Take A Strong, Tall Tree ... and you can practically live in it

IF YOU'RE AS LUCKY AS Mark and Barry, there will be one quite near your house—and your father will be an expert builder, besides. Their dad had a tree house when he was young, so he knew how important it was for boys to have a place all their own, where no one could get at them, where they could hold their meetings and hatch their plots and carry on their business of the day and, sometimes, just get together and talk. One of the very first things the men in the family did when they bought the place was to go looking for The Tree. They found it about 500 feet from their house, a strong 80-foot hickory with an 18-inch-thick base. It was close enough to be within earshot, and yet when the tree house was finished, 40 feet up the hickory, it was a whole new little world unequalled anywhere, with a three-mile view on one side (right to the top of the water tower) and a six-mile view in the other direction, straight down the valley, and no boy ever made could want a better hideaway. For builder's diagram and suggestions, write to: Box TH, SUBURBIA TODAY, 60 East 56th Street, New York 22, N. Y. PHOTOGRAPHS BY DELMAR LIPP Retreat is reached by trap door and has rails all around; below — boys set out for tree to make a night of it. Since this tree house is so high, the no-standing rule is strictly enforced, but it could be built much closer to the ground and still be great fun.
