AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



107 



bright colored pillows in 

 every conceivable place, 

 with their thought of ease 

 and restfulness. A little 

 naphtha launch upon the 

 mountain lake adds to the 

 many attractions of this 

 Adirondack camp. 



One of the most unique 

 of camps is to be found 

 under the shadow of the 

 Ramapo Mountains. In a 

 "Daniel Boone" clearing in 

 , the woods is a little fo'ir- 



Iroom bungalow. The folid 

 > masonry of its great chim- 

 ney on its exterior is only ex- 

 it ceeded by the charm of its 

 deep fireplace within. A 

 rough board mantel is sup- 

 ported by two posts of 

 curled spruce, just as they 

 were cut down in the woods, 

 their curly sides making one 

 think of the leather breeches 

 of Western cowboys. In the 

 cavernous depths of the fire- 

 place are old-fashioned 



The Bungalow on Long Island Sound Where Ella Wheeler Wilcox Works and Rests in Summer 



-^- 



A gun leans against one win- 

 dow, while a beautiful stag's head 

 and hunting scenes adorn the 

 walls, which are full of conveni- 

 ent crannies in the rough building 

 for books and pipes and cart- 

 ridges, and in the midst of it all 

 is an unexpected wealth of Chip- 

 pendale furniture, and egg-shell 

 china cups in the little corner 

 cupboard. Unexpected and 

 unique as the combination seems 

 to us to-day, our great-grand- 

 parents were accustomed to not 

 wholly dissimilar homes. 



Far out to the east the Dutch 

 door opens on a view that reaches 



(brass andirons, the property of an ancestor 

 jwho was among the first settlers. The logs 

 (they have held in the long ago and in the 

 camp of to-day have furnished the home 

 cheer of many a generation. 



Buffalo horns lie on each side of the 

 hearth. These were picked up in Oregon 

 by the host of the bungalow, where they 

 pnee formed the boundaries of land, when 

 the buffaloes wandered in herds over the 

 I prairies. A brace of revolvers flank each 

 hside of a long old-fashioned mirror, while 

 Jbelow them on the mantel silver candle- 

 sticks hold their own beside stuffed birds 

 Jmd amateur photographs.
