Designs for Summer-Houses
design for a summer-house
" Yeo " sends a plan (without a scale,
unfortunately). We can hardly see why
one should leave a presumably beau-
tiful garden and immure oneself in a
room the windows of which are so high
that not the slightest view of the sur-
roundings could possibly be obtained
from them.
" Onyx" sends a capital drawing of
an excellent design. A second design,
illustrated on page 291, this time of
a more architectural character, by
" Mamarbashi," shown in a sepia
drawing, is full of merit; but we would
ask him not to cover his dome with
gold mosaic, as he proposes. No ex-
ternal gold tesserae have the least chance
of lasting more than a year or two in
England. " Pooh-Bah " seems to have
an excellent scheme in his head, and
we can only regret that he did not
help us to see its points to better
advantage by submitting a detailed
plan with it.

piers carrying flower pots, it, indeed, the dipping tion has produced evidences of considerable

think would have been none

by the overhanging of the
