PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle A ROYAL VISIT forThe newspapers have been filled the past number of weeks back with stories and photos of the royal visit. I have enjoyed them, especially those interesting little stories that show our monarch to be such a loveable char­ acter and his Queen to be most grac­ ious. Without being disrespectful I would like to make a suggestion. What a human touch it would have been to have had the Royal couple visit a typical country home? For in­ stance I believe they would have en­ joyed a day here at Laz? Meadows, in preference to a great deal of the speech-making and military display that accompanied them across Can­ ada. it would have been a relief af­ ter having to meet and shake hands for days on end with politicians across the country. Sitting here tonight crinkling my toes and smoking I have been imag­ ining. It was wild imagination and I hope you will pardon me while I tell it to you. Suppose they had called nt Lazy Meadows simply as visitors. I can just imagine Mrs. Phil being flust­ ered for a few moment and then ush­ ering them into the little front parlor while she bustled around to prepare supper for them. Soon the Queen would come out to the kitchen and take the rocker by the east window that looks down across the pasture' to. where the river runs on this side of the sugar bush. Being womanly she would ask Mrs. Phil not to fuss too much. Then while the best snowy linen was laid out and the silver and dishes that we’ve had since our wedding, were spread out, they would talk about sub­ jects such as all women know. They would discuss the little Princesses, and the strange little things that are so amusing about children. When Mrs. Phil would open the oven to see how the chicken was doing, both would peer in at the golden-brown of it and smell the tantalizing and tempt­ ing odour. Black cherries being our most precious dessert in preserves, a sealer woud be brought up from the coolness of the cellar . . . and a Queert and Iler subject would be friends on equal terms. At first as the.King and I would, walk back across the fields, I would be ill at ease, but in the way of a gen­ tleman he would lead me to talk about the thing I knew best . . . farming! First thing I knew I wolud be telling about my farm . . and of how I farm­ ed . . and my love for the work. He would ask interested questions about different Canadian ways and customs. Perhaps we would linger back by the strawberry patch where the first ber­ ries are beginning to ripen and pick off a few and while eating them go back the laneway to the river. There while watching the fish that go dart­ ing in the black depths of the hole under where the lightning blew down, the elm, we would' talk on equal terms. , i ■ ■.# Then as grey streaked the sky. in the West we would come back to the house. While the east wind sighed through the screen door, we would sit down to our meal. With Mrs. Phil apologizing for the plainness of the fare, both would express their apprec­ iation for its simpleness. They would enjoy the flaky white of the potatoes . . . and the delicious tenderness of the chicken . . . the crunchiness of the’ home-made bread . . . the taste of the radishes from our own garden . . . pure, wholesome milk from our own. cows. Yes, I believe they would en­ joy those light biscuits that were sq hot they had to be handled with care . . . and the. home-made butter that splattered on the biscuits from the knife . . . and those prime preserve's . . . the black cherries. Then in the coolness of the evening, they would relax in rocking-chairs on the front verandah and hear the strange, little sounds that abound during an evening in the country. The conversation would be chatty and in­ formal, and the King would tender me a pipeful of his mixture of tobacco. Then would come the time when the sleek black, limousine would pull up and they would be whisked away back into the whirl of receptions and such like. But somehow as they shook hands with us simple country­ folk, wc would know that they enjoy­ ed this interlude . . . and that back with them would go happy memories and a true picture of what goes on among wc. farmer-folk . . the back­ bone of a nation.’ Jeannie: “Why don’t you eat your apple, Sandy?” Sandy: “I’m waiting for Jock' Smith to come along. Apples taste much better if there’s another boy looking on,” “Funny no one seemed to realize- . what a Bad egg ho, was while he was rich.” “My dear, a bad egg is only known! when it’s broke” SWEET ' CAPORAL "Tke fWiit hn* hi which ichccc* ecu he . .
