The cement works nearby bad removed from this spot thousands of tons of sand and shale for utilie tion in the manufacture of cement, and it would be hard to eon- coive of a more desolate spot than these dry, grey acres which looked dead beyond resuscitation. Not a blade of press grow there, not a trickle; of water laved the gaping thirstiness of it, not a bird sent Its note across Ito waste, even the un- faetidious crows disdainfully ignored t H. A hundred feet above It the woods NW were green enough, and forest flow- ers thrived in fragrant profusion, but no wind -wafted seeds could take root in the dry sand and clay of the mons- trous grave; they withered ant died for want of sustenance, and because of the charm of the wooded glades rnbovo, the excavation looked all the more incongruous and unsightly.

A huge pinnacle of •rock that stood in the centreof the barren acres was banked with riab soil, while the same soli was planed in all of Its holes and crannies. Rock. etalrways were Milt from .the rim of excavation down into the place itself, a hundred walks, and by-paths and stretches of lawn were snapped out, and great beds made. Rustle bridges were built across the lake, and the stream Itself, and then the seeding and planting began. Scores of men were employed In the first stages of the work, and expert landscape garde- ners, for not only was the excava- tion to be made into a great sunken garden, but the ground above, which had been cleared, was to be laid out in lawns, a rose -garden,, a tea-gar- den, and a combination of Japanese and fairy garden. More little streams from the woods were moved into this upper garden and nourished from underground pipes, to send up rain- bow founteens here and there, Ave- nues of lsawthorns and other orna- mental trees were planted and a thousand feet or moreof pergolas hurt. A large tea -house and a half a score of other little summer- houses, all of the most artistically rustic design, were /mattered throughout the different gardens, and every flower and shrub that grows found its home there. The pergolas were hung with climbing roses, the tea. -house graecd in clematis and Wistaria, and each little summer- bouse had Its Awn individual garment of colour.

Then indeed, one marvels at one's own sensate resources, for one's whole being is stirred to unimagined ecstasy at what Ilea before one!
