was left Of the ~obstructing tree but the
twigs. From these that artistic trio
fashioned the letters of the name they
had given their home, Havenswood.
There was not much left of that tree
when this unitarian rs well as artistic
family had finished with it.
The house was furnished about the
time the fad for old fashioned rag car
pets and bedspreads was coming in.
A p%rettily striped rag carpet was res
directed from the belongings of an
aunt of Mrs. Ravens. From feminine
ancestors, too. had descended to Mrs.
Ravens some of the blue and white
checkerboard counterpanes Of a CEN
fury ago. The rag carpet was stretch
ed upon the floor of the long living
room. The blue and white checker
board counterpanes were transformed
into portieres. They We're suspended
across the end of the living room near
est the kitchen, and thus a "cute' little
dining room was constructed all to it
self. 1t may be mentioned in passing
that the sideboard in this dining room
was made from a large packing box.
Off the kitchen is an icehouse, which
is filled by trusty hands in the winter,
during Mrs. Ravens absence in Brook
lyn, where her city home is.
The family of Edward Eggleston
have a cottage on Lake George near
Havenswood and are intimate friends
of the Havenses. DR.. Eggleston him
self in his lifetime watched with much
interest the transformation of Il fish
erman's empty cottage into a veritable
artists studio.

Miss Mary A. Ravens.

Miss Mary, the younger daughter Of
Mrs. J.. II. Ravens, is known as the
only woman on Lake George that can
run a naphtha launch. She is so well
up in engineering her little craft that
men who have summer homes on the
lake come to her when their own boats
are out of order to know what is the
matter and how to remedy the defect.
When guests come to the HavenswOod
cottage, Miss Ravens runs her pretty
launch over the waters of Lake George
to meet them at the railway station
and convey them home.
When the day of leaving comes, once
more the launch dances over the water,
speeding the parting guest homeward.
1t is esteemed a rare privilege to be
invited to spend some of the summer
weeks with the hospitable builders of
Hayenswood cottage.
Miss Ravens is a natural mechanic.
By profession she is an art p%hotogra-
pher, noted for the rare excellence and
beauty of her work. But she is one
of those gifted individuals who can
turn a hand to anything"

Hunting BlindfoId,

This is a simple little game, but it
makes lots of fun. One of the players
Is to be blindfolded, and the others
stand about the Don as they please.
The blindfolded one then walks or
gropes around until he touches q play
er, and the player touched must stand
still and make a noise in imitation of
some animal-say a cat, a dog, a COW,
a pig or a horse.
If the blindfolded player chooses, he
can have the sound made three times,
and if he then guesses the name of the
person the 'erson takes his place. If
he does not guess correctly he releases
the player and tries again.

COTTAGE.
How Three Capable Women Built an
Attractive Country Home.

One of the most attractive homes
among the Lake George summer colo-
MES is Havenswood, where Mrs. ] II.
Ravens lives, with her two daughters,
during the warm months. How the
lovely home was transformed, almost
foot by foot, from a fisherman's ram
shackle shanty to a model of comfort
and artistic beauty is an interesting
story.
Mrs. Ravens, artist, interior designer
and decorator, has an intuitiye sense
of the possibilities of improvement in
everything in her professional line.
With this fortunately goes also the
shrewd financial sense which can in
stantly discern what will pay. Thus
endowed, she is able to seize oppor-
tunities, both artistic and financial,
that most would pass unheeding.
Several summers Mrs. Ravens spent
in the White mountains, always with
the two daughters, who are part of her.
self. There she saw Indian basketry
and various artistic trifles on sale, and
they brought good prices. Mrs. Ha-
vens, too, began to make and sell ar
tistic souvenirs. She also gave les
sons in painting and decorative work.
She did well financially, as she always
does, for she keeps up with popular
taste and fads. Mrs. Ravens succeed
ed SO well with art sales in the White
mountains that at length she and her
girls said, "Why can't we have a sum-
mer home of our OWN"
They bought a fisherman's cottage
on a tiny promontory jutting out into
Lake George. The house lacked all
that constitutes home. except, indeed,
mere shelter. The White mountain
earnings had bought the place; the
mex thing was to improve and furnish
it. This came by degrees. All three
entered into the task with a will.
First the old cottage was raised to
two stories, and a large, square We
randa was built in front. From this
veranda the view of Lake George is
~uneXcelled.
One night a mighty wind blew and
overturned a noble birch directly across
the o to the Ravens cottage. I'm
mediately Mrs. Ravens saw here, too,
her chance. She bought the tree for a
small sum-. Whereabouts was an old
Indian of all work named Pete. Pete
cut the tree into proper lengths, and
Mrs. Ravens sold it for lumber enough
TO pay for necessary cottage furniture.
Also Whereabouts was an ancient car
penter who 'had just sense enough to
do what he was told" Under the di-
rection of Miss Mary Ravens the me-
chanical expert of the family made
from the remains of the tree rustic set.
