How to Make An Interior Dainty
and Attractive.
Do Not Despise Pretty. Artistic Things
Because They are Cheap The Ca
prices of Fashion.

Aesthetics is showing itself in architecture
as well as in what is inside of the archi-
tect;:re. An attractive exterior presupposes
an attractive interior, iustas one expects to
find pretty woman witty woman and
there is hardly plausible excuse for allowing
your home to look rigidiy plain and to be Of
& bad complexion. You can fix up the couture
with dormer-window or two, and give it an
embroidered apron in the shape of an artistic
porch, and fancy pocket will do for pretty
bay window, which adds to both the outside
and inside of the house. These innovations
are comparatively inexpensive, and return
big interest in Joy and comfort.
And SO it IS with tho interior. You do not
require costly hangings, rich paintings and
bronzes and inlaid furniture and oriental
carpets to make your rooms a dream of
elegance and luxury. By utilizing the things
at hand that will tend to simplicity and har-
mony you may be able to deceive the trained
eye of your opulent caller into believing tina
your little drawing room is the very extrava-
ganee of luxury. The combination of utility
and beauty is much better than beauty alone,
and if you must have wood-box in the parlor
make divan of it. Studied negligence is
always effective, and an artistic hand can
transform room within minute to look
like graceful, ingenious girl instead of
stif-spined, uncommunicative spinster. Place
a couple of chairs in social relation to each
other, as though their late occupants had
been indulging in an easy, dclighting tete-
a-tete; give the window-curtain magical
touch that will break its straight lines and
show bit of charming vista without; be
careful of carelessness and affect unaffected
ness.

cause they are cheap, The Lady Of Milo is

Funny Mishap of a Pretty Z
American Girl.

The year does not matter, but it was long
time before the oldest of you, my young
friends, was born, that found myself on the
Cascade Mountains, or rather in the foot
hills in Washington Territory-it is now
free state-and not far from the Columbia
river, the largest stream flowing into the
Pacific from North or South America.
I was out hunting gold with partner, who
went by the name Of ''Doc." If he had any
other name never heard it. but I know he
was brave, patient fellow, though he knew
nothing about medicine, as the name might
imply. Doc and I found no gold, but in the
search we ran short of provisions, and as it
was hundred miles to the nearest white
settlement, at Fort Vancouver, we decided
to see if we could purchase food from an In
dian tribe, whose camp fires we had noticed
for several days, though they did not come
near US.
We knew the tribe to be the peaceful Flat
heads, so, feeling there was no danger, we
picked up our camp outfit lit did not over
burden us) and started in the direction of the

the circular ruf1e now so fashionable, and
this has small appliqued pieces of the lace.
The double skirt and pointed will be most
worn this Spring, and the ruffle about the
bottom of the waist is only suitable for small
hips and slender figures. The long coats are
made up as much in silk as in cloth. The
crepon is decidedly the most popular of all
wool materials. 1t is light in weight and fine
and pretty in texture, comes in all colors,
and is suitable for every kind of function. A
combination of black crepon, jet and MORE
silk is very effective. Louis XVI reigns in
everything. Flaring bows appear everywhere,
and in the oldest of places.
The costumes this season are exceedingly
stunning, especially the street gowns. The
pleasant Spring weather coming so early has
made the streets look very gay, and this sea-
son the women have elected to dress very
conspicuously. For evening wear some new
designs in decollete bodices are seen; one
very handsome one was for white satin
toilet. Tulle was put on the waist in full
plaits, very broad at the top and tapering at
the waist line into tiny point. The tulle
was on back and front of the waist in this
fashion and had a very beautiful effect. 1t
was held in place by broad cap wire
bent in and ont and sewed on the tulle to
form the plaits.
Waist coats and shirt waists arc to be seen
with ali the cloth suits, and instead of the
coat being open the whole length as last year,
it is now double-breasted, and longer skirted
than formerly. Some of them are cut so they
can be worn open or closed and short skirts
are used entirely with them. The new gowns
are cut entirely different from those of last
year and to remodel an old bodice or skirt,
it is necessary to almost cover the waist at
least with ruff1es or lace trimming.
1t is somewhat early to carry parasols and
! doubt if many of those l have seen in the
chops Will ever be carried on the streets, or
even in carriages or at the seashore. But
they are certainly most tempting and beauti-
full. Those of the taffeta silk with rows of
lace, one laid fiat upon the parasol, and the
other hanging full around the edge, are very
dainty and beautiful, while the plain silk with
the chiffon ruffiing with a slight trimming
are enticing to any one. A good way to util-
ize old parasols that are plain and old fash
Toned and with the long walking stick
handles that were so much in vogue few
seasons ago, is to buy chiffon to match your

