THINGS THAT ARE SURE TO PLEASE ALL
HE LADIES'
Anew THINGS HASTILY DISPOSED

Were Sufficient Daintiiy 70 Beauthy Ani'
Girls Room.
"Show me a girls room and III ten
You what manner of q woman she Is,
is All old saw in the woman's DOCK OF
character study. and the other day "nen
ushered into room unlike any otne'
in the universe, 1t needed no oracle 10
announce to the writer that it was the
nest of q ladybird with ideas and orlgl-
naIity; happy faculty OF making tne
best Of things, and an artist oy lnstlno'
not by profession. The trst thing u
attract attention was WonoeT-
derfully sunny window, with SASH
curtain of thin yellow silk covered Win
the soft gray shadows OF dancing vino
leaves. The window had an unpleasant
outlook, and the silk for its decoration
had been carried to yeranda, where
vine made the shadow OF its graceIul
leaves upon the fioer. She had lalo the
silk down where the shadows were most
perfect, and then had fixed them lot
ever with soft gray water colors ana
gathered 1t in her window sash. Be
meath the window she had arranged
little seat with yellow cushion, ana
draped across the window pole ana
down one side the window curtain OF
striped grenadine-white, with yellow
and dull blue and olive-in the curtain.
Beside it was a revolving bookstand
filled with magazines and new books.
A white fur rug stretched out In front,
and on this were more cushions. the
heavy ones Of whic b form seat.
Another thing to attract attention
was one of the gayly cOlored Gnayaquii
hammocks, draped across one circle OF
the room, making with its fringes ana
tassels q brilliant decoration. Some one
had given the hammock to the woman
who didn't see a veranda from one
summer to the next. But she had ideas
IL she didn't have the veranda, so she
put on hooks In diagonal corners OF the
room and suspended the luxurious web
thereon when she wanted to forget how
busy she was. When not In
use more hooks simply draped
the bright netting against the wall.
And last OF all was noticeable the dress
ing table, which was made after the
old duchess fashion, ample and low
enough for its possessor to utilize, re ST
fully sitting in the low white chair
which stood before it. The table was
made of wooden frame, which she
herself designed, the top padded, COW
cred with pale green silesia and then
with dotted muslin. All about was
frilled curtain OF the slesia, with the
muslin over it, a fluted irill at the bot
tom, another at the toy.
The mirror was one Of the old-fash-
toned kind, with the upper half plct-
ure, the lower half aglass. There were
painted cupids in the picture and the
muslin draped down each side OF 1t.
On the table were most delicate china
trays with ivory brushes inlaid with
tiny CIPHER OF silver on the back, and
china powder boxes and hairpin boxes
and all the paraphernalia Of the toilet
in china receptacles, with one or two
bits OF silver polished to the last degree
OF brightness. One couldn't help loving
the woman after one glance at the toilet
table, which was the daintlest ever ar
ranged, except the one from which 1t
was copied, and which they will show
you still in the apartment OF Nine. de
Remusat. The bed was OF brass with
white hangings over the faint green lin
ings, with an old-iashloned valance Of
muslin beneath its Counterpart of
white, with green ribbons threaded in
and out of It's open-work border.
