AT CHRISTMAS TIME 



and Other Hidings 



A mirror in the sun-room has 

 distinct advantages and what 

 could more happily suggest 

 garden gaiety than such a bas- 

 ketful of posies rendered in 

 pastel tones that fits into al- 

 most any color scheme 



Bronze book-ends, in- 

 dubitably fashioned for 

 the gardener of either 

 sex — the woman with 

 the spade, the man with 

 his scythe, both taking 

 a few moments off, it 

 appears 



A variety of vases is 

 part of the essential 

 household equipment 

 of the flower grower, 

 and Danish faience 

 comes in many shapes 

 patterned with bril- 

 liant, lovely color 



Even the smallest garden 

 has a fruit tree or two 

 and the right comport 

 filled with peaches, 

 grapes, or rosy apples is 

 doubly alluring. Italian 

 pottery is good in style 

 and excellently subdued 

 in tone 



A staunch little sentinel 

 for veranda or solarium 

 where, alack, hours must 

 needs be counted! 

 Though only a wooden 

 cock, he looks a lively 

 one sure to be "on the 

 job"; the Horns of 

 Plenty upon which the 

 circle rests have happy 

 suggestion for the gar- 

 dener, too
