summer Furniture.

Decorations for summer homes are now
engrossing. The wide vine shaded piazzas
are Justly regarded AS the most delightful
lounging places and receive much atten-
ton from the tasteful housekeeper Hand
some rugs are strewn about, low sewing
chairs flank trefoil and star shaped tables,
and divan piled with cushions is sine
qua non of all well regulated piazzas. For
the lower and most used veranda one COW
cred with corduroy may be recommended
to wear indefinitely. Dark blue or stone
blue are good colors, though one seen last
summer of rich scarlet corduroy was won.
derfully effective after the sun went down.
These touches are usually covered plain,
with box plated valance of the material
around the seat. They are wide and low,
and their pillows are of many shapes,
square, oblong, big and little. to fit into
restful attitudes Such couches are put
out in May and are not taken indoors till
November, and even under such conditions
keep fresh for number of seasons. Other
piazza divans are done up in blue denise,
which requires little embroidery at least
on the pillows to be effective.
For the upper verandas, where the wom-
en- of the family loiter through the morn
ings with sewing, reading and writing,
cane sofas, with sateen and china silk pill
lows, are popular. The cane work table,
with brass tipped legs, is apt to be found in
this alfresco sitting room, and cane
rack to hold newspapers and magazines
secure from an invading breeze is another
essential.
Some novelties are seen in foot cushions.
Among such are those of embossed leather
red and brown, pretty for the library and
dining room. Small tufted oblongs, close
ly resembling mattresses. are covered with
rugs, and are suitable for foot rests in any
room. For the cool looking white and gold
parlors and drawing rooms of pretentious
residences, the llama foot stools with gilt
feet are effective, and the young woman
whose slipper rests upon one may fancy
her pet poodle is supporting it.-Her Point

Nationality in Art.

The men most prominent in American
art today are, in the majority, of Partisan
training, so much so that the most familiar
reproach directed against their work is
that it lacks national character. That this
criticism, if applied to a period of transit
ton, has basis of truth is undeniable, for
nothing is more natural than that the first
steps in any career should be directed by
the influences which have presided over
preparatory studies. But if we take ten
years to be the shortest period in which
young painter ON his return from Europe
can gain foothold here, it will be found
at the end of that time that, subjected to
the various influences of the intellectual
and material life Of his native country, he
has taken on more of our national charac-
teristics than he is given credit for.
Modern art is essentially cosmopolitan,
and as nations obey the iron rule of the
general average, so in art the national char
aeteristics become fused and blended until
they are questions of detail more than of
Fundamental construction. Paris fin de
steele has keen eve for detail, however,
and we may depend upon i that, measured
by its standards, the exhibition by dus
painters may be found wanting Ia many
things rather than in tn. personality which.

It may have oee1 the rain that hoodooed
the OaklRnds, or perhaps 1t was that
touching little scene from Romeo and
Juliet enip ted in one of the boxes. Along
about the middle of the game some one in
the grand stand discovered the shipper
ing, sad eyed lovers in the act of plighting
their troth ia the box.
They had evidently wandered in from
the Alfalfa girded regions round about
Mlpitas TO take in the Decoration Day ex-
ercises Then somebody steered them out
TO the ball park, where they PLACED them
selves on exhibition in their great two
hearts-that- beat-as-one act.
In plain sight of 1900 people and the
players they sat lovingly clasped in each
others arms. thinking thoughts too utterly
utter for words. First he would raptur-
oukly kiss the maiden and then gaze down
into the sweet, soulful depths Of her lovelit
ewes, and she would bury her face in his
celuloid collar and sigh like bathtub ex-
haust.
docs her love her little tootsey?" he
would exclaim with all the feryency of
which strong man is capable.
"Well, / should gurgle, Petite" and the
listening winds waited the answer to the
eight thousand expectant ears in the grand
stand.
They took no interest whatever in the
game us they sat in silent bliss, utterly OBJ
livious TO the shouts of ''Shut the door"
and BREAK away Both audience and
players forgot the game for three innings
while watching the unconscious young
couple in the box.
Once, while the uproar was at its height,
Romeo tore himself away from Juliet's
side long enough to 20 out on the balcony
and ascertain, if possible, the cause of the
excitement. He glanced down toward the
score board, thinking perhaps, that some
important news had just arrived from San
jose He then returned to the impatient
maiden, who had not been kissed for nearly
two seconds, and made it as pleasant for
her AS he could.
Not until the game was over did the
young folks learn that their sacred seance
in the box had been exposed to the vulgar
gaze of cold, unfeeling world. As they
wee leaving the park some one exclaimed,
There they are. " and the crowd gave them
a vigorous round of applause. The girl
wound veil around her crimson cheeks,
and Romeo instlnctvely felt in his girdle
for dagger with which to stab himself to
death.-San Francisco Chronicle.