marble or bronze. But let it be impressed
upon you right here that statuettes of the
more pretentious proportions do not pose in
the windows of homes where good taste pre-
walls. You may see them thus in houses Of
wealth, but there is very decided distinc-
ton between wealth and culture, and your
criterion of "monied aristocracy" is not
prototype for your emulation. A very rich
man may relish poor literature and indulge
vicious appetites.

It is not well to follow the caprices OF
fashion in decorating your home. In the
matter of wall paper, for instance, take into
consideration the size and location of the
room. If it receives the cold north light use
u warm-tinted paper, while gray paper may
look better in a room with southern ex-
posure. A delicate, retiring wall enlarges a
small room, while a fiaring bold design con-
tracts the apartment unto sufTocation.

AMI fulled as to stand out more from a long,
sl6 ling shoulder The overskirti is an acknowl-
edSa fact One of the new colors is called
cyc ,men. It is blush mauve, a peculiar
tint. between sherry and magenta. Cling
ham are to be worn more than ever. Some
come with a strip of the crinkled effect in
shades of green, violet, tan and blue. The
dotted ginghams are novelties. One saw was
pale blue with plain glossy finish and three
rows of white lace insertion worn in the
goods about four inches apart and gradually
narrowing in width; plain goods of the same
material come for extra use if desired.
Linen suiting is novelty for the summer
season. Some of it looks like cheviot and
can be made up in tailor fashion, trimming
with braid of linen and large pearl buttons.
Dotted swiss is shown in many new designs,
many of the Frenchiest looking patterns be-
ing on the Dresden order. Glace silk is used
for the foundation. Bright scarlet-dotted
swiss is selling well. Valenciennes lace is
used in great profuson. The chambrays are
also shown in beautiful patterns. Pique will
be worn great deal this summer, and duck
suits will be more in favor than last season.
The spring wraps that are shown are very
curiously shaped and do not think would be
of much value to any one whodesired to secure
warmth. They are made in all sorts of ma
terial and fit quite closely to the neck but
come only in a point or round over the
shoulders and in front. In most instances
they do not make any attempt to cover the
sleeve. They can of course be made very
dressy with lace, net and jet, and are becom-
ing to anyone.
There are so many new, odd and startling
shapes in hats that it is hard to decide what
the prevailing style is likely to be. Eccen-
tricty is the leading motive I should judge.
The straws are in all colors as well as shapes,
and some daring combinations are essayed.
The open work straws are again to be worn
and more gold spangles are used this year in
hat trimmings than ever before; even the
crowns, feathers and laces are all spangled.
The variety of hats this season is SO great
that no excuse is left for anyone not having
becoming hat, no matter how little they may
have TO expend upon it.

But, as the epigramatical Ben Johnson put
it, 81 have found you an argument, 1 am not
obliged to find you an understanding" This
decorative idea is like reading Milton; it is
not so much in what is expressed as the train
of thought which follows the expression. If
you are of an artistic turn, in ever so small a
degree, you can do artistic things; for all the
machinery of Parnassus cannot make poet
of man who has not the original poetic stuff
out of which to build.

