The girl "Three weeks more! drew the words out Yes, only three weeks," said Vernon. And then we adjourn sine die. The Joint resolution fixes the date for June second." Amelia said nothing.

"Why not? asked Vernon. "Other members have tlieir wives with them some of them," he qualified, thinking how few of the members cared to have their wives with them during the session. "What could one do In Springfield, pray?" Amelia demanded. "Go to the legislative hops, I suppose? And dance reels with farmers and West side politicians!" She almost sniffed her disgust. Why, dearest," Vernon pleaded, you do them a great Injustice. Some of them are really of the best people; the society in Springfield Is excellent.

The planting of trees in streets-anpublic places Is a sure means of Increasing the healthfulneBS of a town, as well as adding to its beauty. But. says a writer In Building World,, not all trees are suitable for town planting; and in order to Insure success, a nursery In which to grow the selected trees should be established in the neighborhood. London appears to be well provided In thle respect. The London county council maintain ltsi own nurseries, and large tracts of ground at Avery II111 are reserved for rearing of young trees, whose ultimate destinations are the various parks and public gardens of Reciprocity.
