The Porch as an Outdoor Room

is interesting; so is the "Old Hickory"
which in some ways has never been sur
passed. Japanese bamboo is effective,
and the India rattan exceptionally good.
Rush furniture must be moved quickly
on rainy days, ard so must the pretty
rush and mating rugs. "OId Hickory"
Is not injured by sudden shower, and
willow holds its own fairly well.
In order to give stability to the fur
ntshings 1t is well to have several
wooden chairs. Nothing could be better
than those old standbys, the windsors.
Another excellent style is the Colonial
high-back chair with rush seat
These old types are now so well repro
dueed that one need not hunt up old
ones for the porch.
They have the merit Of being mex
pensive.
Set tees and settles have their place If
the outdoor room Is q large one.
A long seat of Taffia may be found
finished at either end with a receptacle
9or canes and gold sticks.
This is a picturesque and convenient
addition TO the porch. A high settle
with an adjustable back may be made
to serve several purposes.
The back may be dropped, and table
provided for an informal luncheon
There should be firm table for maga-
zines and books, and whatever else in
the way Of furniture that Is needed for
the comfort Of the people who use the
porch as an outdoor sitting-room-a
smoking table a writing table and DOS
sibly a sewing table.
There should be a controlling idea In
the furnishings; next to simplicity, there
should be striving for harmony, both
in color and design. 1t is not advisable

as they are not suitable for the porch
of the inexpensive country house
The Japanese rugs that may now be
procured in other colors than the blues
and grRys are always satisfactory
They wash easily, and have the outdoor
summer feeling that makes them SO well
adapted for country house use. They
go well with many Of the porch pieces,
particularly those of rattan and bam-
boo. They do not quarrel with "Old
Hickory or the picturesque Adirondack
furniture, but a greater harmony is pre-
sented by using rag rugs with these
rustic pieces. The old-time rag carpet
ing IS not now made in cOlors and fin
ished in lengths of a few yards. At first
these rag rugs were not seryiceable.
They would not lie fiat, and threatened
the downfall OF the unWary. They are
now woven with greater care and are an
important addition to porch furnishings

they can be secured, are effective for
some schemes. They suit well the old
hickory pieces, having the same old
time, homely qualities.

both Japanese and Indian weaves-East
Indian-and are very cool and Summery
looking. Mats of reeds and rushes in
browns and greens are among the most
effective of porch belongings, and If they
are carried indoors at night will last
for u number of seasons.

SPECIAL PLATES

1t is sometimes possible TO secure
plates of pressed paper in blue and
white designs, which are just the
thing for the purpose. Failing these,
Japanese blue and white china can
be secured.
If there is no objection to a little
additional expense, the wee blue and
white cups can be new ones pur-
chased specially for the occasion,
and can afterwards be distributed
among the ladies as souvenirs.
The japanese teapot-these can
sometimes be rented if the FAM
lily cupboard does not boast one-is a
wealth of decoration In itself.
Table or tray, whichever is used,
should have a japanese vase with a
slender spray of blossoms-cherry or
plum are perhaps most characteris-
tic. If natural blooms are not get
able, the Oriental shops can be de-
pended on to furnish budding
spray or two closely resembling those

decorative scheme.

Men callers never enter a drawing
room wearing overcoats, and just now
they rarely carry hats or walking sticks
into the inner regions.
PunctfliouS men sometimes prefer to
carry these addenda Of dress into the
parlor on making a first visit, since to
leave them behind would imply a IA
miliarity with house and hostess which
claim. However, most men think rather
OF comfort and convenience than for

