  Beautiful 
  and 
  stately 
  the 
  house 
  certainly 
  is 
  in 
  all 
  its 
  ap- 
  

   pointments, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  just 
  the 
  sort 
  of 
  interior 
  one 
  would 
  expect 
  

   from 
  such 
  an 
  exterior. 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  often 
  that 
  one 
  can 
  thus 
  fore- 
  

   tell 
  the 
  inner 
  from 
  the 
  outer 
  appearance 
  of 
  a 
  house 
  — 
  only 
  

   when 
  the 
  architect 
  has 
  been 
  given 
  an 
  ideal 
  location 
  and 
  then 
  

   full 
  scope 
  for 
  the 
  expression 
  of 
  his 
  talent.

  the 
  architects 
  in 
  this 
  case, 
  could 
  hardly 
  have 
  designed 
  more 
  

   satisfactorily- 
  Truly 
  the 
  Colonial 
  is 
  the 
  perfect 
  architecture. 
  

   The 
  very 
  land 
  whereon 
  the 
  house 
  stands 
  is 
  historically 
  

   interesting. 
  It 
  was 
  once 
  the 
  camping 
  ground 
  of 
  the 
  Salem 
  

   Cadets, 
  the 
  scene 
  of 
  who 
  knows 
  how 
  much 
  emulation, 
  rivalry 
  

   and 
  romance. 
  It 
  is 
  thus 
  both 
  historical 
  and 
  picturesque. 
  

  

  An

  veranda

  balustrades 
  in 
  white 
  about

  at 
  the

  At

  house. 
  Boxes 
  of 
  building, 
  overlooking 
  the 
  rose 
  garden, 
  

  

  wide 
  covered 
  

  

  rlet 
  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

  •eranda, 
  or 
  loggia, 
  partly 
  shut

  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,

  of 
  course, 
  the 
  inevitable
