AN IDEA FOR A WEATHERVANE
A correspondent of the “House Beautiful” describes a weather-vane of novel design. “A weather-vane beipg an excellent object on which originality may be displayed, we decided that for our new house we would have one that would be a little different from any other, and would seem to belong particularly to the place. An inspiration prompted us to get out the blue-prints of the house and make the design from them. In the completed weather-vane we have a perfect miniature representation of the house and garage. A flatboard was used, the house and garage drawn on it, using, one must admit, a little artistic license in spacing so that the effect might be well balanced in the completed vane. The house and garage appear connected by a picket fence, with shrubs in the yard. The vane is substantial, and in good proportion. Even tiie colour scheme is carried out like the original buildings, and the finished product is unique amongst vanes. It is mounted on a corner of our picket fence, near tlie road.”
