The Latest Things In Decorative Work

IRON the ART 1ntercnanRe.I
sCRApED PLAQUES
A new device for decorating, or rather util.
izing the pressed wooden plaques now adapt
ed to 90 many purposes, has been introduced
OF late. Making the natural grain OF the
wood serve for the lights and shades, a very
fair landscape or marine view can be made BY
scrapinG the wood away In places, SO that
parency Is obtained. The usual practice Is to
draw horizon line through the centre OF the
plate, and then to scrape the back Of the plate
above the line, leaving the part below I'm.
touched. "A deep puncture made here and
there answers for moon and headland lights
well initiated, II to heighten the effect 8 sal

the line OF the horizon.
SCREENS.
A three-fOld screen, lately exhibited In Lon
don, is described as follows: The panels Of
the screen are OF embossed red velvet IN 9
large and important Gothic pattern, which
being used. The design Of the velvet was In
alternate stripes of plain and embossed, civ.
ing good and quiet effect OF richness, with
out show. The Innings Of the panels were Of
9 new material in cotton and silk, called
Daisy Damask," in the same color as the
embossed velvet.
DINNER CARDS.

silk as q mat upon which the card is served.
Inc sllk, which should be heavy gros grain OF
srlght color, Is embroidered In filOselle In
one corner, with flower, or any simple de-
sign, and Q card beveled and Rilded on the
edges IS laid diagonal.y across. The card
should be very narrow, or just wide enough
to admit OF the writing OF the name If made
too Large, the whole seems awkward. The
silk Is usually fringed out for half an inch CT
more.
GERMAN FAyORs,
Another way Of using wooden plauues is as
favor for the German or for tying IN a
hand bouquet. Two plaques are Joined hack
to back with ribbons, and the space between
them filled In with flowers. Long ribbons
attach the bouquet, so made, to the waist Of
the holder. or il can be carried over the arm.
The plaques are decorated with designs al
natural flowers On one side, and Walter
Crane picture On the other.
SCARF PINS.
Old COINS especially the Greek, Roman,
and Byzantine copper coins covered with
verdigris, and corroded by time, are seen
now mounted as scarf pins, the bright cop
contrasting very well with the
gold clamps Of the setting.

on Sunday evening, July 9Th, Mr.. WILLIAM MAY
HEw, of Centralia Nemaha County, Kansas, to Mrs.
NANCY f. BELL, of this vicinity.

advertise for wife Last Spring, Mr.. May hew ad-
vertised in the Chief, that he wanted wife Of GER
tain age and specifications. He received many re-
sponses. Some were from young girls, who wrote
to have little fun; others were from women who
in earnest; while still others were from con-
demned stock, who wished to palm Themselves off on
an honest man. But Mr.. Mayhem was no fool. He
was man who knew just what he wanted. and kept
himself well posted to all persons who cores
ponded with him. When he heard of one whom he
thought, from the description, might suit him, he
went to see her. to judge for himself he does in
his stock business. In visit to Troy, to examine
an "option," he heard of a woman who had not an
swered his advertisement, but whom he found to be
the woman he wanted, and he married her without
delay. Mr.. Mayhem is a substantial, respectable
farmer, in good circumstances, engaged extensively
in stock raising. Mrs. Bell is also business woman,
who has long resided stock farm, and has man
aged it herself for the past five six years She Is
perhaps the most suitable woman that Mr.. Mayhem
could have found.
