PRETTY BED SPREADS.


nag deed HoasekeePers.
A pretty spread may be made with .
series of squares of linen worked in .
pattern resembling tiles. White linen
Il often used for these spreads, but
quite - pretty are some of the tinted
fabrics 80 popular now-pale blue,
green or fraise, for example-such a.
may be worked with white fax thread
and trimmed with torchon lace and In
sertion. The size Of the larger squares
depend In great measure upon that Of
the spread. and they may be made all
exactly in the same or in different man
ner, according to fancy.
These squares are connected with
bands of insertion, and these are fin
ished with tiny squares Of linen en-
broidered to match the rest. A deep
frill Of lace should be carried round the
edges. Some workers make coverlets
such ~ this Of series of linen doy-
legs, such rs may be bought ready
traced ut the shops. Instead, too, of
connecting them with bands Of inser-
ton, . pretty effect may be obtained
by using them alternately with squares
of drawn threadwork, guipure dart,
or fine crochet. The frill round the
edges, Of course, must correspond.
Another pretty bed spread may be
made of a square Of tinted linen bor-
dered all round with broad hem
about i've inches wide) Of . second
color. Partly on the centersnd partly
on the hem should be traced . flowing
pattern to be worked in white fax
thread, and in the center should b
traced colossal initial or monogram.
Other spreads may be made OF Gre
tonne, the design being accentuated
and partly filled In with stitches Of coli
ored silk and perhaps IN outlining Of
tinseL Large tassels OF parti-colored
threads should be sewn on at intervals
along the sides.-C Chicago Mail.

ARGENT fad among young mothers Il
to have bsby's first shoes made objects
Of beauty and sentimental interest
through the agency Of some metal
preparation that Is poured over the
little shoe. causing it to retain its
shape and showing all those dear little
spots and deus, SO precious In the

Contracts for the New Ward House
to the Hospital.
The assembly committee on public
buildings held brief session yesterday
afternoon to consider communication
from the special commission in charge
of building the new ward house to the
city hospital.
The commissioners informed the COM
mittee that the following contracts had
been let: General, p. Il. Donovan and
son, S24.570; heating ana ventilating to
Allan Black. S.. 40; and plumbing and
gasfitting. to p. V. Dwyer IL Bro.
IS. 7S2. making a total of S34.592.
Mr. Parker stated that Comptroller
MeCardy held that the money was not
available. Mr.. Johnson said that there
was now S2S.0S0 in the fund to the
credit of the new building, even under
Mr.. McCardy's construction of the law.
The issue was on the point whether
the assembly could legally authorize
the letting OF the contracts unless all Of
the necessary money were in the treas
ury. The matter was turned over TO
the corporation attorney for written
opinion, to be delivered to the committee
at an adjourned session next Monday
afternoon.

Bixby's Big Show.

Every nook and corner of the big
stage of the Grand opera house is filled
with the scenery, machinery, crates,
papier mache work, etc., OF Frank l..
BiXby's new production, "Shaft No. g."
These effects, which. by the way, will
require two 60-foot railroad cars for
transportation. will leave St. Paul for
New York city next Tuesday. That
part of the company including the car
penters and other stage employees will
also leave Tuesday for New York. They
are David Martin. the head carpenter;
John Harter. the assistant carpenter;
Frank Bum, master of properties;
E. l.. McWade, chief electrician;
Thomas Mccormick, the treasurer of
the company, and Frank j. Butler. the
agent. An idea of the magnitude of
this production may be had when one
considers that seven carpenters have
been constantly at work on the scenery
and effects since March 10. The COM
pany begin rehearsals Aug. IL, and Mr..
Bixby will inaugurate his season in
Philadelphia Aug. Is. Prof. MeyerwitZ,
the famous electrician. has made sue
cessful tests of the electric effects, which
will undoubtedly present some startling
surprises in melodrama. As the scenery
has all been built OH the stage of the
Grand and to fit the Grand, the produc-
ton in this city will no doubt be perfect.
The date OF the appearance here Is
Sept. 80.
