is to be accomplished. Now is the
time to object, if there are valid
objections, and not after the meet

fashion. had piece of pink gauze
ribbon tied in bow at the bottom of
the plaits. and a piece of the same tied
around my waist and tied in a bow at
the point.
Il had pink Donna Maria scarf, with
a tassel at each end and fastened on the
left shoulder with a very small bouquet

In using denim for floor coverings lay
it over padded paper. which will make it
look much heavier than It really is and
will also deaden the noise that results
from too fiimsy floor covering. l saw
this material used with excellent effect
in really handsome dining-room as a
background for very large eastern rug
that was laid in the center of the room.
If one does not choose to put a floor in
order by staining or painting a border,
use the denim, mating or ingram or
brussels filling in plain colors. If one
large rug is used. it is quite unnecessary
to cover the entire floor with any OF
these materials, except in the mating.
One advantage in using the denim is
that it can go into the washtub and re-
new its cleanliness and what beauty IL
has as often as one chOoses.-N. Y.

Have platter larger than the fish

delicious as planked shad. Serve with
pieces of lemon and garnish with pars-
