boys, and undisturbed by the gun of
the hunter.
The old road leading through the
property which was made by the Tudor
family has been in part abandoned by
Mr.. Cleveland. He has constructed a
shorter cut, and has widened the car
rage way. Since early spring num-
ber of men with teams have been exca-
waiting and filling, so as soon as the
ground becomes settled the approach
to the Cleveland house will be wide
avenue through the dense forest, with
graceful curves and occasional glimpSeS
of BuzZard's Bay. No attempt has been
| made to clean up the underbrush i'll the
woods or in any way to mar the natural
| beauty. aes
The Home of Baby Ruth's Calf. p
The stables are several hundred feet
from the cottage, near the woods. The
building, except for its size. is fully as
pretentious-lookin as Gray Gablesfit-
self. Near by the stables is smaller
house, which is the home of baby Ruth's
pet calf and the Jersey cow which sup
plies the milhfor the Cleveland house
hold. In pleasant weather the calf is
tied up on a knoll near the stables,
where it runs about and licks the hands
of the visitors. who are certain to pay
marked attention to baby Ruth's Dig
eyed pet. Mr.. Cleveland keeps four
horses
South of the stables. short distance
away, is tall tower, on the top of
which is large wooden reservoir, sur
mounted by windmill. This mill
supplies the water for Mr. Cleveland's
house.
AQuiet Little Home
A near approach to the Cleveland
cottage dispels the illusion that it is an
extensive residence; it is plain wood
en- cottage, a story and a half high, with
broad verandas upon all sides. 1t was
built more for comfort than for beauty.
The main entrance to the house is upon
the north side. An arched alcove leads
to the front door. The library opens
from the main hallway and looks out
towards the apex of the cape upon the
bay. Mr.. Cleveland, when not in his
library or fishing. usually sits upon the
piazza near.the front entrance. Here
he can, read, smoke or write at his
pleasure.
The piazza facing the south is occu-
pied mostly by the ladies of the house
hold. 1t is here that Mrs. Cleveland sits
and reads or buSieS herself with fancy
work or entertains her guests. 1t is here
that Baby Ruth usually takes her after
noon nap, costly nestled in her pretty
wicker carriage. Her nurse sits near with
her hand upon the carriage, pushing it
gently back and forth. In rainy weather
Miss Ruth's rides are confined to nu-
merOus trips in her carriage upon the
piazza around the house. In pleasant
weather the carriage is wheeled down
upon the lawn, and Miss Ruth is
wheeled to where her pet calf is tied,
and sometimes short distance along
the avenue into the woods.
To the right of the main entrance to
the house steps lead down to the pier
where Mr.. Cleveland's catboat is an
schored. Upon the opposite side of the
house neat plaster walk, raised high
enough to be out of the way of high
tides, leads along the shore 200 feet to-
wards the woods where the bathing
house is located. This house is small
one. having two compartments. From
the bathing house a raised wafk runs
out into the water short distance. The
water in BuZzard's bay is too cold for
bathing at present, but after the 1st of
! July Mrs. Cleveland will take daily

The daily life OF the occupants Of
! Gray Gables is simple. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland usually rise at s O'Clock and
breakfast at 9. After breakfast MT.
