The Summer Furniture Is Delightful in
Variety and Charm
"Sunshine of Summer, oh, what is like thee?" sang
the good and gentle poetess. The furniture that goes with
the "sunshine of Summer" should be of a joyful and
attractive kind, and indeed it is, as you can easily see if
you take a walk through the Summer Furniture Section
on the Sixth Floor. Summer furniture may be as rustic
as you please, or as refined. It can be attractively novel
or unpretentiously simple and practical, and it can strike
a color note of special aptness.
Here is the primitive appeal in good, old rustic cedar
and hickory. The cedar family is a large one, comprising
big, little and middling size pieces, capacious Summer
houses, impressive pergolas and canopy settees, as well
as gateways, fencing, benches, chairs and the like.
Tn hardy hickory there are chairs, rockers, benches,
stools and tables.
But willow and reed and cane suits and pieces pre
dominate. In these are many pretty and unusual color effects,
mostly used in charming combination with cretonne uphol
steries. There are suits and pieces in silver gray, in stone
gray, in French gray, in frosted brown, in ivory and black,
in ivory blue and in all-white; in vermilion delightfully
combined with black and dark blue, in green combined in
tho same style with pink. Theso are a delight, and there
arc fiber suits also in any number of colors.
