AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



343 



shelf, gaily decked with flowers, and a 

 row of small windows, closely set against 

 each other, side by side, without shutters. 

 None of the windows in this wall have 

 shutters, that feature being reserved for 

 some of those on the lateral walls. A 

 pleasant arrangement this, of deep indi- 

 viduality and agreeable variety, having 

 no relation to anything else in the court, 

 but a truly harmonious note in an abso- 

 lutely harmonious interior. 



Well may one pause in this beautiful 

 and delightful place, so full of serenity, 

 so richly dowered with beautiful ideas, 

 so splendidly furnished with plants and 

 shrubs, so restful and so charming! It 

 is a true garden room, a veritable part 

 of the house itself, yet with all the out- 

 door sense and beauty that belongs with- 

 out. Inclosed, as it is, very largely with 

 buildings, they do not shut it in and re- 

 strain it, but serve rather as a frame to 

 the beautiful picture spread upon its cen- 

 ter, and of which the sides are themselves 

 so notable a part. One could linger here 

 indefinitely, but the house within calls 

 for viewing. 



The fine note of simplicity which dis- 

 tinguishes all of the exterior structural 

 parts forms the predominating keynote 

 of the interior. The entrance hall, which 

 is approached through a door opening 

 on to the "Dog Trot," is white, white walls, white furniture, 

 with bits of color decorations in blue-green tones. These
