Croquet and Bowling.
A standard croquet court takes
a level lawn and lawn mower to
start with, and is just as much fun
now as it was in the gay nineties.
There Is also new one called
skoup, similar to croquet. The mall

scoupS the ball through circles on

post there is goal basket and the
ball is of rubber. The setup for
this costs about 81 for four players.
Also on the green is bowling-the
real thing as Rip Van Wrinkle used
to do it-with bowls shaped like
Edam cheese so that they roll in
circles. This is very popular and
is usually the reason for neighbor-
hood tournaments which are played
for blood"
Pitching horseshoes is wonderful
fun-and more so if you use the large
horseshoes and official distances as
set up in the rules book. In the good
old days the ladies used to gather
to admire the precision of the "one

now there are ladies teams as well,
and the girls" become more pro-
flcient every day.

Families Transform
) Back Yards Into
Community Park
Have Flower and
Vegetable Gardens
And Comes Spuce

In this series of articles in which
Margaret NOVEL; has stressed the
need for neighborhood cooperation
to transform unsightly back yards
into real garden spots the sugges-
tions have been largely theoretical
IN their nature. In today's sketch
Miss NOVEL; presents not a develop
ment to be desired, but an actual
accomplishment, the united effort
of three good neighbors to make
the area to the rear of their homes
livable and attractive.
The three homes occupy an area
consisting of one corner lot, q lot
next to the corner and lot on a
side street running along the rear
of the other two. One family is
composed of an elderly couple, one
is childless city official and his
wife and the third is composed
of couple with three children
ranging from to is years of age.
The accompanying sketch dis
closes how these three families have
worked out their situation to the
mutual satisfaction of all three fam
lilies. To begin, there are no bound
ary marks between the three lots.
no hedges or other barriers. The
area to the rear of three homes
thus becomes a community park
with each family having free access
to the entire section. There is made
possible thereby the delightful prac-
tice of visiting from kitchen door
to kitchen door, perhaps the su-
preme test of friendship and good
neighborliness.
Under the setup worked out by
these families, AS back yard is
somewhat utilitarian in that Mr.. A
of the elderly couple has developed
salad garden CD which keeps the
three families supplied with rad
ishes, onions, lettuce. and so on.
Mr., B goes in for flowers, lawn and
garden seats. He has turned toward
perennials and his two perennial
beds 80 are visible from all three
porches (P). To make little nook
in his yard he has planted several
Towering shubs (5) in front of
which are placed garden seats. To
this garden lead stepping stones
from all three porches. Both A and
B have trees designated by the
number 6.
Mr.. c, the man with the three
children, has been forced to give
consideration to the needs of his
children for play and his yard is
largely devoted to play space. On
the drive which leads along the
side of his house to his garage CD
he has painted a badminton "a
and another play court. On his
smooth carpet of grass CD he has
set up a croquet court, while at
the rear OF his lot alongside the
garage he has built a fireplace for
outdoor picnics and suppers. For
further play Couple A have set up
a sandbox 90 which proves allur-
ing to their grandchildren when
they are visiting.
Here, then, is an example of COM
munity living. of the molding of
three back yards of no particular
interest into a private park. of the
free communication of families back
and forth in cordiality and mutual
cooperation. Each of the three
families realizes that the grounds
surrounding the homes are not en-
tirely the private possession of each
without restriction or restraint.
Each realizes that there is a certain
interest in each others property

BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

In the last few years all of us
have become game concious--and If
you were too self conscious to act
out charade or didn't have at
least one match trick up your sleeve
you soon found yourself on the out
side looking in. The house that
doesn't have space in the basement
Or attic for the ping-pong table
these days is as outmoded as the
one with a tin tub, and father and
mother consider themselves in the
"old folks" class when they are not
up on the new parchesi rules.
Your own garden can double for
the country club, and your children
will attract all the incest young
sters in the neighborhood if you
provide play courts for the old as
well as the new games, and espe-
cially if you 60 "just little crazy"
on the subject of horseshoes or
croquet.
Make Shuttle Board.
If you have cement driveway to
your garage, which has always an
noyed you because it took up so
much of the space you wanted for
lawn. you may utilize it cleverly by
painting on it shuttle board court.
This is just as much fun in your
own backyard as on shipboard and
specific directions for laying out
the court may be secured from a
book of rules sold at any of the
stores that specialize in games and
equipment. This is nice con-
versational game that is not too
strenuous for warm weather. Equip
ment for four, including four cues
and eight discs costs about $470.
On the asphalt drive you may
use badminton net and court, or
set up the archery target against
the garage doors. A good badmin-
ton outfit costs about $3.50 and the
archery darts about $40 There
is new one that makes all the men
popular-a knife-throwing game.
It's not as bad as it seems for the

for delightful home involves not
only the perfection of the individual
house and grounds, but a pleasant
outlook when the eyes turn toward

delights in looking toward beauty
next door so is that family obligated
to present pleasant vista for the
neighbor who returns the glance.

in your own back yard, you may
lazily get into shorts or slacEs on
Sunday morning and after having
breakfast and reading the paper
spend an hour or two at your favor
ite game-whether strenuous or
leisurely. Then with your own
shower at hand and cool clothing
you avoid all the annoyances Of
change of clothes at the club or play
ground and the effort to appear pre-
sentable and play hard at the same
time.
Games for Visitors.
With a hard court game, and a
lawn game and a table under the
garden tree for parchesi, or circle
CANNON, which is so much easier
to learn than backgammon, the
tastes of the family and friends may
be accommodated. If you have
friends from out-o of town who like
to come to visit you in Washington,
