queen. We have changed that all nova
days. In the first place, your bed must be
OF brass Tor health, then it must be properly
draped with whatever you can afford, tlEl
most inexpensive costing the most. There's
Dull Tor you. The reason for this rs that
Mademoiselle Innocence must have her
bed draped with white muslifr, which
does not cost much by the yard. but
as 1t does cost great deal 70 rake up
the draperles, and as they havoc be keps
IS immaculate as lilies, in thaShd skhSS-Are
more expensive than heavy brocades. Cos
sip tells that Mrs. William Il. Vanderbilt's
bed looks like a huge hearse; it stands in
the center of the room on raised platform,
and you walk up two steps to get into it.
When it was first brought over from the
other side it was lined with an enormous
plate-glass mirror; undoubtedly the pur-
chaser h1d not been told that French ladies
aid net use this style of bed, but it was
soon discovered, and a rose-colored satin
took its place. Gossip says the room itself
IS bare and cold looking, and all that it sug-
gests is the opinion given of Raphael's
Madonna" by Carlyle's maid-'It's ex-
pens1ve.''
MRS. vANDERBmT's DREAMY COUCH.
Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt's bed is said to
be dainty dream, having draperies of lace
and faint, rosy stufs ABOUT it. until it looks
like great pink rose, inviting one to slum-

to-day the best-liked Of any member of the
Vanderbilt family.
LILLIAN RUssELLis DowNT COUGH
Lillian Russell puts her golden bad on
pillows draped on each side by sale blue
draperies, the room itself beingSin blue and
white, with here and there hint OF light
pink, so that the picture of the pretty
woman as .F'rou-Frou, in the costume worn
by her in the Grand Duchess is sug-
gested by it.
MRS. LASGTRT's CuIPPESDALE BED.
Lille Langtry's bed is Chippendale
one. The draperies are dove-colored bro
cade, and the upper curtains are of boiling
cloth. those at the top being embroidered in
peoples, and those at the foot in morning
glories. Her dressing table is draped with
boiling cloth, embroidered in many-hued
flowers, and the curtains on each side of
the mirror have, after the French fashion,
a trailing vine of artificial lilies, so that
when the beauty looks into the mirror she
secs one Lilly framed by many more.
WHEN SLOWLY GO THOSE HOURS.
There cannot be too many fancy cushions
in ones bedroom, nor too many fur rugs.
Many women who tire of the silk and lace
bedcovers use large fur rugs in its place.
These, of course, are only suitable, how
aver, for winter. Somebody has said: II
wonder if they sleep any better for the beds
being so fine and the cushions so soft But
tell you this. my friend: One may have
the softest bed in the world, and vet the
'ose leaf hidden in it may reach the flesh
md annoy the soul It is just as hard to
itay awake all night if your bed is draped
With brocade as it is if you are on ansold
wooden bedstead, with small head
)oard and none at the foot. Whercve wed
