SUMNER FREPLACE DECORATION-The con-
sideration in the minds of many housewives at
this season-what to do to hide the unsightly
fireplace. now fire ia not needed-is met BY
the correspondent of a London journal, from
whose communication we extract the following
suggestions: considerable brightness can be
given to fireplace, especially if it be situated
In dark part of the rOom by merely standing
In front Of it-inside the fender Of course-a sim.
pleframed looking-glass of sufficient size to hide
the whole crate and surrOundings-infa fact to make
the plan thoroughly complete the frame should
mt into the inside square of the mantelpiece
and it should be supplied with couple of hand
les near the top. SO that it may be lifted easily
and safely away when the CRATE is required fol
use. well-designed piece of panel-like orna-
mentation. on a so-called frebOard, stood and
ntted in like the lOoking-glass will answer per.
fectiy; or II this square framework be merely
covered with piece OF paper, the same as that
with which the room is hung. the effect must be
quite unoblectionable. while the cost of such a
cOntrivance need not be large. AS is often the
case, the simplest and least expensive plans are
the best. Thus when ali is said and done in the
matter OF ornaments for the fireplace the Japan.
ese umbrella. cut short at the handle opened
and placed in front of the bars, makes one of the
protest devices conceivable. These exuuisitelv
co.oged and designed pieces of mechanism come
within the reach of almost any pocket, and it is
doubtful whether, when turned to the pur.
poses OF crate ornament, they can be ex-
eeeded for beauty and general effectiveness,
should add that the system not unusual.
OF drawing velvet curtain across the whole
space OF the fireplace cannot be thoroughly
recommended; for, although it is in the abstract
unO6jeetOnable, and allows Of the CRATE being
used at a moments notice, practically 1t is moi
good. Drapery in such position becomes the
veriest dust-trap that can be imagined, and it's
condition. after few weeks use, will inevitably
horrify all cleanly housewives, If they will con.
descend to examine it. And so we come back
to the principle that whatever the ornament FOL
the fireplace is, it should be easily removable
and easily eleanable or replaceable at slEal
outlay"
