Washington Damaged.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Shortly before
O'Clock this morning fire was discovered
In the press room OF the Euening Star build
ing. The flames quickly found their way
through the upper floors, where the stereo-
typing art department and composing rooms
are iiuated. About sixty printers were at
work on the upper floor, besides a large
number of employees in other parts of the
building. There was hurried rush for the
stairways, but such was the rapid progress
OF the fire that a number we're driven back
by the smoke and humber we're obliged to
make their escape through the windows to
the roofs OF adjoining buildings, and others
by ladders which had been hastily pro-
cured, On the arrival of the fire de-
partment Que printer, the only person
then in the building, was rescued The fire
was confined TO the L on the main building
and the principal damage is from water
The valuable Potter and Hoe presses on the
lower floor are not thought to be seriously
damaged. Paper to the estimated value OF
$4,000, stored on the main floor, is q total
loss. The contents of the composing room
were seriously damaged, as we'll as the
stereoty ping apparatus. Theltotal loss is esti-
mated at S25. 900, which is fairly covered
by insurance. Arrangements were at once
made 20 get out the regular issue OF the

quent issues can be issued from the dam

When a Woman Bann;e.t.

Says Thomas DeQuincey, in work pub
hshed posthumously: Nineteen times out
of twenty | have remarked that the true
paradise of a female life, in ranks not too
elevated for constant intercourse with the
children. is by no means the years of court
ship, nor the earliest period of marriage
but that sequestered chamber OF her expert
ence in which mother is left alone
through the day, with servant perhaps in
a distant part of the house, and chiefly
where there are no servants at all, she is
attended by one sole companion, her little
first born angel as yet clinging to her robe,
imperfectly able to walk, still more inn
perfect in its prattling and innocent
thoughts, clinging to her, haunting her
wherever she goes, as the shadow. catch
ing from her eye the total inspiration OF its
little palpitating heart, and sending to
hers a thrill of secret pleasure as often as
the little fingers fasten on her own.

this one companion, or even with three,

Fires in the Rooms,

Rooms that have no fires in them soon
become so damp that furniture becomes
ruined by mold and decay. Every part of
the room becomes infected by unwholesome
moistures, which have a bad effect upon
everything in it. The Importance of keep
ing fires in sleeping rooms, especially dur
ing damp weather, is great from health
point of view. If the room is slept in daily
it should be aired thoroughly by raising
the window. and if possible fire, or some
other method of heating the air, should be
adopted The simplest is crate fire. This
old fashioned way of heating rooms is,
after all, one of the best and most health
full. 1t does not fill the room with gases
SO common from coal or steam heating ap-
paratus. The CRATE fire quickly rarefies
the impure air and, when proper ventila-
tod is given, expels it.
If fire is made in a room however, it is
more important than ever that good yenti-
lation shall be given. Many have the idea
that the fire alone purifies the damp air,
while in reality it deteriorates it and makes
it worse than before if kept inclosed in
tight place. The fire will render the air of
tight room noxious in an incredible short
space of time, but when ventilation is given,
too, the very best effects are obtained. At
night the fire can be kept going in the
sleeping room, but the upper sash should
be opened. The fire will then rarely the
air and expel it, while new fresh air will
come in to be breathed Restless, sleepless
nights will not come to one sleeping in such
an Observation-Disclosures Blade.

Our Children's Sleeping Rooms.

The sleeping room of the children need
not necessarily connect with the day quar-
tiers; it may be in another portion of the
house entirely, and it is quite fitting that
it should be near or in connection with the
sleeping room OF the parents. Many wise,
careful mother so arranges that her chill
dren shall sleep within call during their
early, tender years, that she may hasten to
them at moments notice, that she may
guide and guard them from the many
subtle dangers of early life. Yet the sleep
ing quarters for children, as well as for
adults, should always be commodious, well
ventilated and in every way wholesome

Home Decoration.

