10 AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS January, 1910 from seed brought from the Alps, constitute the feature of another spot. Thus one moves on, always something to see, always something to enjoy, nature everywhere helped in spots, it is true, but helped naturally and in a way that gives zest to the ramble. And presently the path grows narrower and narrower. Quite before one realizes it one is standing on a slender ridge, deep sloping down on either side. The trees have disappeared with the land, for one is far above their tops. A scramble down a couple of rocks and one stands on the summit of a rocky promontory that rises from an unknown depth. Great mountains shut in the distant view; but in a cleft, as it were, in their mighty sides, the brilliant sun pours down on the towers of Manhat- tan, that on a clear day, may be seen from this wonderful place of vantage. Hence, if you please, you can walk on in the forest for half an hour without leaving the private grounds, and still beyond lie thousands of acres of Tuxedo Park, where wild deer roam in peace, and ferns and wild flowers blossom in sun and shade.
