ule a canvas-covered ar- 
rangement for some spe- 
cial occasion. But, as one 
treads its long distance 
over the stone “slabs: laid 
in two rows and_ bor- 
dered with low greenery, 
it is remembered that no 
cunvas ever gave such a 
soft, cool, twilight: ap- 
pearance as this willowy 
canvas suggests. An 
arched entrance near the 
center of the walk leads 
into the large and beau- 
tiful garden. 
This is seen to great 
idvantage from the ter- 
race near the house. 
When viewed from 
above, it presents a rich 
picture of color, spread 
cut upon a large scale. 
it is formal to a certain 
extent, but one almost 
forgets the design as the 
great beds of flowers are 
viewed, all of which are 
set with the idea of get- 
ting the best color effects. 
The four quarters in- 
ROCKMARGE,” the 
Pride’s Crossing 
home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Nilliam H. Moore of 
New York, has a rare 
distinguishing feature, 
which is found on no 
other estate on the 
North Shore, and is, in- 
deed, a rarity anywhere 
This is the long, curving 
willow walk, flanking 
one side of the garden, 
and extending from the 
terrace near the house to 
the edge of the garden 
dewn by the bath-house 
on the water front. A de- 
lightful andsecluded 
Ww ‘alk to take cown to the 
briny bath! For the pe- 
culiarity of this walk lies 
in. the fact that it is 
broad, so that several 
could walk abreast, and 
is completely covered, 
tep and sides, by the 
brariches of the weeping 
wllows, so trained that 
dense shade. The walk (PHOTO BY HENRY HAVELOCK P ERCK, NEW YORK AND BOSTON )
