COMFORT ON THE VERANDA

Furnishings That Are Just Now High in Favor WitTT the Leading Decorators. For the ideal veranda the decorators are now recommending Windsor chairs, armchairs and settees and French fibre rugs, which come in brown and green in very charming colorings. The Windsor chairs are to be had in the original at very moderate prices considering their age and in very good reproductions at even more reasonable rates. The French fibre rugs which have proved so very satisfactory for veranda use are made from grape vine fibre by the French peasants. They are very durable. There are also the Celtic rugs, which come from Scotland and are in a variety of colors, most of which are decidedly vivid. The veranda tea table which is supposed to harmonize most admirably with the Windsor chairs is the Jacobean round table, which, although very expensive in the antique, is to be found in creditable reproductions. Then for the lighting of this quaintly furnished veranda there are Wonderful lanterns of frosted glass, and brass. These In the original are rare and correspondingly expensive, some of them costing several hundred dollars apiece. There are, of course, many varieties of lanterns which even among the genuinely old are quite Inexpensive.
