FOR HOUSEWIVES.

DON'T put a bright colored carpet
into room where the furniture is dull,
old or of neutral tints.
DoN'T have chandeliers or hanging
lamps with rooms of low ceiling; use
side brackets in such cases.
DON'T furnish north room in blue
or any other cold color; something of a
warm tint should be chosen.
DON'T hang a heavy portiere over a
narrow door; generally speaking, hang
ings are out of place in a small house,
or with small rooms.
DON'T fill the center of the room, I'M
less there is plenty of space on all
sides; nothing offends good taste so
seriously as the sense of being ''clut-
tered up"
DON'T have too much of one kind of
decoration in the house; two rooms
upon the same general pattern are
quite enough-an individual scheme
for each apartment is better.
DON'T use all your kindness and gal
lantry away from home, and let the
unpleasantness manifest itself in the
family circle; try the other course for
a time, and see how that will work.

MUTTON CHOPS.

FREQUEN change of pasture should
be given and anything which conduces
to the comfort of the heecy beauties.
SHEEP farming has an advantage
over dairying in balancing up the work
of the year more evenly. If itincreases
the winter work it makes less to do in
summer.
THE mutton maker who lives near
town may be able to sell readily at the
right price, but he must contend with
the town dogs, which is no slight dis
advantage.
On the right track is the man who
enlarges his flock by adding to it full
blooded and high-priced buck. A choice
buck lamb can be bought in the spring
at a low price, and reared as easily as
any other.
A LANE leading to the pastures from
the yard or fold is a good thing. The
sheep can be taught to come up at
night and need only have the gate
opened in the morning, when they will
go to feeding without having further
time spent on them.

You remember at one time the Vassar

'weird'-from comic opera to mid

Oh, dozens of uses; we used them to
drink from in our rooms, to keep flow

lions for bad colds, to carry to picnics,
% smuggle ice-cream in and for lots of
5ther interesting affairs. OF course

AN unhappy father in Dahlonega,

He says: MY son is idle and lazy,
and the only hope for his welfare is
matrimony. A good wife would be
apt to make him hustle, or kill him."

WHITE gloves have returned to favor

REAL lace wells, of the large old
fashioned size which delighted our
grandmothers, are coming into style
again.
THE ''round table shirt" which is
cut out of goods five yards wide, and
has no seam, is at present the most
popular one. Nothing surpasses this
in fit.
THE waist trimming of recently
imported dress exactly resembles the
wings of butterflies, as though one of
these creatures was perched on each
shoulder.
WHITE kid and suede sailor hats are
new this season, but straw takes the
lead, with quilts for trimming, while a
more fancy sailor has roses around the
crown and under the brim.
A PRETTY idea for bridesmaids cos
tune is a gown of soft white silk with
pale green sash and shoulder cape
OF white lace; large white leghorn hat
trimmed with yellow tea roses and
green foliage.
CLEAR white muslin is used for
dresses which are worn over colored
silk. The skirt is of three deep founces
with wide hens and colored ribbon
run in the hens. Waist of silk, draped
over with muslin, and abroad soft sash
of the color at the waist.

DoNT's FOR HUSBANDS.

DON'T forget that the true gentle
man never uses profane or vulgar Ian
guage; that he does not speak hastily.
DON'T hang about the kitchen, with
advice here and suggestions there, I'M
less your wife has the same privilege
at your place of work or business.
DoN'T pay dollar for lunch ''down
town." and half as much more for
cigars, while you think up plans for
greater economy in the family grocery

DON'T require an itemized report of
every dollar placed in her hands, even

ture; consider how many times you
have given her the example.-Good
