Honour, Randolphs Honour, or Erskn's
Honour, though BaIly, Hope, or Honour
| have equal reference to seaside or inland
estates Very popular in America is the
| addition of the surname with the word
! Folly, not always used in derision, as for
| the beautiful ruined Hazards Folly on the
I Rhode Island seacOast, since elsewhere we
! find Digby's Folly and Carey's Folly, as
/ splendid, wel-maintained seaside homes.
1t must he a spacious pile and fine that
receives the designation hall with the sur
| name before it, but a little house may take
| its owners title effectively, as Elleudale.
| Cha rleycOte, CharlemOnt, Ellengowan,
] Alannah. Maryvale, Arthulie, Sweet vii
/ liam, and the like arrangement. Should
4 the family name be 10th dignified and
! euphonious it Will sound very well alone
/ for such titles as Isngdon, Melville. Mar
shall and Bronson possess sufficient dig
I nifty and meaning in themselves.
FOR SEASIDE HOMES.
! When a house by the seaside is to re-
! ceive it's designation many Indian words
| come to mind. as Mattapoisette, meaning
| place OF rest by the water; oudawa, within
| sound of the waters; Untowawa in the
mists; combe, hoe. moor, dune, etc; are
| some OF the seaside sufrixes that help out
excellently in compiling a good name, of
| which Higher-COmbe, Wyyernhoe, Dune
| dene, and Moorfield are examples; Seamont.
Lisreagan, Fownhope, Dunganmoor, and
| Falaise, the latter meaning a cliff, are
/ names suitable for rather more stately
! mansions at watering places, while
| Breczecote, Sea-urchius, Wing and Wing,
Leeward, and Watershcen are only appro-
pirate to the modest cottages. Back from
the water the little house, set in its own
pocket handkerchief of q dooryard, shaded
by some fine old fruit trees, becomes ap-
propriately Applegarth, garth being a
Scotch word for garden; or RoSethwaite, the
last also a Gaelic term for cultivated
ground. Set amid flowers it can be called
Rosegarlaud, or subrosa, Bramble-tye, OF
Belle-garde.
WHEN IN THE HILLS.
A group of young women who have built
their own summer house i'll one of the
popular country settlements among the fair
Berkshire Hills, have respectively named
their charming cabins, Alicia, Felicia and
Adelaide, after themselves; another house
keeper calls her demesne Ladyland; u third
maiden's mansion is Lucknow, since she
never had luck till she dweltin it; neighbor
calls hers Pennyroyal, for she says IL only
cost her penny and 1t provided her with
royalfun. Hawthorndenis white with hedge
blossoms in spring; Bonheur is the jolliest
cottage in the settlement, and on an eleva-
ton in lourishing vegetable garden stands
Cornhill.
Heathcote, rear neighbor to Kushaqua. the
Indian name for a squaw's retreat Be-
sides these are score OF lodges, brown.
white and gray, pretty brookside cottage,
rightly bearing the name Overlook. since
beck implies brook; back bit in the forest
stands Underwoods; at the edge of The forest
rises AttToode, and beside it is Birdwood,
with its balcony hung with canaries.
Overlooking the meadows is Bloomfield;
by the river is Willowlea, and the house
near the church, where the clergyman re-
sides, is rightly called the Manse.
There are, however. the same guiding
rules that hold good for the naming of
the more expansive country place, which
is holm II near marshes. lynn near 4
waterfall, n priory when the architec-
ture is semi-ecclesiastical. Il grange il a
farm, or the addition of hurst implies
nearness to groves; bury signifies manor
house; minister, n large parsonage; court,
something little less than a palace. and
-fead, q second definition Of farm.
