march of the main path is always good 
form. 
In onr narrow garden this path is nec¬ 
essarily at one side, convenient for ram¬ 
bler-covered arches, that are thrown from 
the fence across it. It terminates in a 
bed of lilies-of-the-valley at the entrance 
to a tiny summer-house, whose frame of 
poultry wire is completely covered with 
woodbine and the snowy clematis, making 
a shady, fascinating place of retirement. 
A grape vine trained on a wire diagon¬ 
ally from the back porch to a tall pole at 
the end of the garden casts pretty, flicker¬ 
ing shadows across the grass plot. Wire 
netting at the top of our northern fence 
shuts out with a bank of color all laundry 
exhibitions next door, while in their sea¬ 
son violets, tulips, pinks and other blos¬ 
soms border the whole enclosure. 
Little by little we have built our nest 
in the heart of the city, and yet there are 
possibilities (winter plans) to be worked 
out each spring. Susan E. W. Jocelyn

stock Co. 
The editor presents a compilation of 
characteristic types of garages for motor 
cars and motor boats. He has not limited 
himself to the suburban or private varie¬ 
ties, but has collected plans and pictures 
of such buildings used by individuals and 
firms in the city. The text accompanying 
these illustrations contains hints for the 
arrangement and use of the necessary 
equipment and accessories and also what 
peculiar regulations of the fire under¬ 
writers must be complied with in building. 
The House Fly—Disease Carrier. By L. O. 
Howard. Ph. D. 8vo. Illustrated; 312 pp. 
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company; 
$1.60 net. 
The mere title of this exhaustive trea¬ 
tise is sufficient to give a very good idea of 
what the book contains. The habits of 
flies and the great dangers to humanity re¬ 
sulting therefrom are carefully traced out 
.and the conclusions reached are in some 
cases startling in their importance. Take, 
for example, the suppositional case of a 
female fly which on April 15th lays 120 
eggs. By a sort of chain-letter method of 
reproduction the possible number of flies
