FOR HOME ADORNMENT.
Convert an Old Mantelpiece and Fireplace
Into Things OF Beauty.

Into Things of Beauty.
How to modernize an old-fashioned
mantel-piece and looking-glass is the
puzzle to many a housekeeper. Most
old-fashioned mantel-pieces are so
narrow, therefore il is advisable to have
board made at least ~ inches in width
and several inches longer than the
original shelf; have this fixed by screws
to the shelf, and have curtain rod
fixed beneath the board; cover the top
of the board with plush or fine cloth,
fixed by tacks; the front drapery may
be of embroidered satin or plush, or of
the pretty tapestry now sold in so many
soft colors. The curtains may be of
Indian silk, Roman satin or plush;
they are edged with fringe; the drapery
of the looking-glass is of the same ma
terial as the curtains, the center being
embroidered with a garland of roses
and foliage; the drape is IA inches deep,
and is cut one-half yard wider than that
on the curtains; it is plated once and
slightly looped up midway between the
center and the sides, which gives it n
festooned appearance; the center is
slightly raised at the top under ro-
settle, and the ends are ornamented with
loops of silk and chenille cord and tas-
sells; the sides of the glass may be COW
cred with the same material as the
drape in small, straight folds; this may,
however, be omitted if the sides of the
glass are pretty and in good condition.
An ornamental banner screen with
brass mount, is placed in front of the
fireplace in the center; the curtains
may either be opened slightly or may
be drawn to, according to inclination.
