some of the problems and flowers will
thrive almost anywhere if they re-
ceive sufficient encouragement.
Should the roof terrace be far from
the kitchen, a speaking tube and a
dumb waiter, easily arranged, will
bring the kitchen into close connec-
ton with tiny serving pantry, which
might be built at one corner OF the
dining terrace and screened with a
tTellis or with vines.
Country Dining Piazzas.
But opportunities for planning the
most beautiful and successful al fresco
breakfast and dining rooms exist in
the country. Scarcely anywhere is
there an out-of-town home being
built without some provision for the
serving OF meals out-of-doors. The
most logical of such dining places
would. of course, be a veranda,
screened with wire netting. or a per
COLA with a door opening from the
dining room or serving pantry.
With such advantages at ones CON-
mand and with sufficient space to
plan with, the problem may be worked
out without any Of the difficulties

which attend its solution within the
more restricted limits of the city
home. In the country, too, there is
the interest of the background to add
to the attractiveness of the dining
terrace. Shrubbery, vines and hedges,
while always beautiful and helpful,
may here be employed to lend grace
and to confer distinction rather than
to screen disagreeable outlooks or to
mask walls or wooden fences.
The remodelling OF an old house
frequently offers opportunities for the
arrangement of most attractive
open-air dining place. One old home,
an abandoned farmhouse which has
been redeemed and made beautiful,
has been provided with very large
veranda extending over the cistern,
which still supplies water for the fam
lily. The old-fashioned wooden pump
occupies one corner Of the veranda,
and about il are set earthenware jars
which hold Towering plants and lend
an air OF quaintness to the pumps

be preferred.
Table linen might be thu woven OF

tricts in Austria or Bavaria or else
somewhat coarse linen upon which
may be worked conventionalized de.
signs in cross stitch.
But an al fresco dining room is use
full for other purposes than for the
serving of meals. No place is quite
so attractive for tea upon a summer
afternoon. In town there is always
the possibility of having the space
inclosed with glass, fitted with a radi-
ator concealed in some clever way
and used during a great part of the
year as a winter garden"

room. Here there is no necessity for
the use of hedges or shrubbery, and
even vine-covered pergola would be
superhuous, for close about the We
randa extends the forest Of pine or fir
trees to lend its greenery and its aro-
matte fragrance to the rustic setting.
A great part Of the success Of an al
fresco dining place depends upon its
being carefully and, above all. con-
sistently furnished. To such an out
ot-door room there may be given
quite as much character as to any
room of home in either the city or
the country.
II the house be a rustic lodge in
some mountain locality or upon some
lake amid the wilds, the dining terrace
must conform with the character of
the rest OF the building and be fur
nished with the very simplest of fit
tings. Nothing could be more beau
titul and appropriate as furnishings
amid such surroundings than rustic
furniture OF the odd Hickory" type,
unless it be table and benches of
birch bark bleached to silver white
ness.
When surroundings are somewhat

more conventional there are the very
simple and graceful Windsor chairs
or the plain but beautiful furniture
made for gardens-benchcs, chairs
and tables which may be painted or
stained white, gray, green or any one
of the many appropriate colors.
Wicker furniture is also useful and
possesses the advantage of looking
equally well in the most conventional
surroundings and in the most rustic
country home.
Floor coverings-should any be de-
sired may be selected from a large
variety. The most serviceable would
De of fabrics which are not affected
by dampness, such as woven grass,
for it is not unusual for the open-air
dining room to receive thorough
drenching.
Rugs strong and serviceable, but
which must, of course, receive some
what more consideration, are those of
the rough but beautiful Japanese jute
end the old-fashioncd rag carpet rugs
such as were woven ami used by our
grandmothers and which are now
again in favor.
Then, too, the dining place must be

bulbs.

