It is In attempting to de- sign homes in this class that =0 many voung deslgners fail. The man who cannot originate does well to follow in the foot- steps of others. It is better to be a good copler than a poor originator. The former does no harm, while the latter does no good. The most productive field for homes | and | suburban the country of orlginal design are the country homes, especially homes of the well-to-do. Here the de slgner 18 not restricted by lack of means or space. The owner's family or soclal re- quirements, of course, are always a re- striction, but with little else to hamper him, the designer of a pretentious country whether it be large or small. The natural surroundings can always be made to add beauty to the home by the careful planting of trees and shrubs or the | prunning and arrangement of al- ready grown. The planting of ises, however, should never b to excess. There should never be contrast but rather a blending mony between the natural and artificial surroundings of a country home. Drives and walks should never be too regular. Artificial lakes, ponds, brooks, etc., should | appear to have always been there. An old marsh in proximity to the countr home can always be made into an attrac- lily pond by careful dredging those th a declde and har close tive | three little private park or pleasure ground. There are seats, arbors, swings, tennis court lawn. A vyoung man in the neighborhood is hired to keep it in order hours.
