FURNISHING VERANDA.
Hammock, Willow Armchairs and Paint
Among the Possibilities.

Hammock, Willow Armchairs and Paint
Among the Possibilities.
Every well appointed country house
has veranda, terrace or gallery that
is practically an outdoor sitting room.
Unfortunately. however, the best ap-
pointments for these are still expensive
at the select shops, being classed as
novelties or specialties. Willow arm
chairs and Gloucester hammOcks have
been greatly reduced in price, but ia
bles, garden seats, settles, ETC., of good
design are still high.
On the other hand, it is possible, with
little skill and great deal Of paint,
to furnish veranda very attractively
with little money.
A charming breakfast porch can be
equipped entirely with kitchen furni-
ture painted and decorated like the
expensive peasant and cottage sets
which are in vogue at present. One
Of the heavy, plain ironing tables that
can be converted into settle is the
best type of table to buy, and the
chairs should be of the plainest. Get

and paint it any color you wish,
though green, on the whole, is most
satisfactory. Make or buy a stencil Of
some simple design; conventionalized
flowers. like the decorations on the
Swedish or Hungarian pottery, are
good. Stencil border of these around
your table and on the backs of your
chairs. Paint it in bright peasant col
ors, and when these are dried go over
the decorations with waterproof var
nish
This is not work that demands any
great skill, but it calls for time, pa
tience and extreme neatness. The ef-
feet is well worth the trouble. for with
the outlay Of few dollars you will
have set Of furniture that you could
not buy for five times that amount.
Dairy benches and stools decorated in
the same way make very attractive
garden furniture.

For Sore, Tired Eyes.

One Of the simple home remedies for
troubled eyes Is hot water. Hot water
applications can be managed by soak
ing two soft cloths in very hot water.
Place one cloth over the eyes as hot as
can be endured while the other Is heat
ing. Apply fresh cloth as soon as
the first cOols.
BOracic acid, quarter Of teaspoon
full added to glass of warm water and
permitted to cool before using, makes
an excellent eye lotion within the reach
of all.

STUFFED CUCUMBERS.

Take large. firm "ucumbers and cut
them in two lengthwise Peel and re-
move the seeds and pulp. Mix bread
crumbs with the pulp and season 1t
with melted butter, salt and pepper.
Place this mixture in the shells, sprin-
kle more breadcrumbs over the top and
set in the oven to brown. A little wa
ter must be put in the pan to steam
the cucunbers while they are brown
ing, otherwise the crumbs will burn
before the cucumber shell is cooked.
This dish goes well with almost any
combination of food.
