"Plant strawberry runners with grouse on Aug. 12th."—R. H. S. Gardener's Diary.
"Plant daffodils between grouse and partridges."—R. H. S. Gardener's Diary.

THE OLD, OLD PROBLEM.
EXERCISE 1.
I must confess that at one time I had little regard for collectors of cigarette cards; it seemed a feeble pursuit, though perhaps I should add I am of a somewhat intellectual nature. Some little time ago, however, I happened to glance at one of these cards and was surprised to see a picture of a gentleman attired in white flannels and a vest of white, decorated with red embroidery. He was grasping a towel in both hands and appeared to have two or three sets of arms. The label said, "Scarf or Towel Exercises 4." A perusal of the instructions on the back of the card made everything clear.
