And in wandering through the shops thinking of the former your eyes will be attracted to many fascinating new things in wicker, due to some subcounscious influence, no doubt. You will see some of the new standing bird cages; they are as tall as the floor lamps, and have a swinging cage suspended from the top. These cages will add a stunning note to the well furnished porch. You will see many fascinating wicker flower stands * * * has there been such a pleasant fashion in years? It used to be that the plant lover had to pursue ber affections in spite of the style, and have an unfashionâ€" ably blooming bhouse. Now she can have her plants and be stylish, too. There are many chairs with original curves and lines, most of them delicately and coolly constructed for summer, without, however, relinquishing any of their durability, and swinging seats * * * and benches. This light weight furniture is full of possibilities for any part of the house furnished for summer. But in the porch, or on the porch, it has a particular and desirable charm. The porch has become more popular year by year, until now we consider that it has added a room to the bouge, both winter and summer, and when building in the suburbs we would as likely think of relinquishing the joyful idea of the enclosed porch, with casement windows that we may open to the summer breezes, and a hot water system that makes this outdoor room cosey for the winter, as we would think of doing away with the bedrooms. We have the tenacious American love of the porch to thank for this delightful wicker. the exciting porch rugs, and cretonnes and other porch fabrics that may well make this portal of the house a flattering indication of the charm of its owner‘s personality. Not long ago the writer saw a porch literally clothed with glory. * * * An orange and gray block rug, the blocks twelve inches square; orange and black enamelled wicker, upholstered with a black grounded cretonne; calendulas and heliotrope growing in alternate boxes and wideâ€"striped brown and cream awnings. An outdoor room or porch may be handled with daring and pure color. Choose a color becoming to you and to your house, and you will find the porch things in the shops will lend you valuable assistance, so colorful are they. * * * || The Family Pocketbook “ meurt from majority of cases the tro utshe 1; the lack of confide part of the husband. lack upon the part of the Wwife the dafter, many a wife him «he a[1 id her iss only could timg of the fdeas [3 ind id J dnA ahtiakailh has advice * If, when hé mar DM%|actly what be has onld j was of saany on lhr-'-:hn.ul-l Lnow, too was| then she should. be s of also in erder that pian of life npon * [a man would be s ~~ what a amall amot to try to get mien s« and she ds n cording to her ow | No henuschold is h of putting on a bold front.

In the many shops of the city a great variety of summer suills and sport dresses are being displayed. Many of them are of pongee or allk and are very simple. There is nothing that adds so much to a costume of this nature as a pretty tag of the same or similar material, In '{ormcr years it was rather unusual for a woman to go in for sports, so that regular sport cosâ€" tumes . were . not nearly so popular.
