A wooden stairway winds around
the trees trunk leading to the single
chamber above, allowing an easy as

is made of wood and was designed by
young Lees and his chum, Vail Apple
gate. a freshman at Dartmouth col
lege. The boys built the house lit
tie more than two years ago, but it is
only lately that they have converted
it into a sleeping place.
At first their intention was simply
to build a crows nest where they
could seclude themselves ON rainy aft
ernoons and days when it was too hot
for active exercise. The crows nest"
did not prove to be large enough. so
the boys added a large platform
which forms what they call their
for an ordinary sized dining-room
table and comfortably accommodates
six or eight diners.
After Lees and Applegate had the
house completed their parents took an
interest in it. They recognized that
it would be fine place to sit in the
warm weather. Mrs. Lees suggested
that a stairway be added to enable the
Older folk to climb to the tree top. 1t
took the boys three months to build it..
1t was last summer that Lees and

like to see how it would feel to sleep

thereafter they would, while the
weather was warm, sleep in the tree.
