fectively applied to any situation that will 
knock o& the rough edges and soften 
down unpleasant parts. Trees, shrubs and 
plants are the means to accomplish this, 
with just a little thought as to their 
proper disposition. 
In exposed places, such as near the sea¬ 
shore, a pergola arranged with vines would 
add an attractive feature and afford much 
welcome shade. 
The Kind of a Summer Home 
to Build 
{Continued from page 14) 
The kitchens and pantries should be even 
more convenient than those of the ordi¬ 
nary country home, and the less furniture, 
the less dusting and sweeping is required, 
and the better for all concerned. With 
some this desire for a complete break from 
their usual habits extends further than 
with others. There are many among my 
acquaintances who require in their homes 
perfect service, the best of cooking, the 
most finished of housekeeping, and are 
not happy unless their vacations are spent 
in the roughest possible way. They want 
themselves to do the cooking, the cleaning 
and the bed-making, and desire a com¬ 
plete change from the winter’s routine. 
For such as these there is nothing more 
satisfactory than an adaptation of a hun¬ 
ter’s camp or a frontier cabin. This may 
be built of logs in true frontier style or 
may be built of ordinary wood with slabs, 
as the outside rounded portion of logs 
sawn away when the logs are cut into 
boards are called, or of shingles or of ver¬ 
tical sheathing. Rough built-in corded 
bedsteads or hammocks may be used to 
furnish them, and, made by one who 
knows how to make it, a pine bough bed 
is a very comfortable place. Camp means 
primarily the reduction of the art of liv¬ 
ing to its simplest form, cooking over a 
fire in the open, eating in the open, and 
shelter only for sleeping; a not unusual 
compromise is the building of two cabins 
end to end, with a roofed space between, 
open on both sides; such is the type of 
which we read in Parkmans’ Histories or 
in Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn.” 
There is a little photograph of a negro 
cabin with this article, built of logs, roofed 
with long “shakes,” as they call them 
(the original shingles), which is a very 
satisfactory type of structure in which to 
live the real country life. The two ends 
are used for bedrooms and the open space 
between for a dining-room and general 
living-room. 
Another kind of camp is illustrated in 
the log house with an open porch in front, 
where a single room divided by canvas 
screens serves for sleeping quarters, and 
a piazza for every-day living use, but one 
can have a very good time in a building 
as plain as this if one is not over nice in 
habit and the other members of the party 
do not snore.
