The Read House, at New Castle, Delaware 
woodwork, even though painted white, is of 
solid mahogany. The house stands in the 
corner of a large garden, trimmed with box 
hedges and rich with old-fashioned flowers 
and interesting species of shrubbery, a garden 
that so well presents the aspect of a hundred 
years ago and gives so many pleasant 
glimpses into a bygone life that, lacking 
present space to do it justice, we reserve its 
description and illustrations for a future issue.
