Take sheet of stiff white paper, such
as can be bought at any stationer's for
three cents. Cut off enough for a hair.
receiver of any size wished. Fold it in
the proper shape and fasten neatly with
mucilage. Over the joining, place a
bow of brlght-colored ribbon, in such a
manner as to entirely conceal it. Satin
ribbon of the proper width may be oh.
tanned for from eight to fifteen cents a
yard. Pass half yard of narrow rib
bon through small hole at the top OF
the hair-receiver, and hang it at the
side of the looking-glass. In doing SO,
dispose the ribbon in such manner as
to make a pretty bow and ends. The
ribbon should be of color to harmonic
with the tints of the wallpaper. If you
have any of the pretty and natural
looking paper flowers now so much in
vogue, bunch of them arranged over
the joining of the hair-receiver might
take the place of the ribbon bow. A sheet
of the paper mentioned will make four
hair-receivers, so that they can be re-
newed when soiled, and the same ribbon
will keep fresh for all four. The mar
row ribbon may be bought for eight
cents yard. Thus four hair-recelvers
may be obtained at an expense of from
eleven to fifteen cents. If the walls of
the room be white, cover the ha IRE
ceiver with tissue paper of any color
that may be desired. This can be
bought at the stationer for from one
to three cents sheet. The ribbon, of
course, should accord with the color of
the tissue paper. The making of one
of the hair-rcc 'ivors occupies only a
few minutes. al when fin she'd it is
more effective than any one would
imagine. 1t brightensup aroom other
wise destitute Of ornament, charmingly,
as we can testify from experience.
An ornamental but simple splasher
can be made by covering piece Of the
white paper with tissue OF any desirable
color. II you are willing to bestow a
little more time and trouble on it, a
very pretty effect may be produced by
laying the tissue paper in small pleats
and fastening lightly at either end with
needle and thread.
Little earthen jars, like those in
which extract of meat is sold, may,
when emptied of their contents, be
made at the same time useful and orna-
mental by covering them with glazed
paper of any color desired, and then
cutting very small pictures or separate
figures out of illustrated papers and
FASTING them on. The glazed paper can
be bought for five cents sheet. The
jars will be useful to hold tapers, burnt
matches, etc. In summer they are very
nice for little bouquets.
Small tin cases may be ornamented
and used in the same manner.
The glazed paper is very nice as a
covering for shelves and the inside OF
boxes. If the outside of s. small box
be unsightly the paper may be pasted
over it with very good effect, and lit
tie prints added, if desired, as in the
case of the jars. Christian at Work.

A Few Specimens Discovered by WASH

About twenty-five years ago, when
one of the diplomats came to this coun-
try he brought man cook with him.,
and this cook, by the buying of land in
Northwest Washington, got a very COM
Portable competency. He had daugh-
ter, and one of the corner butchers OF
Washington falling in love with the
girl, married her. After marriage the
butchers shop was carried on for some
time, when the city suddenly took q
jump in the direction of the cook
property. The butchers wife became
wealthy, the butchers shop was closed,
and the two men began to live life OF
elegant leisure They bought a fine
house, and the next thing was to get
into Washington society. They sue.

paying $4,000 to a society queen, pro-
vided she would INTRODUCES her into so.
ciety. The agreement was made, the
money passed. Her card was put upon
the army officers wife's visiting list,
and within year or two the daughter
of the cook and the wife OF the
ex-butcher was one of the leading
ladies of Washington. A few years
went by, and her position now thor
oughly established, she began to try to
dictate as to who should come into the
society in which she moved. Speaking Of
a poor but blue-blooded family who had
just come to Washington, she said one
day to Mrs. Admiral Blank, who by the
way is very elegant and well-bred
lady, and who has spent lifetime in
society here: II don't know about these
people. Society is growing so COM
mon. We must draw the line some
where"
"But whereof returned the lady Adj
miral with smile of sarcasm; ''w'here,
madame, shall we draw the linee At
the sirloin or tenderloin?" The reply
of the ex-butcher's wife is not men,
toned.
Another story is told of wealthy
lady who called upon one of the most
noted dressmakers of New York. who
was here ut the Arlington Hotel this
winter and whose dressmaking has as
much of a reputation in this country as
Worth has in Paris. After being meas
ured for dress the lady said: Now.
madame, l want you to make dresses
for me, but l don't want any one to
know that get my dresses from you.
/ usually send across the water for my
clothes and Worth makes them. If you
will make my dresses on this condition
will be glad to give you my custom"
The dressmaker replied that she did not
care for her custom in any such way.
Her dresses were well enough made to
pass muster without the badge Of
Worth's name being tackled to them, and
if the lady was ashamed of having her
clothes made by New York dress
maker she did not want the CUSTOM

DDS BY which defeated candidates
cxpla,n to a curious public the
cause of their defeat.
Mr.. Cassidy heads the list with a
most PLAUSIBLE theory. His idea

could have swept the Senatorial
deck. 1t is clear that Mr.. Cassidy $

Mr.. Powning takes different
view. He also assumes, as does
Mr.. Cassidy, that had certain things
happened he would have surely
won. Had Stewart died or gone to
England to live, or run Tor some
other State, Powning would have
had a walk-over. The idea is 50
firmly fixed in Mr.. Pownings mind
that some times he deliberately
thinks of suing Mr.. Stewart for

salary. Mr.. Powning firmly be-
lieves that the State Legislature
ought to pass a relief bill appro-
p,iating $50 300 to him for making
the great sacrifices he has made
and then losing the election.
He figures that if it took the
Surveyor Generals Office to cure
his political bellyache after losing
the Congressional fight, something
still handsomer ought to be done
for lis losses on the Senatorial
campaign.
