This summer It would seem particularly -tine for them to do so. because so many, up to their eyes In war work, will be obliged to spend the dog das In town. Roof gardens are few and far be tween. Sleeping porches have grown to be moie or less a habit with the well-to-do, hut many have neither the space nor monej to Invest In them. , Iiut nearly everybody has a roof.

It W a thought like1 this that makes ou ay "why not'.'" about a city roof garden. Daytime , when the sun is beating down, will not i lure Miu to travel upward. But the nighttime! Rich men travel "mlle to camp out ' under the sky and know the Incom parable sensation of dropping oft to sleep with two ejes and a mind on the gloiy of the night And et iny man who boasts or n two-story twin house can take up his bed to the little gravel roof and tune his dreams to the mystery oi mese same swn There are no hounds to the possl- bllitles and the advantages of the roof garden.
