Making House Entrance Attractive.

To one who must watch expenses carefully, the solution of the entrance to t|ie grounds of the country house is often a difficult task. When one can afford to employ the services of a landscape architect the problem is, of course, simplified. The guiding spirit here, aa in the structural features of the house itself, should be to create aij entrance, simple,! attractive, substantial and in harmony* with the surroundings. Stones are generally easy to procure* in the country; therefore stpne pillars with a durable gate between make an attractive entrance, within reach of even the limited purse. throwing vines and flowers will add! greatly to the general attractiveness of this approach and furnish the connecting link between entrance an<s grounds.
