FURNISHINGS FOR PORCH

Life has moved out on the veranda
these June days. dragging its chairs
and settees, and tea wagons along
with il. Detachable spots life makes
for itself in those great porch spaces
flung wide to the breezes! Rugs lie
about tables stand around, chairs
hold out inviting arms swinging
lounges heckon lazily.
Furnishing the veranda has really
become an important detail in the
household scheme. Styles that COM
bine the durable, the cool. and the
pleasing to the eye have been devised
in chairs desks. tables and every
other article of furniture needed for
porch living. Wicker and willow,
swamp cedar, prairie grass, and what
is called Chinese linen are the ma
terials used. Chinese linen. in parti-
cular is a good choice for the porch.
One man who went into the interior
of China once upon a time was so
much impressed by the big Chinese
chairs of this material that, never
having seen their equal i'm this coun-
try, he bought two and had them car
ried on the backs of coolies to his port
of embarkation on his return trip.
That was nearly a decade ago and his
China chairs are no longer a novel
ty, though they are still as good as
new Workbaskets, as well as chais-
Is tongues, can be made of this Chi
nese linen, and it is used in combna-
ton with rattan for various other ar
tieles
Prairie grass is a close second to ii
Whatever is made of prairie grass,
whether it be desk or chair, or letter
basket has the cool summary look that
everything ON the porch should have.
Willow, enamelled in green, or
white. or brown, is most attractively
| made up Wicker. too is to be had in
almost any article Of furniture desired.
Both materials may be combined with
leather or cretonne for table tops, etc.
From the porch. life passes on into
the garden, demanding comfortable
furnishings out there. too. Rustic
benches and tables and chairs are TO
be found under the trees wherever
there is "a view" Swamp cedar comes
into its own out here. 1t works W
into artistic designs and has the look
of stanch rusticity desirable for the
out-of-doers. Hickory is good. too. In
some rural communities the art of
making chairs from hickory withes
has not been entirely forgotten, and il
| is possible to get arm chairs, rockers
| and straight backs" at very reasona-
BILE figures from some old chairmaker
III some tumble-down cottage under
| the hill.
In both porch and garden furnishing
heltery- skelteriness, that bane of Am
erican home-madng. should be avoid
| ed. Select some central plan, some
| dominant keynote, and stick to tn.
