A Deck as Game Room

Why have that bridge party
indoors when you can play
outside, with q breeze to
soothe your nerves if your ace
gets trumped?
| This year. many home
owners are converting the
backyard into a usable space.
It is more and more becom-
ing 8 favorite spot for infor-
NAL entertaining, as well as
for private lounging.
Main ingredients needed
for an open air game room
are accessibility and COM
fort. Many house holders get
the combination with q wood
deck built off the family room
or living room, and right at
floor level.
Size Of the deck is deter
mined by individual family
needs. A simple little deck
can be just as lovely and hv-
able as an acre of terrace.
It's easy to design and
build q deck. The only tick
lish part lies in making sure
that the framework Is stout
and sturdy. Supporting posts
can be Of flr four by fours
set on concrete feet to keep
them above the ground.
Beams should be two by tens
or two by twelve fir and well
cross braced. o.
Two-by-four inch flr Is the
favorite for decking. It can
be laid either fat or on edge,
and boards should be spaced
q quarter Of an inch apart to
allow for drainage Of rain
water.
Stain or paint for the
deck boards is a matter of
personal taste. While many
families prefer to let the
decking weather naturally,
others like to paint or stain
1t to match the color Of the
house siding or trim.
II there are small children
in the family, and if the deck
is several feet above ground
level. it's wise to design a
railing that will keep the
'toddlers from tumbling of.
[ This can be done either by
building a simple, open rail-

The story of how the two
have come together is the
tale Of relentless research on
the part Of the present owner
and Just plain luck.
The Handlers found the

san," at a dealers in New
York two years ago when
they bought the 1902 Duty
which also hangs in their
williamsburg lane dwelling.
Eager to identify the little
girl with the bright red hair
and big blue eyes, Mrs. K.
began combing catalogues at
the National Gallery, the
Metropolitan Museum and
numerous others. She even
tually found a deflnitive book
on Bellows at the Weyhe Gal
lery which supplied the last
name of the child, nothing
more. She was Susan Com
fort.
Not long after that, Mrs.
K. was dining with q New
York friend and mentioned
the enchanting painting they
had of little Susan Comfort,
whoever she was" The
friend exclaimed when she
heard the name. She had
attended Connecticut College
with her. Her father. she
said, was president Of Haver-
ford College (PaO at the time.
INQUIRIES AT HAVER-
FORD revealed that Miss
Comfort was still living on
the campus. When she re-
ceived a letter from Mrs.
Kander about the portrait,
she was ecstatic. Bellows had
painted it, she said, the one
summer her family had spent
in Camden, Me-, where the
artist was a next-door neigh
Dor. He had asked to
paint the daughter with the
bright red hair, the blue eyes
and in a green dress she wore
with his own daughters blue
sweater around her shoulders.
The Comforts had not seen
the portrait since 1916 and
no dealer had known where
it was after it was sold from
the Bellows home in 1929,
four years after the artists
death. Miss Comfort came to
Washington a year ago to see
it. :. Married last month to
James Masland, who has a
brother living in Washington,
she will come again next Sat-

trait during the tour.
