House & Garden 
“The Bandbox” 
is a cosy little 
white clapboard- 
ed cottage just 
big enough jor 
one or two, set 
among holly¬ 
hocks and climb¬ 
ing roses, within 
brick paved 
paths. Here, of 
a summer after¬ 
noon, tea tastes 
all the better for 
being served 
among surround¬ 
ings of hospitable 
simplicity and 
garden charm 
From the middle 
of the rock and 
water garden is 
caught a glimpse 
of the main 
house through a 
rustic arch and 
seat. In the 
background, be¬ 
yond the bould¬ 
ers, is the rose 
garden. All of 
the rocks were 
hauled in and set 
in place — none 
of them was here 
originally, though 
now they appear 
entirely natural
