The Fireplace in Summer

A large variety in effects, none of
which is expensive, may be easily made
TO conceal fireplaces during the sum-
The very simplest of these expedf-
ents is to hang a small curtain before
the space. If the opening is sunk
back Of the mantelpiece line, then ar
range this drapery from below the shelf.
For this a small brass rod should be
used. its length fitting over the brick
or marble work at the sides. Small
are fastened into the cement with
screws, if brick work, etc, surrounds
the CRATE
The curtain should be silk or Gre
tonne, in tones to correspond with the
room color scheme. and must be made
with a hem through which the rod can
be run.
the country, where wild flowers are
at hand, the fireplace may become a
thing of beauty" during warm weather
by filing it every day with masses of
fresh blossoms. If the flower decora-
tion is used the CRATE must have a line
OF pans at the very back, of the fairly
deep broad variety, reaching from one
side TO the other. Each pan must be
almost filled with sand; then water is
put in BY having sand bed, long
stemmed flowers or ferns win be held
firmly in place, even in these compara-
lively shallow receptacles.
whose living room fireplace is in a
bright, strong light turns the space into
a bird cage in summer and has a tiny
avtary. The top of the CRATE is closed,
so that il does not show, but still
keeps out wind and prevents the birds
from escaping up the chimney. Perches
are made from steel rods that fit into
rings screwed in between the bricks.
Besides this there are central wooden
perches on movable stands. The bottom
of the fireplace is sanded and several
potted. Towering plants add to the dec
oration The front is merely a wire
fire screen. fitting back at the top to
meet the brick work. 1t is such a one
as is sold for open CRATES in nurseries
The birds have space enough to fly and
the improvised aviary is not only ef-
fective, but is easily kept clean.
Effective Arrangemenf-Such a back
line win be most effective when en-
tirely of big ferns, such as grow in
any woods. and the daily task of pick
ing them is a pleasant one.
Such an arrangement would be i'm
practical for a town house, but another
for flowers is still within the possibil-
tiles Of the fiat dweller For this lat

ter decoration there should be a stand
just as high as the fireplace, the top
being a shelf, then two plain sides
held together by cross pieces at the
back will make it secure, though still
portable This stand may be of soft
wood that may be stained green.
Across the back should be stretched
a piece of gayly lowered cretonne, the
material tackled top and sides to give
a smooth appearance. Across the bot
tom a piece sof picture moulding will
finish it prettily. This when put be-
fore the fireplace completely screens it,

colored geraniums in pots, some ferns.
or whatever one chooses. If liked, ivy
or other vines may hang down the
front. This arrangement is rendered
far more effective if there is a second
row of potted plants on the mantel
shelf above.

ana where the first turkey was found.
A century ago wiser heads than his
did not find the question easy to dis
pose Of, and their discussion was i'm
portant enough to attract the atten-
ton Of the learned Prof Beckmann
Some claimed it was first found in
Africa, whence it was brought In early
days for the banquets of the Romans.
Others believe that, because of its
name, it must have come from Turkey
"a term then applied vaguely to Tar
tary and even to Asia in general It's
German name, kalekuter. led to the
assertion that the first specimens had
been shipped from Calcutta; but those
inchning to this opinion were laughed
at By others, who said that kalekuter
was simply the German attempt to
express the birds cry. A few believe
that the bird was an importation from
the new world. And while learned
heads wagged over the problem the
turkey went straight on gobbling its
way into European barnyards.
1t was introduced into England as
early, some say, as 1924. and at a ban
quet given by Queen Mary in 1855

The Jesuits long were credited
with having introduced the turkey into
France from Spain. This may &C
count for the lifelong animosity to
the Jesuits Of the great critic Boileau
of Louis XIv's time. For Boileau,

two old turkey cocks that he suffered
