GUEST ROOM VERSES.
A Charming Conceit for a Pretty BE
Cha Der.


A Charming Conceit for Pretty Bed
Cha mber.
The finishing touch nowadays to the
room which Is devoted to ones guests is
the verse intended to invite OF inspire
sweet repose.
The couplet is etched, embroidered or
painted, preferably the latter, in blue, sill
yer or gold, upon satin ribbon about four
inches wide and long enough to take the
lines
Gold lettering on a white ribbon is the
style of this little conceit which 1 have In
mind, and which hangs over the head of
Louis XIV bed, which is resplendent In en-
broidered linen sheets and cover of gui-
pure spread over rose. That it stands in
a room belonging to a very smart lady in
deed, is matter, perhaps, OF little i'm
portance. The lines, which are worth copy
lug, read as follows, verbatim ct literatim:
Sleep, sweet, within this quiet room,
0 thou. whoe'er thou art,
And let no mournfui yesterdays
Disturb thy quiet heart
Nor let TO o-morrow scare thy rest
With dreams Of coming iii;
Thy Maker is thy changeless friend,
HIS love surrounds thee Still.
Forget thyEeif and all the world;
Putouteacb feyerish light;
The stars are watching overhead,
Sleep, sweet. Good night Good night
The lines are very pretty and most ap-
propnate. one Is bound to acknowledge
AS matter of fact, they were written by
sister of Mr.. C. p. Huntington, Mrs
Gates, whose verses, Your SiIssiou,'' were
very popular at one time.
Possibly one may have happy knack at
rhyming ard be able 10 iIdite lines that
please one hetter, or, failing in this, there
is the Book on Quot ations," which may
furnish forth verses grave, gay, or sooth
ing, as the case may be. The mistress of
large mansion, where bedrooms are num-
bered by the half score may find occupation
for many an idle hour in preparing these
little banners-we viii call them, until
some one has invented a better name
The ''time-card" is another necessity in
every well appointed guest chamber. This.
too, may be prepared in a similar way to
the banner already described. Upon a
delicate shade OF ribbon, with gold paint or
India ink, make the three words at the left
side in odd, struggling leaters, Breakfast,
Luncheon" Dinner" one under the
other, leaving line opposite each on which
you atterward add the time of each meal.
In country house it is well to add Mails
Received" =" malls Sent"
Any little ornamentation in the way OF
spray of flowers, cupid, or a flight of
birds is easily added with brush or needle
The time-card can be suspended from the
wall by little brass rod and chain, or
simply by brass ring, skillfully concealed
by bow OF ribbon.
The artistic housewife. will. of course,
have due regard to the color motif of her
room, and make all extra touches in the
way OF time-caTds aud banners correspond.

TOLD THEIR Age BY PENNIES
Birthday Reception For the Benefit
of st. MichaeIs and ALI Angels.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barber VIII Receive
Their Friends on Their Yacht.
Spring Market at Metzerott.

The birthday reception given at o'clock
last evening at No. 732 Twenty-first street
for the benefit of ST. MichaelsandA All A ngeIs
was most enjoyable entertainment to all
present. The attendance was good not
withstanding the bad weather and the
heartiness with which all entered into the
spirit of the occasion was all the more
marked ON that account.
The house was decorated with flowers
OF every description while most hospitable
appearance was effected by having large
open fires brightly burning in each room.
Each person on entering deposited with
the doorkeeper the small silk bag previously
sent them for this purpose and in which the
exact number of pennies corresponding
to their respective ages had been deposited.
This plan was what gave the name OF birth
day reception to the entertainment.
The success of the evening, and in fact
the entire entertainment, was due to the
untiring work in this respect accomplished
by Miss Katherine Lowndes and the Misses
Murray and Edith Thomas. The ice cream
table was in charge OF Mrs. Nesbit, as
sisted by Miss Roy. Miss Evans and Miss
Caperton had charge of the cake table,
and Mrs. Evans presided at the straw
berry table. These ladies had a general
supervision of the flower booth
During the evening most elaborate
and enjoyable musical programme under
the direction of Mr.. Reed was rendered.
Among those who took part we've Mr.. Hub
bard 7. Smith, who sang a number Of
times; Mr.. Keeling. who, with Mr. Thomp-
son and Miss Addie Kleinschmidt, were
the other vocalists OF the evening. Miss
De Shields instrumental music was greatly
enjoyed, as was that of Mr. Reed.
