a prominent fault to be found with
New York drawing rooms is the too
great p~rofusion of furniture and brio
a brac crowded into them. 1t trips you
on the floors, drops down at you from
the chandelier and c~ornices, makes it
dangerous to stretch your legs or move
your elbows when you sit, and rem
ders it impossible to find a bit of un-
occupied wall big enough to lean
against. 1t is a great pleasure, of
course, to have lots of pretty things,
but they need not all be on exhibition
at once. One fashionable woman in
this city, who can afford to buy al
most anything that strikes her fancy,
has a store room in her house filled
with bric-a-brac and furniture. Every
week a dozen or so of these precious
treasures are brought out and ar
ranged about the rooms, and as many
others rs have been on duty for a
time are packed away again. Thus
her parlor has always a certain express
sion about it, so to speak, widely diff
ferent from the look of a bazar, high
ly fashionable, but exceedingly I'M
restful, that a too well filed room has.

of the director who approached her with
insults. The monstrous revenge of the
director in having her publicly fogged fol-

Plumb also offered an amendment to
attach the Cherokee outlet to Oklahoma
Tor judicial purposes. This was rejected
after some debate, in which the discus
sion OF several days ago as to the reported
threats of the commissioners negotiating
with the Cherokees was gone over again.
West offered an amendment prohibit

siderable debate Vest modified this by
limiting the prohibition to bonds 10 and
