The Home That Is Set in the Primitive Wilderness. 



By Edward F. Bigelow^ ArcAdiA : Sound Beach, Connecticut. 



The heading of this department be- 

 comes this month somewhat of a mis- 

 nomer. It should not read "Homes near 

 to Nature" but "A Home in Nature." 

 That describes Mr. Morton C. Nichols's 

 home in Greenwich. While it is close 

 to the village, it almost adjoins the fa- 

 mous Put's Hill that visitors come from 

 afar to see, where General Putnam made 

 that famous downward dash to escape 



from the British soldiers. He took to 

 the woods in a hurry and was remarkably 

 successful in doing it. 



That is what Mr. Nichols has done. 

 He evidently was tired of the din and con- 

 fusion of cities, tired of the display of 

 wealth and the extravagance, tired of 

 formalism, and here escaped in haste from 

 these enemies to the real happiness of 

 mankind and betook himself to the re- 



THE HOME IN WILD NATURE.
