rchitectural heritage. Garden and house, hanging on the brink of the glen,are both together so delightfully suited to each other thatit is a satisfaction to look on them. Either one withoutthe other would be incomplete and curtailed of its full mean-ing. The fact that the garden, small though it is, has beenmade the most of, is worth taking to heart in a good manyquarters. Not a few of us are apt to neglect a little garden-ing opportunity like this just because it is so little that wethink it wont count. It does count, though, and KrisheimCottage garden shows how much. The cultivation of awee plot gives the cultivator a most valuable store of ex-perience in economy and arrangement while a refusal toimprove the chance is just like the conduct of the man inthe parable who went and wrapped his one talent in a nap-kin and buried it in the ground. Among the sundry lessonsto be learned from a study of Krisheim, not the least is thelesson of appreciation of small excellences indoors and out.
