envelopes to be planted in 

 the Spring. Don't you think this adorable work 

 for children? 



^ I wish every child could enjoy such absorbingly 

 happy, intere^ing and in^rucTtive days as did 

 Theodore, Richard, Vi(5tor and Elizabeth within 

 their golden-flowered hedge.
