THE FIREPLACE IN SUMMER.
Methods Suggested for Screening an

lem to the housewife. or number of
excellent plans for screening or decorat-
ing fireplace none is more sensible or
ornamental than that of turning it into a
sort of fernery. Ferns, ivy, swamp Ill

ties of Oriental sIiS love to root in cool,
dark, moist places, and properly drained
and planted. a fireplace garden can be
made gust rs attractive as one in a win
dow.
One woman. whose cottage drawing
room Is provided with an od-fashioned
square brick fireplace, in which the an
| uque crane still swings. and above which
the narrow mantel shelf is set very high,
reSorted to very simple measures for
Identifying it during the summer. She
! bought three copper pots. such as the
florists hang in their windows full Of
| howers. These she had filled with earth
| and planted with green things that love
the shade. and stringing them along the
crane she effectively screened the smoke
| hlackened cavern where the flames had
| leaped all winter.
Another resourceful housekeeper. who
| has had large experience with house
| plants, found last winter that English
ivy would grow If allowed vase of fresh
! water every day, in which to keep its
green toes moist. With the coming of
| spring, she dared not plant her ivy out
doors, knowing it could not withstand the
| whitening heat of our climate. Accord
ingly, she bought two boxes made of
small green tiles, filled them with rich
| earth, and larger portion of sand, and,
| taking two well-grown ivy sprays from
the water, she planted them on either
side of her plain hearth. Two more
sprays she put in boxes and set them on
either end of the black marble mantel
| itself.
The ivy has already grown up and
down, aud promises 10 throw rich green
veil over the whole fireplace. frame. and
