POINT FOR ROAD BUILDERS
Not Always Well to Deviate From
Straight Line, Even in an Effort
to Get Variety.

The guiding principle in designing
the position of roads and walks is
utility. Nature forms no roads. They
are the work of men and animals, and
would undoubtedly always proceed in
nearly straight lines from point to
point If distractions of various kinds
did not interfere and cause deviations.
Necessity will therefore suggest where
and how they should be introduced. So
far as regards approaches and walks
to and from buildings, the object of
their introduction is sufficiently appar-
emit; but, in laying out pleasure
grounds, it is too common practice to
introduce walks for the mere purpose
of variety. This is very question
able reason at best, and not always
successfully accomplished, but even
in cases Of this kind, they should ap-
pear to aim for some definite object,
or lead to points of sufficient impor-
lance to suggest their utility.

Know Your Garden Flowers.

The true way to enjoy flowers is
to get on intimate terms with them.
Know them by name. know their char
acteristics. Learn to love them and
make them part Of your life. Then
the flowers breathe their secrets, and
you learn little by little that they are
living things-boon companions and
friends. Those who work with flowers
know Of other things than seeds and
bulbs-hope and faith and love;
strength, inspiration and happiness.
They gather in moro than the blush
ing flowers themselves. They gather
health and wealth and natures re-
vealed secrets. How natural 1t Is,
then, that those who work with flow
ers should be big and strong and good
and kind. They are very close to the
heart of life-and nature.
