There Is, Of course, a direct relation
be-. .reen the house and its surround
lngs. BY this we meal hat either the
surroundings must be laid out for the
house, or, as in the case where a spot
Of special natural beauty is selected
for the building site, the house must be
designed for the surroundings. The
latter case obtains in some small towns
and in country estates. The former
case, or a compromise between the
two, exists In the larger towns and
cities.
Perhaps 1t is not the case in this
the European countries, but the fact Is
true, nevertheless, that for the lover of
beauty both natural and architectural,
The small town which has been situated
where nature has furnished plenty of
trees, a pleasing topography and clear
watered streams-such a town offers
the best possible site for the building
of a home. The point is this: 1t is
cheaper and usually more satisfactory
to let nature furnish the attractive sur
roundings and model the home into the
background, than to build the back
ground for the home.
