Select a shady spot in some hill¬ 
side orchard for the rustic summer 
house. Bidld a platfortn of rough 
boards, and fence it in with a rail¬ 
ing of rough-cut timber. At one 
side make a square, peak-roofed 
shelter or lean-to out of slabs and 
rough posts. On festive occasions 
lanterns can be strung about this 
platform

)e (English 
lea oJjouse 
An English tea house—or per¬ 
haps some would choose to 
call it Italian—is built against 
the garden wall. A roof of 
slate, with wide, projecting 
caves; a colonnade facade with 
arched openings, and in the 
shadows a long bench. Cedars 
in pots stand on either side. 
A bird basin marks the middle 
arch, and a pool is in front
