That enviable gift which we call
taste. for lack of better name, is not
more in evidence in the mansions OF
Salt Lake city than in some OF its
humber homes. Some Of the most
clever devices for home ornamentation
are to be found oft times where we
least expect them.
We have in mind now a suite OF
rooms IL an unsightly house in an at
tractive quarter of the city, which has
been made beautiful by the wand Oh
that fairy known as good taste
Everywhere the dainty touch Oh lhat
wand can be traced An unsightly re-
cess in one of the walls is made a
thing of beauty by the artistic arrange
ment of dried grasses in and about II.
A lady observing this was heard to
sigh, II wish l had a hole in my par
lor wall so that ] might decorate it =
The small. old-faShioned mirror is
made really pretty by its dainty drap-
cry A square of fine mating over the
mantle is converted into unique but
pretty photograph holder, and only the
privileged few who know the house
this covers another unlovely spot in
the walls of the old house. There is
nothing expensive in the furnishings OF
this home save two or three relics of
past affluence, that remind visitors of
the more elegant but not lovelier home
which their hostess once graced. But
the keen artistic sense that guides the
presiding genius of this small home in
arranging a cushion where it will look

flowers where the bright spot Of color
will brighten the whole room, in drap-
ing a chair or picture SO that the casual
observer would pronounce the result
careless grace. and the initiated would
call highest art, makes these among
the most attractive homes in the city.
The past week might be called the
ERA of clubs as it has been marked
by the initial meetings Of several newly
organized clubs. some OF a purely
social nature, others literary. The
Thespian ball on Wednesday, of which
a full account appeared in Thursday
