AN EASILY MADE PIAZZA.
ToO many country homes are unprovided with shade, where one may get fresh air without hot sunshine during the warm • months of summer. Many think they cannot afford to build piazzas, while others objeot to having these permanent structures -on the ground because they shut out the sunshine in the winter when it is specially needed. This is certainly one strong objection to permanent piazzas, unless they can be constructed against such a part of the house that no room may be shaded by their roofs. An illustration, however ; j shows how a summer veranda can be constructed at small cost of time oi* money— a veranda that will give shade in summer, and in winter will , keep no sunshine out of one's house. A per- ' manent platform is laid before the dour, and above this is arranged a light frame, well • braced, that oan be quickly taken down in. the I fall This frame Is covered with awning cloth, which is inexpensive, -and, if cared for, will last many years Of oomve the shape and size can be altered to suit the sr*t»' or 1 shape of the house.
