A POOL FOR E\'ERY GARDEN 



Midsummer, and the voices of water sound 

 most rejreshingly in a garden — trickle and 

 splash through the long hot day and into the 

 warm dusk. Every garden should have some 

 water. If no brook is available, build a 

 pool. It will hold water lilies. Goldfish can 

 dart in its dim shallows. Birds will come 



there to bathe and sun themselves on its rim. 

 .ill day long it will mirror the sky and at 

 night catch the sparkle of stars. Even a little 

 pool will do this, a little pool such as the 

 one on the place of Ormsly M. Mitchell at 

 Rye, N. Y. The architect was Mott Schmidt.
