THE Boys OWN ROOM.
How 60 Furnish 1t In Pretty, Convenient

HOW 10 ufnlnn ~ ~ as,st|f
and Economical style.
All sorts of graceful notions are being
advanced for the benefit of the girls, but
somehow the lads of the family seem TO
be in a measure overlooked when IL
comes TO the furnishing of their own
special rooms. This room should be not
merely a place for him to sleep in and
keen his triptraps in, but n CHEEKY look
ing apartment about which fingers de-
cided air of coziness. 1t is not hard
cash that one needs TO furnish the grow
ing man with a pleasant corner in the
home nest as much as taste and ingenu-
ity. Here is a description of one lads
snuggery as given in Golden Days:
The single bed in the little apartment
was as snowy as the one in the guest
chamber, and yet the counterpane and
shams were pieces of handiwork accom-
plished at odd moments. Back against
the wall stood a Frenchy bit Of furniture
which no one would have dreamed had
for its foundation prosaic packing box.
Inside the box carpenter had fitted two
shelves for boyish odds and ends. Top
and sides were then covered with blue
silesia and finished with draperies Of
swiss. The curtains at the front swung
from small brass rod, thus Offering
easy access to the shelves. Just over the
gay little toilet stand hung an old mir
ror. A cloud of muslin fell from big
hook in the wall above the glass, tha
drapery being kept out in canopy shape
by means Of barrel hoop twined with
blue.
The manicure set, cuff and collar box,
tray for knickknacks and toilet set show
ed at a glance that this lad was daily

THE WOMEN OF GREECE.

Conspicuous by Their Absence In City
Strects--Day Laborers In the Country.
An American yisitingAGreeee for the first
time Is struck, sooner or later, by a certain
dullness in the street life of its towns,
which il may take him some little time TO
define and trace 10 its real cause. At
length and suddenly the fact comes home
TO him that there are few, IL any, women
visible among the foot passengers No
wonder, he reflects, that the streets should
appear dull to him, shorn as they are of all
the variety that woman's presence and
dress ever lends TO the thoroughfares of
countries farther west.
In Greece it is only toward evening, and
then for but n brief period, that the fair
sex take an outing, unless the pressure OF
some urgent business should compel them
TO ilit rapidly through the tnrong of men
who at other times monopolize the streets
Nor will foreigner meet with them serv-
ing I'm the shops, the restaurants or the
cafes; they will still be conspicuous 10y
their absence. In fact, unless he visits
them in the privacy OF their homes he will
scarcely do more than catch an occasional
glimpse Of them at the upper windows Of
some private dwelling house or shop, where
when the weather Is seasonable they will
sit reading and sewing and craning their
necks out To watch the passersby below
But Go quit the towns, where IL will be
seen that women play but n small part in
public life, aud Co turn to the rural dis
tricts Of Greece. Here woman takes more
active part in everyday life; she IL is who
draws the water, brings in the wood that
the men have felled in the forest, or who
pluckily earns her wages as day laborer
I'm the maize or cornheld. In the burning
summer, in the icy winter, she is ever TO
the fore, working working, with her veil
hanging loosely over her head, ready to be
folded across her mouth should strange
man approach. IL is matter for thought
how widespread even now among the coun-
try districts - tAis old custom Of yelling
the lower part Of the face at the approach
of an unknown member Of the opposite

learning the importance of daintiness.
Over in one angle of the room a three
cornered shelf fitted into the alcove.
This was curtained to match the dress
ing case. Behind the curtains coat,
trousers and other boyish apparel were
hung. A battered old rocker had been
brought down from the attic and given
a coat Of paint, then furnished up, with
seat and headrest OF Turkish toweling.
One panel of the wall was decked out
with mementoes of boyish larks, while a
tiny table, covered with Turkish towel
ing, held stack of well thumbed books.
Now the youth who owns this room is
not a girl-boy by any means. He de-
lights in baseball, football, cricket and
bicycle riding; is in fact thorough boy
and little gentleman as well.
