Many women, even if they do not become as expert as Lady London- derry, are studying the art of dry- ing flowers and herbs. Sweet mar forum is among the herbs they have preserved in this way for winter, and are using at all season in thoir! soups and stuffings.

Herb borders look charming in an old English garden, as if they were there by right.
