X. Mr. John B. Hawes. This, by 
reason of its layout and setting has un¬ 
usual possibilities as an enclosed garden. 
But grass and the scanty flowers give the 
impression of the lawn outside being re¬ 
peated within. If there were no lawn out¬ 
side this might be easily made a very at¬ 
tractive layout, but the impression gained 
on entering it is that of finding a piece of 
the lawn within the enclosure. There 
ought to be a marked difference between 
what is within and without, as the purpose 
of an enclosure is separation, and there is 
no object in separating similar things. 
Christmas Gifts That Furnish the 
Home 
( Continued, from page 359) 
make particularly unique gifts if prop¬ 
erly selected and used in the right way. 
They will serve as couch covers, por¬ 
tieres or piano draperies, and if chosen 
with due regard to color a piece of this 
sort will often give the keynote to the 
decoration of an entire room. Embroider¬ 
ed Bulgarian scarfs that are much used 
for making small pillows come in the most 
beautiful colorings and designs for $3.50 
and up, while Bagdad pillows of ordinary 
size are $2 each. 
Keeping in mind the needs of one’s 
summer home, whether it is a separate 
establishment or only the year-round house 
done over in summer garb, there are 
numerous things that make suitable gifts. 
India prints in fascinating designs are 
only $3 for the 4x9 foot size, or $4 for 
the 6x9. Washable table covers in at¬ 
tractive and quaint patterns are only 75 
cents, and Java print pillows are $1 each. 
Serviceable articles made of brown bam¬ 
boo, a comparatively new importation, in¬ 
clude jardinieres, waste baskets, lamp 
stands and baskets of all sizes. These are 
not only attractive in appearance but 
reasonable in price, and are suitable with 
furnishings of almost every description. 
The Japanese lamps that produce a glow 
rather than a definite light are quite a 
novelty, and may be had with standards 
for use as table lamps or in lantern shape, 
to be fastened against the wall and made 
to serve as side lights. 
Screens of various sizes and designs, 
particularly the small decorative affairs 
are always useful in houses with a certain 
type of furnishings, and make acceptable 
gifts so long as they correspond well with 
their surroundings and are not so elaborate 
that they overshadow everything else. The 
little one panel silk screen with a decora¬ 
tion of flowers on one side and a sketchy 
Japanese scene in black and white on the 
reverse is quite inexpensive and suitable 
in a room of almost any sort, while the 
heavily embroidered three panel screens 
with frames of carved wood demand sur¬ 
roundings of a decidedly elaborate charac¬ 
ter.
