Bits of Decoration.

Helen Herbert in The household
This has been called an age of over -decora-
ton; and judging from some Of the rooms
we are called on to look at and admire
rooms crowded from wall to wall, and from
floor to ceiling with brackets, banners,
lambrecYins, cst-tails, Japanese fans, pea
cock feathers amateur plaques, cheap
chromos and the vast assembly Of objects
which exist under ths generic name ot
bric-a-bI ac-an fearfully and wonder.
fully arranged, and fondly supposed
by the proprietor to b In the
highest degree artistic, but alasl TOO
often only vulgar and tawdry In effect-ths
phrase does not seem altogether misapplied
or uncalled for Yet, because some, lacking
the true artistic sense, and blindly following
q fashion they do not understand, overdo the
matter, and create o decoration which does
not decorate, it does not follow that we
should abstain from decoration altogether.
One thing should be especially remembered
ia all attempts at decoration: Every article
in a room should nave some definite purpose
to serve. Almost every article, no matter
how ornamental in itself, should also be use
full. With the exception Of pictures, very
few articles should be put into q room OBJ
yiously for ornament alone They should al
least seem to have a usa
If japanese fans are arranged on the wall
to give touch OF color, it would be better
to have them so held that one or more could
easily be removed and offered to friends
who might chance TO come in on q warm
day. 1t is tantalizing to 60 into room
whose walls are gay with fans, and know
that not one can be had for use. 1t Is like
"water, water, all around, and not a drop to
drink" In any case, think it a very good
idea to have the wall fans look, al
least, as if they might be used The
pretty. bright cluster will then take on q
second, and perhaps still more important
meaning.

Ice Ornaments.

Apropos of table decorations, there is moth
ing prettier or moro easily obtained at this
season than ice ornaments. Among our
caterers there are some professional ice
architects who construct miniature palaces

most beautiful tints and combined with the
happiest effect. A superb palace Of violet

and decorative designs, can bs frozen In
simple molds by any amateur.

Washing Dishes.

Dish washing is supposed to make the
hands rough and red; but it will have very
opposite effect if the following directions are
observed: Never put the hands in water hot
enough TO be uncomfortable; never scrape
any dish with the finger nails, and wash your
hands thoroughly every time with warm
water and some mild soap, or Indian meal,
which is better; wipe and rub in a drop of
glycerine and little camphor ice. Dry
them carefully, but not by the fire, before
going into the air, and your hands will be
white and smooth If they are not it will be
owing to something beside washing dishes

Control OF the Servants.

The wife should control the servants Or,
where a housekeeper is employed, she, under
the supervision of the wife. should exercise
authority. And only the one should give
commands. or direct service. This secures
uniformity. And the person thus exercising
authority should not cultivate familiarity,
such as will lead to contempt. Servants ap-
p-eciate far better those who recognize the
difference Of position than those who do not
And familiarity always weakens authority,
except in the rare cases where a conscientious
sense of duty governs. But this does not
call for a lofty, arrogant air, which con-
stantly impresses those in service with sense
of inferiority. An equable temper, just
spirit, AMI proper dignity govern without
difficulty and secure the best services from
employees Fussiness is no evidence Of au-

1t Is the custom at marriages in Lithunia
for the brides mother to publicly box her

The Habit of Haste.

The London Lancet speaks a proper
word on 1.-The habit of haste" 1t is
truly habit we have fallen into in our
large cities to fill every office and per-
form every service with the nervous

wealthy merchants of an earlier genera
ton and our successful pastors of long
ago accomplished the same work that
we do, but with some degree of calm
ness and deliberation. Daniel Lewis,

New York Worid.l
Tread a letter from young lady the other
day. who was explaining to a friend why
she had declined q certain supposedly good
offer of marriage. She said the man had a
fine position in society, had q comfortable
income and was fine-looking Why not
marry himi Well, in the first place, he was
thirty years older than she was; in the
second place, he was a widower with three
children, and in the third place, she did not
love him On the other hand, her father Is
poor and cannot support her as she would
like to be and as she ought to be. 1t was
natural that he thought his pretty daughter
ought to have accepted the well-to-do, good
looking but mature widower. Fathers nearly
always take that view of the subject
1t is q notorious fact that the romance Of
life gets out Of man when he Is old enough
to have a marriag cable daughter. A good
offer of marriage means to him the kind of
one spoken Of above-one where the suitor
has position, . good income, and is therefore
well settled in life How did this girl I'm
talking about reason on the subjecti She
said she would rather wait little while I"
That is exactly what she said She meant q
good deal more. She meant she did not care
to thow her life away. Is the whole object
of life to live for somebody elsel Is it the
ole mission of women to make q man happy
and bear children for himi Have they not
. right to do something for themselvesl Is
it the whole duty of a girl to jump at the
first good offer of marriagei Is there nothing
to be spared from the debasement Of trade,

There never was a girl Of 20 who could be
much in love with a man Of 50. And then,
what prospect for the futurel A man Of
50 certainly cannot look forward with reason
10 more than ten years of active life. In
this country a man is considered old at 60.
The people here live SO fast they wear out
about that time. A girl Of 20, say, marries
q man of 50. In ten years she is 80, or just
at the prime of her life, and her husband is
going into his second childhood There are
a few women in the world who would about
as soon have one man as another for q hus-
band and don't care anything for any. They
are the strictly commercial kind-the kind
that sell themselves for price The price
may be a fine house, servants, gorgeous
dress, carriages, horses and society, but,
thank heaven, they are the exception to the
rule.
But the surprising and unaccountable
feature Of these marriages, nl-assorted as to
age, is that a man who has reached the age
of 50 seldom stops to ask whether the young
girl he wants to marry loves him He has
got past the love-making era and has ceased
TO regard it as q factor in marriage. This

Children and Cold Weather.


We must vigorously protest against the
custom, dear to the hearts of mothers in
Israel" of giving each member Of the family
a Saturday night scrubbing with hot water
and soap Many colds date significantly
from this event The daily sponge bath in
sures all necessary cleanliness. The system
relaxed by the use Of a hot bath becomes
abnormally sensitive to a chill.
A daily walk, briskly taken, does much to
accustom the body to prompt reaction from
cold. All weather can be faced, with suita-
bic preparation in the way Of clothing.
Sitting in an over-hsated room preludss a
cold almost as surely as taking a hot bath.
Sixty-eight degrees Fahrenheit is the highest
safe temperature for any but elderly people
and invalils.
Children should have the face, neck, arms
and chest smartly slapped with towel vet
in cold water, and then briskly rubbed with
a tolerably coarse crash towel till the sur
face is warm and rosy. With daily repeti-
ton of this they need have little fear OF
colds or the much-ireaded Group. They
can enjoy any amount of outdoor play with
safety if properly clothed.
When one is conscious of chilly sensa-
tions, a drop or two of spirits of camphor
taken on lump Of sugar will sometimes
stimulate nature to the reaction, of which
unaided she Is not capable. This should be
repeated half-houriy four or five times.
