there Is the privilege of sitting behind
drawn screens in negligee attire, and
In the afternoon there is an opportu-
nifty to entertain friends with a cup of
tea or an ice. The piazza is really only
another room, and If it extends around
the house there is always a place
screened from the rays Of the sun.
The cheap cotton japanese rugs, even
those that have done first service with

have been shortened and over the top
OF which denim table cover has been
thrown, is convenient for books and
magazines. The japanese screens or
shades that hang at the front and sides
OF piazzas are inexpensive, easily low
cred and raised and by many preferred
to the striped awning
A hammock, which Is the usual fea-
ture Of piazza comfort, is often more
pleasing to look at than to lie in and
Tor that reason Is not 80 popular as it
once was. If there Is q secluded cor
ner In which to suspend 1t, all we'll and
good, but 1t no longer monopolizes
space that can be more satisfactorily
filled. The large willow steamer chair,
which Is really a couch, is far more
comfortable. 1t may be filed with
pillows at the reclining back or not.
1t Is comfortable summer chair and
far ahead Of a hammock
For the hammock the pillows should |
be linen covered or Bingham covered,

week or two, for they are bound to
catch the dust
A very attractive piece consists Of
cross between steamer chair and
hammock. The canvas is swung in an
enormous wooden framework, and
when the hammock chair is filled with |
pillows 1t is to be recommended for a
siesta in a shady, secluded corner Of
the piazza.
The woman who knows how best to |
enjoy the summer at home has dessert
served out on the piazza after dinner
The little tables are spread with tray
cloths, and the coffee and fruit and an
Ice are waiting there when the family
adjourns from the dinner table. Then,
also, the gentlemen can enjoy their
after dinner cigars. Such little touches |
as these do SO much to lend spice to |
and to dispel monotony from home
living

Stewed lettuce Is rather an original
notion which some one may want to
try. Trim off the outside leaves and
blanch the lettuce thoroughly in sailed
boiling water; then drain and rinse
well In cold water, dry carefully in
clean cloth and mince it, Now place
the lettuce in d pan with a few spoon
fuls Of new milk and let it cook very
gently, adding as it dries about a gill
Of cream or new milk lightly thickened
with arrowroot and let it all cook very
slowly till perfectly tender; then add
small pat Of butter, dust of white
pepper, grain of sugar and a spoonful
or so of thick cream and serve very
hot will a garnish Of fried croutons.

RAIN ON THE ROOF.
BY Coates Kinney.

BY coates Kinney.
SHEN the humid shadows hover
= Over all the starry spheres,
:, And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears,
What a bliss to press the pillow
OF cottage chamber bed,
And to listen to the patter
OF the soft rain overhead
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart;
And a thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being start,
And thousand recollections
Weave their air-threads into wool,
AS listen to the patter
OF the rain upon the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother,
AS she used long years agone,
To regard the darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn
Oh, | see her bending DER me,
As list to this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister,
With her wings and waving hair
And her star-eyed cherub brother -
A serene, angelic pair =
Glide around my wakeful pillow
With their. praise or mild reproof,
AS listen to the murmur
OF the soft rain on the roof.
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue );
And | mind not musing on her
That her heart was all untrue;
| remember but to love her (
With passion kin to pain,
And my hearts quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.
Art hath naught of tone or cadence
That can work with such a spell
In the souls mysterious fountains,
Whence the tears of rapture well,
AS that melody of nature,
That subdued, subduing strain,
Which..is played upon the shingles
By the.patter.o the rain.

GIVE ME BACK MY YOUTH AGAIN.

From The German Of Goethe.
e,
IOH give me back the time of pleasures,
= While yet iii joyous growth l sang
: When, like fount, the crowding measures
Uninterrupted gushed and sprang
Then bright mist yelled the world before me,
In opening buds marvel woke,
As | the thousand blossoms broke
Which every valley richly bore me-
nothing had, and yet enough for youth
Joy in Illusion, ardent thirst for Truth.
Give unrestrained the old emotion
The bliss that touched the verge of pain.
The strength of Hate Loves deep Devotion
O, give me back my youth again
