the graceful trife in her corsage when not in
service. It is OF deep yellow gold, heavily
chased and elaboratelv rococo, and the
handle is provided with link into which

ornament Or bust of Goethe, Schiller OF
Dante on corner bracket in the
library, with bit of crimson drapery to
bring it out, satisfies as well in plaster of
paris as in marble, while it lasts. A sug-
gestion is to paint the figures in orange
shellac to give them the rich tinge of old

Mothers getting their young sons ready
for any camping or boating expedition will
do well to see that pajamas replace the or
dinarv night shirt in their wardrobes Camp
beds rarely offer good tucking-in facilities,
and restless sleepers, as boys usually are,
do not improve matters. In this comforta-
BILE outfit, however, the risk of cold is done
away with, no matter what the vicissitudes
of blankets. Only few shops in the largest
cities keep bows pajamas, but they are
easily and cheapiy made at home, particu-

corsages were trimmed with rufled chiffon
embroidered in pink rosebuds; large white

huds and long ribbon ends Finishing the
handles
The maid of honor was in white chiffon,
white leghorn hat with pink plumes and
carried garland of rosebuds tied with pink
ribbons The stately bride herself in satin
and duchesse carried white orchids and
orange blossoms

old-tashioned house with the wood floors
that are going now from even the simplest
houses built, but it is covered entirely with
oilcloth that is readily and easily cleansed
1t makes me ashamed Of my sex when
think OF the former notion among house,
keepers that eternal scrubblng Of the kitchen
floors was the sine qua non of tidy maid.
And I, like others, ave often asked wo-
man at the end OF days washing to scrub
a floor before she left. 1t seems monstrous
when 1 think OF it. If floor is painted,
on the soft wood usually put in kitchen.
My tables are covered with tin, and if one
can't afford that expense which is not great
at all, at least use enamel cloth. The kitchen
