QUIET CORNER

Rivalry by the elms

HERE is a corner where the

THER

cottage garden escapes into the field, without a fence or post to mark the boundary.

A blending of the cultivated and the wild, with their eternal struggle for suprenney, taken place beneath the shade of the tall cima.

On the old tree stump, amid the planted arabis and stonecrop,

single campion from the fielda has taken root, and just beneath it are thick clustern of black- hooded, white-stemmed fungi which the rain has conjured from the rotting bark.

A purple foxglove stands up in rivalry with the dark blue spikes of monkshood, and great enriet poppies shine above the fangled green of jack-by-the- hedge and goosegraka,

The most powerful forces of the wild are the massed ranks of nettles, which stretch field- wards in battalions and have 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 idea all the same, and it every holiday- maker would behave as if the country' welfare depended on him alone, it would make holidays more pleasant.

1 no one jostled and pushed, there would be no josling 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 rend printed instructions, plenty of ilme instead of leaving it to the last minute, there would be less disappointments, missed trains and lost fuggage.

On Holiday

If everyone remembered that other people were on holiday:,other people needed seats in the train; other people wanted to get the best out of their raro Jelsure; other people had the same right to the road, the bench and the restaurant, there would be an atmo- sphere of friendliness which is too often lacking.

There is an old story of a lady who had never been abroad before, who ex- clalined on the bout drew in. "Oh, look

at all those foreigners on the quay." She was quite indignant when

it was pointed out to hcr that she was

the foreigner. We have a habit of nay- Ing that we hate going where there are people, forgetting that we ourselves are people.

Sometimes we think it doesn't matter what we do because "no one knows-15." Hence the little circles who keep a gramophone or radio golny, or scream at the top of their vokes, or aing loudly at all hours.

Party Spirit

If everyone sang or yelled or played all the time, what a misery the place would be. Then why be the ones to do It?

Laws can only deal with people in the mass, it's so much easier to deal with individuntx If every person put old papers, empty cartons, cigaretle ends into their own bag or a proper receptacle there would not be those millions of bits of litter.

If everyone refrained from making unmannered noises or asking un-necès- sary questions, officials would not be so harassed, and could give help where it was needed,

Our mothers who, after curling our hair and tying our sashes, gave a n parting warning to "behayo nicely." were sensible. They knew that parties are sollt when people don't "behave."

LEFT OVERS

have often wondered why the expression "Left-Overs" always seems to ring knell in the kitchen.

Why this lack of ingenuity? Why has long the consecrated these un- appetising dishes to our inevitable distaste?
