Dear Sirs: — 
The American courses have improved very much 
since I last played here in 1900 , and I have come to 
the conclusion that your Motor Mower is to blame. 
I cannot find words to express its great merits, 
but at any rate I can truthfully say that it is O. K. in 
every particular. Would advise Green Committees 
to do away with horses and procure a Motor Mower, 
which pays for itself in two seasons. 
Yours respectfully, 
(Signed) HARRY VARDON

not been neglected here. There are the 
attractive but efficient copper vessels of 
the olden time hung in evidence. 
Up-stairs in the sleeping rooms things 
are equally interesting. There are four 
of these rooms. In the large front one 
over the living-room are windows south 
and east with the deep casements like 
those in the room below. Here the paper 
has a white ground, on which are great 
bunches of deep red roses, with their 
green leaves and buds. Dainty, white 
curtains hang at the windows; rare, old 
portraits welcome you from the walls, 
and high-back rockers invite you to rest 
and relaxation. The writing table in this 
100m is a small rosewood melodion that 
still has perfect keys and perfect bel¬ 
lows. A sewing table of mahogany 
stands between the two east windows, 
and across the room is an old mahogany 
dresser. On this dresser, when I first 
saw it, in an antique china and gold 
vase were branches of pink and cherry- 
colored hollyhock blossoms. Nothing 
could have blended more perfectly with 
the coloring of this room than these 
flowers. 
On some of the beds are hand-woven 
coverlets in blue and white, and pieced 
bed quilts in wonderful designs. Sam¬ 
plers, worked in a variety of ways, hang 
on the walls. One of them tells us that— 
“When we devote ourselves to God 
’Tis pleasing in His eyes; 
A flower that’s offer’d in the bud 
Is no vain sacrifice. 
Wrought by 
Caroline Carpenter, 
Age 10 years.” 
When Cloverly gives an evening party, 
the Craftsman always takes down a fas¬ 
cinating lantern of brass and glass from 
its hook in the hall ceiling to light the 
guests from “The House Next Door,” to 
the party across “the green.” They never 
have far to go, and, as they trudge along 
through the tall grass, following the 
twinkling light, one is always reminded 
of the little Cranford lantern procession. 
The Craftsman chooses to use in his 
house only the light of olden days, in 
spite of discouraging remarks made by 
some of the neighbors, who insist that 
one good, up-to-date lamp would give 
much better light than all of “those little, 
good-for-nothing firefly candles.” The 
house is especially attractive in the even¬ 
ing when thirty-five brass candlesticks 
shine and reflect the light of as many 
candles. Half way up the stairs on the 
broad window ledge stand four of these 
candles that are lighted every evening. 
Their light sends out a bright greeting to 
the neighborhood, and when bedtime 
comes and the guests take the candles, 
one by one, to their rooms, Cloverly 
knows that for “The House Next Door 
the day is over.
