For pointed and round windows an iron 
frame, shaped from one continuous length 
of iron tubing, is bent to follow the outline 
of the openhig. To this head frame is 
hinged the projecting frame, to which the 
awning is attached, as well as the pidley 
line that operates the awning. The awning 
lifts up for a distance before falling back 
against the head frame. For this window is 
suggested a plain fabric with a deep fringe 
TAILORED AWNINGS 
Difficulties with the Round Porch, the Tall 
come. The Frame Must Suit the 
Be Chosen As 
AWNINGS give the final touch of summer to the country house. 
In only a few locations are they not indispensable, both as a 
])rotection against the sun and as a decoration to give color to the 
facade. This almost universal demand for them has simplified and 
improved their mechanics. Any kind of window and door can now 
be fitted with awnings that work satisfactorily. Slip-shod work, 
however, will never be successful. The frames must fit perfectly to 
the window or door openings. The first essential is a good frame. 
.4 special bevel awning is 
made to meet the problems of 
circular or semi-circular doors 
and windows. The frames are 
especially constructed to fol¬ 
low the curved outline of the 
opening. When the awning is 
raised, it folds back closely on 
the structure. This is espe¬ 
cially adaptable to the en¬ 
trance that has a rounded 
portico above the door. For 
smaller doors, as shown in the 
smaller illustration, a fringe of 
awning is used as a pleasing 
decoration and to shield the 
eyes of those inside the door 
Ventilating awnings are espe¬ 
cially adapted to bedroom 
windows, for the two sections 
are so placed as to allow 
plenty of air to circulate even 
when both are dropped. They 
can be made either with or 
without side wings. When no 
side wings are used, the awn¬ 
ing should be somewhat wider 
than the window to prevent 
too much direct sunlight from 
entering the room
