CARTER AND WH1TTEM0RE IN THE ST. VALENTINES all others in the world for his permanent home. He has past through many trying periods during the last few years and is, no doubt, looking forward with pleasant anticipation to the time when he can retire from public life with the realization that he has served his native land and can return from a "far country" to round out his rich and fruitful life in peace and comfort on his farm in Moore County, North Carolina, United States of America. Pinehurst appreciates the com pliment and takes him to her heart. Dr. Page's house stands on an emin ence overlooking the Carolina Hotel, the dairy and the golf courses. It will be of brick, colonial in type and will be com plete, even luxurious, in its appointments, though simple and dignified withal. This was also planned by Loring & Leland, and the work of construction is being done by Mr. Tufts' men under the supervision of Mr. J. R. McQueen. AN ARTISTIC LOG HOUSE We now turn about, doubling on our tracks, going back as far as the railroad where we turn off to the left and proceed along a new road near the track, some thing like a mile, when we come to an opening on top of a high hill command ing a truly wonderful view of the sur rounding country. Perched on the very top is an "old timey" log cabin. It is the Winter residence of Mr. C. T.. Crocker of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and is not one of your make-believe patched-up log cabins, framed and boarded with slabs on the outside, but a sure enough "John Diamond" old fashioned log house built from "murmuring pines" from the ' ' Forest Primeval. ' ' Even the partitions are of logs, and the whole structure is in keeping with the general design. While its appearance carries the mind back to the days when the Indians roamed the forests and the white settlers lived their simple lives with all outdoors for company, yet it 'will have all the modern luxuries one could wish. When completed there will be nine rooms, numerous baths, steam heat, electric lights, and even that great est of all modern conveniences, a tele phone. Mrs. Dana has completed her new resi dence among the pines and Charlie Mason has been working like a Chinaman all Summer on his acres and will have his orchard in shape by Christmas tide. This completes the list "of residences built by private individuals during the past Summer, but in addition to these, Mr. Tufts has erected a new tenant house near the greenhouses, another near the dairy and a third on the edge of one of the golf courses, not far from the South ern Pines Road. The new Country Club House and the log house at the Gun Club are described in another column. TWEIf T'.JiVE. IlEllIDEXCEft (Continued from page two) four bed rooms with two sleeping porches on the second floor. All the bed rooms have communicating baths ; and there will be a laundry in the basement. In the rear a garage will be built with living accom modations for chauffer and his family. The house has been named the "Myrtle" and will be occupied by J udge Sanf ord H. Steele of Brooklyn, New York, well known and highly esteemed in Pinehurst, who will take possession about the middle of November. The plans for the house were made by Loring & Leland of Boston. On the opposite corner is a bungalow owned by Mr. A. J. DeMott of Syracuse This is of the cottage type with broad porches and fine sunny rooms. It is ad mirably arranged to fit the lot, and though appearing to be a one story struc ture, has splendid spacious rooms on the second floor. To. Mr. John McCleary, the contractor, is due the credit for plans for this. And right here hangs a tale calculated to impress on the mind the rapidity of growth during the past year. When Mr. DeMott decided to buy this lot last Spring he stated to the writer that he appreciated the fact that he was going away out in the suburbs and that for his part he was tired of pioneering, but since Mrs. DeMott had set her mind upon that particular site and seemed to desire it above all others, he was willing to take it for her sake and wait a few years for the development to overtake him. At this moment he is surrounded on all sides by elaborate dwellings that look as though they had always been there and like Topsy, "jest growed." SPENCER WATERS' DOMAIN Next to Mr. DeMott 's, at the corner of Shaw and Beulah Hill Roads, is Mr. Spencer Waters' house. This will be a two story structure, the upper portion of stucco, and the whole has been splendidly planned to afford the accommodation Mr. Waters and his family require. The de sign is the work of Mr. Lyman Sise of Boston, and is especially appropriate for the particular spot it occupies. Mrs. Waters has taken a great interest in the planning and building of this house and is entitled to no little credit for the ingenious arrangement of the rooms and the pleasing appearance of the exterior. Coming down Beulah Hill Road toward the Carolina, one will pass, on an emi nence above the "Rosemary," an impos ing building of English mien with half timbered gables of stucco and the lower portion of white clapboards treated with Cabot's "Virginia White." This is the property of Mr. James Barber and is ' ' some ' ' house. Mrs. Barber says it needs to be, because her husband has (Continued on page seventeen) I!
