What Was Done With a 
Five-Room Cottage 
(Continued from page 95) 
benches, palms and growing plants, tend 
to give the impression of an inside gar¬ 
den, distinctly different from the usual 
sun-parlor. Opening into the court are a 
homelike living-room and a small den. 
The living-room is a late addition, but 
the den dates from an earlier period of re¬ 
construction, and was formerly used as a 
bedroom. It is a restful spot, with gray- 
toned wall and pink, chintz-covered 
chairs and draperies. 
The living-room betrays the intimate 
touches that come from daily association, 
and is in every sense what its name im¬ 
plies. Books, old family portraits, per¬ 
sonal possessions of individual members 
of the family, with big, roomy chairs and 
old mahogany tables and desks combine 
with the grays and old reds of the walls 
and furnishings to fill the room with an 
all-the-year charm. It looks out over the 
garden lying only fifty or more feet away, 
across an open stretch of bluegrass. 
Bedrooms on the upper floors have no 
point of especial distinction beyond their 
convenience and light airiness. In the re¬ 
modeling of the house a generous pro¬ 
vision was made for bathrooms. From 
the original place of some years ago, 
lamp-lit, with water supplied from the 
spring down the hill, to the modern home 
with its splendid lighting and numerous 
baths, there is registered vast strides to¬ 
wards comfort and convenience in sub¬ 
urban and country homes. While “Long¬ 
view” still prides itself on being a coun¬ 
try home, the city is creeping up on its 
very heels. But for its protecting acres, it 
doubtless, before this, would have received 
from the city some of the objectionable 
features of the suburbs, along with its 
privileges of lights and water. Well for¬ 
tified by its open stretches of lands, ex¬ 
cept for the fact that the house lies be¬ 
tween two lines of street cars, “Long¬ 
view” is, happily, isolated from its neigh¬ 
bors and civilization in general. 
Of all of its possessions, the garden is 
the best beloved by its gentle mistress. 
Like all true old Southern gardens, the 
kitchen and flower garden are combined. 
There are four acres, with two quaint en¬ 
trances from the yard—gates of carved 
stone, with stone benches beside them. 
In the stone wall that surrounds the gar¬ 
den is a fussy little fountain hurrying into 
an artistically shaped basin. Inside the 
garden are other stone seats and another 
busy little fountain in a quaint, circular 
basin. 
The garden has beds eight feet wide 
that border a walk running the entire 
length of the plot. In this are peonies, 
iris, poppies, coreopsis and all the fra¬ 
grant succession of blossoms that made 
our grandmother’s garden one continuous 
array of riotous color and perfume from
