Redcrest Cottage 
EDCREST COTTAGE is the name of 
a modern little home situated on the slope 
of a gentle hill near Guilford, England. The 
custom ot naming all houses larger than a 
laborer’s cottage is characteristic of the 
English people; and when the title is happily 
applied, as in this instance, suggesting color 
and location, one cannot but delight in the 
pleasant conceit. One bright June day while 
bicycling towards Winchester I passed this 
place, shown here by a photograph and 
drawings, and was at once impressed by the 
color, the composition and the charm ol the 
surroundings. 
One rarely lingers long before the new in 
a country where the old, the quaint and the 
beautiful abound. But here was something 
uncommon, well-conceived and worthy of 
careful appreciation, and upon which Nature 
had early smiled approval. Her kindly 
touch was everywhere, and it had been left 
almost unrestrained. Man and Mother
