House & Garden

A POOL FOR 
Midsummer, and the voices of water sound 
most refreshingly in a garden—trickle and 
splash through the long hot day and into the 
warm dusk. Every garden should have some 
water. If no brook is available, build a 
pool. It will hold water lilies. Goldfish can 
dart in its dim shallows. Birds will come 
EVERY GARDEN 
there to bathe and sun themselves on its rim. 
All day long it will mirror the sky and at 
night catch the sparkle of stars. Even a little 
pool will do this, a little pool such as the 
one on the place of Ormsly M. Mitchell at 
Rye, N. Y. The architect was Mott Schmidt.
