QUIET CORNER
Rivalry by the elms
THERE la a corner where the Leottage garden escupen Into the field, without a fence or post to mark the boundary.
Λ
blending of the cultivated and the wild, with their eternal struggle for supremacy, takes place beneath the shade of the inil cims.
On the old tree stump, amid the planted arabis and stonecrop, a single campion from the fields has taken root, and just beneath are thick clusters of black- fungi white-stemmed honded, which the rhin has conjured from the rotting bark.
A purple foxglove stands up in rivalry with the dark blue Epikes of monkshood, and great scarlet poppies shine above the tangled green of jack-by-the- hedge and goosegrass,
The most powerful forces of the wild are the massed ranks uf nettles, which stretch feld- have wards in battalions and already crept beyond the elm- trunks in their engulfing march upon the garden.

I remember a gloomy little hymn which enjoined me to live each day as though it were my last. Not a bad idra all the same, and if every holiday- maker would behave as if the country's welfare depended on him alone, it would make holidays more pleasant.
If no one Josiled and pushed, there would be to jostling crowds: If no one got flurried and heated, there would be no panic.
If everyone tried to save trouble. looked up trains, remembered labels, allowed read printed Instructions, plenty of me instead of leaving it to the last minute, there would be less disappointments, miased trains and lost luggage.
On Holiday
If everyone remembered that other Drople were on holiday; other people nerded seats in the train; other people wanted to get the best out of their rare leisure; other people had the same right to the road, the beach and the restaurant, there would be an atmo- sphere of friendliness which is too oltru lacking.

Sometimes we think it doesn't matter what we do because " no one knows 115." Hence the tle rireles who keep a gramophone or radio going, or scream at the top of their volees, or sing loudly Rt all hours.

If everyone refrained from making unmannered noises or asking un-neces sary questions, oficials would not be so harassed, and could give help where it was needed.
Our mother who, after urling our hair and tying our sashes, gave us a parting warning to "behave nicely." were sensible. They knew that parties are spoilt when people don't "behave."

LEFT OVERS

Why this lack of Ingenuity? Why lins long use consecrated these un- appetising dishes to our Inevitable distaste?
