A GARDEN OF DELIGHT
AMID THE SNOW
By AGNES PORTER
F you are a lover of flowers
and of all green and grow
ing things, and if At tht
same time you are the pos
sessor of a porch, you an
Indeed fortunate, for in that cast
you are well equipped to create fo
yourself and your family a source
of inspiration and delight that wii
brighten the winter months whei
field and wood and garden art
sheathed in icy mail.
Left to itself, the porch is a bleak
and unused place throughout tht
winter; but enclosed in glass it be
comes the sun-room, or solarium:
where the harshest, polar blasts are
set at naught by sunshine and by
vivid blooms which vie with cre
tonnes of jubilant coloring to cre
ate a garden paradise beneath the
family roof tree. By the sun-room
the beauty of the out-of-doors ia
merged with the comfort and
warmth of the home.
Plate Glass Most Satisfactory
The enclosing of the porch is a
comparatively simple matter for
competent workmen, but care
should be taken that the right sort
of glass is used. The glass must
admit the full f'^ce of the winter
sun. It mus‘ offer a clear view. It
must be thick enough to retain the
hear, and keep out the cold. That
sounds like a large order, but plate
glass, always easily available,
meets all the requirements.
Once the glass is in place, the
question of walls, floors, hangings
and furniture must be given the
most careful attention, and here the
possibilities are varied enough to
allow full scope for individual
tastes. Color is, however, the dom
inant factor in the decoration of
the solarium. When the color motif
has been determined upon every
thing should be chosen to harmon
i7« ,"i‘h it.
The Decorative Scheme
i ne rear wall of the sun-room is
usually the outer wall of the house.
If the wall is of brick or of rough
stone, a lattice for climbing vines
11
'will afford an effective tuatrnent.
f the wall 13 ot stucco or wood it
.3 advisable to give it a neutral, re
''"iag color—soft g-ev, pale blue,
I ght green, or creamy white—so
hat the blaze of the sunlight may
not appear too garish. Grass rugs,
the patterns and colors of which
harmonize with the wMl. are ideal
tor the floor.
There is really no limit to the
possibilities of the chintzes and
cretonnes for the curtains , and
cushions. The lover of the unusual
finds abundant material for achiev-i
ing delightful and individual ef
fects in a chintz of invisible gretjn
and white check on which disport I
red, tan or black animals from the
jungle or farmyard. Or there may
be had quaint blue and white!
prints depicting rural scenes and j
various agricultural enterprises.
The Furniture
The furniture plays an important
part in creating the atmosphere of
cheerfulness and comfort which is i
so necessary for the sun-room, j
Wicker and reed furniture are ideal
for the purpose. Both because of;
its light, summery quality, and be- j
cause of its flexibility, furniture of;
this type permits comfortable dl-j
mansions without awkwardness. At
the same time such furniture al- j
lowv pienty of room for origin cur
ious and pads. Another point to
be considered is that wicke- and
cane can be painted to conform to
any color scheme.
As for tha plants, which mast Co
chiefly depended upon to gtve he
solarium its gardonesque appear
ance. there are any numbe’* o' 'Ni
neties to choose from. The aoli
cate fronds of the ferns and tho
stately palms "Mil give the back
ground of green. Flashes of bril
liant color will he supplied by coral
and red geraniums, oleanders, be
gonias and the flowering maple.
For the hanging plants, which add
so much to the attractiveness of
the room, othonna, moneywort,
saxifrage and asparagus sprengeeri
are available.
The decorative possibilities of
the sun-room are infinitely varied.
It is potentially the most striking
and individualistic room in the
home. Irres!stibly It attracts all
who come within range of its infill-,
ence. Its cushioned lounging
chairs invite one to bask in the
tempered winter sun. Its fresh
greens and splashes of crimson,,
blue and yellow add a note of sum
mer gayety and cheer when the icy
blasts sweep over the snow-bound
fields and rattle the gaunt branches
of the leafless trees.

TO THE GATEWAY EDITOR,
Dear Sir:
i “Just a few lines to let the readers
i of The Gateway know a part of what
i transpires in Seward and vicinity,
i while they are asleep. Now, Mr, Edi
* tor, do not misunderstand me. I will
» not attempt to give your readers a
j list of all that transpires in Seward
* 'while they are asleep; that would
take a pmarter man than I am. But
I will give them an idea of what hap
pens on the -wharf, while the town
people ar sleeping.
“To start with it makes but very
little difference what kind of -weather
■we have when the whistle of the boat
sounds in the harbor; you will see
every man at his station. There is a
place for every man and every man in
his place. We will take Mr. Painter
who is always Johnny-on-the-spot.
' There is no man who has to wait for
" Painter. He is always ready and
willing to wait on every one that has
business connections with his office.
Mr. Painter is as faithful an employe
as the commission has and what he
does is done right.
“Next we have Mr. Horton, the
‘old war horse,’ always on the alert
and on duty to see that every man in
the employ of the commission, is there
and not shirking his duty; Mr.
Horton is there to remind him that
he was put there to work and there
is lots of it to be done and he ex
. plains to the men what he wants
* done and how to do it. Mr. Horton
reminds me of a joke about the Irish
man and the weasil. He started in
pursuit of a weasil and chased him
into his hole. Shortly after, the wea
sil appeared, coming out of another
hole nearby. The Irishman chased
him back only to find him appear in
the opposite hole until the weasil ap
peared in both holes at the same
time. So it is with Mr. Horton. He
is on the wharf, in the warehouse, in
the cars, where the loading takes
place. At all three places at once and
if you do anything wrong that Mr.
Horton does not see, you are lucky.
Mr. Horton’s motto is duty first and
he treates every man as his equal but
he certainly gets results.
“Next we have Mr. R. Brooks, the
watchman of everything. If any man
is discovered napping or shirking his
i duty he has to walk the line to the
office. Now, Mr. Brooks is the worst
jof all. He walks the wTharf w'ith Ban
'bury at his call. Mr. Brooks is a
gentleman, kind and courteous to the
: employes, faithful to the commission
and a gentleman in every respect.
“Next we have Mr. Banbury, an old
timer in Seward. His| duties are to see
to the checking in and out is done cor
rectly, to see that all merchandise of
any description is inspected and all
shortage and damaged merchandise of
every description from any cause, is
reported and who is liable for the
damage and all is reported and charg
ed to it proper account. The shortage
has to be made good. Mr. Banbury cer
tainly protect the shipper and also -
protects the commission and is at all
time right where he is needed. There
is not a man employed by the com
mission that attends to business any
prompter than does Mr. Banbury.
“Next we have Mr. Leonard Hop
kins, another checker. He is not a
heavyweight in comparison with Mr.
Horton but is a little hustler just the
same, always attentive to business.
If you desire information in regard
to freight of merchandise, ask Hop
kins and he will straighten matters
out.
“Next we have Mr. Dyer, another
checking clerk who assists in keeping
everything in shape, always ready and
willing to help in any difficulty and
sends every one on his way rejoicing.
“Now, Mr. Editor, all this may seem
simple and foolish to write so much
for nothing, but let us stop and con
sider the number of articles received,
