Garden Furnishing
In this amazing land we never know whether we shall have a heat-wave or a hailstorm; - nevertheless, bright bursts of sunshine such as we have enjoyed lately turn thoughts to deck chairs and garden mattresses. Deck chairs in particular are all very gay, having forsaken canvas of all kinds, either plain or coloured, for cretonnes and chintzes as charming as ever graced a sitting-room. They are all floral, and all of the true-to-nature type, the delphiniums and hollyhocks of the chintzes vying with Nature in the herbaceous borders. Of course, everything must match, cushions and garden mattresses as well, and if you would be really smart when you serve tea in the garden, your raffia-worked tea-cosy should be embroidered with the same motif as the chair cover.
Mr Henry Ford announces that he intends to devote his life and £20,000,000 of his fortune to founding trade and other schools. Society, he says, owes it to youth to educate them so that they may fill places of usefulness in the world.
