  An 
  open 
  veranda 
  with 
  balustrades 
  in 
  white 
  about 
  three 
  

   feet 
  high 
  extends 
  across 
  the 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  house. 
  Boxes 
  of 
  

   scarlet 
  geraniums 
  arranged 
  along 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  add 
  

   to 
  the 
  artistic 
  effect, 
  while 
  potted 
  bay 
  trees 
  here 
  and 
  there 
  

   along 
  the 
  floor 
  and 
  large 
  hydrangeas 
  at 
  either 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   steps 
  harmonize 
  the 
  color 
  tone. 
  Entrance 
  to 
  the 
  house 
  may 
  

  

  Plan 
  of 
  the 
  Grounds 
  

  

  be 
  gained 
  either 
  at 
  the 
  side 
  or 
  front. 
  At 
  the 
  left 
  of 
  the 
  

   building, 
  overlooking 
  the 
  rose 
  garden, 
  is 
  a 
  wide 
  covered 
  

   veranda, 
  or 
  loggia, 
  partly 
  shut 
  in 
  by 
  glass 
  partitions. 
  The 
  

   veranda 
  is 
  used 
  during 
  the 
  warm 
  weather 
  as 
  a 
  gathering 
  

   place 
  for 
  the 
  family. 
  It 
  is 
  tastefully 
  furnished 
  with 
  rugs 
  

   and 
  raffia 
  furniture, 
  and, 
  of 
  course, 
  the 
  inevitable 
  little
