SEYMOUR SQUARE

TO THE EDITOR

s ' Sir-,—r should like to ask why anybody wants to clear away the hedges round the only little miserable refuge there is in Blenheim. Unfortunately, the present macrocarpa one is on the by-bye. But fancy this square, on a windy day, with no shelter! I'went there to-day to meditate and to smoke, since I did not care to be where-^—well, say, talk and yarns are going on. What did I see? Youngsters running all over the place and playing "h-—for-leather," pulling leaves and branches off the trees; three women sitting down, yarning—to whom, I' presume, these youngsters belonged—but never stopping them. What a pity! Now, why not try or start to grow a really good hedge—a New Zealand one ? We have a beautiful sample at the northwest corner. W. M. STAGE.
