IDecora tons and F1tllnSS OF some Hand

From the spectacular point of view
it is the houseboats that make Henle.
what it is. The fringe of these aquati,
and in the foreground Of a greenclad
billy vista form a picture which il
unique and wonderfully fascinating
The first of these floating residences will
perhaps be voted the best by numerous
spectators. 1t is without question
very lovely. The name Of the boat is
the Rouge Et-Noir, and it is the proper

S. B. Joel. Mrs. S, b. Joel is entertain
ing there on all the days of the regatta,
and a very large canvas covered room
has been erected, tastefully decorated,
furnished and draped, on the land at the
back to serve as banqueting hall for
the guests The deck of the houseboat,
as white as that of a yacht, is used as
luxurious lounge, the awning gerani-
UNI red, and the chairs and cushions all
of the same bright color. The fornt of
the boat is fairly framed in flowers;
hanging baskets of dropping ferns and
creepers depend from the awning, while
all along are white marguerites, pink
ivy geranium, great groups of white
odorous lilies and white hydrangeas.
In the centre of the boat is a large green
| horseshoe, bearing the name Rouge-Et-
| Noir in pale pink, the combination maxi
| ing Mr.. Joel's racing colors. This boat
boasts a veranda rallied in with white

truly shipshape style. Among the
flowers are white life belts, bearing the
boats name, happily the sole use to
which they are likely to be put. Over
her waves her own red and black flag
and at one end flag of pink and green
stripes-again the racing colors. Mrs.

1t will give some idea of the elaborate
nature of the Rouge Et-Noir's decorat-
ions to say that she has on board three
thou and pots of all kinds Of plants. Her
neighbors on the other side are barges,
SO that her elaborate decorative scheme
stanrs out alone in it's beauty. At

sparkle amid the flowers.
John Balfour's Sunbeam is a pretty
boat. From the deck depends a fringe
of greenery whidh, as the boat is white
and her sun shutters green, looks ex-
tremely well. Above the green is
line prettily broken of pink ivy geran-
ium, and at the top line of white mar
guerites and pink hydrangeas, The
boats awning is pale green. w. A.
Carlisle has Lazyland, a light oak boat,
which is effectively treated, chiefly with
blue lobelia, scarlet geraniums and
white marguerites She looks very
smart, and will be Aighted with small
colored lamps formed into stars. For
get-Me- Not, j. Taylnr's boat, will come
in for a fair share Of general admira-
ton. She is most skillfully treated |
with white and green and pink and |
white. Mr.. Hill has the Kelpie, another
white boat, gay with white marguerites, |
yellow dropping nasturtiums and up |
calceolario, with graceful |
fringe of white marguerites River

pretty, and looks gay and festive.
