Valuable Andirons.

Brass ahdirons, big and little, may be
bought in the antique shops at from
$3.50 to $40 a pair The most highly
priced irons are called Chippendales.
The characteristic of the Chippendale is
shaft in three parts, that nearest the
feet being hexagonal, the next large and
egg shaped and the top repeating the
same egg form in about one-third the
diameter.
Another favorite form is scharacterized
by q small vase, like Colonial sugar
bowl, at the top; a long, slender shaft,
with Corinthian capital, on which the
vase rests, and base that often has
three feet. Some of these have the rear
horizontal bar crooked, 50 that short
leg may be held without bringing the
vertical shafts too close together. Just
at the bend usually rises a second and
smaller shaft of brass.-New York Sun

PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

is one Of the essentials, and more regard
should be had to getting the building in
the best position for warmth and light
than to getting it into uniformity with
other buildings or the street.
It has been the aim to impress upon this
house n greater air of soldity and per
manence than is usually reflected in our
frame buildings. This has been obtained
greatly 10y the use Of shingles for the out
side walls.
The schoolrooms are planned to seat forty
pupils each, using double seats. Separate
side entrances are furnished for boys and
girls, leading from common cloakroom
respectively to the boys and girls yards
While these are not absolutely necessary
and the building would not be incomplete
without them, important and useful fea-
lures are gained; direct communication
with each yard Is obtained, and il these are
properly fenced there is no commingling Of
sexes as there would be IL common en-
trance were used.
The schoolrooms are intended to be
wainscoted to height Of ~ feet with vel.

space is provided on the dead wall dividing
the two rooms, and here the wainscoting
should not extend above 2 #. s in. from
the floor, and should have chalk tray in.
stead of cap molding us above. The heat
ing is accomplished by n room heater
placed in an alcove Off the cloakroom.
Around this is an s-inch brick wall, in
which are set registers for each school
room. The fuel room opens off the left OF
the cloakroom. Ventilation is secured by
vent chambers each side Of smoke flue in
the chimney.
The interior finish is of yellow pine
with hard oil finish. The floors are laid
with l-inch plank, then covered with

The new engagement ring that the lover
gives his lady has two large stones, dia-
mond and sapphire or diamond and ruby
or pearls, forming the eXtremities of an
open ring, the ends overlapping to bring
one stone above another. The ring most
fancied as n gift from the girl to her be
trothed is chain of platinum and gold,
with a true lovers knot on top. 1t is not
a stiff one, but the links must fall softly
together when he takes it off, in token OF
the fact that her chains are light ones.

Parasols That Delight womnnkind.

Parasols are particularly elegant this
year. They are made of every conceivable
color and material, some of white moire
silk, striped with narrow lines of color, be-
ing particularly effective, but absolutely
simple. Other parasols are of lace, striped
with broad ribbon, and edged with frill of
lace through which are run narrow baby"
ribbons. But the newest are of shot satin
trimmed with frills of shot chiffon, with an
appliqued edge of black lace. In these
there are the most delightful combinations
of color. One of gray chiffon is shot with
pale yellow and trimmed with white lace
another of n cardinal hue is shot with reseda
and trimmed with black lace, while pale
pink and pale yellow raises hopes of garden
parties and recalls recollections of straw
berries and cream.

Singing to her smiling:
"Thou art mine till time shall pass'-
All her day beguling.
Laughing low replies the lass,
While he fingers, singing:
"Thinc am while time doth PASS
Time is swift a-winging."
Eagerly he plies the lass

Swift as speech the moments pass
Comes his swift uudoing.
Never lover claims his lass
But she leaves him yrarning;
Never, until time shall pass,

her accession she has made great progress
in her studies, and is already able to speak
both French and English nuently. Strange

changed into a queen, and 50 be unable to
have any little playmates or companions.
