POLISHED FIREPLACE.
I admired very much a fireplace in the 'dining room of a house in which I have been staying, writes an Englishwoman. The surrounding brickwork looked so mellow and resembled soft leather, and I felt constrained to inquire into the matter. I found, that, on arriving in their newly-built house, my friends simply lo&thed the crude brickwork of the fireplace, and wondered just what to do with it. Their cook solved the problem by suggesting that it should be polished And so, polished it had been every day with furniture cream, though it had taken ■weeks to get to that mellow state; but once the bricks had ceased to absorb the polish, a soft shine began to appear, and now it is polished once a week only.
