~ garden, and charming gar
den at that.
The bed pictured here was set in
tiny back yard Except for the
cement walk girdling it, it was the
whole yard. The dimensions of this
bed were five feet across, and it was
almost perfectly round.
In the center a light and graceful
wreath-bOund pole was placed. The
effect Of these garlands of delicate
greenery, with showering festoons
falling from them, was attractive.
The smallest wreath was placed
near the top, and was supported by
wires attached to the central pole,
which stood seven and a half feet
high. A few spaces further down was
another wreath, and nearer the ground
still another and larger one.
The delicate tendrils of the vine
covered the wires which connected
the wreaths with the pole, and also
completely disguised the fact that the
wreaths were built upon prosaic barrel
hoops.
The center of the flower bed was
slightly raised and graduated, mig
nOnette and white stock were planted
in alternate rows. The whole was
bordered by the vivid blue flower and
dainty foliage of the lobelia plant.
A high wire fence at the rear of the
garden was painted green and the
supporting columns white. Tall hol-
lyhOcks, with white blossoms, grew
closely by the fence. The verdant
freshness of this tiny garden made the
summer sweet.
The living room shown in the pic
ture is an attractive one, in point of
size and proportion, as we'll as in the
cOloring of walls, drapery and furni-
ture. 1t is longer than it is wide, be-
ing I8x22 feet.
The soft, purplish red of the rug
and cold green of the side walls are
acceptably lightened by the faint cafe
au lait of the ceiling, which is re-
peated in the unglazed tiles about the
fireplace. The hardware is of wrought
iron, and the furniture and woodwork
of dull surface mahogany.
The windows are a pleasing archi-
tectural feature, and the curtaining,
while extremely simple, is of a fine
quality of Arabian net with inset mo-
tits of the lace
