A Pretty Bedroom m.

A truly ideal bedroom for a young
girl is fitted up as follows: A red
velvet carpet covers the floor. and
small silk prayer rugs are scattered
here and there over the carpet. The
walls are hung with pink sateen, over
which Swiss is shirred. and the
conopy and dressing table drapery
are made up to match. At the
windows are dotted Swiss curtains
edged with Maltese lace. which is put
on full enough to fall in pretty cas-
cades to the bottom. and bands Of
Swiss, also edged with lace. hold the
curtains back at the sides. Pale pink
enamelled wooden poles above Moor
ish grille work to match support
curtains Of white cretonne figured with
trailing vines of wild roses and edged
with pink and white tassel fringe
The deep window shelves and the
mantel are draped with similar Gre
tonne, and the doors are concealed by
cretonne portieres.

Notes.


The oil of white birch bark. which
gives to Russia leather its peculiar
aromatic and lasting qualities. when
dissolved in alcohol, is said to be ex-
cellent for preserving and waterproof
ing various fabrics. 1t renders them
both acid and insect proof, and IN no
way destroys their pliability.
Petticoats for winter use are hand
somer than usual. Very rich stuffs in
plain and figured satin, black. cream.
gray and Indian red brocade, also silk
and wool materials, are utilized.
Black satin or surah skirts lined with
fancy striped hannels, are full In the
back. closely gored on the front and
sides, and trimmed in rows OF rose
pleating in plain ruches, or mixed with
black lace.
Ribbons OF all kinds are in high
favor-wide or narrow, satin. silk or
velvet, the latter being the newest and
most preferred. A favorite way OF
arranging ribbon on waist is in what
is called an X. A ribbon about two or
two and halt inches wide is brought
around the waist to the front. where II
is crossed. brought back again under
the arms, and up to the center OF the
neck, where the two sides meet and
are fastened down by little chou,
being finally brought round to the
front of the neck. where they finish II
in a knot according to taste.

Rare and Precious Cem..

The subject OF rare and precious
gems Is always an interesting one.
And no less interesting is the mention
OF the possessors OF the most valuable
OF the worlds collections. Here is a
list OF people who have large collec-
tions
Among royal ladies OF the present
day Queen Victoria has the most valu-
able diamonds and pearls-that is II
one includes the regalia at the Tower
some OF these treasures being quite
unique. The Empress Eugene was at
one time the possessor OF an exquisite
necklace OF white pearls. which was
afterwrrd sold TO the marquis OF Povir
for $50. 900.
The present Empress OF Russia
owns the largest and most valuable
diamonds OF the older type. and prob
ably the most magnificent diamond
diadem. The Car is great admirer
OF precious stones. and bought, year
or two ago. large number OF dia-
monds and emeralds for the Empress.
OF great rarity are the black pearls
belonging to the Empress OF Austria.
The Countess OF Paris possesses a
famous garniture OF emeralds. which
is a present from her mother, and
which is one Of the finest and most
valuable in existence.
Mrs. Mackay's pearls and diamonds
vie with those Of many Queen; of Mrs.
Mackay's pearls one alone is valued at
about 10000. A magnificent pearl
necklace WHICH belongs to the French
crown jewels and which was bought
by the Partisan jeweler Tiffany for
close upon $40, 0OC. has also passed
into the possession OF an American
lady. The late Russian Prince Gus.
supow possessed precious stones.
many OF which were OF historical in.
teres. valued at 1000, 600 rubles.
The Princess Lobkowitz left at her
death a necklace consisting OF 6.66f

How Victoria Travels.

Many times have seen items in
the American papers which said the
Queen Of England travelled very
plainly; that her private carriage was
no better than any other first-class
English carriage. wish right here
to say these reports are based upon
no authentic evidence, says q writer
iuFrank Leslie's Weekly. An official
ofthe Midland road took mo into the
Queens carriage a. it stood in ST.
Pancras station. and I must say that
it is as fine as any Pullman car ever
built-ard that is saying good deal.
The walls o! the saloon are of satin
wood highly polished. The cushions
are OF white silk embroidered in gold
thread. A garter contain
ing her motto, "Honi soft qui
NAL y pense. surrounds her
initials, V. K. Her large chair-and

easy chairs are ia her compartment.
besides satinwood table about six
feet long and three feet vide upon
which we're piled the latest English,
French, German and American peri
odicals, The carpet is OF velvet and
in good state OF preservation con-
sidering it has been in use over fifteen
years. The curtains at the windows
and portiere are hung on silver poles.
The door handles are solid silver, and
the whole saloon has the
appearance OF solid luxury. Victoria
herself selected the furnishings. which
are said to pattern after the white
drawing room at Windsor Castle. The
whole saloon with fittings cost be-
tween $50, 600 and $50. The car
riage is about half the length Of an
ordinary railroad car. At first sigh,
the carriage impressed me with being
gaudy, but this idea wore away in a
moment.
The railway official informed me
that the Queen paid about sl.90 per
mile for travelling. besides the first
class fares for everyone in her partyr
As the oticia! from whom l received