A PASSING CUSTOM

The cali of coincidence is paid within
three weeks after the funeral. How
ever, the formal call of coincidence Is
gradually going out Of fashion. The af-
hicted persons often prefer to see only
closest friends or relatives. Social ac-
quaintances prefer to send notes of
sympathy and to leave cards without
asking to see members of the household
in person.
Only those who have known a woman
long and intimately now call to con-
graduate her when the occasion for this
arises. Congratulatory calls are paid,
by old friends, to a girl when her en-
ragenent is announced, or to young
mother when the birth Of her child is
made known.
The inquiry call is merely a form OF
card leaving. A message, the card Of
the visitor, and sometimes a few flow
ers are left with the servant at the
door. Inquiry calls are polite and
thoughtful where there is Illness, where
financial loss or fire has befallen the
family, or even where disgrace has been
visited upon the innocent.

the ladies give the signal for departure.
When the woman rises, thus signifying
her intention to depart, the gentleman
rises also, apologizing, of course to any
one with whom he is in conversation at
the moment.
He takes his farewell of the hostess
after his companion has done SO, and
leaves the room last.
When the maid at the dining room
door inquiries the name of the caller the
proper answer is Miss Smith, or Mr..
Brown" not Mary Smith, or Brown"
If there Is a danger of confusion the
Christian name may be added also, as

Men and women callers on entering a
drawtng-room proceed in much the same
way, advancing at once to meet the
hostess and acknowledging any intro
ductions she may make

A GOOD RULE

On the other hand, il may have the
cheapest furniture, vases, cushions, etc,
and be anything but simple IN effect 1t
may be inexpensive and still distaste-
fully "fuSsy" as whole.
1t ought not to be necessary to advise
against cluttering-and yet how often
one finds this rule disregarded. Moth
ing that has not good reason for being
there-that cannot be put to an active
use-Should be found on it.
Satin cushions, insecure chairs, tables
with uncertain legs, draperies that
threaten to blow away with every breeze
are inexcuSable.
Unquestionably the most satisfactory
fittings for the porch are those designed
for it's particular purpose. Chairs of
rush, willow, raffia, bamboo, rattan and
rustic hickory are among the regulat ton
suggestions Then there are those firm,
sturdy tables for magazines and books;
specially designed cotton stuffs for cush-
ions, and inexpensive washable rugs.
Rafia, willow. rattan, etc, are most
pleasing when supplemented with few
pieces OF heavier furniture to give them

ter Of preference.
The stranger SO invited can readily
tell whether her former hostess desires
to continue the acquaintance by simply
waiting to see whether or not she re-

After this he does not repeat his visit
unless his hostess extends further invi-
tatfons to him.
A woman who is too i'll to return or
make calls often makes them by proxy.
Sisters or daughters are delegated to
fulfill this duty, and visits so paid count
In every way like those paid by prin-
cipals. Among the little difficulties that
frequently arise in paying calls is the
problem of the accompanying lfiend or
relation
Thus, if the woman who owes a call
has staying with her friend or rela-
ton, is it allowable to have the visitor
accompany her in making call?

" HE war in the East has intro
duced a new fashion in
\ serving afternoon tea. The
pretty five o'clock function
Is now arranged not on the Ameri-
can or the European, but strictly on
the japanese plan.
In some cases the hostess pursues
the idea so far as to adopt Madame
Chrysantheme's costume and re-
ceives her friends seated OH cush-
ion. A suggestion of this pictur-
esque detail is given in the illustra-
ton.
However, it is in no way neces-
sary to the success of the entertain
ment, which can be made altogether
charming by simply arranging the
little table or tray in cherry blossom
style.
Instead of a cloth, to be truly Jap
anese you must use a covering of
crinkly tissue paper-White, pink or
tinted, according to fancy. Well
chosen, this paper furnishes a good
background for anything placed
upon it.

Next Thursday at our Katherine party
The fun begins at half past eight,
The central figure in it--Kate."
During the time that guests were ar

ulation prevailed as to the personality
of Kate, who was to cut such a figure
in the entertainment.
The mystery was solved fifteen min
utes later, when each person in the COM
pany received wee cards having written
upon them the following questions, re-
ceiving at the same time instructions to
answer each question with a word end
