HOW TO HANG PICTURES.
Points to Be Considered in the Decora.
tion of Room.

IF the picture is bad or disagreeable
then it cannot 90 too far out OF sight,
but why should not good picture
hang opposite the eyes of person
who stands before it and not away
above his headP
Nearly all pictures are hung sloping
outward from the bottom to the top,
saws Wonsankiaad, aud this is necessary
in the case of oil paintings, but an
etching often looks best when hung
perpendicular and fiat against the
wall.
When two pictures containing fig
ures are hung in iuxtaposition care
should be taken that these figures
should not be made to commit the
rudeness of turning their backs on
each other.
A minor consideration, but one,
which can not always be regarded, is,
that the shadows in a picture should
turn from the windows of the room
where it hangs. Thus if the shadow
of the picture falls toward the right it
would be we'll if possible to hang it
where the light in the room comes
from the left.
Another OBVIOUS fule is tHaI, Whlle
large and bold subject may look we'll
hung at height or at distance from
the Spectator, a very small picture, or
one containing minute figures, will be
quite lost unless placed where it can
be seen without difficulty.
A hint may also be given on sub
iect not directly connected with farm
ing, but involving popular error
which seems to take long time in
dying out. This is the supposed ne
cessity for having pictures in pairs, or
"companion pieces" 1t is very well
to match pair of carriage horses or
the andirons in fireplace. but artists
ideas do not run in pairs, and no really
artistic picture should be dependent
upon some picture of the same size
and shape.
Iwould be wrong to condemn any
two pictures because they happen to
correspond in subject or in size-be-
cause most rooms contain pairs of cor
responding wall spaces which call for
pictures of about an equal size. 1t is
only the unreasoning insistence upon
"companion pieces" which is wrong,
for it degrades the pictures to the level
of mere wall furniture.

could be dimly seen as through cloud.
"Get me an old rotteu frame" he said
at length, and, when the picture was
transferred to it, it looked as if it had
come out of a junk shop. "Come with
me, " he said to the artist, "to the Paris
salon.
place for masterpiece. gentlemen, :"
exclaimed the circus proprietor in a
confident tone.
The committee were profoundly af-
fected by the grimy appearance of the
treasure and hung it up in the most
prominent place in the exhibition, and
marked it No. /.
When the painter had had the eff
frontery to offer it in a fresh state the
committee had knocked him down
stairs. Now they were all suavity.
They called on a number of poor
painters.
"Gentlemen, exclaimed Perkins, "I
will give you 40 francs apiece if you
will sit and sketch picture No /,
"Venns in the salon"
They were engaged. A crowd of
students he next employed at 2 francs
an hour, to stand in an entranced state
before the picture. The salon was
opened, and crowd stood in front of it.

pretended delight. The artists copied
and skctched as if their lives depended

get a glimpse. Women tainted in the

artists were sighted.

The latter bid was accepted and the
money paid, and out of it the lodging
bill was made thing of the past. The
Parisians still rave over the picture,
which can be seen by any one in the
Louvre Gallery, although it has to be
whitewashed occasionally to preserve
its visibility, and the moral is, you can
make copy of any of the old masters

big, and the belt which confines the
garment about the waist is trimmed
with two narrow rows of black bear.
Rows of the same fur appear on cape,
collar, and cuffs. The hat, which COM
pletes this out-of-door costume, is big,
black, and trimmed with velvet aud
ostrich tips.
English women, in spite of the fact
that they pose as model mothers, do
not dress their children half SO simply
as sensible Americans. Rich materials
are used and "grown-up" fashions
adopted for girls far oftener than is
consistent with the best taste. An i'm
ported frock that gives fair idea of
what is to be worn on the other side
this winter is made ofbrown cloth with
revers, vest, and sleeves of cut velvet.

Of the many instances which you have
no doubt noted if you have ever visited
Lincoln park on day when skating
was permitted and observed carefully.
The thing to be acquired in skating
is gracefulness. A large number of
ungraceful skaters are turned out each
year through the mistaken idea that
the one thing to be acquired is great
speed. After learning to skate grace
fully it will be an easy matter to reach
high rate of speed at a comparatively
small expenditure of energy. 1t is ass
sumed in what is said here that the
reader is able to keep his balance on
the ice and to make progress, after a
fashion.

FETCHING THE PUBLIC,
Blivens Makes Fortune by Art-A Tale
with a Moral.

