THE REVIVED 
IDEA OF HOME 
During the war the old idea of home was revived. It 
ceased being the sort of place where you can go when 
you can’t go anywhere else and once more was the 
place where men would rather be than anywhere else. 
Home didn’t mean a palace in a park but a cottage 
so covered with roses that you couldn’t see the house. 
To millions home just meant that—a small house, 
a low-lying heaven of comfortable rooms and cheery 
hearths, with flowers growing around the grounds. 
All of which thoughts are crowding out the fact that 
this picture shows a view of “Inellan,” home of Mrs. 
Walter Douglas, at Montecito, Santa Barbara. Cal.
