Economical people rent cheap houses.
and cheap houses have dark halls, and no
one is quite satisfied with an unattractivs
hallway. An ingenious woman improved
on the usual way by covering her walls
with pictures in such a way as to convert
her hallway into thing Of beauty. She
collected suitable pictures, mostly en-
cravings of al unsnsdowy nature, then in
vested in squares OF glass, and strips Of
white and black enameled wood these she
took to an humble little cabinetmaker,
he put the glass and frames and pictures
together for a song, and 80 she framed her
sixty pictures within the money limit drawn
by her indulgent husband. The family
looked on with curiosity not unmingled
with scorn when the sixty little pictures
came home. They were Of every shape and
size. Some not larger than the palm of your
hand; some in groups OF four running in a
row; now and then there would be SIX little
fellows gathered in one frame, couples and
trios, ana the majority single squares. Full
half were provided with brass rings TO be
tackled fiat against the wall, but the ma
joriuy we're to hang in the orthodox way.
After she had completed this original un-
dertakng the effect was not only satisfsc.
tory, but surpassed even her idea of the
light and beauty in her formerly dark and
uDinvlting hallway, and now It is radiant
with brightness and grace, the mistress goes
in and out with a sense of placid pleasure
over her decoration, and the young mau
visitor halts as he hangs up his hat, recoR-
MIXING the smart girl in her opera box, the
sepia firtations, beguiling little Musmes,
and Ahby's adorable Shskespearean girls
nodding at him from the walls.
The mothers Of Savannah display their
usual good taste in the dainty and lovely
dressing Of the happy little children who
make such bright little groups in the park
aud in the squares. Their lovely, innocent
faces are an attraction, and this is enhanced
by the soft, white materials or the delicate
tints Of their clothes. The mild climate
permits the babies to appear in full force,
and their carriages, as we'll as themselves,
are very noticeable for their evidence of
care and taste. There is a very lovely
white enameled carriage, with a white lace
shade surmounted by blue bow, that falls
gracefully in several long loops, and a pale
blue eider-down carriage robe, under
which, by careful observation, may be seen
a contented and silently happy little sleeper
who rarely travels beyond CASTOR street.

return TO that popular resort later on, And

Mrs. Cleveland's phReton is described as
being light vehicls, Of a dark green color,
with small yellow stripes on the wheels and
sides. The top extends so far forward that

owned by Savannah ladies.

matrons and young married ladies and the
tendency is to make 10 very decorative. In

tons have appeared, such as turquoise, anne

Refined and cultured people flnd it even
more necessary to have well furnished
dining room than anything else to complete
their full measure of happiness. The din
ing rooms OF the metropolis are assuming
the proportions aud luxuries of the ban
quoting halls OF the ancient Romans. Mrs.
Van Rensselaer, Cruger entertains in one Of
the most effective of these dining halls when
summering at her charming" Idlesse Farm"
on Long Island. The apartment, which il
large and lofty, is not only the
communication of artistic taste, but is
cunningly oontrived to enhance the love-
liuess OF every woman who enters it. The
walls are hung in dark crimson satin bro
