Is tho Rule One Woman Gives as a Way
to Keep Girl.
There is no room in the house which
should be more carefully planned than
the servants room. The guest cham
Der does not approach it Importance,
for guests may come and guests may
go and the household survive, but on
the staying of the servant depends the
family welfare. There that potentate
must be wooed to remain by spreading
all the attractions possible before her.
This does not mean that the Persian
rug and the teakwood cabinet should
be brought into her quarters. But it
means that she should have a room
flooded with sunshine and airy, for she
is not at liberty to roam from one part
of the house to another in search of
these things. 1t means that she must
have Il room as coy and homelike as
the time being.
After sunlight and air neatness is the
first requisite. A stained and varnish-
ed floor is better even than one covered
with mating. A good-sized, simple,
but pretty, rug should lie before her
bureau, another in front of the wash
side the bed. All these may be easily
time will keep the floor from being
cold.
The walls should not be glaring
white. Light-colored, dainty paper,
with deep frieze and picture mold
ing need not be expensive, and will
give the room a cheerful appearance.
Two Or three good photographs framed
in oak would not be much for the fam
lily to sacrifice to this apartment, and
might be the means of keeping good
girl from being won away by unscrupu-
lous housekeeper or a follower" Hol-
land shades and little hangings of
dimity at the windows, pretty bureau
and washstand cover, a frilled splasher,
and dainty little cover for the sewing
table will also be help toward the
same desirable ends.
The bedstead should be of painted
iron, and it should be provided with as
comfortable mattres es and bedding as
that of any other member of the fam
lily. A girl who has worked hard all
day is very susceptible to the charms
of comfortable bed. The rest of the
furniture may be of the lightest and
cheapest sort of so-called oak. AS long
as it is not delapidated and worn-look.

Put shelf for some books, couple
of blossoming geraniums in the win

see if powers and principalities can

Ribbon Sashes.
The woman who follows the fashions
Of the moment finds the ribbon sash an
indispensable addition to her toilet.
Sashes are worn with blouses, pointed
bodices, and beneath open-fronted jack
cts, and in this case are tied on one side
quite near the front. In this position
they do not interfere with the set of
the coat. The black satin and MORE
sashes for general wear are wide, and
as rule they are equally wide in the
delicate tints for evening toilets. bit |

Not only does the slender woman af- |
