FOR THE DRIVE.
SIMPLE WOODEN LAMP-POSTS. In many parts of the country and suburbs it is becoming the habit to iruild the fiome fairly far back from the roadway. The daily increase of motor traffic makes this essential on account of noise and dust, and it is ►vise to take this precaution. The one disadvantage is at night, especially for visitors not acquainted with the direction of the drive or path. A means of overcoming this trouble is by having spaced at given distances suitable lamp-posts. Their exact location will, of course, depend upon the number of curves or turnings leading to the house. On a straight run, one or two such posts may suffice. As regards the construction of these useful features, many different forms of design can be resorted to, but it will be found that simplicity of design will have much to commend itself, both for appearance and cost. A plain gibbet of wood, about eight or nine feet high, from which an electric lantern can be suspended, is as suitable and as simple a design as any.
