What to Do and What Not TO Do in Fur

We would like TO see a library pam

walls, with broad and comfortable
seats arranged under the book shelves

The effort to preserve the fitness of
things seems to have reached its height
in case recently heard of, where a
wealthy young woman-an extremist

grief black fur rugs alone broke
the lustless polish of the floor of her
room, which had been ebonized; a
couch covered with dull black cloth

gradually toned with and into gray and
violet until now, when touches of rosy
pink give effectual evidence of return

A unique way to decorate a ceiling is
to cover with yellow Indian mating,
divided into squares by split bamboo
sticks, put on as gilt molding is put on
over paper. Around the room, close TO
the side walls, hangs a frleze of figured
India silk, letting it fall loose. Then
treat the side walls like the ceiling and
finish with dado or fiounee of India or
China silk.-Chicago Times.

/ was wandering around in Battery

strings to hold his garments together

soundly he slept and wondering how

her hero and the knight of her dreams
Often and often have | seen the girl at
school hiding their fathers photograph
in the leaves of their books, kissing it
enthusiastically on the sly. pressing it
to their hearts when they go TO chapel
to say their prayers. sewing his last
letter into their dresses. treasuring
some little keepsake in their poclS-

Dear Friends:-We know how i'm
possible it is to silencs your grief
with words. The heart pleads for ut
terancs in tears, and let it speak
thus. We bow in sorrow at the
taking of your little one, feeling that
while the ripening fruit may be gath
ered, it seems cruel that the bud
should be taken before it has even
opportunity to unfold its blossom.
But in nature fruits fall, and so do
blossoms and buds. In the ways of
kind nature this is perhaps best, and
in the taking from our arms of this
little one. we will try to accept the
cross and bear it, believing that the
bud will vet blossom and bear fruit
in the angel band, whittier the
spirit of this pure child has so early
flown.

Big Game.

James Horning of this town was out
cunning last Friday, north of Espen.
schade's farm he shot hawk that
measured Iour feet two inches, from
the tip of one to the tip of the other
wing. Extenting the hunt to Shade
mountain he aroused bear from it's
lair in cluster of laurel bushes, but
he failed to get a shot at the animal,
and realized the disappointment of
being so near and yet so far away.
There was considerable snow on that
part of the mountain and as long as
the bear kept in the snow belt it was
not hard to follow, but it left the
snow for clear ground and then the
trail was lost.
