rThe Latest Notions Present Some At
tractive Draperies.
The window hangings, draperies
in general and other accessories that
make for the adornment of the
house "beautiful and that the art
'decorators are now showing are lux
urious. to a degree. It is noticeable
that there is as much latitude allow
ed in the selection of draperies by
the woman who would he fashiona
ble, so far as her house is concern
ed, as there is in the choice of her
wardrobe.
The holland or plain linen shade
that for so many years remained un
adorned save for a more or less
elaborate fringe is now transformed
into a thing of beauty by a fringe
of applique lace and insertion of the
same in artistic pattern. In one
style of holland line shade sfeen
recently the applique design w r as on
a foundation of black net, but the
color was not apparent when the
light shone through the shade, and
the combination of the light buff
linen and the lace was exceedingly
effective.
Brussels net with a broad border
of silk applique on heavy net repre
sents one of the latest designs in
handsome lace curtains, although
Arabian lace is still the favorite in
the^more costly window hangings.
In the line of heavier drapery for
the window or for portiere use the
silk curtains in- the most delicate
shades, with embroidered edge in
silk to match and applique or silk
in self color, are exquisite, particu
larly in the shades of pale pink and
blue that are just a little darker
than the pastel colorings.
For summer use in particular, but
not necessarily confined to this par
ticular season, are the Scotch mad
ras curtains, which are now found
on the list. They can hardly be
considered as costly or luxurious
' draperies, but they are beautiful in
the finer grades, which drape as
gracefully as crepe de chine and are
really as soft as this poplar dress
' material. To mention the color
combinations would be to catalogue
all the possible, variations of yellow
and brown and red and blue and
green and pink in artistic effect.

Color In Decoration?.
It is quite a common thing for
rooms to be decorated with one par
ticular color, paint, carpet and
hangings all agreeing, so that they
can be known as the “green room”
or the “blue room” or the “pink
room,” etc., according to their col
orings. The idea works out charm
ingly* but failure sometimes comes
about through a too great sameness
in the color of the surroundings.
The decorations of a room may be
emphasized by one particular color
scheme, but yet admit of slight re
lief color being introduced to avert
monotony. A green room, for in
stance, may be relieved with a touch
of gold in the damask hangings,
wall paper or carpet or with a dash
of terra cotta if preferred, and in
the same way a pink room can have,
by way of association, touches of
canvas color, fawn or pale green. A
blue room can be relieved with ivo
ry or dull gold, yellow room With
white or a very little faint blue, and
ia red room will look all the better
for being touched up with a soft
shade of green. Green, in fact, is
a color that in one or another of its
varying shades is a safe “associa
tion” with almost any hue. Of this
fact we may take a lesson from na
ture, the brightest flower of whatso
ever color being beautified by its ac
companying green leaf.
Two shades of the same color can
be used instead of a strong contrast
if preferred. The woodwork of the
loom will look all the better for be
ing painted a deeper shade than the
walls. It will thus, throw up the
paler tint and balance the whble
better.
Wanted Nate Salsbury to Salute
First Advance Agent.
It was raining cats and dogs when
Salsbury and Major Burke of the
Buffalo Bill Wild West aggregation
left the transport at Barcelona, and
the latter, when half way down the
gangplank, removed his hat, says
the New York Press. “Put on your
hat, Burke. Your head is getting
wet,” urged the manager. “Look

there,” said the major. “Where ?
don't see anything.” “There, there,
man!” “I don't see anything but
rain. Put your hat on.” “What,
keep my hat on in the presence of
that?” “But you're getting soaked,
man. Don't stand there like a fool.
Put your hat on.” “Never! Not
while in that noble presence!”
“Now, John, you're going crazy!”
“But, man, don't you see it ? Can’t
you recognize it ?” “The only thing
I see is a statue of Columbus. What
of it?” “My dear fellow, can you
ask ‘what of it ?' Why, he’s been
your advance agent for 400 years!”
Butler's Clincher.
“I think General Butler was the
best posted man on all questions be
fore congress I ever saw,” said an
ex-congressman to the New York
Sun. “Now and then some con
gressman inferior to him in brains
■and information got the advantage
of him, but he more often came off
victorious in that arena. He and
Sam Cox once got into one of those
long running debates on the floor of
congress, each often putting ques
tions to the other in the most perti
nent and brilliant way. It was
Damascus blade against Damascus
blade. At last Cox put some wor
rying question' to him, leaving his
seat to do so, with a gleam in his eye
as if saying, ‘Now, old fellow, I've
got you where you must confess or
surrender.' Butler, being tired of
the badgering, turned on him as a
manner in which it was said
coming upon the house so unexpect-
as IJncle Remus says, Cox lost his
money bag, and he wilted as if an
ice shower bath had fallen suddenly
on his little person. Butler walked
over and congratulated him upon
his defeat. Both had a good laugh
over it, and both retired at once, as
if hunting some place that Mrs. Na
tion would smash with a hatchet.”
•A Veal Cutlets.
: |jj§pL hint that will.be acceptable to
.many housekeepers relates to the
|cookmg of veal cutlets. A tough
cutkt is so common that it is ac
cepted at many-tahles as obligatory.
The simple act of scoring a cutlet on
both sides with the point of a sharp
knife, 'drawing many fine lines
quickly across, accomplishes a re
markable-change in the meat alter

„A hearty appetite does not always
indicate a healthy condition. It is
not the quantity of food which is
eaten, but the quantity which is as
similated, which determines the val

stomach and organs of digestion
and nutrition cannot convert the
food into nourishment, and into
blood, then the food is an injury inr

P" A WOMAN’S WAY.
tgrr wm ... .
The-following story.is told apro
pos of the recent panic in Wall
street:
An army officer stationed in the
Philippines has been sending home
his salary for his wife to save. She
Bought to add to it by taking a flier
in Wall street. She had invested ev
ery dollar of her husband's savings,
and in the panic of Thursday all
was swept away. She appealed to
Henry Clews, with whose firm she
had dealt.
“If I show you the way to get
your money back, will you promise
me that yon will, not speculate
again?” asked the broker.
“Indeed I will,” tearfully assent
ed the woman.
“Well, here's your money. Now,
keep out of the market.”
Clews said afterward that he had
not invested the money.
A broker in the Waldorf-Astoria
cafe who listened to the story laugh
ed.
“Well, that's one on Clews. That
woman brought the money right
over to my office and asked me to
buy Delaware and Hudson with it. I
did so, and she made $5,400.”—New
York World.
When the Range Is Resting.
In discontinuing the coal range for
the summer some cafe is needed for
its proper preservation. It seems
almost trite to say that the last fire
should he dumped and the ashes and
dust entirely removed, but experi
ence has shown that this caution is
needed. . The ovens should be taken ,
out and the spaces in which they fit
thoroughly cleaned and greased.
Grease the oven also and the range
implements—shaker, shovel, poker,
etc.—together with the iron grates
and such other parts of the range as
are liable to rust. These trifling
precautions will save time and mon
ey when the range is to be put into
commission again and should be ob
served whether the house is to he
closed or not.
