THE LIBRARY WHERE MRS DELAND WORKS.
CORNER
Authors Love for Flowers Shown in Every
Nook and Corner-..Dogs From Which She
Draws Her Canine Characters

Every February for many years Mrs. Deland
has been holding very successful sales of plants
which she has forced from different varieties OF
bulbs in her nursery at the rear Of the house

been placed in position tout lie monde" was vel.
come to come, look. admire and buy for sweet
charity's sake.
Equal to Mrs. Deands love Of flowers Is her
fondness for pets, and she has for her constant
companions these bObtailed dogs Rough, Gibbie
and Bella. more often called Grille Rough was
purchased from the kennels Of Mrs. Richard
Harding Davis. He rejoces in number Of
names. When he is bathed and sweet smelling
his mistress calls him Ruffles; when he has been
fighting Ruffian, and when covered with dust
and dirt Rough Scuff. II is evident that Mrs
Deland writes from n personal experience OF
canine nature when she brings her dogs into her
stories.

The walls here are treated with Il soft shade
Of blue. and the bookcases are similar in design
to those OF the library. Here again are Colonial
pieces Of furniture and flowers galore.
One noticeable feature in the house Is the
many books and bookcases. Low bookcases
painted white found in every room. These
never give one the gloomy impression conveyed

shelves which reach from floor to ceiling 1t Is

About this home there is great distinction as
charming as it is elusive. 1t lies not In the
architectural beauty OF its arrangement or In
the rare old furniture or in the abundance Of
flowers but in the house itself as q unit 1t Is
typical of Mrs Deland herself as shown in her
writings. bright and cheerful and at the same
time retiring and transformations.
Mrs. Deland entered the literary field through
n gateway of flowers. Her first published volume
was called THE Old Garden and Other Verse"
But 1t was an original idea with her to turn her
love Of Horticulture toward charitable object.
