THE GARDEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES 



A motto that is a universal favorite gives 

 this cheerful sentiment : 



" Let others tell of storms and showers, 

 I'll only count your sunny hours." 



For the most part mottoes treat with 

 some deep truth of life ; many are cheerful, 

 but some are solemn and even gloomy. 

 One of strong sentiment by Henry Van 

 Dyke must please all thinking persons 

 who read it : 



" Hours fly 

 Flowers die 

 New days 

 New ways 

 Pass by 

 Love stays." 



As a rule the dial's saying is most pleas- 

 ing when short and to the point. An im- 

 pertinent jest but one of good will and 

 cheerfulness is on the writer's dial that is 

 pictured on page 79 



" My face marks the sunny hours, 

 What can you say of yours ? "
