Modern Awnings.

parent. Awning stripes are made now
adays in a great variety of styles and in
various colors and shades of color. 1t is
quite possible to get an awning to match
a building, or one that shall contrast
with it ~agreeably. I have seen lately
a large brownstone building equipped
with awnings having alternate stripes
in two shades of brown, shading admi-
rably with the stone, the whole produc-
ing a massive, harmonious and pleasing
effect. | have seen buildings of light
colored bricks with light stone or terra

effect somewhat striking perhaps, but
decidedly picturesque.
"The fact is that in the hands of a
competent person the awning may now
easily be made a great establishment of

indeed most of them are nowadays, it
becomes a thing of beauty and a joy, if
not forever, at least for the summer

SHIP CUSHIONS.
Measuring Vessels For Their Outft-What
Ship Cushions Are Made Of.


Measuring Vessels For Their Outft-What
Ship Cushions Are Made OF.
When a new vessel is ready to be fitted
out with her cushions, she is measured
for them, not as a church would be, for
a certain number of cushions of a spec
lted size to supply a certain number of
pews, but every space i'll which a cush-
ion is to be placed separately. On a
large vessel there might be a number of
cushions of the same dimensions, but
marine architecture is such that cush,
ions may be required on the same vessel
in a great variety of forms, and of vary
ing dimensions even within given lines,
narrower at II end, for instance, than
at the other. And cushions are made to
fit around masts, and around the round
ed ends of cabins, and in other spaces
where they must be made in the form
OF an arc of a circle, and ship cushions
are made V shaped and in other shapes
to fit into various hooks and joys.
All cushions are made with a vertical
front edge, and most of them are made
with a vertical rear edge, but ship

or beveled rear edge to fit handsomely
against the side of the vessel, which
serves as a back to the seat, but may
slope away at a sharper angle than seat
backs commonly do.
Practically every boat that is set
a1oat, whatever she may be, big or lit
tie, is individually measured through
| out for her cushions. The same materi.
ais for stuffing cushions that are used
on land are used on the water-hair,
moss, cotton and so on-and ship cush-
ions are sometimes stuffed with cork
clippings for their buoyant properties.
The materials most commonly used in
covering church cushions are damasks
and reps, the damasks more generally.
The material most commonly used in
covering ship cushions is mohair plush,
which is made in various colors and
qualities. Leather is also used in cover
ing ship cushions, especially in smok-
ing rooms and chartrooms and aboard
yachts, and it costs little, if any, more
than a fine quality of mohair plush
