The town was once for a few weeks

with deep valance to match, blue silk

top Of the valance. Not far from this
stands an oak chair, with cushioned
seat and head rest Over the floor is
thrown a white fur mat.
Across an angle of the wall is placed
dressing table of maple furnished with
number of drawers and a large oval

swiss, edged, like the curtains, with a
ruffie, is arranged with artistic effect

disposed in rosette and fastened in the
angle Of the wall just below the ceiling,
and rosettes are also formed at the

to the floor and is held back trifle at
each side behind the table. A foot rest
is placed in front of the table, and over
it is a cover of silk that is finished at
the end with tassel fringe to correspond
with that on the trunk.
At the left of the dressing table is an
other window curtained like the one first
described. An oval cheval glass stands
some distance from the window and
proves at once practical and effective.

ARTISTIC FURNISHING.
An Ideal Boudoir That Is as Simple as 1t
Attractive.


Attractive.
In the mind of the homemaker the
prevailing idea as regards the furnish
ing Of the boudoir should be that of
daintiness. The sumptuous is left for the
drawing room. An ideal boudoir for a
young lady, as depicted in The Delin-
Gator, has the floor covered with old blue
carpet filling, the walls tinted blue and
the ceiling cream white.
At the right side of the room is a
chiffonier of birdseye maple, with brass
trimmings and an oval mirror. On top
is spread lace cover over blue silesia.
A window is hung with white swiss
curtains edged with ruffie of the
same and held back with white cot
ton cords and tassels. A lambrequin of
swiss, also edged with a ruffle, falls
over the top Of the curtain. At each
side the lambrequin is caught to the win
dow frame and formed i'll rosette, be-
low which cascade effect is produced.
At the lower sash are arranged sash cur
tains of swiss, trimmed at the front
edges with insertion. The sash curtains
are adjusted on brass rods at top and
bottom.
On the floor, under the window,
stands small trunk, which is disguised
as an upholstered ottoman. Over it is

admitted that it was not a stopping place

everything was on time something else

Finally six or seven young chaps dared
each other to go forward and find out
what was wrong. They found the engi-
