against the window -panes, inside the red ro('m
is a picture of happy comradeship.
The fire burns bn~htly in the old-fa!(hionecl !!ratf·,
the red walls seem to catch an"d retam th<· tire·!S
cheerfulness, the dull red rug~:~ on the un(•vcn stot\(•
floor give tone and harmony to the room. Book!i
r1.nd magazines Jie about m ch<>erful <'onfuswn.
Two grey k1ttens occupy thC< most comfy chair,
and on the hearthrug a sh<"epdog lies w"ith h(·r no:-se
between her paws. ~::>upper is. laid for six people.
five of whom at this prec1se moment stand about
the room, some reading letters, others laughm~
and talking and, incid<-ntally, toastmg themsel'\"<'"
by the inviting fire. ~oon the sixth, who is ou.r
housekeeper, will emt>rge from the kitchen. nnd "lX
happy, tired, hungry girls will sit do'\\.n to cat and
talk over the E'v<>nts of the day. A fnenclly argu-
ment or debate is almost sure to ensue which will
be carried on round the tire after supper 1~ over .
I ,.y House is our headq narters at pre~cnt, but
v<"ry soon two of our number will leave us to go tH
Ecton Lee, for no\\ thr<'c greenhouses, ;)(I ft. b~
10 ft., and a forcm~-frame, JO ft. by f) ft. are
complete, and work has commenced 111 earnc~t,
bulbs are being plantt>d in one house and beans and
salad stuffs in the others. Xow that the \\mter
frosts are here, it J!) essential that the gnrd< nE'r!\
should live near in order to attend to the fir<.>s.
The farm at present comprisE's some :200 ucre!l,
but we hope to take over the Dal€' }'arm in ~1nrch,
which will give us another 100 acres. Our stock
is composed of 33 hca.d of cattle, 3() sh<><>p- 3 horses,
~ donkeys, 12 ptgs, and poultry. Our days art·
full and also very happy ; the country i~ ~)l)th
beautiful and mtere~t~ng. The R1vt'r )Jamfohl
affords splendid lishin!! for anyone who. feel!) ... o
di'!posed, and there 1s plenty of good shootmg.
We have onr month s hohdny each yE"ar, a fort-
ni~ht in the sprm~ and a for~mght i~ the nutumn.
