4 Gown Of Old Brocade-

All trimmed with oldeu lace,

To the northern traveller in southern
states the veranda of Dixie's land Is
source of never-endng delight, says the
chicago Chronicle Southerners have al
vavs made their verandas, or galleries.
as they can them, a living place, but only
vitbin a comparatively few years have
~. Of other ATTITUDES learned the delights
of them along with our growing apprecia-
t,on of open air life in all its forms Inc
larger the veranda the better, of course
for one cannot have too much OF good
.bInr like that. But even the average cot
taae porch may be made much more of
An the way of restfulness than is COM
monty the case.
Shade is a first consideration. To secure
this bamboo curtains striped or White
canvas ones, or trailing vines, must be en-
Moved. Those of bamboo flap good deal
and do not stand rain, while the awnings
can be held in place easily and are not hurt
nv a sprinkllng But thickly grown vine
most fittingly frames the outdoor parlor
ike a screening veil that half reveals and
half conceas the charms within. Wiste-
ria and bonevsuckle are stand-bys. but
clematis and cypress will grow very rap
idly. so that the newcomer may have ms
porch hung with it by the end of the first
season.
Having secured his bit of privacy, 1t Is
an easy matter to make it inviting. Hith-
er are brought the wide, low wicker chairs
and rockers; across one corner is swung
a hammock filled with cushions covered
in linen; against the house stands a straw
tabourette, with ice pitcher and glasses,
and on the floor in the other corner is
spread an Indian blanket, carriage lap
robe or a simple jute rug. On this So
called Turkish pile" are thrown cool pill
lows of straw-stuffed denim.
A tired man can rest himself very COM
fortably at fun length on this Turkish
pile when he ioyfully reaches his subur-
ban home late on a hot afternoon Some
tines sick or fretful baby can be rocked
10 sleep in the open-air porch hammock,
when the sultriness of indoors will not
allow it to rest. A number of fiat straw
porch mats are usually on hand to place
along the steps for seats if the hospitality
OF the outdoor parlOr is taxed by more
callers than the chairs can accommodate.
Gloves are among the most important
items of a womans attire. That is aG-
knowledged by every one. They are cost
", because there must be so many of them
20 keep my lady's hands neatly covered;
and they are tiresome, because the work
OF putting on a new pair of gloves is not
the easiest thing in the world when one is
hot or in a hurry, or tired. or ready to go
out, or anxious TO see whether the new
giants harmonic with the tailor-made
dress. To one who has never deeply con-
sidered the question Of such one could
possibly be a woman, there is doubt
whether a sl1intght glove, or one loose
enough TO show the little wrngles in the
back affected by men, is the better. Let
q be said that the decision should depend
upon the shape of the hand. Some hands
look more stylish in a tight glove than a
loose one, and vice versa. Every woman
must be a law unto herself in this matter.
but she may assure herself that there is
no iron-bOund rule Of fashion or taste TO
compel her to so to an extreme either way.
The color Of gloves? Is that problem?
One would hardly think SO, since the tone
