One of these chairs—one of the very latest—has a back of such height that it serves screen. Turn your chair around and you are shut away from the world. n piazzas. hat are very The screen ch: if one is a delightful thing s afflicted with visitors at an in- tune moment. Turn your char around .and you are not at home. The piazza is vacant and only the chair back stares at the visitor, the back which is e a screen. There is another virtue about this screen chair, It is built for two; and when two sit in it, and turn around, they are immediately alone. This is the time when the world forgetting and tHe world forgot is particularly applicable. If you want to make a screen chair, be oppe built the seat at least a yard wide—wide enougha for you and another. And have the seats rather deep. You must have wide arms. And the chair must present a substan- tlal look as of one that feels its burden. There is a glorified footstool that comes this season and it s one of those con- trivances that can be made at home. The material if you are its maker, should be hard wood and the pattern is openwork. There is no top to this stool, only up- rights, joined by cross pleces, so that one’'s feet may rest on top with ease, or in the sides, or in any manner that may be agreeable, when one is tired with golf. It is impossible to scratch this open- work footstool, for it has no top and, a3 for wearing out, warping, becoming loppy, or getting out of shape, this also is fm- possible. It makes a'nice little stand for books which can rest comfortably upon its lattice. The roof swing, cr the plazza swing, is something that needs only to be described in order to fascirate. It consists of a wicker or bamboo couch built in such a way that it is alike at each end. A little railing makes the back as well as the head and the foot. This couch is fitted out with grass cloth ions for Seat and back. It is then elevated by ropes until it swings free from the piazza. This makes a swing of it. There come piazza swings that answer this description but the man who yearns to make his own swing can buy a couch and hang it all. Chairs with wide arms, couches with little shelves in them, the dearest and squarest little foot rests, all these are in the new summer furniture in wide variety and in great numbers. There are couches that have a lifting re that the back is six feet tall and# seat in which there are stored croquet balls, mallets, and garden ' implements. And there are other couches so buflt that you lift them entirely and place articles urderrieath the couch, which {8 hollow. The English courting chair has found its way to the roof and into the affections of the summer man and girl. It is made of very heavy timber and its arms are wide and comforting. In all the new plazza furniturs there is one thing to be noticed and that is fts durability, It can be wet; it can be left V@ DIVIVVFTRNY it 1s improved by the dews of dusk; and it does not mildew, warp or show wear and tear with the season. Its pature and build are such that it endures all weather without a sign out over nigh of exterior disapproval. Iron furniture is neither comfortable nor pretty, and except for very hard usage, Iy not to be recommended. It must be remarked that summer niture 1s particularly built for the s mer man. It ia he who enjoys getting out upon the plazza at night and he who loves to linger upon the roof whils the stars come out and shine for him par. ticularly. d There is & frivolous statement to the ef- fect that one can judge a man and his wit by the way.he conducts himself upon a summer plazza. Not all men who sit in well furnished plazzas are entitled to the honor of being called summer men but only those who understand the arts of summef. Would you be a summer man? Then ask yourself these questions. Go over them alone and judge for yourself of your own fitness. Suppose you were alone upon the piazza in the evening with a pretty girl, sitting together in the swing, with stars up abcve. - What would you do? Suppose she were sitting alons in the English courting chair, the chalr bunlt for two; and suppose she sald she felt lonely. Where would you seat yburself? Suppose you wers sitting oppoaite -\7 girl whom you wanted to marry, she in the swing, you in the chalr, holding her hand, what would you say? Suppose the night was shivery and she felt cold? These Qquestions, properly answered, would entitle any man to a certificats of admission in the lists of summer men. Answered not wisely he would be forever barred out. —_———— The handsomest two private ears in the world are those owned by Adolphus Busch and Charles M. Schwab, says the Ph delphia Press.
