old dwellings which belonged to the we'll
to-do farmer OF a half a century ago.
ITS location was ideal situated, rs "
was, in the midst OF
"Hill. dale and shady woods and sunny
plains.
And languid lapse OF murmuring streams"
The dwelling itself. though badly out OF
repair. was one OF those typical old two
story farm houses which 40 readily lend
themselves (because OF the many long, low
rooms and ample halls) To improvements
of various kinds.
An examination Of the house from cell
lar to attic proved to Mrs. Potter its
adaptability for her purposes
The grounds. too, round about the
dwelling and especially the beautiful
brook, hard by, suggested Infinite possi-
bilties for landscape architecture OF the
highest type
Accordingly arrangements we're made
for the Improvement OF the house and
grounds--which were extensive and costly.
The running stream just at the foot of
the long lawn was widened and deepened
and relieved of the rank growth OF weeds
and accumulations of years.
The bottom ~ the stream was filled
with pebbles. and bog garden con-
tanning bright old-fashioned flowers and
vines, so dear 10 the heart or children,
was planted all along the farther side Of
the stream.
A rustic bridge was built across II and
piles OF rocks artisticaly placed here and
there.
Added 10 all this. tall poplar trees were
planted all along the side OF the brook
nearest TO the house and the result or this
loving care Is evident today I'm beau
tful picture which is not only the delight
of the children but of every visitor who
Is so fortunate as TO behold IT,
he bridge Look
ing down the stream one does not wonder
that the little children are fascinated
with the scene and
Find tongues I'm trees, books in the run
ming brooks,
And good in everything"
The grounds are shaded with beautiful
old elm trees, while a stately ash at the
farthest corner OF the lawn attracts the
eve at once for its beauty and symmetry.
A dozen hammocks, easy chairs and
bright red settees are scattered here and
there under the trees and here the chill
dren love 90 linger I'm the long afternoons
Under the great ash Is the croduet
ground. which IL a source OF much enjoy
ment for the children.
But. leaving the grounds and entering
the house, one Is impressed at once with
the rare taste and simplicity which char
acterizes the furnishings and arrange
ments on every side.
IL Is evident that much study and
care has been spent In making the inter
Tor attractive and uplifting 20 childhood.
The walls are adroned with excellent re-
productions OF the madonnas and other
pictures Of childhood from famous mas
ters.
Great Jars OF flowers placed here and
there appeal 20 the sense OF beauty In

open piano lends also 20 its charm.

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

Last evening the American Opera com
panS presented Van Flotow's ever delight
ful opera OF Martha at the Providence
Opera House to a large and sympathetic
audience. Martha is an opera that
though a bit old fashioned in its ideas
is very amusing and tells an Old but
ever new tale
The opera has some OF the most beau
tiful gems ia the whole range OF opera
the opera as whole is not as popular
as some Of far less worth. Last evenings
production though gave satisfaction TO
the devotees Of good music who heard
the efforts Of the company. The prin-
cipaI work falls to the quartet, though
there are delightful solos.
The story is well known and It's quiet
drollery was well brought out by the
principals last evening AS for the chorus
il again gave renewed evidence OF its
power and sweetness especially fine being
it's work ia the third act.
The main work though falls on the
characters OF Nancy and Martha. The
latter being Lady Harriet Rosmarie
Pauline Johnson that OF Martha. Both
enter into the spirit OF the difficult scenes
In a manner that Is very satisfactory.
Miss Campbell has the best opportunity
she has vet had here in this character.
Her singing last evening was very good
aud her fun making was lively and ale
ways in keeping with the quiet merrimont
of the opera which Is none the less sat
isfactory because It is never boisterous.
She was especially pleasing In her love
song in the second act.
Miss Johnson made a very good Lady
Harriet and her abandon and merriment
I'm the part Of Martha gave great plas-
ure Her work in the quartet was In
time. She sang with delightful sweetness
the undying Last Rose of Summer" and
received most earnest encore.
Walter Wheatley, n new tenor OF the
company, sang the part OF Lionel lie
is an interesting and pleasing addition TO
the company. He has a good voice and
has a most interesting and satisfactory
idea Of the character OF the lover OF
Lady Harriet Mr.. Schneider is one OF the
favorites Of the company and last evening
he received much approval for his work
as Plunkett He left nothing 20 be de-
sired either I'm the duets or In the quar-
tet work and he won for himself new
friends.
This opera will be presented until Sat
urday evening. That IL will prove one of
the best the excellent company has pre-
sented is not TO be disputed.
