PEUNISG ROSES.

The object OF pruning roses is to
keep up supply of new wood, since
the flowers are born only on tie wood
OF the current seasons growth. Moss
roses, therefore, in common with all
other kinds, need pruning. How
much IS best to prune any particular
KIND OF roses, or even any particular
plant. depends TO some extent on the
strength of the plants. As a rule,
weak plants, or weak growing varieties
need more severe pruning than strong
ones: Again, if one wishes large
specimens OF roses, he will prune
more severely than ii he desires n
large number Mt the expense of the
size of the individual blooms. New

The Right Sort of Dining Room.

There are dining-rooms and dining
rooms, but | know little woman
with an attenuated pocket book but
very wise head who has secured the
prettiest ono imaginable at an abb
surdly low cost. The room was one
of those characterless apartments,
perfectly square with two doors and
only one window, unless we except a
horrid square hole in the wall through
which the viands are supposed TO be
passed from the pantry. In the first
place she had the walls and ceiling
stained light, grayish blue, which
made the room seem third larger
with its impression of misty distance.
The lower part of thu wall, from the
dashboard to just the height of an
ordinary wainscoting, was then
smoothly covered with blue denim,
forming a most effective dado, fin
ished at the top with an oak molding
which matched the wood finish of the
doorways and answered admirably as
a chair rail. The floor covering
was blue denim, the effect
being the same as ingram filing,
and in the center Of the room was q
lovely Japanese rug in softest blues
and yellows. My friend did not have
money enough left for n sideboard
after she had bought her pretty oak
table and six chairs, so she got an in
expensive oak serving table with
slender, curved legs and placed it di-
r:ctly beneath the Objectionable pan
try window. She then invested in
two small oak wall cabinets with
glass doors, exactly alike and nailed
them TO the wall over on each side of
the pantry window, with the base
resting on the table below. A dainty
silk curtain in the same blue and yell
low shades as the rug was hung be-
fore the window, while her pre- ttiest
cups were put in the cabinets, and
the top of the table, covered with a
beautiful embroidered scarf, held a
few pieces of rare old blu. china. A
few pictures in oak frames and palm
in a yellow jardiniere frightened the
apartment, while blue denim draped
the doorway and white muslin cur
tain added TO rather than concealed
the light from the one window.
Everyone admires that pretty room,
but no one who knows its secrets can
help admiring its clever owner more.
Her table when set for dinner
sparkles with glass and silver. She uses
no jardinierss but has in the center
silver candelabra with yellow shades.
Flowers fade, and even growing
plants have to be replaced, but her
lovely candlestick will always remain
fresh and shining. 1t is one of her
wedding presents, and she uses it be-
cause she can't afford flowers; which
reminds me OF one family who used
silver dishes because they couldn' t
afford china ones This is u literal
fact. The silver had been in the
family for years, and the present
generation, going TO housekee ping
stratified housekeeping in flat-used
it for long while before they were
able to buy the necessary china.
