The Old Gardener Says:

FuchSiaS are coming into re-
newed popularity after having
been neglected for many years.
At one time they were known as
lady's eardrops, and the term is
still sometimes heard. FuchsiaS
are usually claSsed as house
plants. but are grown most sue
cessfully in the Summer months
and can be used to special ad-
vantage for porch decoration and
in window boxes, although there
is no reason why they should not
be set out in the garden. They
are among the few Towering
plants which will bloom in the
shade, a fact which gives them
added value. Root cuttings may
be started late in August or early
in September, the cuttings being
made from the suckers which
come freely from the base of
plants. The cuttings should be 3
inches long and can be potted up
singly in 2-inch pots, using a
mixture of sand, loan and leaf
mold. AS the plants grow, they
should be pinched back in order
to produce side shoots. They can
be carried through the Winter in
a window garden and they will
begin Towering in their pots in
May. When the weather is warm
they may be bedded In the gar
den.

Start going. His neither parts can
stand a lot of friction, and will re

and say kind word or two. 1t helps
both the puller and the pullee.
As a final resort persuade friend
to walk along behind with a folded
newspaper and instructions to make
the puppy's base the target every now
and then for a very gentle slap or
two. 1t will look funny to some neigh
bors. Others may call out the police.

Whenever he balks continue the treat

When the family order is established
ard Pups. jr., can take regular walks
in the proper manner, remember two
things. Do not take him out after a
full meal. Keep him off the streets
during the heat of the day. While
walking in the late afternoon he may
come to an iron grating in the side
walk and Immediately pretend he has
an immovable base. Now that is an
other matter. The chances are the
grating is hot. Feel 1t. If there is any
heat at all don't insist on his cross
ing. Let him walk around 1t like a

Sideboards Replaced
The Long Tables Used
In Chippendale's Time
Shearer Is Credited With Having Been the
First Cabinetmaker to Perfect
Piece of This Type.

THE typical Sheraton sideboard has
either slender, turned and reeded
legs supporting a superstructure in
which there are deep drawers or cup
boards at either end and a shallow
drawer or cupboard in the middle Of
the shaped or straight front, or else
the ends are square, projecting some-
what from the straight middle portion,
and are carried down almost to the
floor as cupboards. These square
ends are oftentimes built up above the
top of the middle portion to serve az
bases for the support Of knife boxes or
urnS.
Sheraton also designed other side
boards OF a pattern which we often
associate with the name Of Hepple-
white. These sideboards had shaped
fronts and square tapered legs or round
tapered reeded legs and ends contain
ing drawers, and the middle portion
one shallow drawer, the part under
the drawer being left followed out for
the accommodation of a cellarette or
wine cooler. SideboardS Of this type,
however, can be ascribed TO designer
only approximately. They were gen.
orally made to order.
1t is known that Sheraton did not
favor the serpentine front, but pre-.
ferred square ends and sprung fronts,
or with the whole frcnt convex in
form. Knife boxes had either slant
tops or were made in the shape Of
urns. The square ended sideboards
with the eXtremitieS surmounted for
the knife urns took the place Of the
earlier sideboard tables, which, during
the Chippendale period, were elaborate,
rectangular oblong side tables sup
ported on four, sometimes six legs.

&IDEBOARDS provided a medium
for display of inlay and veneer.
Feather edging, feather pattern OF
veneer or marqueterie banding and
block inlay was very popular. Fan
shape patterns and other motifs we're
used in corners. Handsome mounts
were very prominent. The mounts Of
Sheraton furniture were very similar
to that Of Hepplewhites. Both types
have engraved ovals with ring handles,
the round ringed or chased mounts
with either brass knobs or rings. ard
the octagonal mounts with ring ham
dies. The mounts used during the lat
/ ter part Of the Sheraton period often
has lion-headed handles with rings
pended from their mouths. The key
plates are generally diamond-shaped
ivory, flush with the surface Of the
door or drawer When ivory was not
used narrow, brass flush rim took its
place.
The later pieces often had ornate
| mother-of-pearl inlay, as well as
marqueterie banding. The sideboard
portrayed on this page was Of this
type. The owner, preferring to have
the more conservative veneer and in
lay only, had the pearl removed from
the cupboard door panels, replacing it
with the bell flower drop inlay. A
local cabinemaker achieved the trans.
formation.

DEAR Mrs. Post: When a widow is
IN deep mourning and a men,
Der of her family is appointed to
write thank you notes for flowers and
kindnesses, is it suitable for such ex-
pressions to be written on black
bordered note paper?
Answer-Yes. They write on the
widows black k-bordered paper with
her address or monogram or initials at
the top.
Dear Mrs. Post: Must an informal
invitation to a tea be written on the
hostess visiting card or is it in equally
good taste to use a partially en-
graved card, which is intended to be
filed in?
Answer-A partially engraved card
is entirely proper. but somewhat more
formal than is the visiting card.
Dear Mrs Post: Will you give me
your opinion of a double-fold card
without the outside fold engraved
with both name and address similar to
the conventional visiting card? My
handwriting is naturally big and
simply cannot reduce it to fit neatly
on my visiting card From what
you have not written, be-
lieve you are not very enthusiast
tic about the double fold card
as a substitute for the visiting
ri l,ot
when visiting card is too
small to be practical. to use note
paper But, Mrs. Post, social note
paper carries either a crest or mono
gram or an address without the
name, and this double card 1 am re-
ferring to would be engraved with
name and address in the lower right
corner as any visiting card and, used
for invitations, should be much more
lucid. I shall be interested to know
what you think.
Answer-There is no objection
whatsoever to using this double Wis
iting card if you like it.

