House & Garden 
THE GARDEN FRONT 
The garden entrance oj the house should make 
no effort to compete with the garden. Let 
the front be ever so elaborate and imposing, 
here the door should be low, simple in design 
and unobtrusive, affording a quiet transition 
to that lovelier beauty beyond oj wide, shadow- 
dappled lawns, beds riotous with flower blooms 
and stalwart trees. An example of a garden 
front designed as it should be is found in the 
residence of Mrs. F. Franklin Wardwell, at 
Shippan Point, Cl. Other views are shown on 
page 22. There the front entrance can be com¬ 
pared with this simple doorway into the gar¬ 
den. Aymar Embury, II, architect
