It was yesterday and 1t will be as salable
tomorrow.
Just at present there are some charming
conventional designs being shown, but the
gold band is too pretty and convenient to go
out and the new innovations are merely
whims of fancy.
The History
OF the table, traced from the primitive
"boarde' laid on trestle to the beautiful
product of the eighteenth century Is an
interesting one. In our country its history
has been closely allied with that of the
chair When the latter was heavy and cum
bersome the table was also When graceful
lines appeared in the one they were soon
duplicated In the other.
Tables as tables have never won special
favor. AS necessary adjuncts of household
furnishing they have been regarded but
not always. as beautiful as useful. In many
rooms all the furniture may have been care
fully selected with the exception of the
table, which was allowed to pass muster
provided it could be hidden beneath a cover
What mattered the wood or design when it
could be concealed beneath chenille and en-
broidery?
Whatever we may choose now In the way
of table we display fearlessly, the table
cover, in the old acceptance of the term
having passed away together with the
marble top" and the lambrequin The table
must conform to the rest of the furniture
1t must be stained oak or colonial or what
ever other style we may elect. 1t can no
longer be any miscellaneous thing so long
as 1t stands on four legs and fills other table
requirements. 1t must also be beautiful
The renaissance of the table is largely due
to the arts and crafts workers and to the
furniture makers who followed in their
wake. The well-designed and well-executed
models which are now a feature Of our
libraries, dining rooms and living rooms are
merely REVEALS of the old designs The
trestle table of the middle ages and the
table of later date, held In place by x
braces and secured by wooden bolts, are re-
produced in countless ways by modern
craftsmen who have caught the spirit of the
old furniture makers and added something
vital of their own The simple stained oak
table Is par excellence.
From 1870 until 1880 mahogany was king
of woods. All furniture of this period is de-
sirable, but for the highest products Of fur
niture crafts we must turn to the late eight
zenith century, when Chippendale, Hepple-
white and Sheraton raised cabinet making
to the level of an art

The Best Time

The Best Time
To insert cuttings of roses Is about the
end of September or the month of October.
Their growth then is practically complete
and the shoots are fairly firm.
A plan which has been often successful Is
to take an ordinary garden frame, stand it
on hard bottom, and in it place COM
post made up of loan, self-mold and san1
In equal proportions. This must be thor
oughly incorporated, and, when placed in
position and pressed down firmly should
be about six inches deep. 1t must then be
watered and allowed to stand a few days
before inserting the cuttings.
These should be taken from shoots which
have borne the first crop of roses of the
year. as they will then be in the half
ripened condition required. They must be
stripped off with a slight heel and not cut
from the plant Four inches is the proper
length for the cuttings and they should be
prepared in the following manner:
Take off all the leaves except two or three
upper ones, and these will soon drop. Then
clbble the cuttings in firmly, particularly at
the base, and bury them for three parts Of
their length-that Is to say leave only
about an inch above the surface of the soil
-Four inches or Whereabouts Is a suitable
space to leave between cuttings. The frame
must be kept close, giving only a little air
occasionally for q short time In order to
dry UP superintendent moisture. A little
protection should be given If the winter is
severe, as the action of frost will lift the
cuttings and prevent their roofing They
may be lifted by the latter part Of April
or early in May, potted, and returned to
the frame, gradually hardening them off
till they may be stood out of doors, and in
August planted out permanently.
The cuttings may be planted In a shell
tered border at the foot of wall, If no
frame is available. but as a rule the same
amount of success will not be obtained as
when protected by frame.
Plants
In the wrong place is the apt description
that has been given to weeds. Practically
speaking, they flourish all the year round,
and a few warm showers and sunny days
cause them to thrive astonishingly. Often
great damage Is done by weeds before one
properly realizes spring has come and that
the hoe must be prepared for use.
Grasses of all sorts, chickweed, dead net
ties nettles, groundsel, dandelions and
docks are the weeds most commonly met
with. The first two almost universally APP
pear on cultivated ground. Time and money
are necessary to get rid of the couch grass
or twitch grass when piece of ground
gets fairly overrun with this, the worst of
all weeds. Where ground is allowed to re-
main idle for. time it is sure to appear,
and the only effective method to get rid Of
1t IS to fork it out thoroughly and burn
every scrap,
After Kidding the ground of this pest. po
tatoes are good crop TO plant. Potatoes
are hoed over several times before being
e6rthed. and when they are dug there is an
opportunity of getting rid of any couch
grass that has appeared.
Trenching is mistake, as couch grass
must be buried at least three feet to kill
1t. and to bury good top soil at that depth

They are founced, the flounces being bound
in silk ribbon.
Everythingi is tending to the coolest shades,
and even the candy boxes offer breezy sug-
gestions. They are developed in grass green
and their decorations are for the most part
floral.
Tidy Travellers
Find a morocco case that is really fasci-
mating, which contains in a concise form
every little nicely by way of accessories the
toilet calls for. BY the way, any woman
searching for something as a gift could not
please a man better than by purchasing one
of them.

