PICTURESQUE FLY SCREENS

The most beautiful OF all fly screens Though one
I'm which many housekecpers will have little fa!th)
Is a fine lattice Overgrown with vines. The con-
tinual motion of the leaves with every breeze effect
ually keeps insects and free current OF
fresh air. Some Oriental nations lattice work

thick and fly mosquito the entrance
to a dark passage-a thing neither insect is apt 10
attempt. A thick growth Of hop vine or some
luxurious climber will often prove most effective
fly screen without the use of lattice. The motion
and thick growth OF the leaves keep the flies away.

Tears fall fast for the dead,

Cleaning Slver shot with gold.

Half concealing her shy bushes
In the glow OF west'ring sun.
Swiftly now you her run,
Summers ardent quest 70 shun.

Golden summer gayly trips,
