'[HE CHARM OF
WHITE AND GREEN
When you go along Kennesaw Ave
nue and see that long piazza, draped
with green vines with a snowy line of
clematis blossoms at the top, what pic
ture does it recall?
% Weddings with decorations in white
;and green? Tangles of vines in low
ground meadows, or wild clematis
}clinging to red gullies in North Geor
gia? Or little snowy capped waves
when the tide begins to ripple toward
the beach?
~ There is something positively thrill
iing in newly-fallen snow, white daisies
in a green meadow, magnolias far up
in the glossy leaves, a bride before an
altar of palms, and a very white house
on a grassy lawn with green trees
around it.
When such a house is at the top of
a hill, with a very gradual declivity to
the highway, then its charm is height
ened by the trees like a pretty face
through a veil. i
When a house thus situated has big‘
fluted columns in front and suggests
a temple by its imposing size, then a
beholder longs for a closer view.
The Western and Atlantic railroad
comes into Marietta from Atlanta be
tween hills. One is marked by the
Confederate monument and the other,
on the right of the road, is crowned
with two.very old houses, one shining
snowy white through the trees and
the other with immense pillars that
have stood there over sixty years and
are considerably weatherbeaten. These |
have also a grape-vine clinging across |
them,
That thrilling effect of white and
green draws many visitors up the hill
for a closer view of the house, and,
when their atmosphere of utter peace
and quiet is felt, the wayfarers sigh to
rest themselves within it. So thosel
two houses are often mistaken by
strangers for places at which summerf
visitors might sojourn. l
There are gardens on this hill and'
chickens and old-fashioned shrubbery |
and such flowers as our grandmothersl
loved. Mrs. J. H. Boston, the mistress !
of the snowy mansion, is a sister of
Joseph E. Brown, the war governor of
Georgia, and an aunt of the present
governor, Joseph M. vrown. She has
lived there nearly forty years and it
hias been the home of her sons and of
one lovely daughter, still living in Ma
rietta, whose oniy girl will soon be
“Standing with reluctant feet
Where the brook and river meet.”
Mrs. Boston’s children are all mar
ried and in their own homes. She
lcves the old place, with its cool
shade, its wide verandas and its
friendly song birds and only laughs
softly and shakes her head when way
farers come up and beg to be taken in
for the summer,
The other house is the home of Mrs.
Stubinger, the only one left of five
visters who spent long lives there. It
was built years before the war and
naturally has been the scene of va
rivug interesting events both sad and
joyful.. It was used by northern sol
diers just betore the close of the war.
Now the grandmother who lives
there has with her four grandchildren,
who cling to their ancestral home with
fond devotion and can not bear to
think of sharing it with any summer
sojourners, sBtill the charm of white
and green remains and wayfarers con
tinue to climb the long hill.
