may be the reason why
the fence that divides one back yard
from another in a country village is
such a constant source of resort and
revelation to the village housewife. Tt
not only affords a delightful resting
place for her elbows, but furnishes a
tantalizing sort of Kalf-view of her
neighbors goings-on that gives zest to
the back yard dialogue.
Did you ever wateh two honest house-
wives, one fresh from the washtub and
the other leaving the bread in her oven
just long enough to exchange the gos-
sip that each may have accumulated in
the twenty-four hours preceeding?
Many unobservant people labor un-
der the impression that the backyard
fence was built only as a vantage-
ground for the nightly serenade of the
domestic cat, but such were not reared
in country villages. More gossip,
more slander, more family secrets pass
over the backyard fence than through
the divorce courts.
But as I said, the tantali izing half-view
had of her neighbors’
curiosity, and when the good village
matron is hanging her clothes t
dry and calls her neighbor to the fence,
you can rely on it she has some
worth the telling, and her friend :
the line exch: tnges, not at the ratio of
16 to 1, but doliar for dollar in the Lest
coin of the realm.
You people who live in cities hav
backyard fences, but you place spikes
and broken bottles on top. Such de-
vices chill the symps thy that ought to
exist between neighbors, and
Woman loses one of the most delightful
diversions of a woman’s life.
But the village is threatened by the
iconoelat, and where the sweet-sme lling
pig and the predatory cow erstwhile
wandered at their sweet wills, the one
has been relegated to his pen, the other
to her pasture. The backyard fence has
lost its original uses, and the sesapi
tion of the backyard gossip is
rapidly going.
