Text Appearing Before Image:
HE cottage under consideration grew up out of the ground, "without a thought of the morrow," as naturally as a clump of field grass. The construction is of plank. This gets rid of the studding, and, as there is no lath and plaster used, this is quite a con- sideration. Only on the partitions upstairs does the studding appear, and there it is most convenient, being used as shelves or a sort of glorious catch-all. The outside of the cottage is battened over the joint of the big boards, and stained green with Cabot creosote, while the upper half is shingled, and that and the roof left to weather the beautiful gray of the seaside shingle. We enter through a small hall, off which is a large and convenient coat closet. And then we come at once upon the "Cantie Hearth, where cronies meet," which, with the twenty-foot window-seat just opposite, are the features of the living-room. We made up our minds that after all the bric-a-brac and "things to dust" of town, that our country home should be deliciously bare and chastely empty. And we succeeded, there being nothing much in the room besides the fireplace and the window-seat, except some good plain rocker- chairs, stained a fine, dirty worn-out blue to match the wain- scot in the room. These, with a table which can easily be moved out on the porch, where all the meals are served, a few other tables and quantities of pots, jars and vases for the heaps of flowers which grow all on the landscape, make the room a perfectly easy place to take care of.
