ounted by gracefully curved urns, box trees,
statues, marble benches, fountains--all these belong to the formal
outdoor trellis.

The trellis is primarily suitable for garden architecture, but it may be
fitted to interior uses most skilfully. Pictures of the trellis room in
the Colony Club have been shown so often it is not necessary to repeat
more than one of them. The room is long and high, with a floor of large
red tiles. The walls and ceiling are covered with rough gray plaster, on
which the green strips of wood are laid. The wall space is entirely
covered with the trellis design broken into ovals which hold
lighting-fixtures--grapes and leaves in cloudy glass and green enamel.
The long room leads up to the ivy-covered trellis of the fountain wall,
a perfect background for the fountain, a bowl on the brim of which is
poised a youthful figure, upheld by two dolphins. The water spills over
into a little pool, banked with evergreens. Ivy has been planted in long
boxes along the wall, and climbs to the ceiling, where the plaster is
left bare, save for the trellised cornice and the central trellis
medallion, from which is suspended an enchanting lantern made up of
green wires and ivy leaves and little white flames of electric light.

The roof garden of the Colony Club is latticed in a simple design we all
know. This is lattice, not trellis, and in no way should be confounded
with the trellis room on the entrance floor. This white-painted lattice
covers the wall space. Growing vines are placed along the walls and
clamber to the beams. The glass ceiling is supported by white beams.
There are always blossoming flowers and singing birds in this room. The
effect is springlike and joyous on the bleakest winter day. The room is
heated by two huge stoves of green Majolica brought over from Germany
when other heating systems failed. Much of the furniture is covered with
a grape-patterned chintz and a green and white striped linen. The
ceiling lights are hidden in huge bunches of pale green grapes.

I recently planned a most beautiful trellis room for a New York City
house. The room is long and narrow, with walls divided into panels by
upright classic columns. The lower wall space between the columns is
covered with a simple green lattice, and the upper part is filled with
little mirrors framed in narrow green moldings, arranged in a
conventional design which follows the line of the trellis. One end of
the room is made up of two