Henry Blivens was an artist in Paris,
where he expected to garner in heavy
crop of immortal glory and golden
ducats, but he made nothing but big
lodging bill. For months he had
worked on figure of Venus. When
it was done it was melancholy af-
fair, with sad eyes turned up at an
angle of thirty-fve degrees, and com
plexion like a consumptive cheese.
Higher and higher rose the lodging
bill, deeper and deeper grew the de.
spair of the artist. One day stranger
entered the studio.

A pretty use of plaid effects that are
so popular this season for frightening
small girls wardrobe was hit upon
by one fond mother. Two kits, one of
blue and green blocked off with yell
low, the other of bright red tartan,
were made to wear with her little
daughters dark-blue serge jacket and
white lawn shirt. When the occa-
sion demands even more gayety in
apparel jacket of bright red velvet is
worn instead, with the best possible
effect.
For dancing school this same little
girl, who is, by the way, just IA, has d

with round French waist and full
skirt drawn in with narrow ribbons,
which serves as belt, and is finished

buds bloom perpetually, will take the
place of the thinner dress. With both
of them black silk stockings and dainty
little patent leather pumps are worn.

which this little maid defiies biting

SO simple and appropriate and withal
SO smart" The coat in which she

the eyes should always be kept off the
ice. When skating backward this will
necessitate looking toward the rear,
which, besides being the correct posi-
tion, enables the skater to see where
he is going and thus avoid obstacles.
The degree to which the sidewise at
titude should be carried is almost the
same on three edges out of the entire
possible four, as follows: Inside edge
forward, inside edge backward; out
side edge backward. But on the re-
naming edge namely, the outside
edge forward, the, position may be
eased up trifie. The outside edge
forward is the normal way of advan-
cling, and no person can properly call
himself skater who is not proficient
in this respect. Although the inside
edge forward in correct skating should
be employed only in figure making, it
is the way that is used by fully nine
tenths OF the skaters in the vicinity of
Chicago. When the skateris travelling

The arms should be held easily at the
sides, although considerable latitude is
allowed in this regard, it being under
stood that in no case shall they be
swung violently or held akimbo After
the stroke is made the unemployed leg
should be drawn up to the other, with
the toe of the foot pointing outward
and downward. When the next stroke
is made it should be done easily, with a
sway of the body, to the other balance.
The accompanying cuts adequately
illustrate these remarks.

"Now that road-coaching is on the
increase in America, it is to be hoped
that a iudcious and limited use of the
horn may prevail Continual horn

upon an outside forward edge the line
OF the shoulders should cross the line
of the foot SO as to make with it upon
the side to which the skater fronts an
angle of about 1875 degrees. When
travelling upon either of the other three
edges this angle should be opened still
further and should be from about 100
degrees in the case of an inside forward
edge to ITO degrees in the case of an
outside back edge.

wash Dresses and Lawn Skirts to Be
Worn All Winter-For the Streets and

Every woman wants to keep her
daughter a "little girl" just as long as
grasping years will allow her to. 1t
is for this reason, perhaps, that the
gowns for girls who have already been
initiated into their "teens" become
simpler and younger each season. In
the case of most carefully reared chill
dren Miss Fourteen's frocl1s do not diff
fer essentially from those in which
Miss Eight plays with her dolls and
hangs on the Lips Of her English COVER
ness. Miss Fights skirts are round, so
are Miss Fourteen's. Miss Eight wears
round French waists with narrow rib
bon belts, Miss Fourteen is allowed to
snuggle her small body into the folds
of an Eton jacket and a blouse. In
both cases the materials are pretty
nearly identical. Wash goods-ging-
hams, lawns and muslins of every de-
cription-are liked for little girls
"every- day" dresses, and while older
sisters skirts and Jackets are generally
of serge, their shirts are always of
white lawn save on rare, gala occasions,
when waists of bright-colored silk may
be substituted.

If a stroke has been taken in for
ward direction the unemployed leg
will, on completing the thrust, be very
much extended, while the knee of the
employed leg will be bent and the
whole body bowed forward, with the
head slightly inclined downward.
This attitude is not conducive to
stability of balance, and should be cor
rected by Strengthening the employed
leg and drawing in the unemployed
one, at the same time raising the body
to an easy, upright position. In order
to acquire position which will lend
itself most readily to the balance and
