firmly hound together and well proportioned 
to the area of a lot 170 by 500 feet. The 
balancing of the design is continued at the ex¬ 
treme rear by a stable and its yard in one corner 
of the property and a hand-ball court in the 
contract. In like manner are arbors and 
trellises considered as integral parts of the

slightly screening a view across a secluded 
area of strawberry beds and small fruits.

window-gardens trailing their bloom before 
the walls, that boxes to hold the plants before 
principal windows are shown on the drawings, 
and they have been included in the general 
shows the wood framework to be completely 
surrounded by a brick wall four inches in 
thickness, giving added warmth to the house 
and providing a foundation for the exterior 
roughcast. A space two inches wide is left 
between the wood and brick, the two materials 
being tied together at frequent intervals by 
iron anchors. The roof will be of shingle.
