things are set right and to her mind before
she goes Many a woman never knows what
1t is to have anything her own way from

Of preferences drives the nails in any woman's
coffin. Ii she wants particular sanitary ar
rangement about the house, CT q new gar-
den, or some unpleasant inmate provided
for, let her have it if she is worth keeping

mind, let her go where she can wear plain
dress all day, and lie on a lawn cot. which

speaking OF the fact that William K,
Vanderbilt" said a well known club man the
other evening, "has a room in his house
which cost $175,000 to furnish, recalls some.
thing not generally known-that you can
give an order to an agent in New York and
secure some rare old furnishings from the
palaces OF the nobility of Europe. In many
OF the houses OF New York millionaires there
are many rooms with furnishings once owned
by European nobility The same ANTIQUE
furniture. the same tapestried ceilings and
walls, the same wooden ceilings and paneiing
and richly carved mahogany wainscot1ng
seven feet high, and canvas ceilings adorned
with beautiful oil paintings Sometimes a
room is an exact fac-simile of one that a New
