The beautiful garden at the Swampscott home of 
Mrs. E. H. Clapp of Boston is shown in seven fine illus- 
trations in the current “garden number” of The House 
Beautiful. This is one of the gardens of the North Shore 
that shows in many ways what can be done with a rocky 
surface near the sea. In another group of garden views 
is shown the high, vine-covered wall at the West Man- 
chester home of ‘Mr. and Mrs. William B. Walker. This 
is one of the most attractive features of the garden at 
“Highwood,” lending an air of selusion to the spot and 
affording a support for the vines and climbing roses.

It’s the songs ye sing, an’ the smiles ye wear 
That's a makin’ the sunshine everywhere. 
—JAMES WurItcoMes RILEY. 
The chief part of all the common sense there is in 
the world belongs unquestionably to women. 
All healthy things are sweet-tempered—Emerson. 
He who is made by an opportunity is usually the one 
who made the opportunity. 
True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less 
noise it makes.—Halifax. 
Firmness belongs to the will and preserves it from 
yielding. Without it man has no character, no will of 
his own.—Dr. Webster. 
America is the only land on earth where caste has 
never had a footing —Harrison. 
It requires less cleverness to deceive than not to let 
ourselves be deceived.—D’Haussonville. 
“Husbands are like Christmas gifts, you can’t choose 
them; you’ve got to sit down and wait until they arrive 
and then appear perfectly delighted with what you get.” 
Courage and cheerfulness will not only carry you 
over the rough place of life, but will enable you to bring 
comfort and help to the weak-hearted, and will console 
you in the sad hours when, like Uncle Toby, you have 
“to whistle that you may not weep.”—Dr. Osler.
