CALIFORNIA LETTER.
SAN JOSH, Cal, Oct. II, 1889

SAN JOSE, Cal, Oct IL, 1891.
FRIEND CHAMBERs-Iuka, Miss. ;
Please put me down on your dead
head" list for The REPORTER. / wish
to keep posted about old Tishomingo
county-ths land flowing with pure
sweet spring water; where the good
old sweet 'tater, 'possum and sim
mons flourish, and whore yellow
legged chickens are Injuries that men
OF moderate capital can invest in at
least twice a year; where the poor can
breathe air that is free; where real
estate men tell the truth; and where
it's not violation of some royal ma
bob to shoot wood-pecker.
People say l am fool to think OF
returning east-that l will be back
inside year-it's my private opinion
that man that is fool enough to go
to California from the Sunny South, is
fool enough to do anything.
Horace Greeley had few sections of
land out west when no advised young
men to go west. My advice to all my
friends of the South is to stay where
you are, do the best you can, build up
your country, thank God you are
alive and have plenty of good water
to drink and hoe cake three times a
day-a thing money won't buy out
here, no meal to make it with; send
me peck. If you must move at all.
go South, where Ed Hess is going. It's
a pretty big walk, but before | would
lrrigate land to raise crop-or keep
from chokiug-I would take nv little
grip, and, like the poor fellow in the
good Book, | would strike out ho,he on
loot; so, II you see poor, lean, lank,
sunburnt chap approaching your quiet
little village put on your field glasses,
for it may be /. what few remaining
years l have | trust to spend in Tisho-
mingo, and if | can do any good to
help build up our neglected and under
estimated new South / am more than
willing to do all in my power.
Hoping that your paper has 10, 900
new Subscribers and old Tishomingo
County as many permanent new settlers
since | left, | will ask your pardon for
80 long letter. Very truly yours,
G. Ed. HESS.

Decoration Of the Walls and the Ar

THE LATEST THING IN FRIEzE
Masks Find Q Plaos Among the Little
Things About the House.
VALUE OF SKILL In ARRANGEMENT

From the Upholsteref.l
The subject of frieze decoration for room
is no longer slurred by running strip of
gaudy border around. It has attained char
acter. We saw recently very good frieze
in this form. The entire walls were covered
with soft blush tint with detached butter
cup figures in natural size and natural yell
low. A two-foot deep, plain soft blue paper
was run around asa frieze and separated
from the wall treatment by atwo-inch rail-
ing or shelf In gold, upon which different
sized plates or plaques of the buttercup color
rested. tip-tilted against the wall, and show
ing here and there around the room ct - dis
tance OF about foot or foot and half
apart. These yellow bits standing out from
the blue background formed the friese
design.
The same Idea can be done for any other
room. Take parlor for instance, and treat
the walls in one shade. bringing out bits Of
pottery all of one coloring, sharply outlined
against frieze background. The idea was
adapted with excellent effect by chronic
smoker in the following way: His
walls he made of an old brick red,
washed out very weak till the mere sug-

lightly oiled so much the better for the wood

DON'T put furnishings with big designs
in a small room; it will make the room
look the smaller. Keep in the rule of pro-
portion. It's like little woman with q
skinny face wearing big football OF hat,
which only sccentuates her sharp features
the more.
DON'T be vague In your furnishings and
get this and that and the other thing be-
cause each by itself is pretty, but take the

and live up to it; then take one color a.

with it.

twe yards and half wide; it is made
with the usual four breadths. hemmed at
the front, fitted to the figure with darts at
the top, finished there with a netting cord,
and hooked at the back The outside skirt
is three yards wide, or, if the wearer is fool
ish enough to want 1t to trail little it is
wider. But the majority of those dimity
gowns are made to swing close to the
ground in walking. This outside skirt has
q wide band of embroidery inserted between
two groups of these small tucks above a
wide hem. The frcnt and side breadths are
sloped much narrower at the top, and are
gathered scsntily, while the straight back
breadth is pleated into a very small space;
this skirt is attached to an inch-wide
belt of doubled dimity. in which
are five button holes, one at each end, to
meet the four buttons on the bodice.
To complete this simple and dainty dress
is a thickly ribbed silk belt ribbon two
inches wide, the color of the figure in the
dimity, fastened by silver buckle. Six
teen yards of the material are required for
this gown, the make ofwhich is as quaint as
the stuff itself. The polka dot symphony
illustrated herewith is made of blue polka
dot bengaline and white embroidered surah.
The foundation skirt at the right side is
covered with a panel of the embr odery. The
long square drapery is finished at the edge
with an embroidered founce, and orna.
mented at the left side with five rosettes.
The back of the slightly pointed bodice is
finished in the same way, Plain sleeves of
bengaline finished at the TOP with q cap of
embroidery.

simply because they have been found in

the material selected is white, are then run
lougitudinally on the skirt. On the ribbon
are fastened sprays of flowers, until the
whole skirt resembles flower garden.
Heather is favorite flower for these dresses,
vet roses, violets, pansies, arbutus and
anemones all have their share in favorit-
ism. The rows Of ribbon are about iour
inches apart so as to leave the foundation
of the skirt visible, and the sprays Of flow
ers do not quite overlap.
The newest fans In the fancy stores are re-
productions of those carried by the fair

buns, These fans are mounted on gilded
sticks of fragrant wood, and printed with
gay landscapes Of castles, orange trees and
dancing figures. There are also fans painted
rounded by brilliantly dressed cavaliers and
ladies. Some of the prettiest of new fans
are perforated to render them lighter and

had an ornamental collar bordered with

with let eabauchons. 1t was rather a ma

made of pale tan-colored ribbed cloth, with

face. It is not the room which should be on

TAKING A SILHOUETTE

simpls Pictures That Are likely b Bs-
come Fashionable Soon.
There seems some likelihood that silheuet-
ting will be again taken mp a. an amuss-
ment for amateur artists. Black profile por-
traits of celebrities whoelived in the second
half of the last century, when this mode of
portrsiture was in vogue, are now eagerly
collected and high prices paid for them.
The name silhouette was derived from
Etienne de Silhouette, q French Minister
of Finance. in 1859, who introduced sew
eral parsimonious fashions during his
