THE DESCENT TO THE TENNIS LAWN 
figure of gilded 
lead. Below these 
a broad grassed 
terrace sets astride 
the site and over¬ 
looks the tennis 
lawn some eight 
feet below. 
At the back of 
the house a little 
garden, of simple 
materials and 
clever welding to- 
o 
gether of existing 
trees, has turned 
an unpromising 
piece of ground 
into a pretty 
scheme where 
paved and cobbled 
paths divide the 
box-bordered beds. 
Around the fine 
old yew tree at a 
crossing of the

UNDER THE OLD HOLLY TREE 
walks is a seat, 
fashioned of sim¬ 
ple staves against 
the bole, and a 
yew hedge encloses 
all. This will, 
when fully grown, 
shut in this tiny 
lay-out from the 
surrounding work. 
On the side near¬ 
est the public thor- 
o ugh fa re rising 
banks of shrub¬ 
bery and trees 
blot out adjoining 
buildings and give 
a privacy which is 
effectual even in 
winter. By this 
means the entire 
property is bound 
together and made 
into a harmonious 
whole. M. B.
