him) and—presto! you have multiplied the delights 
of the old home. The famous CYPRESS POCKET

is provided with a little spigot, and the 
howl is made fiat on one side so that it can 
be set close against the wall. The bowl 
is also provided with two holes near the 
rim so that it may be hung on two nails 
to give it greater security. Two little 
brackets, one to support the bowl and the 
other for the pitcher, come with this set; 
there is also a mug. Against a wall of 
tongue and groove boards this set is very 
effective and is a most useful contrivance 
for the bungalow or camp which is not 
provided with all the conveniences of mod¬ 
ern plumbing. This washstand arrange¬ 
ment can be made very attractive by hang¬ 
ing curtains of the material used for the 
other draperies of the room, on a rounded 
rod (barrel hoops can be made to serve 
the purpose satisfactorily) placing a nar¬ 
row shelf for the various toilet necessities 
between the two brackets and a narrow 
mirror at the side. Quite a complete lav¬ 
atory can be arranged in this way. and at 
the same time add very considerably to the 
appearance of the room in which it is 
used. The other set, of which there are 
five pieces, comes in two colors, an old 
blue, and a brilliant green like the set just 
described. 
Of the rugs shown for use in summer 
homes there is a great variety this season 
exceedingly attractive, and very moderate 
in price. A plaited grass rug is one of 
the most neutral in tone, and for this rea¬ 
son, will work in successfully in a number 
of places. These rugs are made of dried 
grasses braided into strips about two 
inches wide. These strips are then coiled 
mmm 
Willow beds are now made with pleasing 
canopy tops 
round and round in spiral form, and sewed 
together, making round, or rather ellipti¬ 
cal shaped rugs. A little color is woven 
in in simple design by using strips of 
dyed wool plaited in with the grass. The 
smallest of these grass rugs, just a little 
mat, costs $1.75, a rug 6x9 ft., $11.50, 
and a rug ii x 13 ft. 9 ins., $23.50. Rugs 
made by blind workers are of extra heavy 
quality, and in excellent colors, and give 
better service than the lighter weight rag 
rugs, attractive as many of these are in 
color and design. The chief objection to 
most of these light weight rugs is that 
they are apt not to lie flat on the floor.
