GARDEN FURNITURE
Plain Wooden Sets Preferred to
the Once Popular Rustic Ones.
WHITE BENCHES AND TABLES.
These Show Up Well Against Green
Hedges and Shrubbery and Are So
Comfortable as to Be Great Promot-
ers of Outdoor. Lounging.

A pleasing change from the rustic
furnishings (Which are painfully over
done in many gardens) is found in the
plain wooden benches, settees, circu-
lar seats and various types of wooden
resting places after old English de
signs in garden seats.
The wooden frame pieces are appro-
pirate where rustic pieces are entirely
out of place. 1t is true that the latter
are attractive and harmonious in gar
den groves among trees and shrubbery
and occasionally when built around the
big tree trunks. but the English gar
den seats of wood painted white and
placed among screening box or privet
will prove far more desirable for most
garden spaces.
The delightful privacy Of a screened
seat that is so thoroughly appreciated
in England is but little known in this
country. With the cheap and rapid

ABIDING PLACE OF MICROBES

There are microbes that are
menacing the church with dire de

plague entitled Vacant Seats. There's
an influence arising from these weary,
dreary pews, that's as pestilential as
the breath of rank, malarial dews. If

valentine CAYETY
Guests Make Cupid Cards.
Prizes For Best Effort.
HOW THE AWARDING is DONE.
Materials For the Contests Are Not
Expensive and May Easily Be Gath
cred Even In Out of the Way Places.
Place Cards For Supper Guests.

An interesting feature of valentine
entertainment is the making Of valeu-
tines by the guests, prizes being award
ed for the most successful, the wittiest,
the most artistic, original and others as
the ingenuity Of the hostess suggests.
These prizes should be kept simple
as it is more exciting to have a number
of them to work for, especially if the
guests are young.
The hostess supplies the materials
for the contest and arranges the form
and rules She does not decide on the
winner. A committee can be elected by
popular vote, or each entry in the con-
test is numbered a corresponding num-
Der, which, with the name attached, is
placed in a sealed envelope.
The valentines and envelopes-the
art efforts-are collected at the same
time. the valentines being pinned to a
sheet or curtain in another room. The
guests, when all the work for a GER
tain contest is finished, examine the
display and cast votes for their choice
by number. The number winning
most votes is given the prize, and the

growing privet used for close screen
ing, we may achieve many interesting
and picturesque retreats. Circular
seats with high backs surrounded with
a privet hedge trimmed even with the
top of the seat is favorite design.
Within the center of the large circle
a garden table, fashioned after the
same pattern as the frame seat, offers
a permanent place for serving after
noon tea in the open air.
Semicircular seats, rather closely out
lined with the high pivot or box, is an
other pleasing design that is gaining
well deserved popularity in this coun-
try. A novel English design is carried
out by placing a number of the high
backed Semicircular seats in a seclud-
ed garden retreat and having them so
outlined and surrounded by the privet
that each seat will be screened from
the other as well as screened from the
walk or the public highway.
A lavish use Of the screening privet
may be INDUCED in, as the small BUSH
es may be secured in large quantities
at little cost.
For the plain white seat Of attrac-
tive English design, intended for pIac-
ing in an open space or beneath large
tree, select spot where it will have
green background Of shrubbery,
trees or vine draped trellis. Thor
ough semiannual painting with good
white lead paint mixed with linseed
oil will preserve the wood indefinitely,
and white is always desirable against
the background of green.
illustrated here is a covered garden
settee and one of the semicircular style.
They are both finished in white enam-
ell. The covered seat is protected from
sun and rain and may, therefore, be
made more comfortable with bright
colored cushions. These, If finished
In heavy crash, linen or denim, will
stand good deal of rough usage.
The circular seat may be used in the
garden or upon the veranda. If vines
are trained to run over the covered
settee it will be very attractive.
