and pheasants, partridges and WlIo
turkeys among the birds.
Kennels are also included In the large
country place, and Ii Is very interesting
to cut out dogs for the kennels, so that
IL one does not care for house furnish
ing and prefers outdoor things one may
be satisfied with pinning up desirable
outside mansion, and instead of FUR
nishing suitable rooms for il may in
stead sec that all the outdoor appoint
ments are correct.
Conservatories are n necessary part
of such an estate, and so you may show
both the outside and inside of these
buildings. The interior may be fur
nished with tropical plants of all sorts,
and besides you may have a house for
tropical fruit or for forced fruit, and
one for vegetables.
You may have beautiful meadow
with the ground covered with fresh
green grass and blue sky above On
this background you may place either
fine cattle or fine horses If you prefer
to devote your meadow to cattle select
the finest pictures of prize stock, and IL
you wish instead to make a speciality of
horses you will find great many pic
lures of beautiful horses both in the
newspapers and the magazines.
FURNISHING THE ROOMS
If you decide TO furnish the interior
for it on a magnificent scale, as mex
pensive furniture would be out of place.
OF course the furniture must go outside
the house, each room being marked off
and separated from the others. You
will need drawing rooms, a large din
ing room, breakfast room, library,
billiard room, large hall, ballroom,
kitchen, laundry, servants dining room,
storeroom, house keepers room, but
ler's pantry and broad lower halls for
the lower part of the house, while up
stairs will be the family rooms, includ-
ing private sitting room for the mis-
tress of the house, day and night
nursery for the children, family bed
rooms, and bedrooms, bathrooms, etc,
for the guests. Then there must be
some servants bedrooms linen room,
trunk room, store rooms, etc.
When you are furnishing the music
room you will find plenty of musical
instruments of all sorts carefully pic
tured so that you may cut them out
for your room.
Another apartment which may well
be included in this country house is the
picture gallery. This should be a long
room, usually narrow one, with fine
hangings at the windows and varied
collection of framed pictures the
wall. You will often see framed pic
lures in the rooms published in papers,
your gallery. A few fine statues may
also be used for the decoration of this
room.
COLLECTING PICTURES
When you are looking for pictures it
will sometimes seem that everything is
to be had except what you want IT is
best not to try to. get the pictures for
only one part of the house or grounds
at one time, but instead to cut out
everything that is sufficiently attract
i've to fit in anywhere. You should get
number of pictures in this way be-
fore you start to lay out your grounds
or to furnish the house. Then you can
sort them out and put them where
they belong and after that it is easy to
fill in the vacancies, not at once, but
as you happen to get new papers or
magazines.
Another way of using pictures cut
from the papers and magazines for
rainy day play is to lay out a. village
instead of q farm or country estate
The top of a table will do nicely for
this plan, and the pictures may be
pinned down if there is danger of
their blowing away.
In the village you may have row of
workmen's cottages, a row OF country
mansions, the main street with the
stores, the village church, the court
house, school, firehouse, town clock, H.
brary, postoffice and any other build
ings suitable to village. After you
have placed all the houses and other
buildings and set out trees and a viii
into the plan, motor cars, steamcars by
the railroad station, old farm wagons
on some of the streets, etc
