LYING IN THE SUN
T\KAR AXXK SHI.IM.iKY,—I'm lying in the sunshine on top of a load of hay. A black and white ball of fur nestles beside me purring with ecstasy. It is my pussy. We called him Jimmy w hen lie was "a kitten, but now lie is known merely as "Mack and White.' He isn't an aristocratic Persian, hut lie is a dear all the same. On the ground. Blaze, our dog. wags his tail and looks at me pathetically. He'd like to be up here, too. Two calves behind the load of hay calmly
pull out wisps and chew contentedly. They are pretty little brown and white things. Further over in the paddock several calves lie in the sunshine, blinking la/.ilv. Thero arc a few lacy clouds in the sky. Ear away the blue mountains are outlined sharply against the soft blue of the sky. In the garden around tho house, pretty golden dallies sway gently in the breeze. I read somewhere about a day "soaked in loveliness." It must have heeti a dav like to-day. I would love to lie here for a long time, but I can't. I must go down and take pussy with me. sincere friend, Edna Hines, hlstow.
