The premises are not large, the front of the house and expanse of lawn is to the right and this walk was made for the grocer, butcher, and so forth. Where it is given a short turn the shrubbery is thickened so that the back yard is effectually screened. The walk is made a little wider in front than back, causing an impression of greater depth than really exists. It is a success, so radically differ- ent from what is usually made shift with in our city residences. The trouble is, such a result requires five years' time to bring forth.
