New Walks in Old Ways 



Those who go to bed with the sun- 

 set in the stillness of a grassy, leafy 

 world are indeed a busy, hungry lot 

 when the light again begins to break. 

 In fact, one mighty swelling chorus 

 precedes Aurora's pageant of progress 

 round the globe. One degree of longi- 

 tude after another, from east to west, 

 awakes to claim the largesse that is 

 strewn always — and commonly with 

 lavish hand — from her bounteous, 

 never-failing chariot of gold. Bleating 

 of lambs, squealing of pigs, bawling 

 of calves, baying of dogs, crowing of 

 cocks, cawing of crows, the robin's 

 rousing reveille, and pleadings of baby 

 purple martins in the nest! All face 

 the new day with a joy and hope not 

 often manifest in the morning hours 

 where men and women and alarm 

 clocks dwell. 



The advent of the sleeping porch in 

 modern architecture is a hopeful sign. 

 The number of "stuffy" bedrooms in 

 this world is equaled only by the sands
