on the north side of the house. The ser¬ 
vice quarters are as attractive with 
shrubs and vines as are the other di¬ 
visions of the garden, which are kept 
uniform by the wide stretches of green 
lawn, by the hedges that bound the en¬ 
tire place, and by the higher hedges that 
outline the service paths and separate the 
west lawn from the fruit garden and the 
latter from the service yard.

"demonstrated” right down to the kernel. 
Four ears to a stalk, each maturing in 
succession, he made the basis of his cal¬ 
culation, with an allowance of two ears to 
an eater of varieties like “Country Gentle¬ 
man” or “Stowell'sEvergreen,” or three of 
the smaller-eared kinds like “Golden Ban¬ 
tam." One stalk of the former will afford 
four pickings, therefore, of one ear at a 
time; eight ears are needed at a time for 
four persons — therefore, eight stalks to 
harvest at a time are the requirement, or 
twelve stalks of the smaller varieties. 
Starting in May with the early varieties, 
sowings of corn to this amount every ten 
days will spread the corn festival out over 
the entire summer, instead of crowding it 
all into a few delirious days — or weeks. 
In the same fashion, he carried us 
through the winter vegetables, figuring out 
to a beet the number needed to make up 
just so many meals during the months 
when beets must be dug from the cellar 
instead of from the garden; and carrots 
and salsify—this stays out of doors, of 
course, and is dug all winter from the gar¬ 
den — and cabbage and celery, and every¬ 
thing the same.

and convenience, we might condense 
room-furnishing into the following classi¬ 
fication : Hangings, rugs, furniture, orna¬ 
ments (lamps, pictures, etc.). 
Hangings, draperies, are eliminated at 
the start. Without a specified room to 
work on it would be impossible to suggest 
curtains or other hangings without going 
too deeply into the color scheme of the 
room. And choosing a rug is also rather 
a serious affair. But one cannot go far 
wrong in choosing a Persian rug. The 
very large rugs are disproportionately ex¬ 
pensive, but a small one, say 6 by 8, is 
well worth its price, and can be fitted in 
almost anywhere. The rug, however, de¬ 
pends largely upon the shape of the room 
it is to be used in, and upon the placing of 
the furniture — and should better be left 
to the owner to decide upon. 
Furniture is the next, and perhaps the 
most important, feature. One of the 
most attractive of the new pieces is a set 
in combined mahogany and cane. The
