Dear Sirs : 
ffhave just completed a tour of the United States 
and Canada and was surprised to find the nice con¬ 
dition of courses where your Motor Mowers were in 
use. I consider it absolutely essential for condition¬ 
ing the fair ways of all courses. It certainly makes 
one feel like boost¬ 
ing its praises 
everywhere one 
roams. I can con¬ 
scientiously rec¬ 
ommend it. 
Yours very truly 
(Signed)

get. Indian rugs are on the floor and 
hang from the balcony. Indian baskets 
are on the walls, holding brown grasses 
or gay flowers. They are used for waste- 
paper baskets; rows of them are on the 
shelves. Indian pottery, saddle ornaments, 
blankets, etc., have been placed in deco¬ 
rative ways here and there. The table 
runners, pillow covers, even some of the 
book and magazine covers, have been 
ornamented with a pattern from the In¬ 
dian rugs. Where it has not been pos¬ 
sible to keep strictly to the Indian scheme 
of things he has filled out with material 
in similar colors from Mexico. Some of 
the dishes are from China, decorated 
with the dark, rich shades used by the 
Indians. He has kept firmly to the bald, 
primary shades of red, blue, orange and 
browns. The hangings at the windows 
are of crepe, dyed a rich orange (by his 
own efforts) with the juices of sea¬ 
shore plants. The dining-room chairs are 
upholstered with untanned calves’ hide. 
The crowning touch of originality is in 
the piano. The dark mahogany of the 
Steinway grand seemed to him to be a 
jarring note. It did not look at all like 
the rest of the room. With such courage 
as only a man can show, he painted it a 
rich Indian red! Not a common coat of 
paint, but a soft, rich sort of lacquer. 
Not a woman on earth would have ven¬ 
tured so original a trick. It would ap¬ 
pear a most shocking absurdity in the 
ordinary drawing-room, but here, where 
he has had the joy of doing everything 
just as he wanted to, it is entirely suit¬ 
able. The flood of sunlight pouring into 
the room, the sparkle and glitter from 
the ocean, seen through them, the bar¬ 
baric coloring mellowed by the shadows 
from the high ceiling, the Indian-red 
piano, with a great, round bowl of 
sprawling sprays of red geranium, the 
flame of the open fire, combine to make 
as cheery, harmonious and original a 
room as can be found anywhere. It is 
full of the charm that always comes from 
a fearless expression of taste. It is a 
man’s picture, his own technique, his own 
idea of comfort and cheer. It is com¬ 
plete, and left me nothing to suggest in 
the way of homey contrivances that 
make for convenience. Never could there 
be a neater home. My doubts as to man’s 
ability to build pleasantly are stilled for 
ever.

rarest joy of all, a light that is portable 
and by which you can read in bed. But 
the greatest benefit we derive from elec¬ 
tricity is in having our own water supply. 
We dug a well in the cellar and installed 
a pressure tank 2J/2 feet in diameter and 
6 feet long. This is buried under the 
cellar bottom. The tank holds 220 gal¬ 
lons of water. The outfit is equipped 
with an electric pump which starts and
