HOME DECORATION.
How a Pretty Corner Piece May
Be Made on Economical Terms

Nothing economies space o per-
fectly and at the same time gives a bet
ter effect in the room than the corner
cabinet. The very roomy n shown In
the sketch is simple in the extreme. Yet
it provides some ample book shelves as
well as q resting place for many a bit of
china or fine pottery. Its foundation
may be any wood you please, but simple
yellow pine, well rubbed and treated
with shellac, is as good as need be. Line
the back with dark re s7elveteen or with
any deep toned material having a surface
well suited to use as a back ground and
put upon the upper shelves your choicest
bits of faience.

OF INTEREST TO LADIES.


New Fads In Table Decorations to suit
the Most Fastidious.
Caret glasses are to be cut intaglio.
The faverite decoration for them is the
head of Queen Isabella, although many
show a fine bust of Columbus.
The accepted flower vase is of glass.
Around the neck there is tied a big bow
Of ribbon corresponding in color with
the table decorations.
Very gorgeous table lamps have a base
of pale green glass with enamel flowers
upon it. The lamp shade carries out the
color Of the glass, and the whole is a
symphony in pale green.
The handles of pie knives have ap-
peared in the form of Spanish daggers-
not very sharp of course, nor very point
ed. When the Spanish dagger is not
holds sway.
Glass salt cups are covered with silver
wire traced in q pretty pattern.
The newest forks and spoons are of
gold, with Dresden china handles. They
are SO pretty that the admiring house
wife finds an excuse for placing odd ones
upon her table in addition to putting
them at every plate.
A bonbon dish Of gilt wire, with a
spoon of twisted wire, is a pleasing 10Y
city for a luncheon table.
Crackers are henceforth to be kept in
a silver jar instead of a china one. The
jar closes with o clasp and stands upon
four legs Of its own. 1t is decorated
with designs of wheat, oats and barley.
Instead Of a dolly underneath each
plate very delicate mats of gold wire are
to be used by those who are always on
the lookout for something unique. These
delicate openwork affairs are not at all
like the trays familiar to childhood days,
nor would they be distinguishable at a
casual glance from doilies Of heavy yell
low cord.

A Trying Color.

At the dressmakers' or modistes'
women are frequently heard to say:
Violet and heliotrope used to b e
such becoming colors to me; now they
do me scant favor etc. This is due
to the fact, in many instances, that
the crimson puppies have had their
day and the metallic gray and blue
puppies are ''in," and to very many
persons these colors are extremely
irving The pure violet. known as
elninence or pontifical, is far more be-
coming. but ON who have not
very fair or clear, rosy compilations
are advised to eschew purple in all its
color notifications, no matter how
fashionable this dye may be.-NeWGrk

preservation of Rings.

Don't wear your rings under gloves
unless Vol remember to have them
thoroughly examined twice a year." is
the advice given by a jeweler. The con
slant friction wears out the tiny gold
points that hold the stones in place, and
unless strict attention is paid to them
they become loose in a very short time.
Small purses Of suede leather are made
on purpose for rings, or any soft po1chcf
skin of channels may be used to place the
rings in when desiring to carry them

Make SOHO curtains Of india silk and
finish each with a velvet band. Then
hang them from small brass rods, as the
drawing shows. Fill in all the open
shelves with books and leave the two

antique lace. The crepe de chine is
used for the sleeve. There is a huge
puff which is drawn into plaits just be-
low the elbow and edged with a deep

little frock are bound with gold cord,

HOW to Keen tho Feet Warm.

The first and most important rule
to keep the feet warm is never to be
tightly shod. Boots or shoes that fit
closely prevent the free circulation of
the blood by pressure; but when, on
the contrary, they do not embrace the
foot too firmly, the space left between
the shoe and the stocking has a good
supply of warm air. The second rule
is never to sit in damp shoes. 1t is
often supposed that unless shoes are
positively wet it is unnecessary to
change them while the feet are at rest.
This is a great fallacy, for when the
least dampness is absorbed into the
sole, in its evaporation it absorbs the
heat from the foot, and thus perspira-
ton is dangerously checked .-Net0ark

COLOGNE DRUNKARDS
Many Society Women Said

THE DANGEROUS HABIT GROWS.

The craving for a stimulant of some
sort or other which comes to exhausted
nature after d round of dissipation
mig lin and night out during the
"se;. h."i is undoubtedly responsible
for lexistence of cologne drunkards
anne the class of women who would
neve think of taking brandy OR whis-
key, and who, because of the mild
sounding name of their tipple think
its effects equally harmless.
Is there a living who has
not al some time or other taken little
swallow of cologne to sweeten the
breath before starting to a ball, a re-
ception, or to meet someone below
stairs +? Can you not remember the
momentary exhilaration that the
burning liquid brought to your senses
and the added sparkle to your eyes.
Ii you were at all blue or depressed
how much better you felt after tnat
little sip of the sweet smelling Huid.
For some time that little sip lays
the foundation of a habit as strong as
that of whiskev or morphine. Day

sips increase, though wOlnen e
drink cologne as men do whiskey, as
q sip is all that is swallowed at one
time. The confirmed whiskey drinker
would require time to acquire the col
ogne habit, as the latter drink is much
than the meanest comblna-
lion of fusel oil and carpet taeks ever
sold for fifty cents a quart under the
name of whiskey.
Cologne is really nothing less than
straight alcohol, sweetened with a few
drops of some pleasant Oil or essence.
In cologne there is So per cent. aico-
hol; in whiskey from 40 to 90 per cent.
There you are, and you see that a
delicate. refined woman, who would as
soon drink poison as to take a glass of
whiskey, pours down her throat in lit
tie SIPS a compound that is far more
hurtful in its effects and almost as
much stronger than whiskey as whis-
key is stronger than water.
The society woman, who has her
dressing tables we'll supplied with all
sorts of cologne and toilet waters, will
tell you at the conclusion OF anyenter-
1ainment that the cologne bottles are
decidedly depleted, proving thai col
orne fiends, either IN the first stage or
in the more advanced periods OF the
habit, have been among her guests.
The silver flask which was one
thought to be only appropriate for
wicked man, finds in the cologne
drunkard a ready purchaser, as it is
carried every where that she goes, and
surreptitious sips taken at all places
serve to empty the flask and swell the
druggists bill. Cologne is no cheap
tipple in any sense of the word, and
the wise woman will avoid its dire in
fuence as she shuns the contents of a
bottle marked poison.-Ph1adelphiG