Is offered every inducement this season
to buy these essential garments rather than
go to the bother and expense of having them
done at home. For 95 cents a fair-looking
waist may be purchased. having twelve
small tucks on either shoulder, the front
inlaid with narrow lace insertion of a not
altogether ineffective quality, while 1895
buys one OF sheer muslin deliberately tucked
and inserted with lace and applioued de-
signs.

cinating conditions. hammock is source
of pleasure on the porch. Pillows and cush-
ions covered with cool-lookfng green and
white and blue and white and pink slips are
effective. And a bewitching idea is to have
a fireplace at one side, for there are days
and evenings even in summer when the
little fire would not come amiss, and then
think of the cool evenings in the fall when
one could roast chestnuts and tell stories

Where windows of the dining room open
on the piazza it is easily arranged to serve
breakfast supper there. An easy way of
service is to have trays arranged for each
person. These can each be covered with a

This Season
Furnishes an increase in the variety and
styles of furniture especially adapted for
| use in the summer home. When it is for the
serving of tea the lawn or porch the tea
wagon will be found a useful addition to
the housefurnishngs. 1t is made of wick
er, the predominating color being red with
an Interviewing Of green and tan. In the
same combination Of colorings are to be
seen outdoor chairs modelled after the pic
lures of English beach chairs. Another &C
cesSory to the piazza is small wicker
bookcase. 1t is large enough to hold the
favorite books and small enough to be
easily moved about.

structed of wicker galow furniture and on
severe lines suggesting the mission furni-
ture, without being quite so straight and
square. Two arm chairs have cane backs
and seats and the wood of the framework
is dark brown dull-fnished oak
Shirt Waist Boxes
Are articles of such practical value and
there is so much demand for them that they
may be had IN many different varieties Of

1 Is sheer waste. as this means burying all
| the sweetened fibrous soil and bringing
poor, hungry stuff to the surface to take
| its place. The lime tree is the only one
known that will kill this weed. After the
| first year or two no weeds will grow to any
extent under lines. being either killed by
| the drip or shade. Where there are gaps
weeds make a start. showing that they are
killed by some overhead influence. and not
through any action of the roots of the
lines. Dry weather Is necessary when
cleaning the ground of couch grass, so that
every piece can be shaken out ready for
burning, and If the work cannot be done IN
the spring ii should be left until the sum-
mer, leaving the ground uncropped for
season. The cost varies with the nature OF
the ground to be cleaned.
Hand wedding or the use of the hoe dur
ing the summer will keep down other kinds
of grasses, chickweed. groundsel and dead
| nettles. but 1t should always be remembered
nothing ought to be taken off the ground
that be left 1t. 1t Is a bad plan.

way of mulchng. Such material can be

they only be gotten rid of by forkinS

this only means two or three growths In

sends deeper and firmer into the ground.
A New Variety
+ OF sweet potato having great economic
value has been acclimated In the expert
mental gardens of Bordeaux. 1t is prolific
and Is native of Dahomey. The leaves OF
the plants can be used as a substitute for
spinach, and the tubers containing a higher
percentage of sugar than beets are fine
favors and make exceptionally good food
for live stock. At present the authorities
have only limited quantity of tubers, and
as these are to be used wholly for repro
duction 1t will not be possible to obtain
samples for American experimenters until
next year A box containing ten of these
sprouts has been placa4ht the disposal of
the American consul as the representative
of the Smithsonian Institution, but as the
young growths are extremely fragile and
susceptible to changes of temperatures il

the United States, however well they may
be packed.

At first thought swallows may not seem
to have much to do with the work of the
agriculturist, nevertheless indirectly they
take their full share in the economy of ma
ture. They are among the most useful as
well as the most innocent of birds Impor-
tant is the mission of these children of the
air. Mosquitoes, gnats. midges, all more or
less tormentors of mankind are devoured
by the ceaseless activity of the swallow
Science has discovered that many malig-
nant fevers and mortal sicknesseS are con-
Veyed by such insect agency TO human be-
ings and therefore we should join hands
with foreign countries in an effort to pro-
tect the friendly birds-which are our pre-
servers from real danger.

possibilities. When it Is opened and stood

the writing stand, with its perfectly equipped
compartments, is a set of drawers in which

tain. hung from a small brass rod, are sew
eral hangers suspended, which may carry as

Verandas-
On summer homes are often oddly con-
structed, but usually in some artistic man
ner, and these out-of- door rooms are as
carefully selected as those of my lady's
chamber or of the drawing room. Such
exquisite taste is combined with simplicity
in their design that the entrance to the
house is as attractive as any room within.
