The Sleeping Porch By Day and Night 
(Continued from page 68) 
were black enameled reed enlivened 
with green. Cushions and day time 
covers, which were taken in at night, 
were chintz with every color of the 
dower garden and sunsets and sky 
as though in replica of the view— 
which no screening impeded, for no 
mosquitoes abided there and millers 
and bats were regarded as friendly. 
Many a supper party and many a 
story read aloud from the books kept 
in the sail-cloth-protected reed book¬ 
case were enjoyed by the light of the 
alcohol-gas lamp—the softest, most 
caressing known after the candle and 
without the dicker. Its base was a 
dowery Japanese vase with vellum 
shade. That perfection of dooring, 
cork composition with plain green 
body in 12" squares and border of 
numerous colors gave a velvety sound 
to each footfall. 
As THE Japanese Do 
How we envied the two boys whose 
house being dlled with summer guests, 
betook themselves to a commanding 
point in their farm and built them¬ 
selves a house that was all sleeping- 
porch like many a Japanese house, 
only they had no sliding, paper-dlled 
screens nor door sleeping-mats. In¬ 
stead they had two beds swung from 
the roof like hammocks with ample 
room to walk between. The slanting 
roof projected each side at least 6' 
beyond the beds, so that no rain could 
enter. There were camp chairs and 
tables that folded against the wall 
when not in use. Simplicity reigned 
throughout. 
The natural bark of the wood dec¬ 
orated the outside. Gray army blan¬ 
kets covered the beds. There they 
enjoyed the variations of nature, the 
sunrises with their accompanying bird 
concerts, beginning far away with 
one little bird sound and ending with 
a revelry of music, and the sunsets 
and moon’s phases. When the wind 
howled they dreamed of the sea, and 
when the thunder storms broke 
around them they felt like Norsemen 
or heroes of old, till all the secrets 
of Nature and Art seemed revealed to 
them and they became poets and 
painters—-or were they these before 
they built the porch, and was it Art 
that prompted the building? 
The Final Touch to the Landscape Scheme 
(Continued from page 47) 
as the needful pressure is maintained 
in the supply pipe. As shown in one 
of the illustrations, it may be installed 
in a decorative basin and pedestal, but 
it is equally available for the ordinary 
pool. The one requirement in the 
pool is that it shall have a diameter 
of at least 4'. 
A 1" supply pipe is large enough 
for the intermittent jet, with Yf for 
the nozzle, which latter should be 
hammered to a rectangular opening 
before attaching to the larger pipe. 
About twenty pounds water pressure 
will be ample to make the jet operate. 
In making the installation, the pip¬ 
ing is so arranged that the opening 
of the nozzle is about 3" below the 
normal surface of the water in the 
basin. When the water is turned on 
in the supply pipe (the cock for this 
may be located at any convenient and 
inconspicuous place), its force emerg¬ 
ing from the nozzle sets up a sort of 
wave in the basin which, as it recedes 
and advances, alternately checks and 
releases the water issuing from the 
nozzle, thus causing it to spurt up 
for some distance above the surface 
at regular intervals. 
The success of this device depends 
on the proper relation between the 
size of the nozzle, the depth of its 
submersion, and the water pressure 
available. Consequently, if the first 
trial is unsatisfactory, do a little ex¬ 
perimenting with some or all of these 
factors. Whatever combination you 
finally decide upon, however, see that 
the water does not spout too high, 
else it will blow about unpleasantly in 
a strong wind. 
Informal Treatments 
A consideration of strictly in¬ 
formal, naturalistic water features 
leads ns into a field which is limited 
only by the environments and the per¬ 
sonal preferences of the garden plan¬ 
ner. The possibilities range from a 
tiny, grass fringed pool of a foot or 
two diameter to the pond or lake 
which covers an acre or more. 
If there is a brook available, its 
course can be made into a real beauty 
spot. The tumbling, rocky stream 
suggests waterfalls splashing cool- 
ingly into miniature pools overhung 
with wild columbines and ferns; ju¬ 
dicious planting will make of the 
slow-flowing brook a picture at once

'Water-lilies alone are ample for many a pool. The old planting 
rtiles for garden flowers apply here as ivell: don't use too many 
varieties, and don’t mix them indiscriminately
