THE HOLIDAY OF DREAMS 387 
Already lovely homes, and grounds beautifully 
planted with the natural growths of the mountains, 
testify to the possibilities of the country, and form, 
let us hope, the beginning of a vast domain of 
beauty, a domain created, not by a few great land- 
holders, but by the many who shall come to take 
possession. 
The Italians have a graceful way of placing in 
their village parks a notice to the effect that the 
park is entrusted to the honor of the people for whose 
pleasure it was made, and in the same spirit one would 
like to confide nature's great park of the Southern 
Appalachian Mountains to the loving care of the 
people. May it be the pleasure of all to assist the 
charming efforts of nature and to pass on, as a right- 
ful inheritance to future generations, an ever more 
enchanting Holiday of Dreams.
