r\TNS DONG BELL! 
1PROM this first imaginary ding, dong bell of Mother 
Goose days ringing fine frenzy for pussy’s rescue, to 
the noble, mellowed tones of “In Memoriam,” much of 
our poetry—all our life—has been measured by Bells. 
Did men get the motive of Bells out of the garden? The 
reader knows much better than we do how the glorious 
“bells” of Lily of the Valley surprise during these happy 
May days; how the still more glorious Easter Lily “Bells” 
turn the June garden into a veritable fairyland; how 
throughout the summer the Canterbury Bells ring 
benedictions of a slowly maturing season. 
All these bells stand for “nature-in-bloom” and yet, they 
also carry the subtle message that, with their disappearance, 
we are approaching the season’s end, the period of rest, 
slumber. Whatever other message they may have carried, 
give thought to those most intimate and dear to you, so 
that the future years may hold for them happy bells, in 
the garden as well as in daily life.
