The Architectural Value of 
Latticework 
(Continued from page 101.) 
Unless the walls are of masonry or 
plaster, painting will be necessary every 
two or three years, and this could 
be done far more easily and with less 
damage to the vines if it were possible 
to tilt the whole lattice frame away from 
the face of the wall while the painters 
are at work. In any case, do not have 
the latticework set too close against the 
wall. A space of two or three inches be¬ 
tween lattice and wall should be secured, 
either by using deeper supporting mem¬ 
bers or by attaching the framework to 
blocks set against the wall. 
There is little choice in the matter of 
color. I doubt if it be possible to go 
wrong in using white-painted lattice, 
though green is sometimes felt to be bet¬ 
ter on white surfaces. With white, how¬ 
ever, the lattice will be visible through 
the foliage, giving the apparent support 
that is an essential, while with green it 
may be lost to sight, defeating its main 
purpose. 
One thing more. If you are planning 
to have a paved terrace along one side 
of a house, do not fail to leave two-feet- 
square holes (to be filled in with earth) 
in the terrace floor adjoining the house 
wall, and flanking the entrance or at 
other convenient points. Otherwise you 
will have to forego your trellis, and vines, 
too, on that side of the house. 
A Garden of Vistas 
(Continued from page 103.) 
bits of flagging in the turf walk or, where 
the natural garden is a little steeper than 
usual, a few stone steps. Below these 
last is a small pond which is handled in 
a manner Japanese and makes one rather 
regret that the effect is not complete, and 
that the seat at its inner end was not a 
stone lantern. 
Very little trimming has been resorted 
to. In fact, only such as was required 
in removing unhealthy or unsightly bits 
here and there or in reducing some over¬ 
intrusion on the pathway. All this has 
been well handled by the owner and in 
such a manner as to defy detection. 
There is but one criticism that occurs 
to the writer, and that is the general out- 
of-placeness of the white marble acces¬ 
sories. To suit the scheme perfectly 
they should be less emphatic in color and 
less classic in detail. The light terra¬ 
cotta color of the Italian oil jar and the 
buff of the Romanesque pot are happier 
by far than the pure white, and their lack 
of severity in outline is self-satisfying. 
The former, in particular, has the appear¬ 
ance of utter abandon and of having been 
set down carelessly for a moment and 
forgotten; it is not even set straight. 
When the garden was viewed, it was 
not complete, the two long paths suggest¬ 
ing further treatment beyond. Such 
Reeco Water System 
Simple, 
Compact 
REECO ELECTRIC PUMP 
Noiseless, 
Self-governing 
No matter whence the water comes — well, spring, brook, lake, river — we can install 
the right system to deliver it at the correct pressure where needed in your house, 
your barn, or your garden. Noiseless pumps—electric or hot air — self-regulating, 
run for years without a hitch or worry. You will know the exact cost beforehand, 
and that cost includes the system complete ready for the turning of the faucet. In 
the Business for Seventy Years, we have installed over 40,000 satisfactory systems 
of every grade. The REECO ELECTRIC PUMP may be installed wherever a 
trolley line runs, or wherever there is a public or private electric lighting plant. The 
pressing of a button stops and starts it. There is, therefore, absolutely no waste of 
power. _

Much of the charm of the old Colonial room was due to 
the prismatic rays of the cut crystals together with the soft 
rsy» of the candle or lamp. This same quality, in a lamp 
of this kind, is just as valuable to-day when lighted with 
the more modem illuminant—electricity.
