On the porch of Mrs. Charles H. Sabin’s farmhouse at South¬ 
ampton, L. /., glazed chintz shades give a pleasant silhouette of 
color and design 
Porches Inside the House and Out 
(Continued from page 45) 
color and type of floor. Everyone 
agrees, of course, that tile and brick 
floors need some sort of covering and 
even the painted porch floor is more 
livable for a rug or two. 
One of the problems in furnishing an 
enclosed porch is the choice of curtain 
fabrics or fabrics for shades. One should 
have this protection against glaring 
light, and the colors on the porch will 
blend and become mellow when the 
sunlight is tinted by a fabric. Sunfast, 
which comes in a range of colors, is 
the natural first choice. Theatrical 
gauze with a wooly block fringe in rich 
colors is another non-fading fabric to 
use. Cretonnes and linens all suffer 
more or less from the temptation to 
fade, but if the price of replacing them 
every few years is not considered, they 
afford the widest range of choice and, 
when some of the upholstery is of the 
same linen, a pleasing harmony is given 
the porch. Roller shades of glazed or 
painted chintz have the merit of color¬ 
ful silhouette. In choosing fabrics for 
the porch, do not hesitate at gay, full, 
rich, natural colors. Here is the su¬ 
preme place for them. 
In furnishing the terrace and loggia 
one may add wrought iron furniture 
to the wicker and reed. The old cast 
iron benches one used to find in ceme¬ 
teries and ancient gardens have been 
succeeded by delightfully light tables, 
chairs and benches of wrought iron 
with seats and panels of rattan. The 
tables are especially delightful with their 
dark blue and green marble tops sup¬ 
ported by wrought iron legs. If marble 
is found too expensive, the top may be 
wood painted to simulate marble. One 
of the illustrations—Mrs. Otto Witt- 
penn’s house—shows a white marble 
garden table used on the terrace for 
dining. It fits in perfectly with its 
background of house and garden. 
Creating a livable terrace for a city 
house that stands on a narrow lot fenced 
in with high walls seems almost an 
impossibility. Fortunately, in New 
York City developments where whole 
blocks of old brownstone houses are 
being remodeled, these fences and walls 
are being torn down and the area be¬ 
tween the houses made a big garden. 
Where that is not possible one may 
apply such a simple treatment as is 
suggested by one of the illustrations—a 
low wall encloses a brick terrace. The 
garden path is of stone laid with wide 
cracks for crevice plants. Herbaceous 
plants and low shrubbery fill the beds 
on either side. Window boxes and 
vines, lattice on the walls, statuary— 
all contribute their share to making this 
city terrace and garden a delightful 
spot for summer living. 
The Passing of the Ice Man 
(Continued from page 64) 
raises the temperature even in the magic 
iceless paradise, and therefore uses more 
electric power to keep the temperature 
down. 
4. The best machines maintain the 
ideal and theoretical low temperature. 
5. Expect service from the manufac¬ 
turer. , 
6. It is best to have the gas air-cooled 
and not water-cooled because the intro¬ 
duction of water makes for the con¬ 
fraternity of gas and water—a trouble¬ 
some mess. 
7. Demand the temperature-controll¬ 
ing automatic device which starts the 
refrigerating when a temperature gets 
up around 39°, and cuts it off when the 
temperature is low enough to do its 
work. This saves electricity and wear 
and tear on the machine. 
Some iceless refrigerators make little 
cubes of ice by putting trays of 
your favorite drinking water into the 
brine tank compartments. In these the 
temperature ranges from 20° to 27°. 
Desserts, too, can be frozen firmly and 
surely when placed in these trays. 
The brine tank fits easily into the ice 
compartment of the well-made refriger¬ 
ator. The brine tank, compressor, con- 
densor and pump come in three sizes, 
corresponding to an efficiency of making 
two hundred, three hundred, four hun¬ 
dred pounds of ice per day. Actually 
these three typical sizes of refrigerators 
can only store ice to the amounts of 
one hundred and fifty, two hundred and 
three hundred pounds, a difference being 
allowed for melting. 
The condensor, compressor and motor 
of some types of ice machines do not 
take up any more space than that of 
30" x 16" x 18" high. This can be in¬ 
stalled anywhere. 
When ordering an ice-maker for your 
home refrigerator, it is well to measure 
its interior, regardless of its compart¬ 
ments. Get the width, depth and height, 
and multiply them together. This gives 
the cubical contents and the manufac¬ 
turer can then estimate as to the cost 
and size plant that you need.
