PLANNING A HOUSEBOAT 
Will be a leisure-hour occupation in many a family this winter. House¬ 
boating has come among us to stay, and promises to be even more 
popular than in England itself. Every one who is interested in houseboats 
or who contemplates taking up this feature of outdoor life, should read 
Mr. Albert Bradlee Hunt’s practical, and, at the same time, beautiful work 
on the houseboat and its adaptation to American waters. 
Houseboeits and Houseboating 
Covers the entire range of its title, considers the use and opportunities of 
the houseboat; their relation to city and surburban life; construction, 
furnishing, motive power, and all the thousand and one details, the knowl¬ 
edge of which spells the difference between success and failure in houseboat 
building and houseboat life. 
Details, plans, drawings and specifications illuminate the text, while 
life on houseboats is interestingly described. Some of the more noted 
Eng-lish and American houseboats and the life thereon are also described 
at length with illustrations. Buckram, heavy paper, sumptuously illus¬ 
trated. 
Postpaid, $3.34.
