A Dainty Apartment.

A pink room in a handsome home.
which is known as the rosebud room,
has the walls and ceiling done in plas-
tico. Exquisite pink rosebuds are scat
tered over a creamy background. Plas-
tico work Is very effective and many new
houses are being finished in that way,
because 1t is so much less expensive than
frescoing. In the room mentioned above
the curtains are of white lace over pink
silk. A handsome brass bedstead. cano-
pied with white lace over pink silk,
cheval. dressing-table, large easy chair
upholstered In tapestry and two rattan
rockers with cushions Of tapestry, com

On the richly carved mantel, which is
draped with an exquisite hand-painted
scarf. stands a most beautiful clock.
which is attached to a tiny easel OF
dull gold. 1t resembles a pink wild rose
and Is OF pink enamel. the face of the
clock being In the centre of the rose.
The hands are Of gold. while the fig
ures are Of pink enamel. Nothing could
be more exquisite.

Bedding for Babies,

Babies of the last generation were
raised on beds Of down. Now science,
fashion and common sense prescribe
curled hair for the first pillow as well
as the mattress. This material affords
better circulation, an even and healthy
temperature is maintained and It is be-
lieved that the brain gets a chance de-
MED the infant who is put to sleep on
feathers and air-proof down. Very many
parents discard pillows altogether, and in
the interest of animal perfection the
dimpled, double-isted creature is put to
sleep on a level with the puppies and
pussy cats. No linen is used n the up
to-date layette. The sheets and pillow
slips are made of cambria; the little
swaddling bands are knitted or woven
wool and the bands OF the barrow coats
and flannel petticoats. instead of being
clumsy folds OF linen or muslin, are
sheer nainsook. delightful 10 the touch.

DUTY AT LAST.

1t seems singular that n Democratic
House OF Representatives, with more
than n tw, .irds majority. should be
throwing up its cap and rejoicing over
the fact that after a weeks trial 1t has
been enabled to muster a quorum and to
break a deadlock on a question forming
one of the most important planks In the
Democratic platform of principles on
which the party claimed and won the
votes OF the people.
Yesterday a sufficient number of the
two hundred and thirteen straight Demo-
Gratis elected to the present House were
In their seats ready to act with their
own party to muster one hundred and
seventy-six votes. so that the special
order fixing the limit OF time on the
debate on the Wilson bill and providing
for the vote on lam. 20 was at last
adopted.
And this result vas secured on Jack
sons anniversary. a day which makes
men feel more Democratic in memory
OF the example OF the greatest Democrat
Of the Republics history.
Was this an honor to andrew Jack
son, the mar OF pure Democratic mind
and iron Will? or ought Jacksonian
Democracy to have been Inundated by
the fact that II was regarded az matter
OF rejoicing because after a weeks de-
lay Democratic Congressman holding
an important trust had at last rec. gn zed
their duty to their party and to the
nation?
At all events the vote has been taken,
and now there ought to be no further
delay and Boutelle ought to be kept
bottled up.

SAVIOR OF roses. 1t was given, the hostess
said' by adding the Turkish preserved
rose leaves and a little lemon Juice to a

Is very strong, should he stirred in with
a spoon a few at a time until the right
naVor is given. Half a can should flavor
enough punch for eight persons. Ada
the lemon Juice a little at a time after
using the leaves. The punch should be
Of extreme sweetness.
