prefer not to have them raised at all.
Modernized cupboards are also in de-
mand, one of the handsomest being IL
Illustrated here. The upper door was
removed and shelf cut out, leaving an
open space between the lower and
upper sections, and two doors with
large plate-glass panels inclosing the
remaining shelves. The lower doors
were left intact, and brass hinges of
elaborate pattern serve as ornaments.
The open space is lined with plate
mirrors, which reflect its silver and
glass contents. The interior is painted
a rich cream tint, against which deli
cate china shows to advantage.
One carver has sent out ten new cup
boards in the last two years, princi-
pally to inland cities. They have all
been different in detail and splendidly
handsome specimens. But the old cup
boards can be made equally beautiful
at less expense, and for some reason
their very age makes them more de-
sirable than the strictly modern affairs.

any other material, the shape you de-
sire, the next thing is to tack alternate
rows of different colored satin ribbons
as close together as possible, beginning
at the top of the lining, and cutting
the ribbon off into length as you finish
each row. Then commence to darn the
two-colored ribbons in and out, over
the dark and under the light one way,
and reversing the order in the next
row, so that squares are formed. A
pretty handkerchief sachet could be
made of blue satin ribbon and silver
braid of the same width. Slippers
would look well in black satin ribbon
and gold braid. A pretty pincushion
could be made of rather wide satin rib
bon all one color, with trimmings of
lace and bows at the corners. A large
bag would be effective with tartan and
black ribbon for the bottom part, and
plush to match one of the colors in the
plaid at the top, finishing off with cord
and tassels or wide satin strings.
The sachet in the sketch is made of
blue satin ribbon and silver braid.
Four corners form the front, and the
back could be plain, or to match the
front, according to taste. Each corner
should be bound with ribbon, and a
hook and loop should be placed under
the bow. A frill of lace goes all round
and bows trim the corners.-St. Louis

Dainty Table Appointments.

However simple the bill of fare, the
table appointment should always be
clean and inviting. With little care
directed toward removing spot when
it appears, tablecloth may be used to
serve for several occasions, and remain
spotlessly clean; while rumpled nap
kin or a coffee stain upon the table
cloth is accountable for many an I'M
eaten breakfast and many sick head
ache. The center of the table should
always be occupied with some refresh
ing plant or flower. 1t may be fern
or slender rose in its swaying vase,
but whatever it is it will act as an APP
petizer and tonic. A crisp bowl of let
tuce or a dish of fresh radishes helps
out the effect of the floral decoration.

ABOUT YOUR CALLS.
Visiting Card Etiquette as Explained by
Ruth Ashmore.

Visiting Card Etiquette as Explained by
Ruth Ashmore.
know it to be true that when you
came to town you had for visiting
card faintly-tinted stiff one on which
was written your name, "Elinor Smith, {"
in fine Italian hand heavily shaded,
writes Ruth Ashmore in Ladies'
Home journal. Fortunately for you,
your hostess saw this and kept you
from making a faux pas. In the place
of these rose-tinted ones, happily con-
signed to their proper resting place, the
wastebaSket, you now have rather thin
white cards, almost square, with, as you
the oldest daughter, and as your mid
die name is your mothers maiden one,
Miss Cholmondeley Smith," engraved
upon them. Your visiting card repre-
sents you, and consequently it must be
in good taste. This form is desirable
because, seeingit, old friends who knew
your mother as pretty Elinor Chol-
mondeley" will recognize you as her
daughter and make an effort to show
you some special courtesies.
When you make your visits you leave
your card with the lady of the house
and for each daughter who is in society.
When you cannot go to reception
or a tea your cards represent you.
When you do go you leave your card
either with a servant who holds out
silver salver for it or you put it on the
table prepared for cards. This is done
because, seeing many people, your
friend may not remember all who were
there, and the little bits of thin paste
board tell of her visitors and warn her
of those to whom she owes either a
personal visit or a return card. You
called one day on friend who lives
very quietly, and who opened the door
for you. For her card must be left
also and as you are bright girl you
can either do it before her, reminding
her that you do not. intend to let her
forget you came to see her, or you can
leave it in the hall when you are
alone, for your hostess does not accom-
pany you further than the drawing
room door.

CORNER cuPsoARDs.
The Style of Forty Years Ago IS the Most
Popular just Now.

Popular just Now.
Corner cupboards are such eXtrava-
gantly popular pieces of furniture just
now that bric-a-brac dealers not only
buy them readily, but send out and
canvass the country in hopes of securing
good specimens.
The style of forty years ago is excel
lent, with small panes of glass fitting
the shelf space, solid brass knob for the
upper door, and brass keyholes in the
lower section. But they do not always
appear to advantage, because frequent
ly the owner has tried to do the cup
board over herself, and daubed its sur
face over with villaiuous red paint.
The quality of the wood can be deter
mined by scraping off little paint. II
it shows reddish pink it is cherry; If
light color it is imitation. The idea is
now to preserve the original design as
nearly as possible, and to this end little
renovation is made other than polish
ing. The windows are left intact, an
extra band of molding added on the
top and supports placed underneath to
raise it about four inches from the floor.
Claw feet, with carved apron, sur
mounted by a narrow molding, are a
wonderful improvement without in the
least detracting from the coveted air OF
antiquity.
Doing over an old cupboard is very
inexpensive. The article itself costs at
the least from IS to s12. To polish it
alone amounts to 81 more, and, adding
claw feet and holdings, brings it up to
a total of s2s. These prices, of course,
depend 70 some extent on the locality,