the boundaries of the plot to inclose
the dinner garden with wall of liv-

Of gayly striped canvas.
Not far from Gramercy Park there
are several old-fashioned city houses
which from beginnings that were
wholly undressing, if not discour-
aging, there have been evolved sew
eral of the most beautiful and dis
tinctive houses in New York. The
building of new facades and the max
ing over of the houses with basement
entrances involved many interesting
problems.
To one of the houses, the home of
an architect, there has been added
the quaintest and most beautiful of
summer dining places. AS it now cx-
lists, the dining room of this residence
occupies the entire rear of the build
/ ing in what was formerly the base
ment. The room is large and low
and is furnished in the old English
fashion, with ceiling of plaster ela5-
orately modelled.
Prim Background of Flowers.
Easement windows extending to the
floor open upon the small space back
of the house, which has been paved
with brick laid in herring bone" pat
tern and inclosed with wall covered
with ivy. Againt the background
thus formed are borders of old-fash-
toned howers-hollyhocks, phlox,
larkspur and Canterbury bells-while
against one wall there stands an an
tique fountain, a treasure from Ra-
VIENNA, where water from a lions
mouth falls into an old sarcophagus
containing goldfish. Overhead there
are the tinbers or beams of per-
COLA, painted deep cream and heav-
lily laden with clusters of purple wis
TARA bloom.
A dinner upon this little terrace is
an event to be long remembered, for
at night old Japanese lanterns Of stone
or metal fitted with electric lights
adorn the garden and the ripping Of
the fountain browns the noise OF the
city. 1t is difficult to realize that this
spot is not in some Old World town
in Italy rather than in the heart Of
downtown New York not far from
the Third Ave. Elevated.
Roofs Have Possibilities.
Spaces upon the roofs Of city resi-
dences, and particularly upon the
roofs Of extensions, offer the most
tempting of possibilities to the really
ingenious, for with such space at
ones command there is almost no
limit to what may be achieved. The
help Of trellises and of hedges and
vines grown in deep boxes filled with
fertile soil will go far toward solving

doors.
Perhaps it has been because we are
but lust entering upon period IN
which the value of open-air living IS
being properly recognized. With the
country fields and woods spread out
about us and attractive during by tar
the greater part of the year, we have

beginning to respond to the over.ures
of the out of-doors.
Sleeping in the open air is now
common enough. In the country, at

-re also taken in the open air we
may be said to have reached very
nearly the point where life is lived
entirely out of doors.
Popular or SONtlHcH''
AL fresco dining has long been pop
ular in the countries of Europe. Every
visitor TO Paris, Madrid or Vienna
will recall the little open-air restau-
rants and cafes which line the avenues
and streets. Any city or town IN Italy
has its little terraces or its tiny cafes
about a square or a promenade, and
no pension in either Italy or France
is too poor in resources to offer Its
guests some kind of an open-air din
ing place.

Why Church Bells Sound Louder on

Then why does the intensity of the
peal vary? II has been found that
there are what Is known ais acoustic

seen, but they may be detected artiG.
cially. They have the property of re-
f1ecting sound just as brick wall has.
So II a thick one of these so called
"clouds" intervenes between the church
bell and the observer most of the sound

SHOOTING A DEER.
The Tropical Poisdned Arrow Sent
Him to Sleep and Death

The Tropical Poisdned Arrow Sent
Him to Sleep and Death.
Hunting with poison, as practiced by
tie natives of Brazil and other tropi-
cal American countries, is thus de-
scribed in a communication to the Ma
tOnal Geographic society, at Washing
ton. by Dewey Austin Cobb:
''In hunting. the arrows. which are
dipped in poison. consist of a point of
wood or bone, not more than an inch
long and the size of a toothpick. TO
which Is attached a little tuft OF hairy
fiber Of the silk cotton tree. The gun
Is straight bamboo tube from FIVE
to six feet long. with a sight at one
end and funnel shaped expansion to
fit the mouth at the other. The prin.
riple Is precisely the same as the
schoolboy's tnbe for blowing putty
balls, and the accuracy of the natives
| Is wonderful"
Mr.. Cobb gives the following descrip-
ton of the shooting of deer:

the corn and stopped. exposing to us
Its full broadside as we lay some
thirty feet away. Our hunter fred

the ivory cutter. He. for his part, is
able and willing to profit by the fact
that the rats have made clear.
The ivory that contains a large
amount of gelatin is softer and more
elastic than that which does not, and
as elasticity Is the thing most needed
