THE ROAD TO ARCADY 



Any garden path is a road to Arcady. Set joot upon it. 

 and inevitably the u'ay leads out of this complex world 

 into a lovelier kingdom where for towering structures you 

 have the trees, for canyon streets the green hedge, for city 

 noises the soothing of gentle winds and the music of birds 

 and trickling water, for the city stench, the perfume of 



blossoms Doublv blest is the man whose road to Arcady 

 lies down a garden path where flowers crop up between 

 the flagstones, where sweet alyssum and petunias spill over 

 the roadway and giant asters salute him as he passes. So 

 it is in the garden of L. H. Lapham at New Canaan, Conn. 

 William B. Tubby was the architect
