THE HOME.
The Artistic Fetch,

There are many things we grow weary
of hearing about, for no particular rea-
son except from the tiresomeness of rope
tition. The Midway Plaisanoe was one
of these. Trilby is another. But when
we shake our heads over the conversations
al frequency of the word artistic, we are
not moved by monotony alone.
Never was an expression SO abused and
misrepresented. 1t is made to do duty
for stylish and fashionable, and often,
alas flor that for which eccentricity would
be a mild term. In the hands of the taste
less it is stretched to cover such a multi
Jude of chromatic sins that charity cannot
hope TO vie with it. 1t is expected to
reach over the outside of bilious-hued
houses, and interiors of pumpkin-colored
hangings and dingy effects in walls and
furnishings. This, too, when the natu-
raj man loves fresh bright coloring as he
loves the sunlight. Where is the baby
that does not crow at bit of scarlet,
or the maturer one who doesn't revel
Spring?
We can't all hope to understand colors
we'll enough to originate startling effects
in them any more than we can all ex-
pect to sing like Patti or paint like REM
brands. But we can all-or nearly all
strive for it, and we can make our homes
pretty, and wholesome, and cheerful If
we will only give over CHASTITY color tones
that we really do not like, but that we
hope we are proving ourselves artists by
using. True artists have made some
wonderful revelations in a decorative
way in subdued coloring of late that we
all ought to be grateful for, but that is
no reason why we should make them
sorry by initiating their explorations
| when we don't know how. The woman
of the moment seems to think 1T is as
easy to be ''artistic" as it is to be clean,
and as bad not to be as it is to swear.
We wish she would change her mind.
In one way it is worse to have the
home take on the doleful artistic attempt
than to have the toilet do so. For when
a woman who is trying to look like a
Van Dyck canvas and only succeeds in
resembling tea store chrome, takes her
walks abroad, we can generally look
some other way, but when we are hedged
in by four walls of detected decorative
failure, there is no help for our poor
eyes. We can only wish that when Vogue
was stirring up this artistic furore, she
had limited herself to some barbario
spot where the inhabitants do not dwell
in houses or wear any clothes worth men

The interior decorations of a room
m ust be all finished before the floor is
laid, then it must be Immediately dressed
and smoothed. If this is not done, waves
and planer marks will show when the
finish is applied. TO accomplish this
and cover the white in the grain Of the
wood, the use of filler is necessary, of
which, however, no more should be ap-
piled than can be cleaned off before
hardening. After thoroughly removing
all the extra and unnecessary filler it
must be allowed to dry eight or twelve
hours. The next stage is that of apply
ing two coats of wax. This comes pre-
pared and should be put on with wool
en- cloth and the first coat allowed to dry
for about an hour, having been spread
on as thin as possible. One pound Of
wax should cover three hundred square
feet. Never use bees wax, for this does
not harden readily, and will soften in
warm weather. If the room is to be
used at once. it is hest to leave the floor
after the first coat of wax until just be-
fore it is to be used, then apply the Sec
ond coat of wax and polish. To do the
latter successfully a weighted brush is
quite a necessity. This should be run
over the floor once week, across the
grain first, then with it. To give the
| final gloss, place piece OF carpet under
| the brush. On spots where there is more
| such as in front of doorways or fire
places, this prepared wax can be applied
without having to go over the entire
room. The advantages of this wax are
several 1t is easily applied, it is not
expensive, it will not darken the wood
and grow sticky like oil; neither will it
show scratchs and heel marks like shell
lac, varnish or hard oil.
If you have an old floor to deal with
which has been treated with oil or var
nish, and has been allowed to become
| very dirty and rough, the old finish
should be removed with steel shavers
and then finished as new floor
! When floor which was properly laid
and finished needs cleaning again our
wants are supplied-this time by a re
storer that comes in liquid form and a
quart of which is enough to keep an Or
binary sized floor in good condition for
one year. Never use turpentine on a
waxed floor, as it will Invariably re,
move the wax, and never use soap and
water unless on kitchen floor, and then
it should have coat Of the above men
toned restorer once every three months.
There is a prejudice in the minds OF
some people against these floors because
they are considered hard to care for, but
if they are properly laid they must give
entire satisfaction and much enjoyment.
The trouble lies in the fact that eight
out of ten are improperly finished. =

piece went on she realized that she was
making hit-a far greater one than
she had ever made beforehand. young
as she was, she was enough of an artist
to appreciate the Importance of keeping
restraint on herself and not OVERRIDING
her role.
She was looking forward to certain
scene in the last act-a scene which she
had rehearsed with much delight, and
in which she firmly expected to make a
great impression. Billy, who had been
waiting with some anxiety for the same
scene, came down and took seat in
proscenium box, and as the child stood
in the wings waiting for her cue she
saw him smiling encouragement to her.
The scene represented a barren, wave
washed rock near the coast of Ireland,
and on this rock was standing the vir-
tuous heroine, just where she had been
left by the villain. The lights grew
dim, the moon arose from beyond the
scene, and the Philadelphia quartet,
stationed behind the scenes, warbled
plaintive Irish melodies.
"Must die here alone?" moaned the
heroine as the tide rose higher and
higher about the rock on which she
stood and heavy clouds began to gather
above her head. And just at this mo-
ment, a rowboat, propelled by childish
arms, came swiftly around the rocky
point at the left of the stage, and Kitty
Sullivan, throwing aside the oars, stood
up in the boat with her foot on the

treble. 81 have come to save you for the

the sweet faced child, who had charmed
every one during the earlier portions of
the play, sent distinct thrill through
the entire house, and then came such an
outburst of spontaneous applause as had
not been heard in the Jollity theater for
many year.
Even Billy Freelance felt touch of
a magnetic current with which the at
mosphere was charged, and might have
been heard to remark half audibly, 'sThe
