"a UiO vi quaint
pottery; a fan; catchy little
thoughts that all go to brighten
up the rooms. From our Up
holstery and Drapery Depart
ment Seattle housewives get a
fund of decorating ideas that
help to brighten up their
homes.
The shelves in the Uphol-
stery Department are heavy
ladened with what is best in
drapings. Say the word and
down will come a generous
shower of hxings for the parlor
windows. Not one sort, nor
two, but dozens of styles in
every kind of wanted curtains
and cords and tassels and
fringes - everything. More
than that-there's the chance
to see how they will look, to
dress the window almost in
reality, with all the light, the
good, honest, truth-telling sum
light to show you just what is
what.
Besides, here's a bright touch
of elegant parlor bric-a-brac-
an odd thing in a chair or
table, a bit of old style gilt fur
niture - to make it all look
more and more like your par
lor. 1t will take you but a
moment to ride up in the ele-
vator to the third floor and see
what a comfortable, cosy home
we have there.
And then after you are
through with the upholsteries
take a glance into the carpet
and rug section. We try to
have most every kind of floor
covering that you could want
come as near having it as
any one on the Coast.
Have the statesmen spread
out few rolls of the different
sorts of carpets. Don't hest
tate because you are "just look
ing" They are always pleased
to have you see what they have
TO show.
After you have gone all
through the departments, noted
the stock, the quantity, the Sc
lection, heard the prices, you
will thoroughly understand why
it is that we do the carpet and
draping business OF Seattle.

To obtain, so to speak. an articulate

that the speech shall be accurately timed
in its delivery. An ingeniiis' calculator
has lately reduced the matter to nm cxadt
statement, bascd GU the assumption that
not more thnn four or five. syllables per
second can be distinctly uttered and
clearly heard. The sound. of cnch, sylln.

behind. Neither one wears bonnet, ~
the Chinese ladies wear bonnets in the
house and take them off when they go
out of doors. The maid has very good
sized feet, as the COMPRISING process is
confined to women of rank. They chat
ter, chatter, all the time, like the Boston
girls gong to symphony concert.
Their dress is precisely like that of tho
men, only they wear skirt instead of
full trousers. They arc inexpressibly
ugly-and suppose the Chinese men after
living in the Occfdent for SO long dis
cover how ugly the Chiness women are |!
Their skins arc like parchment, and their
fiat faces are quite devoid of expression.
The shrillness of their voices is some
thing dreadful; and ON the whole, any,
thing moro unattractive than these poor
creatures cannot be imagined. Yet they
look happy aud are undoubtedly we'll
treated, as tho higher class OF Chinese
