LAST TOUCH FOR BUNGALOW

Selection of Appropriate Furnishings to Be In Keeping With Surroundings Important The finishing touch of beauty about a bungalow or summer home of any sort is the artistic. Summery-looking furniture which is found not only within doors but on porch and lawn. In selecting such furniture it will be found that nothing is more pretty and fitting than the Canton furniture which is Imported directly from the Orient. It Is made of bamboo and wistaria vine and its special recommendation is that exposure to burning sunshine or drenching summer showers hurts it not a whit. The chairs are of such odd and interesting shapes that they make extremely picturesque furnishings. Added to that their bases are of the so-called “hour-glass” shape so that there are no sharp legs to make unsightly digs in tbe lawn. The tea-tables, tabouretts and magazine racks of this Oriental make are particularly good-looking. The nicest sort of rug to use with these bamboo furnishings is the one of Chinese gross. It is also sun-proof and shower-proof and is so loosely Woven that it dries very readily—a decidedly good feature for a porch rug to possess.
