Text Appearing After Image:
The vista from the porch towards the grove of pines in front of the Coit camp is delightful Board floorings throughout the house prevent dampness, and the interior partitions are of carefully matched boards. An annex, fitted up with bunks, and protected at the front with the same waterproof sail arrangement as the bedrooms and living-room of the camp proper, stands at one side of the main camp, and is used as a guest house. Casement windows render it wholly light and airy. It is finished in the same manner as the main dwelling, and commands the same picturesque outlook. The cost complete of the camp and the annex of bunks was exactly five hundred dollars. The joy of living in such a house is that derived from the kinship with nature which a dwelling of this sort makes pos- sible, a contact with the outside world of growing things, of trees, shrubs, flowers and vines, of birds and of blue skies and white clouds, even of the Winter's landscape, a contact that must finally exert upon anyone an enormous influence. Rainy days may come, but who has not discovered how glori- ous the countryside appears through the veil of the storm, and in its freshened beauty afterwards? With a roaring blaze in the huge fireplace of this camp, around whose crack- ling logs the family and friend gather, and from their vant- age point of comfort gaze out on the changed landscape, who would say a day like this was gloomy, who could find monotony in the hour, or for the moment, welcome change?