If there is any home that is thoroughly
unhomelike, it is the place that has been
put into the hands of some unsympathetic
decorator and furnished upon the hard,
stern lines laid down by some correct epoch
of design. 1t it all well enough to have a
home furnished correctly, but house
needs the stamp of personality to make it
all and wholly home, for the occupant is
bereft of large share of pleasure if her
establishment is robbed of "reminiscences
and sentiment. The get-rich-quick people,
who suddenly realize that their surround
ings are inartistic are never satisfied with
what decorator would call correct fur
nishings."
Decorators, like shoemakers, endeavor to
fit their patrons, and they will, If you ask
them, always find places to incorporate the
things that are surcharged and saturated
with the homel- suggestions of pleasur-
able past-Johnny' first valentine, Mary's
diploma and the card notices mother
made" You can't reconcile macrame lam

The Fashionable GirdIes.

Girdles for cloth and silk gowns are made
Of bias velvet in single piece, about eight
inches wide. The edges are narrowly
turned down and hemmed with blind
stitches. Three rows of shirring draw the
front down to width of only FIVE inches,
and two supple whalebones are set in cas-
ings between these shirrings. The fasten-
ing is made in the back by four hooks and
eyes hidden under two little meeting frills,
each an inch wide. of the velvet doubled at
the ends of the girdle. Stirring and whale
bones similar to those in front are down
the back, each side OF the frills. Such
girdles of all kinds are so much in favor
that they are often seen on basques and
coats as well as to complete round bodices

And so he is. Boys are very trying, but
know something worse, and that is his sis
ter. She is such a hector and fidget. You
have to braid her hair every morning for
school and it takes the time you want to
devote to other things, such as sitting down
TO the piano and trying over a new song, or
cutting the leaves of the latest books. All,
but, my dear, know big sisters who
would exchange the sweetest song that
was ever sung for the noisy halloo of the
little boy who made such racket last
year, but who is very quiet at last out in
his grave at Rose Hill.
And know a mother who would rather
pass her fingers through the tangled
meshes of a troublesome girls hair today
than thread them with dazzling diamonds.
But this head, with its bright hair, has
vanished from the dear home, and there is
nothing left to soothe or perhaps to cause
keen regret. See to it, my dear, that you
deal very patiently with these noisy boys
and troublesome girls while you have
them with you. Tomorrow holds unfore-
told and unimagined sorrows.-Chicago

Tho Woman of Forty,

At forty, if ever, the ladies know how to
make the most of themselves, which is I'M
true of the vast majorities in the twenties
Perhaps at no other age is the best type Of
woman more strikingly beautiful She un-
derstands how to exercise her gifts and
charms in most effective fashion.
The grace of perfect self possession, often
wanting in young women, is hers. If she
was diffident, awkward and inexperienced
contact with society has removed these i'm
projections. If she was gushing emotional,
affected and too laxative, she has correct
ed these faults and is warily winsome
where before she was positively wearisome.
In the normal evolution of taste she has ac-
quired the rare art of dressing faululessly,
and so avoiding the detracting infelicities
of earlisr years Her selections of style,
color and material harmonic with her fig
ur-> complexion and the occasion, and she
daosn't look "a day over thirty"
The woman of forty is infinitely more
attractive to men than she will be in later
life, when her fine complexion fades,
wrinkles leave their year marks across her
brow, silver threads her glossy hair, her
eyes lose their luster and her step its
sprightliness. She may always be agree
able, but never again so fascinating.
The woman of forty! She is destracting,
delightful, divinel Her society is soiacs
which robs remembrance of all remorss
aed poverty of all pain. The spell of her
dark, depthless eyes wakens latent emo
tions into ecstatic life, while the music OF
her voice thrills and fills the soul with Joy
unspeakable. Grace, goodness and gentle
ness supplement the rare and ravishing
beauty of face and figure and her welcom-
ing smile is precious prize, beside which
wealth and learning and Kingdoms are but
dross- Luxuriant nature, in the infinite
plenitude of her blessings, has bequeathed
to man naught else so Intoxicating and in
comparable as the woman of forty-Troy
