SUMMER ACCESSORIES 
FOR GARDEN AND PORCH 
A little silver bas- 
ket with a flower 
holder fitted within 
is delightful for 
masses of long 
stemmed Sweet 
Peas or other deli- 
cate and airy flower 
Refreshment stands in wicker come in black or 
ivory with the flower garlands in color, and a cen- 
tre zinc-lined receptacle for ice, around which are 
compartments for food and drink, pitchers and 
glasses. An engraved Rose-and-Trellis design 
on clear crystal is shown, the set including 
a sandwich tray, two muddlers and twelve 
mixers in addition to the glasses and pitchers 
Pink Snapdragon with Spanish 
Iris and Calendulas in a Japanese 
bamboo container are a colorful bit 
Best of all are these wire flower 
holders that come in all sizes and 
surprise you with their efficiency 
in holding flowers erect when 
set in any sort of bowl or vase 
Perhaps nothing unites the garden with 
the house more completely than the 
use of a distinctly garden flower in- 
doors while it is at its height of 
bloom outside, and if it can be used 
complete as the Foxglove plants 
are used here within and without the 
door, the effect is especially delightful 
A mirror top in 
the plateau on 
which this silver 
centrepiece 
stands reflects it 
and the over- 
hanging flowers 
it holds 
Bird and butterfly ornaments to perch on the side of a low 
Japanese bowl are a lively conceit though perhaps the use of both so 
close together is not altogether desirable. It is better to err on the 
side of restraint even with the flowers themselves, than to overdo 
It is the actual outdoor life that counts for most of all to 
the real outdoors person— the lazy afternoon with a book 
and then tea which can be enjoyed in an Ostend chair, since 
this protects from sun or too much wind as the case may be
