FOR t, COLOR HARMONY AND LONQ WEAR 
Everywhere , the Exquisite ‘Tints 
and rich solid tones of Klearflax Linen Rugs 
are striking the key-notes in color schemes of 
charming livability. Dainty shades of rose, of 
gray, of taupe; darker notes of green, of blue, 
of brown —every Klearflax color is dipped 
deep and full into the immortal fabric ot dur¬ 
ability—linen! 
And such linen you have never seen! Thick 
and heavy with a flat-lying weight of four 
pounds to the yard, it is super-linen—a fabric 
which reveals its flaxen origin in its sturdiness 
of wear. 
Reversible, the Klearflax Linen Rugs offer two long wear¬ 
ing surfaces. They double the life of their appearance. 
Mothproof, dust-resisting, easily cleaned, they are econom¬ 
ical. And gloriously colored, they are the correct foundation 
for the building of color harmony in the home. At better 
class furniture a?id department stores everywhere.

Arbors, Summer-Houses and Trellises 
(Continued from page 64) 
green, consider the opportunity which a 
trellis will afford for introducing this 
note. Erected against a building, and 
supporting a vine, the effect of rising 
vegetation will be accomplished quite as 
surely as with a tree—in a single sea¬ 
son’s growth, moreover. 
Attaching Trellises 
As to the practical advantage of sup¬ 
porting vines on trellis work I hardly 
need say a word, I am sure. Certain 
kinds of buildings are not injured a bit 
by being themselves the supports of 
vines which climb over them; but these 
buildings are comparatively few. Nearly 
everyone’s house is better off if sunlight 
and air can get freely to its surfaces. 
Trellis work is the answer to how one 
may have vines and this condition too; 
and if you will erect such trellis work 
from a firm foundation at the ground, 
to which it may be attached with hinges 
that permit it to swing outward, there 
will never be anything to worry about 
when painters are necessary. Its top 
must, of course, be attached to the 
house in one way or another: I have 
used ornamental wrought iron supports 
fastened to the building, over which the 
trellis hooked; and, with equal success. 
cabin door hooks placed on both build¬ 
ing and trellis so that they were at a 
tension and drew against each other— 
this to overcome rattling in the wind. 
Ingenuity can doubtless devise other 
methods if neither of these appears sat¬ 
isfactory. The one necessity is firmness 
or rigidity on the one hand, and ease 
of release on the other. 
Finally, with trellis work, as with 
everything else, see that it is of a de¬ 
sign and character that will keep it in 
its place relatively, in the scheme as a 
whole. While a garden should have a 
dominant note at each season of the 
year, this note should never be its struc¬ 
tural embellishments or features. Weigh 
the proportions of any garden that you 
know, and if its pergola, or certain 
balustrades or stairs, or an arbor or 
loggia, or any other feature settles into 
your visualization of it, be sure that 
this feature is “over-weight.” Each in 
itself may be remembered, but always 
as adjuncts of the whole, quite in the 
same way that the wonder of the roses 
in June or the phlox in July and 
August, the iris in May or the chry¬ 
santhemums in autumn, are remem¬ 
bered—each an important and lovely 
feature of a lovely whole.
