A piazza can be arranged as de-
1ightfully as a room and yet lack the
formality of indoor decoration. Just
how this can be accomplished depends
on the size and shape of the piazza,
for what purpose it is intended to be
used and also what you have to work
with. There is nothing to be desired
in having the place assume an air of
actual decoration, unless it is a room
porch, emphasizing the character
istics Of the room rather than the
piazza. Then the elements of the
house furnishing and decoration are
introduced The regulation piazza
stresses comfortable informality, how
ever, more than indoor quarters. On
such a porch there should be such
articles as will add to comfort in the
open. that will not be irreparably
damaged by rain and sun. if they are
hurt at all by them. and which will
tempt persons to enjoy the luxury of
the out-of-doors.
Narrow Piazza.
It is not with the actual furnishings
that we will deal today, for furniture,
etc, has been already selected. prob
ably. but it is with the arrangement
Of pieces to give effect of space and to
emphasize comfort. For instance. if a
porch is long and narrow. the furni-
ture will, of necessity, have to be
arranged more or less in a row. Yet
the pieces can be so placed that they
beckon you to sit or perhaps lie on a
couch hammock or wicker lounge.
Inviting Arrangement.
d. Two chairs can be turned just a
little toward one another and have a
table between them on which to put
q work basket or a book Such an
arrangement suggests the pleasure of
companionship in the placing of the
chairs and of comfort if one wishes
to work or read.
The lounge of wicker or cane is
made more tempting if it has pillows

on it, perhaps covered with water
proof fabric, though cushions are
generally taken in the house when
the weather is stormy. Instead Of a
lounge, @ steamer chair may do duty
as a place on which to recline. These
chairs are admirable, since they can
be extended only when needed. and
50 leave more room on narrow
veranda. Do not omit having a low
taboret Of some sort by this chair
Patchwork cushions, of which I
wrote some time ago, are delightful
for piazzas of old-fashiOned houses.
These should be in evidence on the
narrow piazza, especially as they can
be put on the rail, either to sit on
or 70 lean against if by a pillar.
Grass or mating runners are good
for the narrow piazza floor.
Wide Veranda.
A wide piazza can have the furni-
ture not so closely placed against the
house. Indeed, a piazza of this sort,
though it does not stress room fur
nishing, often has wicker or painted
wooden table in the center or near it.
A low occasional table is needed, that
can be placed wherever wanted. The
chairs should be grouped so that they
face the open as much as possible, for
no one wants to stare at the blank
walls of a house while enjoying a
veranda.
What to Do With House Wall.
Speaking of the walls reminds us
that there are flower holders and
plant brackets that can rob the wall
of monotony. A wall-hanging can be
made of a Japanese porch screen,
generally used to shield the veranda
along the edge like an awning. Some
of these screen awnings have attrac-
tive decorations already painted on
their closely bound Stats. Sometimes
the home decorator paints one her
self. accenting colors that will bring
beauty to the veranda decoration.

in one hand and discard in the other
is justified, because Declarer's discard
is not apt to result in any advantage,
since it must be in one Of the partner
ship suits, and also because of West s
secondary strength in trumps. South
trumps the fourth Heart lead in his
own hand instead of in Dummy in
order to preserve the three trumps
in Dummy, as his obvious play is to
attempt to establish the Diamond suit
instead Of the Club. If the adverse
Diamonds are split 3-3, game is vir-
tually assured by keeping the three
trumps in Dummy.
Trick 5. Since Declarer's scheme
of play is not entirely dependent upon
catching one of the adverse trump
honors on the first lead of trumps, he
cannot risk the loss of game by play
ing low in Dummy, especially where
gain could not well be foreseen.

Because they must be sparingly and
furnished, Spanish houses
must always borrow most of their
charm from their architectural ge-
tails Windows are covered with lace
like grilles Of wrought iron. Lighting
fixtures are masterpieces of the metal
workers art. Heavy oak beams,
floors of wide oaken boards, doors
with beautiful hardware-all these go
to make up the local color of the
Spanish house.