MISS FRANCES E. w111ARI

the National Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was formed and, being appointed
secretary she set her powers of organization
at work. with the result that she has built
up magnificent moral and social reforma-
tory agency, with membership extending
over the entire Union. Her struggles and
her triumphs, her sacrifices for the sake of
the work, her fidelity to and useful services
in the interests of her sex everywhere, are too
we'll known to need recapitulation. The Wo-
mans Temperance Temple in Chicago a
mammoth building, is the focus of her
activity and the headquarters of the army
she directs. She has demonstrated herself
born leader and the good she has accom-
plished is incaculable.
Although Miss Wizards home is still in
Evanston, SO active has she been in recent
years in the dual crusade against the DRAM
shop and in favor of woman suffrage, that
she has had comparatively little time to
cultivate home felicities. For several years,
she has addressed an average of one meeting
day. In single year, she has travelled
over all the States and Territories in this
propaganda, covering $4,000 miles. In
hardly any recent year has she spent more
than three weeks at home. The duties Of
authorship, the lecture platform and the
work of the Union, absorb her whole ener-
gies: yet she finds time to cultivate womanly
friendships is intensely womanly and takes
keen interest in all that relates to domes-
ITCHY. Motherhood is to her a sacred thing,
and although, like Joan of Arc she has
devoted her own life to an unending battle,
in which she has already passed twenty of
her best years, she holds that the outcome of
all her labors is for the sake of the mothers
of America. From her mother, whom she
has worshipped all her life, she has learned
the secret of growing old gracefully" She
carries home atmosphere and influence
with her wherever she goes, is a bright and
even merry talker with nice sense of humor,
loves gossip and a cup of tea, and is never
happier than when in the midst of family
life, whether as guest or a relative. One Of
her warmest friends is Lady Henry Somerset,
the leader of the temperance forces in Eng
land, whom she visited not long ago at East
nor Castle, when in that country. The two
are devoted to each other, and when Lady
Somerset was in America recently the ties Of
affection between them was so strong that
they seemed inseparable.

1t is custom Of The French young woman
to accept no presents from men, even from
tiancee, except flowers. This prevents obli-
cations and any possible entangements, for
the flowers, being perishable, can have no
lasting claim, and can only be construed as an
evanescent and sweet-scented bit of etiquette.

The day of crazy work. is past, but here
is something that you may say is of that
nature. Admitting that it is, there is such
real method in the madness that it can be
excused, and if you try it you will be pleased
with results. When new dress is made, or
waist. or any garment of handsome material
silk, velvet brocade-save every scrap, no
matter how small, all of one kind for what
eyer is designed-single sofa pillow, cushion
or whatsoever. Put these pieces on founda-
ton as the old crazy-patch work was-if
of velvet let the edges just touch each other;
If silk, overlap or turn under, haste care
fully, and overland them to lining with silk
thread of same shade as pieces. Now mark
with chalk or whatever you can make fine,
legible point with, a design of vines-ivy, pas
sion-fower, Virginia-creeper, or whatever
you ike-scatter the leaves over corners
where pieces come together and if the patch
foundation is to large at any place run leaves
over it, thus breaking it up. Every line and
leaf outline with flosel in any shade desired.
Gold color is very effective. When completed
the closest inspection will not disclose the
secret that the foundation is not u whole
piece, and the small patches that would other
wise have been consigned to the rag-bag had
made that handsome piece OF work. Black
and gold make very artistic sofa pillows.

He Knows al.

Fresno, April 13.-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of
William Wootton, the wealthy
rancher of Hills Valley, has not been
cleared away, nor has any light been
thrown on the subject by late inves-
LEGATIONS by officers and citizens,
Professor w. A. Sanders, whose
name is coupled in questionable
way in the matter and who has Sc
cured a deed for the finest part of
Wootton's lands, came to Fresno this
morning and was closeted with the
Sheriff for some time.
What passed between them is not
known, but Professor Sanders
talked willingly to persons outside
aud said that although he was in an
unpleasant situation so far as public
opinion went, yet he was certain that
the mystery would ultimately be
cleared up in such manner as to
leave no suspicion on him.
He further said it was in his power
to explain why Wootton disappeared,
but he would not do so till the pro
per time came and if that time never
came, his lips would be sealed for
ever,
