How to Drape Summer Cur

Effect.
LIGHT DAINTY MATERIALS.
Portiere Ideas-ferns in Fire
Places--Noyel Flower Table.

The question of draping the doors and
the windows Of the winter homo is one
that can be settled with little thought.
But, says the New York World, the ar
rangement for spring and warm weather
requires both consideration and great
care. In winter all sorts Of stutfs are
welcome, and it is only necessary to Sc
lect warm tones and sufficiently heavy
material to shut out all possible draft.
In tho warmer season problems less easy
to solve present themselves on every side.
The hues of the windows and the doors
in most of our houses are u-ncompromis-
ingly ugly and severe, SO that if left to-
tally undraped they give a cherries as
pect to the room. Yet curtains are apt
to be stuffy. and portieres are apt to shut
out the air, and the unfortunate house
wife stands midway between her desire
for decoration and the necessity she feels
for providing all possible ventilation.
This article and these pictures are in
tended to solve afew atleast of her prob
lens. Let her buy the light, almost dia-

Yesterday was a gala day with the
United Order of Red Men. With a
parade in the morning through Jersey
City's principal thoroughtarss, a dinner
at noon and a good time all the day and
night through, such as the Redmen
seldom enjoy, the dy was one memoir
able with them. For twenty-one years
have the Redmen been In existence in
this city, and show signs OF a healthy
majority and promise Of a ripe old age.
The Institution is as strong, If not
stronger, than it ever has been bafore,
and stands upon a firm basis.
The day was spent in dancing, bowling,
singing aud in every other way III which
fun and pleasure could be derived.
In the evening the greatest time of all
was had, when the most prominent visi-

THE PHYSICAL DEBT OF CYCLING.

1t Is q Rotundity of the Back Depriving
the Figure of All Grace.
All pastlmes doubtless have their physi-
cal debt which must be paid. The physf-
cal debt OF football, if nothing more seri-
Gus happens, is as often as not a broken
bone; thai of cricket a splintered fEger;
that of tennis a "tennis elbow; that of
riding a tendency TO DANDY legs" ETC.,
and it must be conceded that in a similar
degree the physical debt of cycling is an
ungraceful ~retundity of the back, which
bids fair, uuder present circumstances, to
deprive the young men OF the generation
of any claim to thet gracefulness of form
desperately associated with an upright
figure and well expanded and prominent
chest. Apart altogether. however, from
a health point of view, nothing could ex-
coed the inartistic attitude which is now
assumed by "wheelmen" trundltng them
selves about on "safeties."

eral features of the riders which attract
the attention OF an ObSerVant spectator at

such a spectacle is a melancholy one is
by no means to exaggerate the truth.
Under present circumstances a man never
can look his best on a bicycle, and so far
as women are concerned In the matter of
cycling, unquestionably the less said the

NOOuAN'S INNINGS.
Schwartz's Opponent Puts
Witnesses On the Cross
Question Griddle.

All OF the evidence of the witnesses for
Geo. Schwartz. who is coutestiug the seat
o. F~reeholder Noopan of the Eleventh
The last witness testified Yesterday forMr.
Schwartz, and now Freebooter Noonan
will have a chance to tell his side of the
case.
Frederick Frambach. p of the coun-
sci for Mr.. Schwartz, was the only witness
in the proceedings in the Grand Jury
room before Supreme Court Commits
sioner Van Horne yesterday. He testified
that ne had been retained by Mr.Sehwartz
to watch out for his interests before the
County Board of Canvassers. and Satur-
day, april IS, when Freebooter Noonan
was declared by Chairman Crotty TO be
elected Freebooter. He further testified
hat Clerk Gritten informed the Board OF
Canvassers that a return from West
Hoboken was missing, and that q recess
was taken to enable a messenger to fetch
the returns.
NAMES SPELLED WRONG.
When the messenger returned the
beard %reconvened. Clerk Gritten in
formed all that he had made a special az
ra ngemenI for tabulating the vote on the
returns, because he had ascertained that
the names of the candidates had been
spelled in different ways, and that ne had
been informed that a dispute would
probably arise out of the irregularities.
The Clerk recorded the names as they
were spelled, and said that County Clerk
Mclaughlin would not assume any re-
sponsibility i'll the proceedings.
During the p~reliminaries to the can
vass, George Snrope. a member or the
Board of C~anvassers, asked the Chairman
and Clerk ii there was more than one
Swartz running for Freebooter, and an
other member shouted that there
was a George Schwartz" who was
a candidate for member of Assembly
two years ago. Chairman Crotty wo Ild
not give any information. Some one
made a motion, which prevailed, that t he
returns be read as they appe AIRED on THEIR
face. Clerk Gritteu did this; he read
and spelled the names and, Then named
the total vote of both candidates. The
Chairman announced the result that on
the face of the returns a mis- NJ. Noonan
was elected Freebooter.
APPEAL MADE.
Mr.. Fichtl of the Second district ap-
pealed from the decision of the Char
and so did others. but Chairman CrottY
decided that all appeals must be made to
the County Clerk in writing and the
Chair refused to entertain the appeals OF
the members of the b GARD.
Witness closed his testimony by saying
that no motion or resolution was adopted
by the board determining what person
had been elected freeholuer in the
Eleventh district. This closed the eyi-
dense for Mr.. Schwartz and the case was
adjourned to enable Mr.. Moran TO pre-
pare his side OF the controversy.

phanous material intended for summer
draperies, and let her see to it that the
design is dainty.
The very charming arrangement for a
double window draperyshown in the cut
is designed for a bedroom OF boudoir,
but it might, if the material were select
ed Alright, be used with equally good eff
feet in the simple sitting room" Of q
country home. As shown in the draw
ing, the window is draped with inexpen-
sive cotton Grape, old blue in tone, with
q simple conventional figure in white.
While it is charming in color and excel
lent in its lines, it costs an absurdly
small sum. The Grape, which is a yard
wide. can be purchased for IS cents a
yard. and the edge of a single white ball
for a trihe more. In order to get abso-
lutely free use of the window both for
light and air the curtains are hung from
q small rod beneath the drapery that
adds SO largely to their effect. They are
looped in preference to being allowed to
hang straight, as that method regulates
without sacrificing the amount of air de-
sired. The drapery owe the pole, of
course, is stationary and does not move
as the curtain does, SO that ever when
the greatest exposure is obtained there
are graceful folds and lines in place of
the hard, ugly woodwork that is ordi-
nnrily seen. C~retonne, madras, japanese
Grape and almost any Of the excellent
lightweight materials now in might
well be used.
The other arrangement given is in
tended for the doorway of the summer
home, when heavy hangings are not lon
ger needed and when portieres give that
peculiar stiffness which all wise house
wives struggle to avoid. But the same
or similar effects might be used at any
wide window with entirely satisfactory
results. The materials are simple and de-

however, is being pushed, and 1t is now
