IN SHADES OF VIOLET.
Dainty Effects Produced by Blend
ing White and Purple.

Violet is decidedly an odd shade for the
decoration of room, and many might b.
ject to it from the idea of half mourning
which all the shades of purple convey. but
its effect is really lovely.
The woodwork of such room must OF a
necessity be white. for not even the light
est tints serve SO well to set off the beauty
of violet adorDments.
An Englishwoman of taste has recently
fitted up room in her London house in a
way which shows the idea to be extremely
pleasing. The woodwork and furniture
were of white enamel. and dainty frieZe
of purple clemats topped white wall pa
per, gracefully dotted with viOlets. ChlntZ
hangingS with a wiSteria design were hung
at doors and windows, and the drapery for
the bed was violet silk The puff at the
foot of the bed was of the same ms terial,
and it was also used as q canopy hanging
Tor the dressing table. In the corner OF
the mirror of this table delicate spray
oil clematis was painted. two sets of covers
were made for the table, one of linen en-
broidered with vioets in washable silk,
and the other OF violet silk covered with
puff of lace which was held down in sew
eral places by artificial violets tied with
baby ribbon. This latter had valance of
lace fastened to he cover by rOsettes of
violet baby ribbon in-the clusters of which
were several lOng-stemmed violets like
those on top. The furniture of the dress
ing table in a room like this must be either
ivory or silver, in order TO harmonic and
not Overshad0w the violet.
divan in this room was upholstered in
purple velours and heaped with pillows of
various dainty silks IN white and the only
pPrm sSlble color.
Gas and electricity seemed intrusions in
this room. 1t was lighted from silver
candelabra. with dainty violet paper
shades. and a purpe-shaded banquet
lamp, which stood on white enameled
table, on which, besides, were some pretty
white-bound books.
The floor was covered with rug with
very light ground. and that was supple
mented by white goaIskin rugs.
OF course, this same scheme of color can
be carried out much less extensively by
using chintZ AID cretOnne in place of the
silks. In fact, for summer-room, or
room in country house, the less expen-
sive way will give the effect of greater
GOODNESS.
Great care should be taken to use only
those shades which harmoniZe best. and
then one will be sure to have a dainty
room in violet.

my lady Sibyl at Nine. Bontipeau's this
evening"
But Sir Harry did not dance at Nine.
Bontineau's that evening, for when at
nightfall he returned To his quarters he
was met by the disastrous tidings that the
lOng-looked- for and eagerly expected Brit
ish brig loaded with supplies for the
King army had been captured off Lech-
mere's Point by the Yankee rebels.
Il was not many months after this cap
ture that the British evacuated Boston.
When Sir Henry Willing took leave of
Sibyl Merridew he pleaded for some token
of remembrance.

he said in repruachful accents, ''but give
me some TOXIN of yourself, some gage of

But what-what can give you, Sir
HarryP" asked SiDyI. not little touched
and troubled.
"Give me the little slipper you wore that
night we danced together at the Province
House."
"That-that slipper ?" and Sibyl blushed
and raled.
'Yes-ah. you will. you will"
A moments hesitation. then with a
strange smile, half grave, half gay, Sibyl
answered, "Yes. | will."-Nora Perry.

these words Shoemaker Styles hurried off
leaving Sibyl with her slipper still in her
hand. and both OF them quite oblivious of
that important trying-on process.

for Sir Harry Willing, and it was not until

at liberty to take his accustomed saunter

BOUND OVER.

]. D. Goldman, of Fouke, Ark,
who stands charged with the
ht nous crime of outraging his own
daughter, public notice of whose
crime was first given through the
columns of this paper, has been
committed to Jail, without bail, to
await action of the Miller county
grand jury. The commitment was
ordered by Justice w. T. Hamilton,
as a result of an examining trial.
AS previously stated the girl made
confession of the crime to her hus-
band, soon after marriage, which
caused him to desert her, and leave
for parts unknown. The crime only
became public when, on his return,
after long absence, the husband was
arraigned by his former neighbOrs,
for his, seeming, brutal conduct in
deserving his young wife. He then,
for the first time, told the story of
this terrible crime, in explanation
OF his own conduct The arrest of
Goldman followed, and his incarce-
ration in Jail, at this place, is the
result, The case against him is
terribly strong, as developed at the
preliminary examination.
