has another phrase for bad form, and a
dame Of the haut monde now enters a
salon carrying spray or branch of
some flowers in season, such as lilac or
mimosa. In this land of extravaganza,
where all the flowers are always in
bloom, she might hold spray Of orchids
or bunch of roses, but the arranged
bouquet, jamais! The idea is to resem-

tie slowly and steadily in uniform phalanx.
But the field of Marathon was so broad as
to call for an extended line, and Miltiades
concentrated heavily on the wings and
weakened the center. The formation of
the ground favored his movements Of
preparation, unobserved by the enemy, IN
til all was ready. Then the trumpet sound
ed, hymns and exhortations were chanted,
and II 600 spearmen rushed down the slope
upon the unsuspecting Asiatics. The rapid
ity of movement was also an innovation,
but the objections usually urged, that sol
diers who go in on the run exhaust their
wind before they get into action, would
not apply to Athenians, who were trained
runners from youth. PUnpey in his time
held to this objection, but Caesar believed
that running excited the soldiers courage
and gave force to their blows.
The Persian army was composed OF many
mongrel hordes, nevertheless it had a sub
stantial force of disciplined men under able
leaders. The rush of the Athenians took
all by surprise, and the irregulars, who
acted as mounted men, did not have time
to get in line. The Greeks were heavily
equipped, bearing spears, helmets, breast
plates, shields, greaves and short swords.
The Persians had no armor and only
wicker shields, with short lances and
cimeters for weapons. The shock of the
first attack broke down the front line of
Persians, but they rallied and set to work
to retrieve, individually and by weight of
numbers, what they had lost in the sur
prise The best Persian troops were in the
center, and they succeeded in not only re-
pulsing the Greek center, but in driving it
back across the plain I'D valley that di.
vided the mountain side. The Greek wings,
however, had been successful, and had
routed everything opposed to them This
was the turning point, and the faith of
Miltiades in the organization of his SOL
diery was justified.
In ninety-nine cases out of hundred
victorious soldiers rush wildly in pursuit
and 90 too far. Such mistake at Mara

Ingenious Contriyances for Small Rooms

1t is often difficult in small rooms to find
accommodation for evening and best
dresses. An ingenious continuance seen
recently consisted of wooden box on cas-
tors, fitting underneath the bed, long
enough to take evening dresses folded al
most at full length. 1t was not quite as
wide as the bed, and it could be drawn out
very easily by means of handle at each
side. Where space is limited, an easel in
one corner, prettily draped, with a mirror
put on the crossbar instead of picture,
and three cornered table placed just be-
low to hold all the toilet neoessaries. form
quite an artistic aud ornamental spot.
The crossbar must be broad and tolerably
firm, and the mirror of good size. The
point of the table fits into the corner. A
pretty CLOTH corresponding with the drap-
cry of the easel, should be thrown over it.
If desired, second shelf could be added to
the table to hold extra things. The pin
cushion could hang at one side. This ar
rangement can be carried out with good
effect in boudoir. Any carpenter could
make the corner table.

HOUSE CLEANING.
Few Useful Suggestions About Polish
ing Furniture, Securing Floors, Etc.

ing Furniture, Securing Floors, Etc.
There are various preparations that can
be bought for polishing furniture, but a
very simple and satisfactory polish is
mixture of linseed oil and vinegar, put in
bottle and shaken before use. Dust the
furniture well, then rub on the mixture
with an old piece of flannel; only do small
area at time, and polish quickly and
briskly with two or three soft rubbers, end
ing up with an old silk handkerchief This
homemade preparation both cleans and
polishes, and does not in time form sort
of cake over the furniture, as do some
patent polishes when frequently used.
Mating, as most housekeepers know,
should never be soaped. Take it up, sweep
with clean cloth wrung out in salt
and water, rubbing it dry with the other
hand as you go ON, or, at any rate, as
quickly as you can, so that 1t may retain
none of the moisture. The same remark
applies to the cleaning of wickerwork.
OilcIoths, 1inoleum and other floor cloths
look well and are said to last better if
waxed and polished after the fashion of
stained floors, but with thinner prepare
ton. If, however. they are scrubbed, a
sou DruSn SDoutQ 10 uScu, d1fd it Is etu I'LL
provement 60 polish occasionally, after
drying, with soft flannel sprinkled with
sweet oil.
In order that floors and tables may be
really whitened by scrubbing, the water
should be neither too hot nor too cold; the
former turns the boards black, and the
latter does not cleanse them. Keep the
brushes for the one purpose only, and in
dry place, rinsing them well after each
time of using. Always scrub the way the
grain goes, and change the water as soon
as it is dirty. This is a very important
point. 1t is mistake, too, to wet the
boards too much. Use soft soap and a
little soda. First wet the boards with a
cloth, and, after the actual scrubbing,
rinse well, and partly dry with cloth
wrung out as tightly as possible; the less
soap and moisture you allow to soak into
the floor the less yellow will the boards
become. For boards that have been neg
lected, or are otherwise in bad condition,
make a mixture of one part of lime, three
of very fine sand, and two of soft soap;
spread this somewhat sparingly with a
clean, firm brush, then rinse and dry as
above.
