Have you ever thought how the back Of
piano may be beautified, / have friend
whose upright was q source Of woe to her
until she hit upon the following plan. Her
piano was placed crossways near . win
dow. the ugly back in full view Of all parts
Of the room. But this woman of fertile
mind covered the wire back with soft
bronze plush, and by means Of tiny three
cornered pockets ranged artistically all
over 10 formed most unique and interest
ing photograph cases which frightened
her room very much Another woman Of
resources covered her piano back with q
piece of tapestry, and still another had
a divan built. just the length of the piano,
and bright hued pillows were piled up,
covering the Cnsighely space.
l hsA most fascinating time at an
orange eoi the other day. What is an
orange tear Well, III tell you In the
first place, when we stepped from our cab
through the sleet and cold into the bright
ly lit hall, We felt that we must surely be
in Florida. The breath of orange blossoms
foated out, to US. We soon found out that
the musicians were sending sweet strains
from behind an orange tree in full bloom.
The lights were all subdued under orange
silk shades, the gowns of the hostess and
girls receiving had a touch Of the color,
and when we wendell our way to the tea
room what a pretty sight met our gaze!
Orange colored ribbons garlanded the
white cloth, and the daintics there con-
sistsI OF shrimp salad with thin bread and
butter, orange ices. orange punch and the
golden, luscious fruit itself The tout en-
semble was charming, and, what is more,
one can give an orange tea, minus the or
ange tree, very cheaply.

month she was born in, the reason for this
being that this particular miss was born
in January, and 20 the garnet is her birth
stone. Now she "detests" garnets and
"adores" turquoisss.
Fancy, then, her disgust when the pres
emit favored one Of her heart sent on her
birthday bracelet composed entirely Of
garnets, begging her to wear it forever, as
it brought good fortune IF l had only
told him my birthday was in December"
she sighed, "then a turquoise ring might
have been mine. Alas, the difference lit

When you go away next summer, DO IL
to mountain, spa or sea, take with you a
white knitted ''sweatcr," such as the boys
wear at football. For the early morning
constitutional, the mountain climb or the
tennis court it is comfortable beyond
words, giving freedom TO the arms and
body that no waist however loose, can.
As sign of the times the dainty gold
and silver cigarette holders now displayed
in the jewelers. windows are conspicuous.
These are especially designed for feminine
tastes-some are of silver, with eIneralds;
some gold, with turquoise or pearls stud
ding the stem. Since the risky and de-
cidedly Objectionable habit of cigarette
smoking is spreading among women it is
certainly better to see these dainty jewel
ed trifes between the lips than the weed
pure and simple, though just as much care
must be taken afterward to eradicate all
traces of smoke from the breath.