Dear Mrs. Post-I would like to
ask one of my best friends here at
camp to go home with me for several
weeks. Does this mean that l am
obligated to pay her train fare? And
when we're home, may ask my boy
friends to take her out and let them
pay her expenses as we'll as mine?
This doesn't seem quite fair to me.
but I believe other young people are
doing it.
Answer-Properly your friend should
pay her own fare, but if she doesn't
offer to do so you can't very well
ask her for it. In the same way. if
one Of your boy friends invites her
out, you can't very well hand him
the price of the ticket or whatever
it Is that he pays for.

ticed him, to all at once be sur
rounded by fawning fatterers and
lickSpittles who tell him how great

it must mean to a man who has
thought himself as middle-aged and
unattractive to women and that he
was done with romance to suddenly
have girls young enough to be his
daughters making love to him and ply
ing him with their arts and wiles
and making him believe that he
is a mere boy and a greater heart
smasher than Clark Gable.

money has gone to his head and
turned him a bit crazy temporarily.

has never had.
But il you will be patient and wait
while the gilt will wear off his GIN
ger bread. He will find out that the
fulsome flattery he is tapping up now
is always the approach to a touch,
and that the innocent little girls who
love him for himself alone have their
hands in his pockets. And he will
find out that he can't go the pace with
the young ones. that his little flare-up
of youth was just synthetic and that
he is tired and bored hopping around
and wants to go back to home and

Puppies who first saw the
light of day this Spring are getting
initiated to Washington weather ano
to leads at the same time.
One situation is about as inevitable
as another. Sooner or later every pup
comes to the place where he must put
on his lead and walk. The canine who
doesn't fight the first time he is taken
out hitched on to a human being is
very rare. And the human who car
hold himself together while breaking
in a stubborn or frightened puppy is
just as scarce.
About the best age to put a young
dog on lead is three months. Don't
do it all at once. Start with collar.
Let him get used to that. A few days
later, in peaceful, controlled frame
of mind, approach the puppy, fasten
the lead, walk a few steps as though
playing and dangle the strap before
him. Pat him on the head. He'll prob
ably lunge for bite of the lead, then
sit down. If possible, have a piece Of
meat in the left hand, let him sniff it.
Keep it before him and move along.
That may be all that is necessary.

GHE PATIENT in gathering
* your furniture" advises an
/ experienced collector. The
really wise man or woman
is willing to wait to find some we'll
chosen piece to fill exactly certain
place that seems to have been made
on purpose for it. Patience in fur
nishing Is a virtue often well reward
ed, for, sooner or later, you are almost
sure of finding just what you are look
ing for"
This bit Of advice the amateur col
lector may we'll heed, for foolish en-
thusiasm Is really extravaganza. To
buy for the sake Of buying an old
piece, regardless whether it may be
useful, or fit into the decorative scheme,
is very apt to result in confusion. If
one advances slowly in the collecting"
business, one naturally takes time to
outline goal and learns to distinguish
with discrimination as to what is really
desirable and suitable for individual
needs. The choice of furniture, conse-
quently, is far more wisely executed.
One learns, for example, that it may
not always be possible, and certainly
not always desirable, to furnish room
or home in the exact style of a single
period. 1t may be found necessary and
best to adopt a scheme that follows
closely related historic periods that
merge one into another.
SHERATON. Hepplewhite, Chippen-
dale and Shearer are four styles, for
instance, that blend with perfect har-
mony. A dining suite consisting Of a
Hepplewhite range table, Chippendale
chairs and a Sheraton sideboard re-
suits in a perfectly legitimate combina-
tion of so-called periods" One would,
on the other hand. never place a
dainty Sheraton chair in the same
room with heavy sprawling Queen
Anne armchair!
1t was really Shearer who developed
or conceived the graceful sideboards
that posterity SO unfairly attributes to
one or the other of the greater design
ers. Before Hepplewhite made his
beautiful inlaid Sideboards with SER
pentine fronts and tapered legs, Shear
er had not only evolved, but fully de-
velcped. the main portion of the type,
and had produced or designed side
boards of the pattern that compared
favorably with those Hepplewhite or
Sheraton produced later so far as con-
tour and proportions are concerned.
In the introduction of various in
genious contrivances. however, Shera-
ton carried sideboard making a step
farther than it had ever reached be-
fore.
He has been, as a matter Of fact,
credited with perfecting the sideboard,
and some Of the finest pieces Of master
craftsmanship in period furniture are
Sheraton sideboards. They have been
the pattern by which many of the
finer contemporary reproductions have
been made.
