II is a yellow house of stucco and brick,
freshly painted for the season and without
a suspicion of CRIME or smoke. Each OF
the windows is edged with a box Of dark
green tiles holding long stemmed yellow
flowers, like fringed buttercups; the door is
of enapelled green, and knocker, handle
and doOrknobs are newly polished brass.
There is a red house, cardinal tinted, the
trimmings Of which are of dull wrought
iron, and parallel rows of red genaniums
mingle with glossy leaves. 1t is a house
that on "a hot day in New York would
send you flying TO a far off shelter; here
with the July sun in evidence It is a
bright and attractive oasis in a desert of
drabs and grays.
A black and white brick facade has for
decorations huge boxes fairly overtopped
with hundreds Of golden hearted mar

away blooms with roses and white peoples.

done in contrasting shades of green, with
the usual polished myrtle shade for the
