Furnishing the Veranda

pecially good for the reader. It Is
usually equipped with a foot-rest.
which can be tucked away. Rocking
chairs are always favorites, but there
should be few straight chairs al
well. The wicker settle must never
be forgotten, where there Is a We
randa large enough to accommodate
1t.
IT has been found that a prettier ar
rangement Of the furniture can be
made with variety Of styles and
shapes. Straight chairs are useful
because they can be pushed close up
against the wall when they are not in
use. The swinging seat. a valuable
porch addition. Is swung from the
ceiling of the porch by chains. It Is
always found on the best equipped
porches. The porch need not be beau
tiful for the sake of display. but II can
give a great deal Of pleasure to those
who spend their time on II.
