SUN HIGH!

-but Janet Jay suggests ways to keep the house fresh and cool inside

D

URING close and sultry weather, it's nice to come home after a hot day at work to a cool house. But real cool- ness inside is a big problem, especially in those bouses which have no gardens and which may be shut in by high walls or buildings,

Bricks absorb and store up hent rays, and in towns one has to con- tend with this mdiated warmth na well as with direct sunshine. it in essential to give the outside of the house some sort of protection. "Keep cool" preanutions can well start out of doors.

Washing the outside brickwork, for instance, is a great help to cool- ness in hot weather. Stone window olila can be washed down with water once a day, and If you have a hose or large watering can, spray the door-steps and garden path. This inys the dust, and the path will both look and feel cool for nome time.

Any dust which has found its way through to the inside window allia can be wiped up with a cloth wrung out in warm water containing a little household disinfectant, and if you do this regularly you will find that flies are not so anxious to come in.

Most garden furniture stands up well to the weather, but don't let

I look after itself entirely. Can- vas chairs collect dust from paths and the road, so I give them a weekly brush, using a scrubbing brush or sti! clothes brush,

If there's no room in the garden shed for deck chairs, stack themn and cover them with a sheet of tar- paulin when not in use.

For meals and general purposes, the "camp firo" folding chair is a most comfortable type---Just the right height for a table, and with .supporting arms and canvas back. Three or four of these will supple- ment the deck chairs.

Garden Comfort

But for sheer comfort you can- not beat the new guinea garden Li-Lo lounge. This influtes, and the sldes ure specially shaped to prevent rolling. The pillow is pumped up separately, and aup- ported at the back by a wooden trestle, which you can adjust to threa different positions. The lowest is ideal for an afternoon nap or for sunbathing, while the highest gives a comfortable semi- sitting position for writing or needlework.

All garden cushions should be waterproof, because a kapok filling can hold a good deal of unaus- pected moisture. Lancaster cloth is one good material for covers, or you could fit eretonne cushions with a backing of this material.

Then you won't have to worry they are left out on the damp Krass.

Which reminds me, if you are planning improvements to thr garden during the holidays, you might put a series of "stepping stones," flat slabs of stone or con- erete, at intervals along the lawn. These make a dry path to garden seat or the spot you have chosen for the shelter, and they al save slippers on the evenings when there happens to be heavy dew on the rass.
