ARBORS, ETC. 



ground. This makes it as ornamental as if it 

 were a flowering plant. 



Every home ought to have its " playhouse " 

 for children. If fitted with screens to keep out 

 mosquitoes, the younger members of the family, 

 especially the girls, will literally " live in it " for 

 six months of the year. I would suggest fitting 

 it with canvas curtains to shut out wind and rain. 

 I would also advise making it of good size, for the 

 children will take delight in entertaining visitors 

 in it, and a tiny structure is not convenient for 

 the entertainment of " company." Such a build- 

 ing can be made as ornamental as any arbor or 

 pergola at slight cost, when vines are used to hide 

 the shortcomings of its material and construction. 

 Be sure it will be appreciated by the little folks, 

 and quite likely some of the " children of a larger 

 growth" will dispute its occupancy with them, 

 at times, if there is no other building of its kind 

 about the place.
