  7 
  — 
  A 
  Long 
  Bench, 
  Plentifully 
  Supplied 
  with 
  Cushions, 
  Greatly 
  Increases 
  the 
  Seating 
  

  

  Capacity 
  of 
  the 
  Veranda 
  

  

  glass 
  and 
  shut 
  in 
  with 
  screens 
  and 
  through 
  

   the 
  glass 
  doors 
  we 
  see 
  the 
  outer 
  veranda, 
  

   also 
  equipped 
  with 
  chairs. 
  This 
  arrange- 
  

   ment 
  is 
  somewhat 
  novel. 
  

  

  The 
  veranda 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  important 
  

   features 
  to 
  be 
  considered 
  in 
  the 
  planning 
  of 
  

   a 
  summer 
  home. 
  The 
  placing 
  of 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  

   important, 
  for 
  the 
  reason 
  that 
  it 
  should 
  be 
  

   placed 
  in 
  such 
  a 
  manner 
  as 
  to 
  insure 
  privacy 
  

   and 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  permit 
  the 
  securing 
  of 
  

   the 
  most 
  interesting 
  views, 
  whether 
  it 
  be 
  

   mountain 
  landscape 
  or 
  marine. 
  Another 
  

   important 
  factor 
  is 
  for 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  placed 
  on 
  the 
  

   side 
  of 
  the 
  house 
  which 
  receives 
  the 
  prevail- 
  

   ing 
  winds. 
  The 
  summer 
  veranda 
  is 
  after 
  all 
  

   the 
  main 
  living 
  quarters 
  of 
  the 
  summer 
  

   home. 
  

  

  It 
  should 
  be 
  furnished 
  with 
  light 
  airy 
  

   furnishings, 
  wicker 
  furniture 
  being 
  prefer- 
  

   able, 
  and 
  if 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  chairs 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  

   upholstered 
  they 
  should 
  have 
  adjustable 
  

   cushions 
  which 
  can 
  be 
  taken 
  in 
  at 
  night, 
  

   where 
  a 
  piazza 
  is 
  open 
  to 
  the 
  elements, 
  and 
  

   can 
  be 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  sunshine 
  after 
  a 
  damp, 
  

   foggy 
  season. 
  

  

  as 
  he 
  can, 
  before 
  his 
  wild 
  

   dash 
  for 
  the 
  train, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  

   the 
  country 
  gentleman 
  of 
  

   leisure, 
  who 
  goes 
  to 
  town 
  

   when 
  it 
  pleases 
  him. 
  

  

  High 
  tea 
  on 
  the 
  veranda 
  

   is 
  nearly 
  as 
  delightful 
  as 
  

   breakfast, 
  and 
  is 
  often 
  served 
  

   in 
  simple 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  fashion- 
  

   able 
  homes. 
  Of 
  course, 
  the 
  

   veranda 
  for 
  meals 
  has 
  to 
  be 
  

   situated 
  near 
  the 
  dining- 
  

   room 
  and 
  butler's 
  pantry 
  for 
  

   convenience 
  of 
  service. 
  A 
  

   door 
  usually 
  communicates 
  

   with 
  the 
  dining-room. 
  A 
  

   spacious 
  veranda 
  of 
  this 
  type 
  

   appears 
  as 
  No. 
  8, 
  with 
  table 
  

   and 
  chairs. 
  

  

  No. 
  3 
  is 
  also 
  adjacent 
  to 
  

   the 
  dining-room. 
  A 
  Mexican 
  

   rug 
  lies 
  on 
  the 
  floor, 
  and 
  

   there 
  is 
  a 
  tea-cart 
  for 
  service. 
  

   This 
  veranda 
  could 
  easily 
  be 
  

   inclosed 
  in 
  glass 
  in 
  the 
  win- 
  

   ter 
  and 
  used 
  as 
  a 
  conserva- 
  

   tory. 
  

  

  A 
  double 
  veranda 
  is 
  shown 
  

   in 
  No. 
  4. 
  This 
  is 
  inclosed 
  in 
  

  

  8 
  — 
  Ornamental 
  Supports 
  and 
  Enclosures 
  Add 
  Much 
  to 
  the 
  Beauty 
  of 
  the 
  Veranda
