GARDEN URGE
SOME fine morning you're sure to have this idea. Parents and such-like will probably offer you that nice shady corner under the big tree where, as Father knows to his cost, absolutely nothing will grow. Father may know, also to his cost, that you'll have forgotten all about the seeds long before they begin to come up—in which cose it doesn't matter whether they come up or not. So, if you cannot convince yourself that you will be as interested in that garden six months hence as you are this fine morning, don't take up gardening. But if you are convinced, then refuse, gently but firmly, to be fobbed off with the shady corner. —J. R. EVANS, in “The Junior Week-End Book.''
