A GARDEN ALWAYS GREEN 
Mattie Edwards Hewitt, Photo. 
Here one is sure of finding summer cheer on even the dreariest day. The little pool and a few 
growing things — Ferns, Ivy, and Box — offer refreshment, and sufficient color is afforded by 
judicious use of chintz and cut flowers. Home of Mr. Demarest at Forest Hills, L. I. 
the garden. In the wall space between the two doors leading 
into the living room (the largest wall space, by the way, as 
windows monopolized the remainder) a low wall fountain was 
placed. This was flanked on either side by tall, simple wrought- 
iron stands which held large bowls of growing Ivy. The rim 
of the fountain was set with Tunisian tiles — very interesting in 
design and rich in color — and the cement lining of the basin was 
colored a deep turquoise blue. 
On the wall spaces between the windows simple hoops of 
wrought iron, riveted into the walls, held jars of orange pottery 
filled with Ivy. On either side of the door leading to the gar- 
den great Italian jars — turquoise blue and holding sprays of 
Laurel — were silhouetted against the light. 
Cane furniture of that light and graceful type which comes 
to us from southern France was used. This particular set was 
woven in black, orange, and tan to further the general scheme 
of color. Chair cushions of green cotton material, and on the 
chaise-longue a few black pillows embroidered in bright wools 
added the final touch. 
I his room, when completed, held much of the spirit of the 
garden, its gaiety and its color; yet it also possessed all the 
customary comfort of indoor living.
