Decorating a Bed Room.

Some ladies devote especial attention to
the decorating of their bedrooms. They
work, in crewelS and silks, a large spray Of
flowers on the satin duvet, drape their pier
glass with curtain of plush or pretty
cretonne on one side, with wide ribbon
bow, arrange corresponding drapery over
the toilet mirror by means Of projecting
wooden stakes, and lay night-dress sachet
of large dimensions on the lace-curtained
bed. Black satin Ducts, with two long
stalked arum lilies and leaves, or pale blue
and pink ones, with shaded begonia or
Virginia creeper leaves, or popular; and so
are quilts Of alternate stripes Of chine silk
and satin or plush, and alternate flower
cretonne and white insertion lace. A
houuce of lace always edges all. The
chine silk is split in half its natural width
and the plush or satin also. A night-dress
sachet of the same chine silk is lined with
color, and made in a somewhat novel
way 1t is square, and the four corners
meet, and are tied together with large
bow, of tolerable wide ribbon, after the
night-dress and dr:ssing jacket are folded
and placed within. A cascade of full laco
is sewn all round, SO that the bow appears
to lie on a mass of cream lace; fourteen
inches to seventeen inches space is the
average size. The handkerchief sachct,
and sometimes the brush cover and pin,
cushion match. The drapery over the

falling just belowthe sides OF the top Of
the table. 1t passes over long peg fixed
into the wall at little distance above the )
mirror, then two others, placed some way
off and rather lower, just above the sides
of the mirror. Thus the mirror has can
opy over it. A hanging light sometimes g
hangs from the center peg. Splash boards
for fixing on the wall behind washstands,
are becoming more elaborate and artisticj
they are usually glazed or unglazed cloth,
with painted designs, and measure thirty
five inches long and sixteen inches wide.
Pale blue, gray, or god surfaces are most
popular with perpendicular flowers rising
from the base, and birds or butterflies
above. Colored flowers, ETC., are gummed
on artistically if the designer does not
paint, and then vanished over afterwards.
Cretonne applique can be also used. The
binding is usually braid or galoOn; but q
ruche of ribbon or glazed lining at the top,
and small curtains of muslin drawn back
at the sides, is a great Improvement. Red
Turkey twill applique in the Baden work
on the common straw "splashers" is very
effective, and the same in colored liamaO OF
cretonne on bronze or gilded oatmeal cloth.
recently saw an ordinary bedroom tow
el-hore metamorfosed into work recep-
tacle in most original and ornamental
way. Over one side hung banner Of col
ored cloth, beautifully painted with flowers,
completely concealing it, and giving it the
appearance of fire screen. AT the top
was another painted piece, which partially
fell over, and on lifting up, discovered a
box for odds and ends, cleverly fitted in
between the two top rails. Between this
and the upper single rail was flap, with
two flannel housewives, which folded up
and fastened with button and loop, con-
tanning pins, needles, buttons, tapes, ETC.:
and in the center round, stuffed cushion,
for sticking pins in hastily when working.
Along the rail was string Of reels Of cot
ton, secured at each end; and below the
rail was a pocket, divided in the center,
for holding work or "oddments /" Of all
kinds. This would be most attractive
and Saleable novelty at a bazaar, and not
costly to make. g. '7N HaE.ia'

The third Parlor Concert given at the
residence of Bishop Pierce for the benefit
of Trinity Cathedral, occurred last Thurs
day night with a new and interesting pro-
gramme. Mrs, K. G. Newton, so we'll
known as brilliant pianist, made her
second appearance asa vocalist with great
success as the audience testified. Miss
Parham contributed piano solo ola Tar
autelle with good execution, and for an
encore gave one of Chopin's lovely Noe
turnes. 1t seems superdous to mention
the singing of Miss Pierce which is so
nearly perfect as to delight her hearers.
The audience were much disappointed at
not hearing Mr.. Martin, whose sweet voice
always delights his friends.
During the concert the telephone at the
!, back Of the room conveyed the sweet har-
:. monies to many musical devotees in Hot
Springs.

Kentucky Whiskey Did 1t.

Two of the handsomest and brightest
young men that have grown up in the
capital city of Kentucky since the war
we're Thomas Criltenden, grand son of
the great and good John ]. Crittenden,
and James Arnold, son of Rev. Isaac
Arnold. With physiques 1.-THE and sinewy
as the thoroughbred horse of that blue.
grass region, with the heritage Of hon:
ored names and wealth that was lavished
upon their schooling, these two young
men and bosom friends might have
climbed to any position of honor among
people who love to bestow honors
upon robust men of courage and culture.
But Tom Cruenrlen and Jim Arnold
early took to drink, in a town that
boasts the manufacture of the finest
whiskey in the world, and introduced
the breezy afluence of frontier dash into
the proper society of staid old village.
In a word, they painted the town a.
sunset-red, and finally made it too hot to
hold them. Arnold drifed West and
became the prince Of the cowboys. Crit
tenden went 10 Louisville and took lead
ership among his bar room broilers.
Arnold, while driving cattle on one Of
the Western trails, in company with
degenerate son of Lord Paggett, was
shot and killed by negro. Cri,tenden
killed negro for testiIying against him
at misdemeanor trial before country
magistrate, and has just been sentenced
to confinement in The Kentucky Peni.
tentiary for eight years. Both leave
behind them honorable fathers and low
in, but heart. broken mothers. Arnold
left tenderer tie than that Of father or
mother and not less tenacious. Whis.
key wrecked all these lves.-C Cincinnati
