his standpoint was not impudent. His

Making the Most Of Summer.

GUNNER ought to hold an abundance
of long bright days spent in the
open. if the expression indicates no
more than the piazza. Any amount OF
homework may be done outside. Much
of the preparation Of food can be done
on the back porch. With small oil
heater the hottest of summer work, IRON
ing, can be done under the shade Of a
convenient tree rather than in a hot
kitchen. AS for sewing, it is the occupa-
ton of all others for out-of-doors. and the
fortunate owner of an upstairs piazza can
take the sewing machine out there every
morning.
Economy Of motion may well be ap-
piled to the endless going to and fro in
the doing Of household work. If you can
reduce the number of motions required
for any process, it can be performed in
just so much less time. For instance.
boil the water and make the coffee on
the table, and you have saved just SO
many steps. reducing the time by a
perceptible number of minutes, and SO
on with other processes.
Have a small kitchen with everything
in easy reach, q wheeled table by means
of which all the dishes from q meal can
be carried from the dining room into the
kitchen at one time. A little thought will
enable you to apply this principle to all
the work of the day.
There are two advantages to the out
of-door meal in summer-itS pleasure and
it's enforced simplicity. The best of all ia
bles for piazza meal is one of the settle
tables with a circular top, or two swing
ing ironing tables can be set side by side.
The settle table has one great advantage
in that the box under the seat Is capa-
cious enough to hold the necessary table
linen and silver. but it must be supplied
with lock. The table for piazza meal
should be bare, of course. A runner of
heavy crash or ecru linen down the CEN
ter of the table and hanging a few
inches over the ends is quite sufficient.
1t is easy to make set of braided raffia
mats, using the fiber in the natural color
with a bright red, blue and orange bor-
der, making round ones for plates and
oval ones for platters and vegetable
dishes.
While a large table for a piazza tea
is seldom practicable, it adds greatly to
the comfort of the guests If small tables
