Nassau straw mats, the veranda Is al

touch about them that is at once sug

strips Of ordinary straw mating. Thi:

to ill any space. The custom Of using
Japanese portieres and Venetian blinds
is pretty one, and is more desirable
than the awning in that il makes al
agreeable yelling from passersby, besides
giving shade.
The commonest pine chairs and tables,
foot rests, and stools give peculiarly
"plein air" feeling when painted in solid
yellow. Inverted butter firkins, painted
to match the chairs, are no novelty for
plant rests, but they cannot be improved
upon. The piazza can serve almost as 8
catch-all for odd chairs and tables which
are a bit shabby for indoors. A few
coats of yellow paint make surprising
transformation, and one Is so filed with
the delights Of the fresh green surround
ings and general air Of comfort that in
stead Of examining one sinks into the
cushions of an old chair with delicious
sense Of lassitude. And what are these
cushions? Some of the prettiest are blue
and red plaid towelling! And this Is
pretty for little table covers, too.
