A SUMMER IN A BARN.
Novel Plan Of One Family to Get a

A rather novel way of getting a

mer. They rented for very small
sum the barn on deserted country
estate and then went to work to turn
the building into comfortable dwell.
ling 1t was fitted up for four
months occupancy: the central part
used for main living room: the lofts
curtained off with inexpensive but
artistic materials for sleeping rooms,
furnished with light, easy cots and
simple, pretty necessaries. There was
kitchen with every convenience, and
one servant. The domestic part Of
the plan might be avoided by taking
meals at a neighboring farm. Ire.
mendous swinging doors either side
OF the barn gave delightful current
Of air. There were hammocks, easy
chairs and cushions In abundance.
As the family were artistic, the
bare barn was transformed into a
magical retreat.
This scheme was so entirely salts
factory that It will be their summer
home In the future. This summer
they have their own garden and
piano and wide piazza have been
added. The cost or the entire four
months did not equal what the family
paid for a weeks board at a summer
hotel the season before.
