With the arrival of sunny days- and long mellow avenings. the center of family activity begins to move away from tha living room to the porch. terrace or backyard. from attic and cellar come the lounge chairs, snack tables and other summer furniture. And. as usual. they show signs of wear.

Washing Wicker

Wicker or the plastic webbed pieces can be brightened with a kood soapy bath. Use a brush that's not too stiff and lather well. To rinse. put the furniture in the yard and turn on a hose spray. After the wicker is thoroughly dry. rub a light coating of polish over it for a soft ,aheen.

Protecting Finish

Painted wrought iron should be washed with a soapy cloth or sponged. rinsed and then waxed to protect the finish against the weather. Natural wood picnic tab- les and benches. too. will benefit from a little scrubbing. Wash with soap and water to remova surface dirt and stains. Rhine and allow to dry.

HAWTHORN

Spring goeth all in white Crowned with milk-white may! In flcecy flocks of light

0'er heaven the white clouds stray:

White butterflies in the air: while daisies prank the ground: The cherry and hoary pear Scatter their snow around.

-Robert Bridges.

The. Hawthorn is found on the roadsides of our province and was brought from England by our earliest settlers. The fragrant blossoms were used at a conven- tion for decor Ion last week and the branches were graceful and attractlva. In the older settle- ments many farms were bordered with this hardy tree and in the springtime as a child it was one of the pretty sights of my home. In the Memorial Nursery list of trees suited for hedges it la listed with many other suitable shrubs. and seeing it again reminded me of the fragrance that we loved and the red berries in the autumn.

Because of the thorns it was used a great deal in England to keep the animals from the large estates when there were no other barriers. and Mary Webb describes the early springtime in this poem.

.In this nioiith of June it is a great delight to be out In the gar- den vinrking when there is so much beauty and fragrance and blrdsong. In all the other spring months we were preparing and working for this beauty and certain- ly we needed all the faith and per- serverance that we could muster to keep going. How different it is now. If I had my wish I would stay cicry minute of every day and all of the daylight hours en- joying the lovely outdoors in this month. Yes. more than the day- light hours. ltecattse the evenings are. the loveliest of them all. But even indoors it is possible to en- joy this month . . .

June is idle month of the tree blossoms in our Province. and even if more were no blossoms In the wood the fresh can leaves and the tender green eras make a walk in the woods something spe- cial which never comes again until another year rolls around.

ing day. Finish by rubbing briskly with a dry cloth.

This treatment will keep the wood from graying after exposure to sun and rain: food stains won't soak in and motile the surface.

Faded Cushions

If the chaise lounge and ham- mock cushions look faded. do a quick recovering job with sturdy sallcloih. tcrrycloth. denim or plastic. all easy to sponge or wash clean. As for the dining and snack tables. work-savlnu plastic cloths and mats are the ideal warm wea- ther table settings.

There are handsome plastic mats and runners that look for all the world like those of fine linen or or-zandie. They come in various colors and color combinations as well as the usual white and nat- ural color. Alihoiigh these do not require special laundering or iron- ing, they do need reasonable care to keep them fresh.

Suds Them Off

To prevent odors and to keep them from sticking together never fold or put these pieces away with- out first sudslng them off and al- lowing them to dry-either on a line or right on the table. In ad- dltlon to sponglng off. the tax- tured matii should be scrubbed oc-
