Cleaning nardwood Floors.
A housekeeper who has experi
enced considerable difficulty in keep
ing a hardwood floor in good condi
tion believes that she has solved the
problem by a method which is claim
ed to be much superior to that of
rubbing with oil, as it leaves no dis
agreeable sticky feeling. The floor
is first swept with a soft brush, then
carefully wiped with a slightly damp
cloth. Afterward the entire surface
is gone over with a mixture consist
ing of half a cup of the best furni
ture polish dissolved in a' quart of
moderately hot water. When dry
the boards are said to acquire a fine
polish as the result of this process.
Silver ar.d Copper Combined.
The combination of silver and
burnished copper now so fashionable
is artistically introduced in a tall
slim vase of green, glass, the flaring
mouth and bottom of which are of
the copper, the stem of dull silver.
The silver is in the shape of lilies,
between whose long stems the green
glass is seen.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Many Coursed Dinners a Mistake That
Is Being Corrected.
Only as a matter of chastening dis
cipline can the three or four hours’
dinner find apology or defense. Its
every other aspect is that of a gas
tronomic mistake. Profusion has
long stood in the minds of the un
knowing r or inexperienced for hos
pitality or for luxury, while in real
ity it simply means confusion, a
multitude of courses not leading the
palate on in artful sequence to a sat
isfying climax, but to weariness un
speakable.
It must be quite three years since
the Prince of Wales, now King Ed
ward VII., intimated, with much
definiteness, that if any dinner
which he honored lasted longer than
one hour royal displeasure would be
incurred, a “hint” which, of course,
carried the weight of a parliamen
tary statute.
American society raised'its eye
brows and “considered the matter,”
but in a manner so leisurely that
only the past season did it arrive at
the definite conclusion that dinners
to be really comme il faut or pleas
urable must be short, the extreme
limit not to exceed an hour and a
half. This is mending matters
much, as much probably as “con
ventional art” in dining will ever
attain. For after all it is but the
few, not the many, who have learned
^r are capable of learning dining as
an art, a palate being the inherit
ance of generations.—Good House
keeping.
New Window Draperies.
The question of window and arch
way draperies is a particularly live
one to the present day householder.
We are entering upon what an Eng
lish writer terms “a renaissance of
interior decoration,” and the flood
tide of French and Italian designs
that marks all new fabrics quite sus
tains his conclusion, says Harper’s
Bazar. There is no phase of this
study in which the impulse of in
vention is felt more strongly than
in that which deals with new dra
peries and their counterfeits, wall
papers. The richest of today’s nov
elties in furniture coverings and
draperies are all in combinations
that imitate the subdued tones of
the last sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. Moire damask in palest
tan or the green of the mignonette,
over which are impressionistic cream
or pink flowers and designs in leaf
and scroll that unite the pale shades
of green, blue, rose and brownish
tans, is conspicuous. In all the new
brocades and damasks, whether cost
ly or of medium grade, and again re
peated in lace embroideries, wall
papers and the more beautiful ere
tonnes, the tendency is toward the
exquisitely detailed conventional
garland and basket and lover’s knot
designs which characterized French
decorations of every class for a hun
dred or more years preceding Na
poleon. At the same time there is
to be seen in draperies of high tex
ture and on embroidered net cut
tains a revival of Venetian and
Florentine ornament.
Table Glass.
Simple white glass in graceful
shapes is at all times most satisfac
tory for table use. From time to
time one may be attracted by iri
descent novelties and delicately tint
ed shapes, but one is sure to turn
again to the ejear crystal. Those
who have inherited the old heavy
cut glass from colonial grandmoth
ers are fortunate indeed, but for
those who have not a very desirable
imitation of it it is procurable at
many of the best glass and china
shops. Then there is the “feather"
glass, one of the most beautiful of
the uncolored glass. The shapes are
blown with thoughtful carelessness,
so that there is a slight and delight
ful irregularity in form and edge
which, combined with the suggested
“feather” in the body of the glass,
gives a most artistic result.—New
York .Tribune.
