SUMMER FURNISHINGS
Great Variety hof Pieces Found In
Wicker and Rattan.

,r.r- q. =. .=gl . q
The furnituresfor the country house
must be serviceable and it must be
comfortable. Perhaps we should have
omitted the first and said that there is
but one requirement, comfort, and not
have emphasized the point too strongly.
Upholstered furniture should, if, pos
sible, be tabooed and in it's place wicker
or rattan substituted. This is the more
readily done in. view Of the fact that,
as a rule, no period style of furnishings
or decoration is closely adhered to- In
the country home, and a greater degree
of informality exists than is present In
the city house.
In addition to chairs and divans Of
wicker, one can get various other ar
ticles Of furniture. such as chifoniers,
bureaus, washstands, desks, tables and
host Of other things in the same clean,
serviceable wicker and rattan. If this
is treated with a coat Of white enamel,
nothing brighter or. more attractive in
the way Of summer furniture could be
desired.
The bed should, be Of brass, either
with or without shangings. Very serv
| iceable hangings for the hot weather
consist Of silkolines or cretonnes, or any
of the innumerable lightweight drapery
| fabrics. These have the merit of being
inexpensive as well as attractive, anc
/ can be readily obtained. If hangings
are used on the bed, they. should cor
respond in color and design to those 81

Bertha Mirobean, in April Good
Housekeeping, has some useful sugges-
tions for the bungalow and cottage.
She says: @ :, -. .
There is a certain pleasure in build
ing and furnishing summer cottage
unknown in the building and furnishing
of a city house. There is, moreover, a
wide range for ones Individuality to
express itself, for the convention is left
behind in the linen-shrouded. drawn
curtained houses in town, and those who

pleasure settle down to living with a
simple equipment that would not sat
isfy them fifteen minutes in the more
artificial atmosphere Of the city.
For those who are planning to build
bungalow or cottage, here are a few
suggestions. It is not supposed for a
! moment that every woman who has
become interested in home handicraft
can do all these things unaided. Some
can, for the things are not very hard.
themselves can surely do the thinking
part, and by the aid of very ordinary

| We will begin with some suggestions
for the outside Of the house. The first
is for a screen for the porch. Open
porches are well and good, but there is
a coziness and sense Of seclusion about
screened porch that is lacking when
the porch is r open to the ga gaze es,, Of the ne

whatever distance one may fancy, an
other row being nailed crosswise with
the same spacing between. It is only
necessary to nail them at the ends; il

GRIZZLIES AND PEDIMENTs
Valuable Aids in Giving Character {
Commonplace Rooms.

Usually the interior of the average
modern home, whether country cot
tage or city dwelling, is utterly de-
void Of character. This affords an ad-
mirable opportunity for decorative in
genuity, the judicious exercise of which
will convert most conventional and
unassuming apartment into a room OF
pronounced period style.
For instance, grilles and pediments
which have run thru centuries Of early
English, French and Dutch decoration
will give vitality and character to the
woodwork in modern room and bring
into harmony the wall treatment, up
holstery and furnishings. It's sharp lines
and rectangular inelegancies will be
greatly relieved by their adaptation.
By utilizing these artistic features,
the character Of rooms, identical in
shape and treatment, can be greatly
changed, and different and more strik-
ing effects produced than would result
from the mere use Of the. paint pot.
Such innovations are easily executed
and possess marked adaptabiity for
almost any apartment.
No matter in what period style 8
