LITTER IN THE COUNTRY
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] , SIR,—One hears so much of the wickedness of modern tourists that it is a pleasure to be able to record the passing of many, each Sunday throughout the summer, without a trace of litter to disfigure their path.

The result was surprising ; large numbers coming in, and, doubtless appreciat- ing the old-world garden and the quiet of the wood beyond, repeating their visits. So diffident were our guests that a further notice begging them to walk on the grass, or pick a flower if they liked, was necessary.
