Answer. Princes have had their
day and are passe now. The light
filtering thru and the almost con
stant movement of the fl'lngo havo
made It very unpopular..
Query. Are fire-places ever
built without mantels? Mrs. D.
M. V.
Answer. Yes. many of thorn
are. The cobblestone ones in cab
ins and Informal homes aro very
decorative and do not reqquiro a
mantel at all.
Query. How high should fire

Answer. Most of them aro about
fifteen Inches hlRh while somo aro
almost as high as a chair, which
is eighteen inches.
Query. Are. slip covers good for
reed or giass chairs? Mrs. F. P. .
Answer. No. because the un
evenness of the surface of tho
chair is too much uf a strain on
the slip cover . material and the
cover will wear out quickly. If it
seems necessary, however, pad tho
back, arms and all other edges
well with cotton bofore fitting tho

smart, but like our grandmother's
work they must be well done.

for cutting than garden decoration.

On Thinning Peony Buds 1
A garden authority gives It as
hla opinion und a very good opin
ion it Is that this Is tho time of
the month for tho disbudding of
peonies. If ono pinches away tho
Hiuall secondary buds, leaving only
tho central bud to bloHHom, It fol
lows that the favored flower will
bo larger and more sightly than
any of the four flowers would have
been, et us say. Such peony
blooms, thla newspaper will agree,
are for thoe who desire them. And
yet and yet there Is something
to be said for the plant that has
not despoiled of Its flower chil
dren. Not ull peonies are bred for
show purposes, let us bo thankful,
and something besides bigness of
blossom Is sometimes desirable. -We
aspire too freqquently to tho
superlative In flower culture, to
dimcnfdonal superiority more often
than otherwise. Vet many of tho
dearest wards of the gardener aro
minor by nature, and thrice lovely
because It Is necessary to pay the
tribute of the bended knee if the
beauty of the blossom would be
obacrved. As we say, a peony that
provides unusually large bloasoms,
owing to tho thinning process. Is
beautiful In all truth but that it
can be more beaut jful than one
which has retained alt Its bloom,
and has hidden Its verdure In a
burst of rich color, we arc not pro
prepared to grant. Form, color,
loveliness, all are .there fn any
.event, and the wisdom of nature
stands not reproached. Hho was
the first gardener, and taking It by
and large we are bound to concede
that sho has done fulily well with
her gardening.
A full bloom peony blossom Is
huge enough In any case, The
peony is nut a plant to scrimp Its
blooms. They are ample and gen
erous. Ami to those who hnve the
least reluctant? to thin their peony
buds that tho stalk shall bear but
one bloom, wo would say that It is
permissible, and ethical, and not
bad form tu refrain. They may
do as they please, since It Is not
a) pies they are growing, nor pro
ducp for any market but a flower
desired and beloved for Its pro
fusion and prodlgullty of blossom.
