PIAZZA FURNITURE.
How 10 Transform "A Veranda Into an
Out-of-DOor ParlOr.

There was a time when in our more
northern towns and villages furniture
adapted especially for use on the
piazza was unheard of; when even a
chair was considered a blot upon the
fair surface of the shining floor, and
the barren. spotless cleanDess of the
-front stoop" was a thing to be won
dered at. Nowadays things are differ

within the reach of almost everyone.
