THE ARBOR PLAYS ITS PART 
“The arbor is an architectural feature and as such 
needs to have a logically related position in the

of Mrs. William McRoberts, Pistakee Bay, Ill., it 
furnishes a frame for the gentle figure of St. Francis 
and offers a logical pivot for the circling path

THE FOUNTAIN AS A TER¬ 
MINAL POINT 
Such things as fountains, seats, arbors 
and so on should never be set down 
arbitrarily but placed always where 
they have meaning—at the end of a 
vista orwalk.for instance—andwhere 
they have a fitting background as 
here in the garden of Mrs. George 
W. Wickersham at Cedardurst, L. I. 
BIRD-BATH OF SUB¬ 
STANTIAL DESIGN 
Nothing brings the birds 
more surely and more

all seasons of the year 
than water—even in win¬ 
ter, water seems more 
welcome than food which 
somehow they nearly 
always manage toscratch 
up for themselves
