DEAR HUSBAND COME HOME

Husband, dear husband, come home to
 me now, From Little Rock, cozy and warm; 'Tis lonely without you, why do you
 not come And see to the things on the farmP You told me when you were elected last
 fall,
 If I would but once let you go, You surely would come e'er the winter
 was gone: Of course I believed 1t was so. Husband, dear husband, come home to
 me now, I'm sniffing the odor of spring; You've staid long enough in the capital
 there,
 You're much safer under my wing. The old horse is paving the stable like
 mad;
 The colts in terrible stew; The small brindle heifer has got white
 calf
 And the cattle are tawling for you. Husband, dear husband, come home to
 me now; I'd like to observe what you're at. When will you get through with your
 D1lls and resolves And speeches by this one and that? Your mileage is paid by the longest way
 round, But take The shortest cut when you
 come. Your speeches are fine tweedle- dee, but
 someway They don't hide your tweedle- de- dunn. The voice of your Betsy is calling you,
 dear;
 It's nearly the time to make soap; And some Of the women are saying, my
 love,
 Pm giving you most too much rope. They say there is desperate flirting up
 there,
 With widows and maids not few. haven't been kissed since the morning
 you left, But, James, how Is 1t with you? Come home! Come homel You hear me, you rascal! Come home

Now, editors are but men and women

are honest editors and good business

An upper covering of tapestry Gre
tonne, in some one of the artistic and
CHEEKY shades of blue, tan, old rose or
olive green, on a white ground, with a
trimming of velvet to match about an
inch and a half in width, and held in
place by a close studding of large gilt or
silver headed nails, is the finish for the
whole. When the framework is in
proper and substantial shape it is easy
work for the handy housekeeper who
wishes to add this attractive piece to
her sitting room, hall or bedroom to fit
the upper cover. The stuff should be
drawn tightly and fastened along the
edges with small tacks, which drive in
easily. The velvet ribbon is then added;
the bright heads of the tacks will need a
piece of cardboard held over them in
striking to protect from the bruise of the
blow. The curtain at the back is a
drapery or valance laid in box plaits,
with a pretty fringe along the lower
edge. Covered with velvet or plush,
this is a new and handsome design, and
with a fur rug in front will fill the place
c~reditably wherever it is put.
Instead of the valance at the back
there may be a festooning of silken
drapery to correspond with the zone of
the couch. Upon the face of the cushion,
if the cover material is of one tone, a
handsome monogram embroidered in
silk wrought in outline with gold or silk
cord may be put with good effect. A
small, oblong rest pillow filling the
corner between cushion and couch will
lend itself happily to the proper adjust
ment for ease and luxury.
An ordinary pine table, where the legs
are square, and solid, with the addition
of a lower shelf is in proper shape for a
like covering which will present it a
handsome and substantial rest for lamp
and books. There is no difficulty in the
covering save arequired nicely in fitting
the corners, but this is easy enough if
one thinks a moment or two before using
the scissors.

work of wood SO simple in its construc-
ton that it can be made by any carpen-
