off, through a fresh green country- with fields of ripening grain, truck gardens,
some trees, neat villages. The most striking thing about it all to us was the absolute

sloping roofs- some of thatch. Imagine how much more artistic than our hodge-podge
of cheap-frame, gayly colored, many styled-houses. There was plenty of open country on the way, but every
