A logical and legitimate field for orna¬ 
mentation in the shape of carving is found 
in the beam ends, corbels and brackets. 
This ornamentation may be simple as in 
the beam ends forming the corbels to sup¬ 
port the central bay and the brackets sup¬ 
porting the gable in the house at Abing- 
ton, or it may be very elaborate as in the 
Stanley house in Chester where corbels, 
brackets, console beams and pilasters are 
all richly carved as they also are in the 
shop buildings shown in St. Werburg's 
Street. Good taste alone can set limits to 
the amount of carving to be indulged in. 
Certainly a reasonable amount of it is de¬ 
sirable. 
The “pugging’’ to stop up the spaces 
between the timbers offers a chance to dis¬ 
play originality in its use both as regards 
material and color. In the cottage at 
Lingfield, Surrey, the panels are “pug¬ 
ged’’ with brick laid in herring-bone pat¬ 
tern. Other patterns in brick may be 
effectively used also. Then there is al¬ 
most no end to the variety to be had from 
different kinds of plaster and stucco and 
even tiles may be requisitioned. In some 
instances the plaster has been roughly 
frescoed. Nearly as much opportunity 
for decorative invention is opened up by 
the pugging as by the timber treatment. 
One caution, however, must be heeded if 
you would avoid disastrous results. See 
that the pugging is most carefully placed 
and due precautions taken to prevent an 
embarrassing and unsightly shrinkage. 
To compass this end the plasterer must 
know his business thoroughly.

dreaming that it should end so disastrous¬ 
ly for both. The Skipper is a saucy, pert 
little fellow with uptilted wings, dodging 
here and there in a tipsy, zigzag flight 
which makes it almost impossible to catch 
him. Like the Admiral he wears epaulets 
of orange and his somber brown uniform 
bears little else in the way of ornament; 
but he is decorated with a silver medal, 
no doubt awarded to some far away an¬ 
cestor for bravery, and cherished and 
proudly displayed by every descendant. 
He does not intend that it shall escape 
your notice for he never fails to carry his 
wings upright to display it in the best 
manner. The wistaria and the locust 
furnish his food in the early stages of 
his existence. 
One of the most interesting of all the 
butterflies, especially to our visitor and his 
friends, was the Grapta interrogationis, 
or the Question-sign Butterfly. A subtle 
comradeship seemed to be established be¬ 
tween this little rover, who bore upon his 
under wings the silver question mark, and 
the lads who were struggling with the 
rules of grammar. He wore a full orange
