They are ao easy of accomplishment, these porch corners, that one wonders why they are su seldom seen. True, space ofteu forbids. On the straight, narrow city porch they are practically out of the question though something of the effect may be simulated with a screen, several potted plants and a chair or two arranged around a small table. But for the large deck porch, open on three ide, or, . mule particularly, for the porch that runs around two sides of a huuse, nothing Is more charming than such an arrangement of ruga, fur niture, plants and Mowers as to give the appearance of an open-air room. One Ingenious woman, whose nieaiia were aa limited as her arlisuo sense was keen, created such a corner from some old kitchen furniture found ln her grandmother s attic. Two long woouen tettees, with nu merous hi((h runts for a back and a broad seal, were renovated with a coal of green puint und placed at right an gles on two sides of the house, around which a broad porch ran. lurectly at the corner and between the settees was placed a large round deal table, with one side cut. so that the projecting house wall luted Into it. This was also painted green and held several small palms at the back, while the front was devoted to a brass bookruck anu a big old-fushloned lieltt bowl, always kept full of nasturtium'. At the far c.id of e.i. seWee wers grouped Swveral tall potted plants, rub ber trees and palms, while close in Uie corner ot the porcn and behind a swinging settee were banked other foli age plants. This swing, by the way, was no mod ern invention of wicker, but was sim ply a short broad bench, with the legs sawed off and suspended from the roof by stout ropes. A number of gay bandanna-covered pillows made It perfectly comfortable. An armless rocker, also of wood, with h.gb slatted back, a low armchair and a steamer chair that had seen much service were all treated to fresh paint tad forced Into ssrvlos, wall at ost - -:.f.-... down all around, and stitched on the outside as far from the edge as one de sires the flat hem borded to be deep. Muttonholes and buttons arc put across the back that the case may b. easily re moved. The pillows ln red snd whit, and blue nd white crash, either plain or worked lu cross stitch, though not new, are always attractive for open air use. Then there are strong ticking pillows In two shades of green or blue worked In a splashing walls-of-Troy design In a circular wash braid. Rather more attractive and dainty and suitable for use on the veranda proper are pillows covered with the new stamp ed English prints In rich shades of dark and Alice blue, rose, green, browns and reds. These are In conventional pat tern, often Egyptian, the colorl'.g is really lovely and Is absolutely fast in washing. They come In yard squares, snd are also used for table covers. When put on a pillow the four corners are caught together on the back and sewed tight. A flowered cretonne pillow with roses has a new touch given it by being piped in plain green, with a deep-shaped design on ita outer edges, made of plain light green art ticking bands piped with a darker green. Other serviceable and pretty covers which may be bought ready made are Blips of natural-colored linen trimmed with Imitation torchon lace applied ln conventional designs. These slips have Sound ZTggs a hemstitched ruffl. of linen and are la.tened with hooka and eyea across one end, under the ruffle. Altogether th. variety of outdoor pll lows need only be limited by the In genuity of the maker or her stock of remnants. But three qualities are neces sary to these covers. They must ba re movable, washable and so cheap that one need not be in eonatant fear of the plllowa being stolen when left outside by day or night COZY CORNERS "id. was a low wooden table, where tea was served each afternoon.

Th. ends and back are of high open wicker, with small double shelves arranged at the corner lo hold books, bric-a-brac and Ilowera.
